FOUND: 3 Go-To Fashion & Beauty Items

--By Kim Moshtaghi

Tend Skin
$20.00
Available at: ulta.com

There are three items I just can’t live without! These things help me maintain my look-- from nail polish to pants-- and they are always within my reach.

My first item is something I use daily. This may be an odd product but it works very well! If you have ever had ingrown hairs or razor bumps you may want to try Tend Skin. This stuff is a miracle worker. Every morning I have made it a ritual to place some Tend Skin on a cotton ball and rub my bikini area, and voila, all the ingrowns disappear. The best part is you can use it on your legs and underarms, and can share it with your hubby for his problem areas too. I used a lot of products before Tend Skin that my dermatologist recommended and they didn’t work nearly as well. I suggest getting the 16 oz bottle because it makes more economical sense. But, if you are hesitant about the results, get a sample... you will be sold on it!

Victoria's Secret Yoga Foldover Pant
$29.50 OR 2 for $50.00

My nails are always a problem these days. I never have time to get a manicure or give myself one. Because of karate, I ruin my nails easily, so I need a quick classic polish that I can put on before I go somewhere. I finally found one that I can put on right before going out-- literally! Sally Hansen 60 Second Insta-Dri Polish is unbelievable! It actually dries less than 60 seconds! I usually do my hair and makeup, and then put on one coat before I head out. It looks like I just got a manicure, without all the fuss.

Lastly, I love having fold over yoga pants. Yes, I know they aren’t a beauty product, but they do come in handy. Every time I want to run errands in the cold or have things to do before a quick workout, I put on these flattering pants. They look good on everybody and they motivate you to go the gym after you are done running errands. They look better than rolling out of the house with baggy pajama-looking clothing. It’s a polished, clean look that’s easy to throw on. I have 20 pair of fold over yoga pants, and I don’t regret buying any of them. I wear them at some point everyday. I wear them when I’m lounging in front of the TV, going to my boyfriends or heading out to walk my dog.

Every woman needs a piece of clothing, or a beauty product, that she can rely on every single time. These are mine… hope you can benefit from them too!

3 Steps to Perfect Summer Legs

--By Kim Moshtaghi

Jergens Soft Shimmer Moisturizer
$7.49
Available at: drugstore.com

I’m having such a hairy leg season. Every time I shave, I feel prickly again. It is so obnoxious. I guess it’s the warm weather, but frankly I’m disturbed by this. Anyway, my shower and getting ready process is taking longer because I want to make sure to even out every inch of my legs. As you know, when it comes to seasonal beauty fixes, there is always need for a beauty routine that will help solve the problem. In this case, this 3-step routine creates smoother skin, making the hair growth seem softer and less intrusive.

In order to show off your legs without feeling self-conscious, you can’t just rely on self tanners. First, you want to make sure your legs get proper exfoliation in the summer. The skin tends to get uneven and hair just loves to grow faster during such a non-convenient time! My favorite leg exfoliant is Sally Hansen Exfoliating Leg Polisher. This remarkable product gets rid of dry, flakey, uneven skin by moisturizing legs and polishing everything out evenly. That’s not all. It also contains Vitamins A, C, and E which is what helps exfoliate dead skin cells while simultaneously stimulating new cell growth. Retinol and Vitamin K are also present. The Retinol helps strengthen and tone skin elasticity, while Vitamin K aids in fading spider veins and other scars.

Biosilk Silk Therapy
$10.00 - $90.00
Available at: amazon.com

After regaining leg confidence and having even skin, it’s time for a great shimmer moisturizer. Shimmering moisturizer helps enhance the legs and give them the definition they deserve after getting properly exfoliated. The subtle light reflection from using Jergens Soft Shimmer Skin Radiance Moisturizer creates radiant legs ready to be shown off. So, now you have smooth, even toned legs that are defined and sexy-ed up by shimmer. Even if the little hairy pricks want to come out, the combination of the Sally Hansen exfoliant and the Jergens lotion keeps them from making a grand and noticeable appearance

For the last touch, the icing on the cake, I recommend using Biosilk Silk Therapy. I love how you can use this product on your hair and all over your body for a silky, shiny, soft finish. After the Jergens shimmer moisturizer dries, take a teaspoon-sized amount of Biosilk and rub it onto your legs. The results will be impeccable. After this 3-step process the legs will be ready for a grand entry. Speaking of which, I need to get my legs ready for their big date night out!
