The Best of the Beauty Blogs: Week of May 28
Ahhh, yes, back by popular demand: my favorite posts of the week! 
Why rose water is good for your skin
I personally have always loved rose water; in fact, my first big department store purchase was a now-discontinued moisturizer with rose water as the main ingredient. And now one of my favorite derms, Dr. Leslie Baumann, verifies rose water’s goodness in an awesome post! Rose water is now available in Jurlique Rosewater Balancing Mist ($31.00, Amazon.com).

Need Inspiration to Wear Sunscreen?
The ever-popular Nadine Haobsh AKA Jolie blog features pictures of her pretty self with UV imaging…we all have sun damage, so I’m definitely not singling her out, but when you see her perfect-looking skin with UV imaging, it really serves as a great reminder that we all need to wear sunscreen every single day.

I’d be interested in seeing the UV damage of my own skin… Where are such procedures normally available?

It’s good to know that rose water actually does something good for me other than making me happy!
On the note of sunscreen- I was wondering if you had a recommendation for something of a higher ppd (Neutrogena Ultra sheer Dry-Touch Sunblock, spf85 that you sometimes mention has ppd of 7.5). Thanks!

Thanks for the link to the article on Laser Hair Removal. I have terribly sensative skin and have been considering laser removal. After reading, I’m not sure if I’m a great candidate though.

Hm, the PPD I once reported was actually for the Neutrogena Ultra Sheer SPF 70, not SPF 85. I honestly don’t know the PPD for SPF 85, but it is higher than 7.5. How much higher, it remains to be seen…

I have been using DHC’s Rosewater Spray for several months. I love the way it gives me a “refreshed” look.

love all the links. the UV imaging thing kind of freaks me out- I am curious to see what I look like but so afraid of the damage I have already done- ahh!

I like the links. In fact, I now read The Skin Guru and The Derm Blog in my Yahoo page. Yes, I also wear sunscreen whenever I go out.
