  • Spring Beauty and Wellness Trends on Daytime Chicago

    Spring Beauty and Wellness Trends on Daytime Chicago

    Today on Daytime Chicago we chatted all about some of the new and recycled trends we are seeing everywhere from lashes to lunchtime.

    Heavy lash extensions are no longer in vogue. Defined, natural lashes are the new eye accessory. The less, the better for Springs’s new naked and icy looks.

    Eylure London Lash & Brow Enhancing Serum
    PRICE: $35.00
    SHOP: @Ulta 
    • A revolutionary new formula to promote fuller, healthier brows and lashes to give you the perfect no-makeup-makeup look with consumer-proven results that can be seen in just two weeks (with full results after eight weeks)
    • With powerful ingredients such as peptide and biotin, this serum works hard to provide deep nourishment and conditioning to your lashes and brows.
    • 96% saw longer, fuller-looking lashes and brows. 93% saw healthier-looking lashes and brows.

    NO MAKEUP LOOK: Naked Skin
    The reason why these masks are #1 in Korea and a sellout in the US is that people swear it turns dull, blotchy skin into a radiant glow in just 10 minutes. 

    Mediheal Essentials Collection
    PRICE: $2-$20
    SHOP: @Amazon & MedihealUS.com
    Korea’s #1 selling sheet-mask brand, Mediheal, upgraded its best-selling masks with the launch of its Essential Sheet Mask Collection. Each mask is infused with a triple dose of active ingredients for results you can instantly see and feel. They deliver multiple skin benefits from moisturizing & calming to brightening and firming, giving you a beautiful naked skin look in just 10 minutes. You can purchase a single mask or multi-pack for prices ranging from $2 to $20 on MedihealUS.com or Amazon.

    We are seeing more and more in-office treatments being available for at-home use in 2023. This new device by Silk’n repairs collagen and elastin fibers from the inside out.

    SILK’N ALLWAYS TITAN
    PRICE: $339.99
    SHOP: @Nordstrom.com
    This anti-aging device reduces wrinkles and crow’s feet, restores collagen and elastin fibers, and lifts facial contours without surgery, to be used on all areas of the face and neck.
    Revolutionary technology repairs collagen and elastin fibers from the inside out. Titan technology delivers energy to precise areas beneath the skin to activate your body’s natural restoration process. It also targets superficial sun and age spots. No recovery time is needed. 
    Titan AllWays harmonizes the benefits of three sources of energy—Bi-Polar RF energy, LED light energy, and IR heat energy. This powerful combination creates a safe, painless, and proven result, penetrating the skin to seek out damaged tissue and repair it. The warmth given off by the device stimulates the skin’s renewing properties. The collagen and elastin fibers contract and the skin repairs itself from the inside. From the outside, the skin looks younger and is noticeably tighter.

    The clean-living trend is bigger and has more options this spring. I’m obsessed with these plant-based yogurts that even my kid likes. Plus, they are Certified Free From the Top 9 Allergens and at your local Jewel Osco. 

    Wayfare
    PRICE: $2.99
    SHOP: @wayfarefoods.com 
    If you haven’t yet heard about the Plant Based brand WayFare’s delicious dairy-free products, now is your chance to run out to your local Jewel-Osco store to purchase their new line of yogurts.  Jewel supermarkets in the Chicagoland area now have WayFare’s 4.8 oz. cups of yogurts on its store shelves. The yogurts are Certified Free From™ the Top 9 Allergens and include whole food ingredients, such as butter beans, oats, and pumpkin seeds. Check out WayFare’s full line of dairy-free products, including butter, cream cheese, sour cream, cheese spreads, and pudding, at WayFareFoods.com.

    And our final wellness trend for 2023 is zero-proof spirits! THEY ARE EVERYWHERE, and they’ve started to get a bit tastier! I brought a few here to try out. 

    Ritual Whisky Alternative
    PRICE: $26.99

    Clean Beauty on Daytime Chicago


    It seems like so many beauty brands are going clean, but what does that even mean? And what really works? Our friend We are back on Daytime Chicago to showcase some of the brands that are making strides to keep the nasties out of our beauty routine! 

    Let’s start with the OG of clean cosmetics. Before it was ever called clean, you’d hear about mineral or naturally derived. Youngblood has been around as an industry leader in mineral beauty for more than 25 years.

  • Feel Like You’re Aging Fast Living on The Suncoast?

    Feel Like You’re Aging Fast Living on The Suncoast?

    Let’s face it, the mirror can be cruel at times. Frown lines, lax skin, and age spots are common complaints as we age in Florida. Lots of products and treatment offer results, but what really works? We visit our friends at Suncoast View to show what is trending in the beauty world and why these specific tools actually work! 

    No one can really hide from frown lines after their 20s. If you’re looking for a non-invasive way or would rather avoid or prolong the injectables, Environ has figured out a 3-pronged, intelligent way to smooth and inhibit those pesky lines with this coveted Serum. 

    Environ Peptide Enriched Frown Serum
    PRICE: $187
    SHOP: @Skincare Couture SRQ
    • A unique combination of three wrinkle-fighting peptides that help to prevent the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles as well as “crows feet” and expression lines, especially in the forehead area.• Leaves tired-looking skin more refreshed and relaxed. 
    • Targets the same chemical complexes and wrinkle formation mechanisms as injectables, in a milder, non-invasive way
    • Use morning and evening.

    Lax skin? Chances are you’d love the angles and lifted jawline and forehead of your youth. We’ve seen everything from a facelift to threading offering the sweep of skin into tautness. Now, we have Sofwave and no cutting or pulling is necessary. 

    SOFWAVE 
    @ Dr. Weinkle
    Sofwave™  is an in-office, non-invasive treatment that remodels collagen and improves facial lines and wrinkles with SUPERB™ Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam Technology.
    It works on ALL skin tones!
    Sofwave™ is FDA cleared to:
    ·      lift the eyebrow
    ·      lift the lax skin under the chin
    ·      lift the neck tissue
    ·      reduce fine lines and wrinkles
    ·      reduce the appearance of cellulite
    Safe, fast, and effective for building collagen and elastin in the skin. As we age, collagen begins to diminish starting in our 20’s. Sofwave’s SUPERB Technology heats collagen at the right temperature triggering a healing response that increases both collagen and elastin in the skin which is necessary for younger-looking skin.
    When Do Results Begin To Appear?
    After one 30-45 minute treatment, patients show significant improvement in 12 weeks.
