What’s that on Your Face?

So as a Beauty Enthusiast (or junkie if you prefer), I have tried many cleansers, toners moisturizers, creams etc. etc., expensive and over the counter. And as an Esthetician, I get to experience the ones you can only purchase at a salon. So what really lies behind my bathroom door, what do I really use? Shhh! Once you enter, I will have to silence you!! No- just kidding- come on in!

My Arsenal for Perfect skin!

So in the AM, after I drag myself out of bed, and after I’ve hit the snooze button 2, 3, 4 times, I hit the shower. I wash my face, neck and shoulders with Microdelivery Exfoliating Wash by Philosophy. This wash works like a dream, and provides great resurfacing results. Such as buffering out fine lines and wrinkles (if you have them, which I don’t!) and acting like a mini-peel! It is gentle enough to use night and day, every day.  It also helps remove any makeup, I didn’t take off the night before-you’ll find out about that later. Yikes! Next up, Dr.Denese Hydroshield Firming Facial Serum. Now this is essential to my aging skin (watch it-I know what you’re saying)! For my age, I look Fabulous!! I  LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this stuff! I just ordered the super-size, 4oz!  This lightweight serum melts into the skin like butta’-well not like butta’ cause you wouldn’t put butta’ on your face, but you know what I mean. It “intensely moisturizes” dry and dehydrated skin, which can be a result of aging. I love the way it makes my face and neck feel SO SOFT!!-A little goes a long way, you only need 1 pump. When you first use it you’ll think, “This is so oily”. However, massage it into your face and neck, and let it penetrate in for 5 minutes, and let your skin DRINK it in. During that 5 minutes, I try to figure out what I’m wearing to work, start breakfast, get my son up you know the morning routine. I don’t have to wash it off, so I don’t need to rush.

Next up “Hope in a Jar” moisturizer by Philosophy. This is one of Oprah’s favorite things, and it works exactly how they describe it- “a drink of water for your skin.” This soufflé like moisturizer feels so good on my face! It is not heavy, not greasy and your skin will love it. Now my skin is glowing, my skin tone is even, and my pores are cleaned out. Yeah, bring on the day! My makeup is next, but that’s a whole different treasure chest!

In the evening, as I drag myself home from my J-O-B (just over broke) and after James fetches my slippers, I begin my evening routine. Now I have to admit, and don’t tell anyone, but sometimes I don’t wash my face in the evening! AYYY! That’s right- I know, I know that is the one rule, I tell my clients to follow-“wash your face at night” because it has all the dirt and gunk from the day. I’m working on it!! Geez! So when I do wash my face- I start with makeup remover for my eye makeup, because that stuff is like crazy glue! I put my Purity made Simple cleanser/toner from Philosophy on my Clarisonic!

Me and my Clarisonic!

Yeah my Clarisonic! I love this little machine. It takes off so much dirt and grime and makeup, so much better than just using my hands (I need to get one for my clients)! The Purity takes off my makeup, as well as balance out my Ph (toner). Next up Dr. Denese resurfacing pads- Love these! The name says what it does-I do this just 3-4 times a week and only at night. It’s not good to go into the sun after this- : 0 Now my Hydroshield (as in AM) and my Hope in a jar (as in AM)!

I know this all seems like a lot, but it is something that just fits into your morning and night routines. And you will definitely notice a difference in your skin no matter what system you decide to use, but make sure you cleanse, tone and moisturize, and SPF! If you have acneic skin, Proactiv is great-give it a try. All skin types need routine facials to stay in tip top condition, and to get a more thorough cleaning. So seek out your local Esthetician, or give me a Call!

All of these products can be found at Sephora.com or Qvc.com

What is your Soul Purpose?

What is your Soul Purpose? My Soul Purpose (at least for the morning) is to start my day with Great skin from head to toe. I love when people say to me " You have really nice skin." Thank you-that is a great compliment, and I work hard for it. I like to try different products, as I am a beauty treatment "junkie", as long as they work. My recent love is Ghanaian Brown Sugar from Soul Purpose.

"Brown Sugah Babe, I get high off your love, I don't know how to behave"

--D'Angelo.

This scent is amazing. This is how I start my AM Step 1: Get up (that one is hard for me, so I needed to add it!) Step 2: Light my GBS candle. Step 3 get in shower with my GBS shower gel and mesh sponge, and exfoliate every part of me (not my face). This scent really wakes me up. And it could be used as shampoo, or bubble bath if you like. Step 4: GBS scrub! Yummmy!!! When you open this jar the smell excites you instantly. I turn down the shower stream, scoop out some scrub and rub it all over my body. It not only exfoliates, but it moisturizes as well, that's what I like Double Duty! I turn the shower back up, and rinse off any excess. I get out of the shower and I don't need to add anything else, except deodorant of course. I could throw on a sundress and be done, and not worry about the "ashies!" But I like to layer, so I add some GBS custard to my arms, legs and backside! I walk into my bedroom and the room smells awesome from the candle and me of course! I get dressed (what step am I on? I forget), and grab my GBS solid perfume and add some to my pulse points, and throw it in my purse, to take with me and add more throughout the day. The last step before I walk out the door to my J-O-B, I blow out the candle and add the soy wax to my cuticles, elbows and knees. That's right, it works as a candle, and a massage oil- What?!! Again multi-function! You can't walk by me without wanting to take a bite....chomp, chomp!! Delicious!!

That is only one experience that SP offers. There's also "waking up in the Caribbean" with Caribbean Ginger, Sitting poolside with a margarita with "Malaysian Mango", and out on the town with "Hollywood Fresh"-a unisex scent that is quickly topping my list! So if you want summer glowing, smooth, sexy skin-get to know Soul Purpose. I got to know them-I brought a business, that's right I have my own Soul Purpose business. This helps me share it with everyone, as well as buying at wholesale prices! So if you would like to experience SP, I would be happy to send you a sample or you can check out www.tiffanywhite.soulpurpose.net!! Check it out!!

Love Ya

Next up: What's that on your face?!

ARE YOU AND YOUR SKIN THE SAME AGE?

Does your skin have a sallow or dull appearance? Is it rough to the touch? Do you have fine lines, wrinkles or blemishes?


There are a lot of harmful agents that affect our skin. Including smoking, alcohol, spicy foods, our diets, and the environment and so on and so on. How we treat our skin is the best defense against all of these elements. Your basic weapons in this battle can be summarized by five basic steps. They are: cleanse, tone, moisturize, SPF and exfoliation. These steps will help your skin feel and look younger and glow like that of a baby's.
 We all need to cleanse our skin for AM and PM. We need to start our skin off with the best defenses in the morning, and at night we need to wash off all the dirt and toxins that we have collected during the day. A toner for our specific skin type helps to balance out the Ph (potential hydrogen) levels in our skin to help remove acidity. Even if you believe you have oily skin, you still need moisturizer. We all need to hydrate our skin, and moisturizers act as humectants which draw moisture to the skin. Do I need to say it???……SPF for everyone!! Just because you are black and beautiful doesn't mean the sun can not affect you. Even on the cloudiest days, the sun is still strong and can cause damage. The minimum SPF for your face should be 15…..everyday Ladies and Gentlemen!!!


Exfoliation is the key to the skin's smooth and silky feel…..exfoliation helps get rid of the dead skin cells that sit on our face, making it feel rough and look older than it is. We should exfoliate at least 2-3 times a week to help new skin cells resurface to give us that radiant GLOW!!


A special tip for you…any chance you have to get a professional facial…GO FOR IT!!! This is a "secret weapon" for your face. These professionals can see things that you may not notice. Some spas may be a little pricey, especially with this economy, but check out Esthetic schools. All the services are done by students with supervising teachers, and the prices are at least 75% off those Newbury Street spas. Some places to check out are, Catherine Hinds in Woburn, Elizabeth Grady in Malden and Bojack in West Roxbury.
