Ready To Kick Your “Shop Till You Drop Mentality” Into Full Gear? Over The Next 31 Days, You Can Help Save Lives And Raise $$ To Find A Cure For Breast Cancer…

This KTLA BCA Pic Was Taken In October 2016! I’ve been producing this segment with this awesome news station for the past 6 years. Yay!

LOS ANGELES, CA… Need a new lipstick? Or how about giving your pucker some peace for the next 24 hours? Is your skin constantly dry and nothing seems to work? And your hair flat yet you just curled it? Albeit, this crazy world has bigger fish to fry and problems to resolve, we realize this, yes! Yet, to someone with dry skin and/or flat hair nothing is more urgent. So as you stop and take moment to invest your beauty dollars in some wining solutions… for the next 31 days, IF you opt to purchase a niche group of brands, I’m recommending, not only will you look better BUT you’ll feel better too. The reason why? Well, these companies are donationing anywhere from 20% to 100%, of their profits towards a number of amazing breast cancer charities trying not only to locate a cure, but also make breast cancer patients and their families feel loved, supported and understood during this life altering journey of the body and soul. Below are 7 amazing brands I’m suggesting. I chose these 7 to get them on your awareness radars, plus give them a push and some social media love as each strives to reach their charitable goals. But this just scratches the surface of all the great, high quality beauty brands contributing and donating over the course of this month. So begin here, and then build upward and outward and google MORE!

4. iS CLINICAL (iS stands for Innovative Skincare)
BRAND: iS Clinical
PRODUCT: Poly Vitamin Serum DONATION: 100% of the proceeds in the month of October go towards NBCC (National Breast Cancer Coalition)
HOW WILL THIS PEEL BACK THE YEARS:
Poly Vitamin Serum is one of iS Clinical’s most regenerative, hydrating, and nourishing products for patients undergoing active cancer treatment in helping with side effects to the skin. Applying this serum daily, each evening, helps restore a “rosy glow” and obliterate dull, grey skin. Another bonus is it restores nourishment and hydration to any level of comprised skin AND if you are undergoing cancer treatment, it helps improve the appearance of side effects to the skin associated with radiation dermatitis
So the “win?” It reduces the appearance of increased aging that can come with cancer treatments and medications! This one’s also ideal for people not going through a cancer treatment, but still battling aging and need the best beauty weapons to address this. This iS Clinical serum is in my bathroom and I’ve been using it since I first researched the brand for this Breast Cancer Awareness report 5 years ago.
LET ME GIVE YOU ANOTHER REASON TO SUPPORT THIS BRAND:
iS does quarterly get togethers at hospitals like UCLA and shares free skincare products and the knowledge how to use them with cancer patients to help support and bolster their spirits and energy. Then every October they host spa days at certain hospitals and do all out pampering on patients. Wow! Love this brand!!!
