Playing Favorites: My Latest Skincare Must-Haves Keeping up with appearances involves more than just maintaining a well-stocked medicine cabinet. Don’t worry; you’re not alone. Every month, my inbox is overflowing with questions on everything from polish to perfume. Below, I tackle two of your latest inquires: Q: Dear Tara, I am seeking a great summer fragrance and I don’t know where to start. I want something sophisticated, but nothing too intense. Any ideas? A. You’re right in seeking a fresh substitute for your heavy wintertime scents – in the warmer months, they’re totally out of place. Still, you don’t have to resort to smelling like a resort just because it’s suddenly sunny. Stay sophisticated yet soft with a juicy herbal fragrance like A Perfume Organic’s Green. It’s citrus-y and soothing and not at all cloying or expected. Think a fresh hike in the woods versus a day at the beach. I love dabbing a bit behind the knees on warm summery nights. Q. I need a great sunscreen for my kids that will stay on during a day at the beach. Any suggestions? A. Of course! Right now I am loving Episencial’s Sunny Sunscreen. It’s a totally kid-friendly formula free of chemicals and toxins. Plus, it doesn’t leave behind any white residue and works for both face and body. Beeswax and shea butter do an amazing - and natural – job of water protection to boot. Got beauty questions? Send them in and I’ll answer in a future column.
The success of this company is due to the passion of its founder, Kim D'Amato. The idea behind Priti NYC came alive during her pregnancy. D’Amato made a conscious effort to switch to organic foods and health products, yet couldn’t seem to find a way to beautify herself in the same natural manner. In 2005, D’amato launched Priti NYC with one simple mission: to support organic farmers and to decrease the amount of chemicals poisoning the earth- and it’s inhabitants-one manicure at a time. |

Does using concealer really make me look younger?
Absolutely! Covering dark circles under eyes will take years off of your face. We love vapours illusionist concealer, Illusionist Concealer. It is mineral based for a flawless finish.
What eye cream do you recommend for puffy eyes?
Try Madara’s Ecoeyes Firming Eye Contour Gel. Ecoeyes Firming Eye Contour Gel Even sufficient slumber won’t erase the unsightly dark circles under your eyes caused by genetics, stress, or fatigue. This product utilizes parsley extract to reduce
and revive your eye area.
Do I need a primer in addition to my moisturizer before applying foundation?
Yes! They serve different purposes… moisturizers hydrate skin and primers smooth fine lines, making for a more flawless finish with foundation… try: Stratus Instant Skin Perfector
