Article by: Guest Author This is a guest post by cosmetic science expert Gary Neudahl . We’ve had a warm winter, a hot spring and a really hot and dry summer in the midwest. Perhaps you’ve thought of getting rid of the sweat and getting away from it all, luxuriating in peace and quiet, taking a nice, long bath. Maybe you’ve already been there, done that. More than once. If you’ve used a bath oil, following is what was likely in it, and why. Bath oil formulation A classical bath oil composition consists of: Emollients: 85 — 100% Antimicrobial Agents: 0 — 0.5% Dispersing Agents: 0 — 10% “Label-Copy” Ingredients: 0 — 0.5% Fragrance (Parfum): 0 — 4% Antioxidants: 0 — 0.05% Emollients Water- insoluble emollients constitute the vast majority of the formulation. In the absence of a dispersing agent, these ingredients float on the surface of the water and, upon exiting the bathtub, leave an emollient film on the skin that enhances moisture retention and softness. Most widely uti...

Whatever people say, sometimes looks do matter – especially on your home’s front door. Julia Gray looks at how to make the right first impression POINTING out that the front door is one of the first things visitors see of your home sounds like a very obvious statement – but it’s a statement that can often be overlooked. Because people become so focused on bigger DIY projects – be it converting lofts or installing fancy new kitchens – that one humble, simple door can easily be forgotten. Think what a difference a simple door, when it is smart, bright and stylish, can make to your home – and what you can do if, on closer inspection, your front door is not smart or bright or stylish. The easiest thing to do is change the door furniture – chrome or satin nickel is more fashionable than brass and gives a smart, contemporary look, suited to period and modern doors. Get metal door numbers to match, or consider frosted-film numbers if you have a glazed or partially glazed door or porch...

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — During New Mexico’s dry winter months , residents wage war on dry, itchy skin, chapped lips and persistent static cling . To increase moisture at home, solutions range from buying humidifiers to adding houseplants and indoor fountains. Customers ask for humidifiers to combat problems like nosebleeds and dry skin, says Robb Baucom, a sales specialist at Lowe’s on Paseo del Norte in Albuquerque. Indoor humidity should be 35 percent to 40 percent, which can be measured on some thermometers. Other ways to add moisture • After a shower, open the bathroom door to let steam out to the rest of the house. •  Don’t run the dry cycle on the dishwasher. Instead, open the door to release moisture, which also saves money. •  Buy an indoor fountain. •  Hang wet clothes to dry in the house, either on a laundry rack or hangers, which saves on energy costs. • Add houseplants. • Fill a spray bottle with water, adding lemon rind or herbs like rosemary or lavender for scent.

Beauty brands not native to America have invaded the market over the past few years — occupying prime shelf space everywhere from Sephora to Target. But instead of erecting walls to keep outsiders at bay, U.S. consumers have wholeheartedly embraced the hair, makeup, and skincare crazes from foreign lands as if they were their own. (Perhaps beauty products are even better than an olive branch?) Korean beauty, for example, is such a big hit that several stores (like Nordstroms) have devoted precious square footage to the country’s cosmetic exports, while K-themed pop-up shops (like Glow Recipe’s Glow Studio in New York City) and subscription services deliver goods straight to your door (there’s Soko Glam’s Klog Box and Mishibox to name two popular options ) abound from coast to coast. But Korean companies aren ’t the only ones interested in expanding their territory and capturing the hearts (and complexions) of an adoring American public : Argentina, Brazil, Britain, Canada, France, an...
