The Herstyler Clipless Curling Iron is an exemplary product if you’re looking for effortless, long lasting curls. Its ceramic barrel heats up to 200?C in approximately 60 seconds, reducing wait time and allowing for quick production of your favorite do. Each purchase includes a light weight, 1 inch barrel wand boasting an extra-long fixed cord and a heat protectant glove for your fragile fingers. Colorful designs offer multiple choices to fit your personality and the thin, textured grip assures a better, more comfortable hold. Since the product was first put out on the market, new options have propped up that offer more versatile use. Multi-barrel extensions, which range from half an inch to an inch in width, provide the user with more control over each curl.

At first glance, the curler may seem intimidating as its clipless design is unlike conventional curling irons. But using this product is simple and easy to learn. The curling iron works best when positioned upside down as this is the most efficient way to wind your hair around the barrel. The heat protectant glove provided with the product eases any fears of burning for beginners, but often gets in the way and limits use of your hand. The curler itself is gentle on hair and forms sleek, no frizz curls, but if the air is rather dry, the glove can often produce static frizz that can become a hassle.

The original design features a tapered barrel that allows for the construction of multiple styles to suit your mood. Even without the multi-barrel extensions, you can create all types of curls ranging from small, tight spirals to big, loose waves all dependent on how tight you wind your hair around the barrel and how long you hold your hair to the heat. The curls fashioned with this product last all day without the need for sprays and gels that harden hair and create a less fluid, unnatural look. Perfect, long lasting curls are easy to make with this curler on almost any hair type, even pin-straight, hard-to-curl hair. However, very thick, coarse hair requires longer time on heat to produce even curls which can damage hair. The curler may not work as well on this type of hair.

In all, this product is great for a majority of people looking for a simple, efficient way to create long lasting, silky curls.

Tria Laser v. Silk’n Flash And Go

Currently: Buy a Silk'n Flash and Go and get a Free Silk'n Swirl (skin cleansing brush). See the details at the Flash and Go link.

Thinking of buying a home laser hair removal device? The two top choices are the Tria Laser and the Silk’n Flash & Go. Both are quality items that come with money back guarantees, but they have their slight differences. So, when deciding on the Tria v. Flash and Go, read below for more information!

 BUY THE TRIA LASER                   BUY THE FLASH AND GO

The Tria was the first quality home laser to the market. It may be used on body hair only. I have personally tested it and achieved good results from it. It is sturdy, I have not had to replace the lamp, and I just overall love it.  ($395)

The Flash and Go can be used on facial hair as well as body. It takes slightly longer per treatment, but is equally effective and is the more affordable product. It gets great reviews. It will require lamp replacement more often. ($299)

Both products are comfortable to use. The only sensation is a slight heating feeling. There is no pain at all. At the highest setting some think the heating is more intense. I have not personally had any issues at all with the Tria with that.

Keep in mind that both products, because they are lasers, cannot be used on dark skin. The best candidates for permanent hair removal are those with lighter skin and darker hair. Both products include sensors to test whether your skin tone is too dark. Both can be returned if that is the case. In fact, both come with a full money back guarantee.

It typically takes 6 months to a year of regular treatments (normally bi-weekly) to see results. It took me over 9 months. But once you have achieved hair loss it is permanent. Buy using a home device you can save thousands over the cost of having laser hair removal done in a salon.

Introduction to the PaloVia Laser

Over the next 4 weeks, I will testing the PaloVia Laser, the first home skin renewing laser for treating under eye wrinkles and crows feet. The PaloVia Laser uses fractional laser technology to treat wrinkles under and around the eye. It is FDA cleared for that area, and a clinical study had promising results within just 4 weeks. At age 45, I am just starting to get concerned with fine lines and wrinkles around my eyes, so I am hoping the PaloVia can help me get started early on treating those before they get worse!

Palovia

In the past I have used simple eye creams in the eye area. Retinol can be great in that area, but unfortunately I am a bit sensitive to it-something that surprised me since I don’t generally have sensitive skin. As a result, I really could use something for  treating the area beyond simple moisturizers. Looking through the literature that came with the PaloVia device, I am hopeful.

First, the pamphlet that came with the device includes the results of a clinical study with quite a bit of detail. That is rather refreshing, as many products are not quite so transparent. From the information, it appears that results are generally quite good, with 77% of participants strongly agreeing that wrinkles were visibly reduced after 4 weeks and 82% after 4 months. The primary risks usually involve redness and dryness, although roughness, swelling, flaking, and a tanned appearance were also reported. Second, several beauty blogger friends of mine have tried the device with good results. So that too makes me hopeful!

The PaloVia is $499, so it isn’t cheap, but it is much cheaper than having professional treatment done at a physician’s office. So, with that consideration, it seems like a decent value.

So, to get started, here are before pictures. I will post after pictures at the end of the four weeks. I will also post a video or two over the next few weeks on how to use the device and information about my experience with it and my results.

This is my left eye. I have fine lines and the start of two wrinkles at the outside corner.

Palovia Left Eye Before

This is my right eye. This one bothers me more as I have a definite crow’s foot type wrinkle that goes off to the side of it and the under eye lines are more noticeable .   The mark that is above my eye is a scar, so I’m afraid I am stuck with that one!

Palovia Right Eye Before

In my case, the wrinkles are just getting started, so hopefully that makes them easier to treat. I am starting this right now, so check back next week to see how week one went!
