Hottest New Nail Colour For Spring
This spring, the hottest colour for nails is a deep shade of midnight blue. Several companies have put out their own versions, and here are a few I really like:
OPI nail colours last a long time, don't contain harmful chemicals like dibutyl phthalate or toluene, and come with a wide salon-quality brush for ease of application.
Although much more expensive, Chanel does make a great nail polish formula that lasts a long time. This colour is particularly hard to find and is a limited edition.
Dior Vernis Long-Wearing Nail Lacquer in Poison Blue
A fantastic shade of blue at a reasonable price from one of my favourite fashion houses!

Treating Keratosis Pilaris
1. DERMAdoctor KP Duty Dermatologist Moisturizing Therapy For Dry Skin
2. DERMAdoctor KP Duty Dermatologist Body Scrub with Chemical + Physical Medi-Exfoliation
This scrub is a MUST if you are going to treat your KP properly. It acts as both a chemical peel and a microdermabrasion treatment. Use this before the cream above for unbelievable results! It can also be used on in-grown hairs and prior to using sunless tanning cream.
3. AmLactin Moisturizing Cream
The exfoliation process is critical to treating KP, but you do not want to over-exfoliate, or you may end up making it worse. Gently scrub the areas with a body brush or a loofa, but do not use pumice or any other sloughing tools, usually meant for pedicures. I have even had success with using an alpha hydroxy facial cleanser on my arms prior to applying a treatment cream.
Have any other questions about KP? Leave them for me!
