Treatments -Makeup Artist's Choice (MUAC) - TCA Peel

A beauty product that finally delivered as promised. I used a 3-layer peel of the 12.5% solution on a spot of hyperpigmentation that had grown so dark I could no longer even cover it with concealer. It peeled right off, and now is barely noticeable without makeup. You have to follow the directions exactly, you need to start out at a low level of concentration until you know your tolerance level, and you have to be prepared to look like a gargoyle for a few days (I only do it in sections - I can't take off of work for a week waiting for my entire face to stop looking freakish), but it really will improve age spots, surface lines, etc. I bought the sample size (you don't need the gloves, use Q-tips and don't touch the solution), and washed with Aveeno Oatmeal Moisturizing Soap. I still have 1/2 the bottle left. This is a must-have in the skin care arsenal for all skin types.

Hair -Garnier - Fructis Shampoo & Conditioner

Sleek & Shine Shampoo is terrific for dry, curly hair. I've gone through half a bottle of this shampoo and literally dozens of people have asked me whether I've highlighted my hair, cut my hair, re-styled it, etc. Even when I was recently caught out in the snow, the top of my hair stayed soft and straight, and the curls at the bottom stayed smooth and soft - no frizzies at all. I combine it with a leave-in conditioner by Rusk, which I apply to the ends only. Also, I only wash my hair every other day. For those who require daily washings, this shampoo would likely cause build-up, but if you don't have an oily scalp and your hair tends to dry out or get frizzy, this shampoo is wonderful. Ane shine? I have blonde hair that I dye red underneath, leaving the blonde as only highlights - with this shampoo the blonde could now light up a room!! Don't over condition your scalp and I bet you'll love it, too.
