Part 2 In-Cosmetics/Javits NYC It's not all in the packaging-but new to the USA...sunscreen/block sticks (TSA friendly - portable)...and micro-needling delivery systems-from South Korean companies... caught our attention. K BEAUTY TRENDS we hope catch on here... Stick sunscreens (and moisturizing balms -pictured below)...are huge in Asia-in particular- S. Korea-where golf is a popular activity. Portable for sure---and less sticky than the ones we lavish on our skin... SUNJIN Beauty Science 's showed several innovative full spectrum sunblock/sunscreens including one that is EWG certified.

Basically-one fills the micro needle device with contents of these ampules...and applies,  Study results using RETURN del...

From natural brand DERMA-E  a new Vitamin C collection-includes the ideal warm weather version-the Vitamin C Micellar Cleansing Water -gives thorough skin cleansing (via liquid dampened cotton ball)-dissolving water-resistant makeup and impurities that includes sweat--leaving a fresh feeling. Since facial skin feels replenished not striped,  (Rooibus has polyphenols-supposed to support  youthful skin -similar to grapes, grape seeds and maritime tree bark, Probiotics.anti aging properties))--normal to oily skin can skip the moisturizer after using this product-especially during the warm temps. Added plu...

TIP: Our most visual proof of who wears must  wear sunscreen....is at triathlon races where the whole set-up for gear/bike is by age/gender...and the distinct differences in skin texture/tone amongst gals who are the same age-is scary stark obvious.  Even the sunscreen addicts though can benefit from skincare tune-ups via easy to handle ablative procedures (like Fraxel)...or what we recently tried, a Micro-Needle/Laser (RF WAVE) treatment-that in theory are both 'lunchtime treatments'-that require not much downtime -but can also be aggressively performed-thereby requiring  a day...
