Shaun T. Hip Hop Abs – Last Minute Abs 5 Minute Workout Review

Last Minute Abs 5 Minute Workout is another Hip Hop Ab workout by Shaun T. that is the perfect solution for anybody who is looking for a quick, but effective abdominal workout. In only five minutes, your body will be moving fast to the popular hip hop tune “Yeah” by Usher. Shaun T. will get your whole body working, but with special concentration on your abs. If you need to squeeze in a fast workout that you can easily get done before heading out for the day, then this is the workout that not only will fit into your schedule, but will leave you with fantastic results!

As with the other Hip Hop Abs workout routines by Shaun T., you will be engaging in Shaun’s revolutionary Absolute Engagement technique of tilting, tucking and tightening your abs and body to an ultimate lean and ripped condition, without ever doing a single sit-up or crunch! Instead, Shaun T. will have you working out to basic hip hop dance moves with tons of Shaun T. flava! Not only will the good music keep you pumped up, but Shaun T. will keep you feeling motivated the entire workout, even when you think you’ve had enough.

Shaun gets your five minute ab workout started with about one minute of his “Rollin Extreme” dance move. This will get your body warmed up by moving your arms and legs while squeezing in a bit of what I like to call “standing crunches”. Next, you will spend about another two minutes working on each side of your obliques with the “Flo-biques” dance move. By this time, you are sure to start breaking a sweat. Following the oblique workout out, you will move on to the “Hammer Time” hip hop ab workout. Spending about a minute on each side, Shaun will have you doing forward and side leg lifts, including a good 25 seconds of pulses – ouch! If you can make it past this point without falling over, give yourself a swift pat on the back and quickly move on to the “Supa Flava Hoop”. This will lead you into a series of moves such as the “Superman”. Finally, you will spend the last 40 seconds or so slowing your heartrate down. This quick ab workout will have you feeling the groove while working your abs to that hard core six pack.

Is Proactive Acne Treatment Right for You?

Many people of all ages struggle with embarrassing and unattractive acne. Acne starts with a hair follicle that is full of dead skin cells, bacteria, and oil. These materials collect overtime, invisible to the naked eye, and as they collect the area becomes inflamed. This is the cause of a pimple or open comedo. Proactive Solution Skincare is an excellent way to help eliminate, prevent, and heal acne. Proactive is an innovative acne treatment that helps millions of people. With Proactive acne treatment, most all acne-related problems can be easily solved.How Does Proactive Solution Skincare Work?

Proactive uses a form of combination therapy that attacks and disposes of acne. The combination therapy includes the Renewing Cleanser, Revitalizing Toner, and Repair Lotion. With the introduction of these three skincare products to your skin, acne stands little chance of reappearing on your face ever again. The Renewing Cleanser exfoliates your skin and opens up the pores to help the Benzoyl Peroxide, a key ingredient to fighting acne, to penetrate your skin. The Revitalizing Toner helps to remove the accumulation of dead skin cells in your pores, providing further deep cleansing of your skin. Finally, the Renewing Lotion, also containing Benzoyl Peroxide, continues to destroy acne causing bacteria while offering your skin the comfort of moisturization.

Proactive Solution Skincare also offers other great acne treatment products. The Refining Mask assists the skin in balancing the production of sebum. This will help to prevent the formation of blemishes. The Proactive Oil Control Lotion partnered up with any of the other Proactive Solution Skincare products will help to ensure that your skin will stay shine-free. The Proactive Renewing Cleanser, Revitalizing Toner and Repair Lotion are recommended to be used twice a day, morning and night. The Refining Mask need only be applied when a breakout occurs or to help absorb excessive oiliness of the skin.Consistent use of Proactive skincare will help to ensure that your skin is able to fight off acne quickly and efficiently.

How Do You Know if Proactive Solution Skincare is for You?

Acne can occur at any age. Some people believe that acne is only battled by teenagers going through puberty. Although it is true that a large percentage of people with acne are teenagers, there is

The Proactive acne treatment is effective and can work for anyone battling acne. My husband used Proactive for a very long time. During that time, his skin was as clear as ever, with his acne under strict control. However, with extended use, his skin did also become very sensitized and dehydrated. The somewhat aggressive nature of the ingredients used to zap the acne caused redness and flakiness of his skin. If you should find the same thing happening to you, rest assured that there is an easy fix. You do not have to stop using Proactive. Simply add into your skincare regimen an additional toner that will help to hydrate your skin and reduce the sensitivity. The Dermalogica Soothing Protection Spray is a great product to use in this case. You can also consider adding an oil-free, hydrating serum or weekly hydrating Mask to assist in hydrating your skin.

philosophy Shelter Tinted SPF 30

As we all know, sunscreen is a must. But did you know that sunscreen is necessary for all seasons, including the winter? It is so important to protect your skin at all times, even when the weather conditions don’t seem to pose a threat. The truth is, UV rays are always present and will pass through the clouds down onto your skin even in cold temperatures. Furthermore, in areas where it snows, the snow can reflect up to 80% of the sun’s rays and cause sunburn and damage to your skin just as severe as would the hot sun in the summer.So what’s my point? You can switch up your sunscreen to better accommodate your skin throughout the year. That’s how philosophy Shelter Tinted SPF 30 came into my life. I have done a lot of research on philosophy products, but have never actually used any of their product. While shopping for my new skincare last week, I came across this sunscreen and thought I’d give it a try. I am so happy that I did because I absolutely LOVE IT! Here’s why:

1. The texture is perfect for in the winter. You get the protection of SPF 30 with a boost of moisturization, which is always welcomed in the cold and dry months.
2. Your skin is left with a beautiful sheer coverage that is just enough to give you a smooth and balanced look.
3. It is lightweight and has a soothing and gentle lavender fragrance. I love the touch of aromatherapy!
4. A little goes a long way, so one tube can last a very long time.

I am extremely pleased with this tinted SPF and I’m eager to expand my collection of philosophy products. I plan on continuing use of the philosophy Shelter Tinted SPF 30 throughout winter and spring. I am so excited about my new discovery!

What are your experiences with the philosophy brand? Do you have any favorites that you can recommend??

Dermalogica or SkinCeuticals? Part One.

Since the start of my career, I have remained dedicated to the Dermalogica skin care line. While having many opportunities to use other product lines, I always find myself going back Dermalogica. Dermalogica continues to produce quality and effective skincare products that never cease to amaze me both professionally and personally. However, with the new year, I thought I might venture out a bit and try something new. Since my stock of skincare is in dire need of replenishment, my quest for some new product couldn’t have come at a better time.Where else to begin my search but with skinstore.com? This website offers a variety of “top notch” skincare products at a great price with everyday free shipping! During my search, I came across a skincare line called SkinCeuticals. While reading up on their line of cleansers, I noticed that their ingredients were very similar to the Dermalogica brand. One of the reasons I am so devoted to Dermalogica is because they use very natural and pure ingredients. SkinCeuticals is formulated with the same type of natural ingredients. Also like Dermalogica, SkinCeutical conveniently lists ingredients on their product with both the cosmeceutical term as well as the more familiar or “consumer-friendly” term.

For example, the cosmeceutical term Santalum Album Wood is also listed as Sandlewood Extract, a term we are all more familiar with. In addition to the two product lines sharing similar ingredients, their sizes and prices are comparable. The Dermalogica Essential Cleansing Solution, which is my all-time favorite cream cleanser, is sold for $29.50 in an 8.4oz bottle, while the SkinCeuticals Cleansing Cream costs $26.00 for an 8oz bottle. The only difference I did find between the two lines is that Dermalogica offers most of their products in two sizes, either eight or sixteen ounce bottles, while SkinCeuticals is only offered in the eight ounce size. I can deal with that!

So after discovering the many similarities between Dermalogica and SkinCeuticals, I thought why not give SkinCeuticals a shot. I ended up ordering just “a few items”, the SkinCeuticals Cleansing Cream, SkinCeuticals Revitalizing Toner and SkinCeuticals Daily Moisture. I am eager to receive my new skincare products and can’t wait to tell you all about them! As with all new skincare, I will use them consistently for at least two weeks before forming my final opinion. Has my beloved Dermalogica found it’s match?

Stay tuned to find out!!
