There’s nothing worse than finding that product that you thought would make all your hair woes disappear and then, after trying it for a few months, realizing that it didn’t actually do much for you at all. See more about hair problems in this link …
I’m 71 years old and have always taken great care of my skin. Cleansing, Toning, Exfoliating, and Moisturizing have been a part of my skincare routine for decades! I’ve tried hundreds of different beauty and skincare products over the years. Some I’ve liked and others …
The CHI Air Setter is 2 tools in one, combining both a flat iron and curler! The star feature of this tool is CHI’s Cool Air Technology™. Simply press the button to turn this on and cool air will consistently blow through the tool to set in your desired look. This Cool Air feature makes it easy to set curls immediately after styling for a professional salon style with long-lasting results!

I have long, thick, and curly hair. I take great care of my hair using professional hair care products and styling tools. It takes me a minimum of 30 minutes every day to just do my hair, so I’m always looking for innovative products to help cut down the time it takes to get ready. That’s why I was excited to give the CHI Air Setter a try.
For the purpose of this review I took photographs of my 71 year old grandmother using the CHI Air Setter 2-in-1 Flat Iron and Curler in her hair. She has shoulder length hair that is thin and coarse in texture. Nice to try the setter out in 2 different type’s of hair.
CHI Air Setter Features:
– LED Pro-Set Temp. Settings
– Floating Plates for Better Grip
– Dual Voltage for Convenient Travel
– Cool Air Technology for Long-Lasting Results
– 5 Preset Temperatures Ranging from 250 degrees F to 410 degrees F.
– 1 Hour Auto Shut-Off for Safety
– 2 Year Limited Warranty
The box has full instructions and color photographs to teach you how to use the CHI Air Setter to get silky straight hair and how to use it to get bouncy spiral curls. Each is achieved in only 3 easy steps. Nothing complicated, so anyone can use it and get professional-looking results at home.
This is the BEST flat iron/curler that I’ve ever used! It’s nice that I don’t have to own 2 different hair appliances and when I travel…I only have to take one along with me! One of the things I really like about it is that my hair doesn’t get snagged inside it. It glides right through. Next, I like that I can use lower heat on my hair which means less damage. There are 5 preset temperatures for you to choose from.
If you have problems with your hands or smaller hands…don’t worry, you can use it too! I’m petite with very small hands and it fits comfortably in my hands. As you can see in the photographs my 71 year old grandmother with arthrytis in her hands was able to use it too. My 13 year old daughter used it (with my help) to add spiral curls to her hair last week. I recommend you assist your young teens with it.
Finally, I really appreciate the 1 hour auto shutoff. I’m a busy mom to 2 children and at 6:00 AM my morning is mad rush! I have 2 kids to get ready for school, a family of 4 to feed and get out of the door, plus I have to get into work. It’s nice to know that if I forget to turn it off…it will automatically turn itself off an hour later. Wonderful safety feature!

It’s never too late to take care of your skin or start a new skincare routine. I’ve noticed that my skin gets a little blotchy and dry, especially in the colder winter months, so I’ve needed to change things up a bit. I was recently …
I’m always interested in the next big thing when it comes to skincare and I recently was got a preview of coming attractions—Tranexamic Acid. This skincare ingredient is proving to be incredibly effective for minimizing hyperpigmentation, which is caused by an increase in melanin, the substance in the body that is responsible for color (pigment). The A Method Skin Perfecting Serum is a new product from The A Method that was created to minimize those unwanted dark spots and hyperpigmentation.

Whether you are experiencing hyperpigmentation due to a health condition or simply have “age spots” that are the result of sun exposure, The A Method Skin Perfecting Serum can help brighten the skin and even out skin tone.
Created by celebrity dermatologist, Dr. Tina Alster, The A Method Skin Perfecting Serum is formulated with a 10% Tranexamic Acid complex plus five other pigment correcting, skin brightening ingredients. This serum will help to tighten, improve texture, tone and reduce the appearance of enlarged pores. Skin Perfecting Serum also helps stimulate natural collagen production. According Dr. Alster, “Tranexamic Acid is a powerhouse skin lightening ingredient that is as effective as Hydroquinone but has a much better safety profile. It evens out skin tone with little to no irritation or peeling and plays well with other active ingredients such as Vitamin C and retinol.”
Studies have revealed that Tranexamic Acid slows down the production of melanin and can even block the transfer of pigment from melanocytes to keratinocytes. For anyone that is facing uneven, blotchy skin, this product is a game changer. Tranexamic Acid provides an optimal environment for healthy skin to fight off free radical damage and other stressors—pesky culprits that often may cause additional pigmentation.
This product is suitable for all skin types and can be used during pregnancy. It is recommended to use the serum twice daily—and while it’s ideal for the face, it can also be used on other body areas underneath a moisturizer. It feels light on the skin and absorbs quickly. I’ve been using on some discolored areas on my hands and it seems be lightening up those troublesome spots.
In addition to the star of the show—Tranexamic Acid—The A Method Skin Perfecting Serum contains several other key ingredients:
* Trichloroacetic Acid
* Phytic Acid
* Glycolic Acid
* Salicylic Acid
* Gluconolactone
The serum is also paraben-free, dermatologist tested, non-comedogenic, cruelty-free, fragrance-free, gluten-free and vegan. For maximum results, apply after cleansing twice daily (morning and night). Then, follow with your favorite moisturizer. This serum actually helps to increase the effectiveness and absorption of your usual regimen products.
The A Method Skin Perfecting Serum is available on the company’s website. For more information on The A Method, follow the company on Facebook and Instagram.
