I am in love with a new kind of skin exfoliator I recently discovered at a Brooklyn shop that offers unique natural health and beauty products. Called The Ayate Washcloth from Flower Valley, it’s hand woven in Mexico from 100 percent natural agave fiber (from the same plant that gives us Agave syrup), and it works better than any loofa I’ve ever used.

If you ask any respected dermatologist or plastic surgeon what ingredient should absolutely be included in an anti-aging skin cream, they undoubtedly will answer “retinol.”
That’s why we were excited to learn about Neutrogena Rapid Wrinkle Repair Regenerating Cream ($24.31 for 1.7oz), which provides a generous dose of retinol at an affordable price. We’re also offering one lucky lady the chance to win a jar of this miracle worker!
I On Youth Collection sponsored this post and provided FabOverFifty with product and compensation, but all opinions and copy are those of Geri Brin and FabOverFifty.
We’re always curious when we’re introduced to an innovative way to use a popular skincare product. So we couldn’t wait to try the I On Youth Collection by Irene Michaels Roll-On Serum, sold exclusively on Amazon, because it’s applied with a rollerball! Irene was a star from General Hospital in the 90s, and she’s got impeccable skin. She created her line on the premise that when we consistently use high-quality skincare products, and maintain a healthy lifestyle, we can look and feel great regardless of our age.
Geri Brin, founder of FabOverFifty, tried Irene’s four products. Here’s the rundown, and Geri’s take on each.

Microbes, for those of us who long ago forgot 8th grade biology, are microorganisms that can only be seen with a microscope, and live inside us, around is, and on us. As a matter of fact, the microbes in our bodies outnumber the cells of normal human bodies by 10 times. 99 percent of microbes are beneficial: They facilitate food digestion to give us energy, synthesize vitamins, and stimulate our immune system and prevent infection.

Although wrinkles, lines and crow’s feet aren’t diseases, most of us feel like they are, and we want to be rid of them. We’d also like the skin care lotions and potions we buy to live up to their claims but, how do we check the endless promises….promises that all of these products make?
The answer is simple:
Arm yourself with knowledge about “active” ingredients, which can be critical to the effectiveness of skin care formulas. These are substances that may deliver flawless skin, and understanding them will help you sort through all of the products on the market.
Take the FabOverFifty quiz and see how much you really know about the “anti-aging” products that vow to give your skin back its “youthful” glow! (more…)
