If you want spa quality products without the high prices, the Murad line is well worth a try. They have a wide range of products for just about any skin concern so you can easily customize a skin care regimen to meet your specific needs. Their Acne Complex Kit is one of the most effective treatments on the market today and the Environmental Shield products are excellent for dealing with damage caused by the elements. If you're unsure about switching, why not try replacing just one of your salon products with the equivalent from Murad, such as one of the cleansers? Check out the customer reviews as well on the products you're considering. My personal "must have" (and the first product I ever tried from this line) is their Soothing Skin & Lip Therapy. It not only keeps lips from drying and chapping without being greasy but also works to heal skin irritations like minor cuts and burns and fever blisters.

If you are talking about the Wexler Lip Plumper, in my experience yes, it works. If you use it consistently, it will actually start to build up the collagen in your lips, which will help to make them look fuller and smoother, and it will also help with those fine lines around your lips. It is a great little product! I keep the clear in my purse at all times.

And like all of the Wexler products, the acne line also contains MMPi-20, which is the anti-aging ingredient the line uses.

I have had some trouble with black heads on my nose. I have been using two things that I find extremely helpful. First, I use Patricia Wexler's Microbrasion Exfoliating system about 2 -3 times a week, with a little extra time around the nose area. I find this very, very helpful. I also use C. O. Bigelows Clay Mask 1 - 2 times a week to help pull any extra oil, impurties, etc, out of my skin. I have been virtually black head free and my skin looks great.

All standard BBW stores and Flagships carry Fekkai. You can purchase items online also.

To me Spearmint has a stronger peppermint taste but maybe not. They also have lemon,lime,orange and another flavor that i believe is either strawberry or raspberry. They are in that colloection with the lighter and darker shade of color swirl on the tube. Well I really hope that helped you and I did my best with descriptions. (i apologize if they aren't the best) I love CO.Bigelow and recommend it to EVERYONE! (Especially the climate i live in. You have to have something to mosturize your lips because its so fridgid here in the winter and these products do the trick!)

Not sure what you are looking to "help."

For basic skincare, BBW stores sell the Victoria's Secret line PINK. The lotion comes in a fragrance called Fruity and Bright, that is light and smells like sweet berries. It is fragranced with blackberries and vanilla. It is very popular. It also comes in a body splash. There are also 2 other fragrance lines of PINK also sold by BBW. They are all popular, especially with young ladies. None of them are heavy or musky fragrances.

The best for shiny smooth hair is the glossing shampoo and conditioner from frederick fekkai, then follow up with a small amount of glossing cream.

I have been told by dermatologists that your skin has to get worse before it can get better. If your skin is breaking out using this Anti-Acne kit, it is entirely plausible that your skin is pushing out all the 'badness', so to speak.

When you wash your face, make sure your hands are clean, and that you massage your face for 45 seconds to a minute. That gives the soap ample time to work into your pores and clean your face thoroughly. When you use a moisturizer, I highly recommend using a light one and use a VERY thin amount of it (same for the skin regenerating serum).

Too much product can cause problems. My advice for you is to use less moisturizing on your face, and give it a few more weeks. If the situation hasn't improved, consider bringing it back.

Every professional I've ever been to has told me that any serious skin changes require at least a month to be noticeable.

I also have thick wavy hair that tends to get a little frizzy. I was curious about the product but was hesitant to spend the money on something that may not have worked. I got a sample of the glossing cream and quickly found out how great the product is. It not only makes your hair shiny but it tames the frizz and defines curls better than anything I have ever tried. I started using some of the other products in the line and the more fekkai glossing products you use, the better your hair looks. It never looks or feels greasy either.
