A photo posted by Detox Market Canada (@detoxmarketcanada) on May 17, 2016 at 1:53pm PDT I’ve always been a label reader, skeptical of ingredients in food that require a chemistry degree. For years, I’ve diligently stuck to the outside aisles and avoided pre-made, pre-packaged foods. When a brush with cancer (in remission!) shook me up […]

In fact, we’ve greatly enjoyed every single glazed sweet, boozy drink and almighty dinner that comes our way. But our bodies somewhat […]

Whether it’s vigorous exercise, embarrassment, an orgasm or extreme temperatures, our body’s response is one and the same: to blush. And that physical reaction of heat rising to our cheeks creating a distinct flush is something that only humans can claim. As long as we’ve been painting our faces, we’ve been mimicking this effect. “Blush […]

As cooler temperatures approach and the sparkle of summer begins to fade, so does that seasonal glow we’ve been pairing with our barely there makeup look. We applied all the sunscreen we could possible lather on, but sometimes that just isn’t enough and we need to give our faces a little extra attention. Facials are […]

Well, we begged and begged and finally, summer has actually arrived and it’s…humid. Every year, while we’re in the depths of winter, we somehow forget about all of the less-than-wonderful aspects of warmer weather until the sun emerges once again and all of a sudden we’ve gone from frozen to sticky. This summer, keep a […]

These days, natural beauty products are full of outstanding ingredients sourced from every part of nature imaginable. Researchers and formulators are going to the ends of the earth and as deep into organic fruits and vegetables as possible to extract high-performing ingredients. The good news is, all of this research means that you don’t need to turn to synthetic products in your own quest to find the fountain of youth. Ranging from basic single-ingredient-wonders to sophisticated product blends, natural anti-aging products take the form of masks, cremes, serums, treatments, oils and cleansers, with key ingredients to plump, refresh and refine skin naturally. The shelves are brimming with options, but here are six faves to stock up on to beat the clock.

I’m looking for a new beauty look this season. What’s the eye makeup trend to try this summer?
While summer can be a minimal makeup moment for many, it’s also a great opportunity to experiment with summer makeup trends. The sun is shining, so seize the moment and inject some colour into your look. If bright shades are a bit bold for your taste, pastels offer a dose of colour without overwhelming any particular feature of your face. Add the Bobbi Brown Surf Palette ($75, at Bobbi Brown counters) to your arsenal for a mélange of different textures and finishes to play with, such as soft aqua blue, green and shimmery pink shades, complemented by warm-toned neutral shades to ground any look from becoming too Easter-inspired.

What’s a hydrosol? Commonly called floral waters, hydrosols are becoming increasingly popular in all-natural and organic beauty products. Less concentrated and more mellow than essential oils, hydrosols still possess the healing and aromatic applications of aromatherapy and are often used in place of water in natural products. By boiling plant materials (petals, roots, leaves, you name it) with water, oils and essences are released into the steam as it rises and collects in a separate container. Once cooled, the oil that remains is essential oil, and the steam that settles becomes a hydrosol. 

Every week we take on your questions about makeup, skincare, hair and more and provide all the answers. This week we discuss a new innovation for professional blow outs—and one that just may change our lives! We also share tips for shopping for a new serum and face mask and report on how to get the look from the Jason Wu Fall 2013 show. Have a question we haven’t answered?
