WBAL Television Interview: Amie Decker Beauty Expert

I had the pleasure of being the “Beauty Expert” guest on WBAL yesterday morning for a Medical Alert about protecting ourselves from sun damage and preventing skin cancer.  Here is the segment that aired yesterday morning before most of you were even awake, lol.  I have included information and links about all of the products I mentioned below.  Special thanks to Stephanie Smith for my always perfect organic airbrush tan and Ginger Santoni for my super cute Jamberry nails!

Amarte Ultra Veil

This incredibly light facial sunscreen fluid delivers Broad Spectrum UVA/UVB SPF 50+ protection, creating a physical photo-protective veil to shield skin exposed to sunlight. Ginkgo biloba nut extract and five other botanical plant extracts  – mesima mushroom, rooibos, tormentil root, skullcap and wild thyme – protect and condition skin while offering antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties that help promote positive collagen and elastin balance. Caviar extract delivers a surge of unsaturated fatty acids, vitamins, minerals and amino acids and finely processed pure mica imparts an elegant, glowing finish to treated skin. The sophisticated and mild formulation is dermatologist tested with proven effectiveness on all skin types, including sensitive skin

Jane Iredale Lip Drink

This creamy balm is like a quenching drink of water for your lips! Made with carrot seed oil to smooth, soften and soothe, avocado oil to protect and moisturize, coffee seed, blackberry and green tea leaf extracts for antioxidant benefits and lemon peel oil for a delicious fresh taste. It provides Broad spectrum SPF 15 and UVA P++ protection and is recommended by The Skin Cancer Foundation as an effective daily sunscreen. Most importantly, it contains no petroleum-derived products that dry out the lips. People who are regular users of petroleum-based lip balms are on a continual drying cycle – the more they use, the drier their lips become.
