Can Coca Cola give you a better tan?
Nanda asks…Will Coca Cola give you a better sun tan?
When I first head this I thought it was an obscure, ridiculous rumor. But I was wrong. it turns out it’s a very pervasive, ridiculous rumor.
Yeah, if you Google “using coca cola to tan” you get THOUSANDS of search results from people raving about the tanning powers of Coke. People all over the world say that you can get a darker tan if you apply Coke to your skin. My favorite is…Top ten myths about Coca Cola which just happen to be true. But all the article does is repeat the myth – there’s not a hint of evide...

Are super foods good for your skin? Episode 137
Are super foods effective beauty ingredients?
Jana asks…What are your thoughts on super foods in skin care? Ingredients like acacia, coconut, grapeseed oil, berries, green tea, avocado, turmeric and resveratrol.
What the heck IS a super food? There is no scientific or medical definition. Typically you’ll see them described like this: “superfoods are nutrient powerhouses that pack large doses of antioxidants, polyphenols, vitamins, and minerals.”
Jana’s question comes at a good time because I was just asked this same thing by a reporter from R29. She asked about things like Kale, Spirulina, and Chia seeds.

Is Rodan and Fields really different?
Dawn asks…
I’m interested in getting your opinion on whether or not Rodan and Fields is different from any other skin care line. My gut says they are the same. I participated in a virtual information session (my friend wants me to join her team) and all the other consultants raved about the products as if nothing else had ever worked for them before. I feel the price point is high. And to be frank, my degree is in chemistry and I recently closed my own skin care business. So, when I received some...

This week Randy and I explain how to test your makeup primer to see if it’s worth the money.
Improbable products

Matcha Tea for Dental Health, Fact or Fable?

Are natural extracts better than water?
Liz asks…Since water is usually the first ingredient of any shampoo… then all these extracts are basically taking the place of plain old water. What would make this formulation different is the concentration of the extracts in the purified water, no?
The Beauty Brains respond:
Think of it like this, Liz:
Let’s say my shampoo is made of mostly water (about 90%) and the rest (10%) is detergent, preservative, thickener, color, etc. So my ingredient list would read something like…
“Water, detergent, preservative, thickener, color, etc.”
Now, let’s say I want to make this formula look more nat...

Don’t be duped by deceptive drugstore doubles
You can save a ton of money buying the “house brands” instead of the more expensive brand name beauty products right? The answer is, it depends. You need to really look at the label to make sure the ingredients match. Just because the so-called “generic” brand has a similar name, similar claims and similar packaging doesn’t automatically mean it has the same ingredients.
For example, take a look at Studio 35 Beauty’s version of Olay’s Regenerist Micro Sculpting cream.

Now to the new and existing research.
Before we start, keep in mind the researchers used a powerful extract of green tea compound called EGCG (epigallocatechin-3-gallate).
When you read the word extracts this usually means a "high octane" version of what you could usually get drinking a cup of tea. It also usually means that you might have to drink hundreds of cups of green tea in order to get the same effect that comes from ingesting...

Is Desert Essence shampoo actually organic?
Herbvynll has something to say…I recently bought this but yet to use it. It was around $7. I got it because I like light to no scents in my shampoo’s. I went on Amazon.com and read some reviews and there were an equal amount of 1/5 reviews and 5/5 reviews. It’s like going cross eyed trying to figure out if I should use it or not. I’ve been using Suave and V05 for years and grew up on Johnson’s and Loreal Kids. My hair and scalp are normal. Meaning not dry or oily. However, my hair is thick. I was wondering if Desert Essence line is actually organic and not false leading like Organix line. And ...
