Skin Testing:Peter Thomas Roth Camu Camu

As we all get older the race to find new miracle treatments or "hopes in a jar" continues. As of late I have been incorporating Vatamin C serums into my skin care regime which have yielded great results, but I like you get easily swayed by new product advertising. The latest product I am trying is Peter Thomas Roth camu camu power c it costs $85.00 before taxes so in reality your looking at close to $100.00 skin serum for your face. I was not happy about this but did find a cheaper one on which ran me roughly 47.00 and took 3 days to arrive at my door. The packaging is a nice round orange bottle which won't get lost and the illusion that your getting a lot for your money, the pump to release the product is a little jerky and "shoots" the liquid onto the palm of your hand. Now let's remember two words I just mentioned "liquid" & "shoots". My encounters with "serums" are that they have a thicker consistency than a liquid and ooze out and not "shoot" out of the bottle. The serum that Perter Thomas Roth claims to sell you is in all truth a liquid not a serum which translates into a loss of control of the product! Application of the serum is near next to impossible since when you release it, its all over your hand, hence no serum consistency! It does smell like oranges and leaves a slight tightening feeling on your face. In the end result there are cheaper and better serums with Vitamin C with greater product control. In short this is one to shy away from despite its glowing reviews.

PHYTO-C Skin Care

A new antioxidant product line has hit the marketplace called Phyto-c skin care, developed by Dr. Mostafa M. Omar who is the professor of Pharmacognosy at the University of Rhode Island. The key ingredient in the Phyto-C line is L-Ascorbic Acid or better know as Liquid Vitamin-C. According to Dr. Omar Liquid Vitamin-C is one of the most effective antioxidants and is the only material that can penetrate the skin. It protects our skin against UV rays and pollution, as well helps repair skin cells and tissue damaged by free radicals.

The two products we tried were Icy Blue and Moisturize Cream. Icy Blue has a cool sensation when applied to the face and goes directly into your skin and left no residue on our face, the same can be said for the Moisturize cream. We like the Vitamin-C factor in these products since we don't get enough of it so any addition is a plus! The product can only be found through the company website www.phyto-ceutical.com

King of Shaves the Triple Crown of Shaving for Men

Over the past five years men have been treated to a vast selection of new skincare products, some great; some not so. The one thing men are in search of is ,the perfect shave which can be a daunting task sometimes leading to shaving twice or just not getting the close shave men desire so they can go on with their day.

Here at The Fashion Tribune we believe we have found the answer to this problem by way of King of Shaves a men's line out of The United Kingdom. The two products we road tested where the Kinexium shave gel and X-XF Face Scrub. The new Kinexium Shave Gel incorporates an advanced lubrication system, featuring LubrNyl-12 which eliminates friction while increasing razor glide. When we shaved with this product two factors stood out. First we did not have to use very much and (2)true to form our razor went across our face like skating on ice! As for the end result we got a very smooth shave.

The K-XF Face Scrub with a dual-active, non abrasive formula came out with a good thick consistency incorporating micro-particles and fruit extracts to gently exfoliate the skin. After using, our skin felt clean and refreshed.

We firmly believe this is hands down the best shaving system for men and what makes the product even more attractive is the price. All of the products in the line are under $10.00 and the line is vast and expansive showing men that King of Shaves is serious about men's skincare. More information can be found at www.shave.com
