Neck Steps

I’m thinking that maybe Nora Ephron wouldn’t have felt so bad about her neck if she had tried ArticLift, Freeze 24-7’s new firming neck cream. Everyone knows to use serums, moisturizers, sunblock, etc. on their faces, but often neglect the neck and décolleté, where skin is thinner and more fragile—and those telltale lines are as revealing as the rings on a tree. The cream did make my neck lines less noticeable; and the company promises that results improve over time. $95, available in August at Nordstrom, Bloomingdales, and at www.freeze247.com. Read More

Beat the Frizzies

I’ve tried Macadamia and Moroccan oils and loved them both; but fickle me, now I have a new crush on Argan oil. It smoothes hair and reduces blow drying time like the others, but also acts as a natural UV and thermal protector. Just spritz it on for weightless shine and frizz control. U Luxury Argan Oil. $47.95 at www.unitehair.com. Read More

Rub-a-Dub-Scrub

While I was getting a pedicure over the weekend, Jennifer and JoAnna Sciarrino of Derma Glow of New York in North Salem (1 Dingle Ridge Rd, 914-338-7822; dermaglowofny.com) clued me in about Scrubz (scrubzbodyscrub.com), one of their best-selling products. This all-natural scrub is actually four products in one: body scrub, facial scrub, shave prep, and natural moisturizer. Who doesn’t love a multi-tasker, especially when it comes in so many delicious scents like Sweet Milk and Honey, Warm Vanilla, Wild Cherry Almond, and more. $27 for a 16-ounce jar. Read More

Cut the Clutter

Ever since my kids came home from college, I’ve got hair appliances all over my bathroom: curling iron, flat iron, blow dryer, the works, and it isn’t pretty. Then I discovered this cool new wall mounted cabinet that neatly holds all your hair appliances—they fit right into their mounting devices and one switch turns them all on or off. Brilliant. The Style & Go Hair Care Valet comes in white, black and espresso, $149. Available for pre-order now; by July 25 on HSN and www.simplysolvedinnovations.com. Read More
