Claire Danes and the secret to her red carpet glowing skin: Talking Makeup and Marta Walsh has just found out that celebrity makeup artist Matin prepped Emmy-award winner Claire Danes with Orlane’s Refining Arm Cream and Active Hydration Body Care for the 2010 Emmys.

Refining Arm Cream ($85.00) contains natural targeted ingredients selected to effectively fight against sagging skin so arms regain a toned, defined, and firm appearance.

Organic Skincare, Natural Skincare. Here’s Marta Walsh’s take on Organic Skincare or Natural Skincare. I’m very picky when comes to the latest trend in the beauty market and the magic word: ‘Organic’. Just because a product says it’s organic does not make it a good product. Often time some organic products are greasy with all their natural oils, smell too ylang ylang or a strong lavender and are off putting to me. Quite frankly, some of them don’t seem to work in cleaning my face or keeping my face super hydrated. Only select few get it right. The 1st brand that comes to mind is NUDE Skincare founded by Bryan Meehan which is a brilliant organic skincare line that actually works for me. I also like REN skincare, also a British import. In the USA I love ARCONA Los Angeles skincare line.

My latest discovery is Intelligent Nutrients Certified Organic and these three products smell amazing and are not greasy! I haven’t tried the rest of the line, but these 3 are good. L to R: Certified Organic Hand Purifier, Certified Organic Hand Sanitizer, and Certified Organic 100% Pure Jasmine Absolute. The brand was founded by Horst M. Rechelbacher.

I’m a Madonna fan and admire her incredible never ending youthful spirit and energy. However, aging catches up with the best of us and her hands are showing their true age. How to deal with aging hands? Well, one option is to wear gloves like Madonna did here in her concert. Dermatologist to the Stars, Dr. Lawrence Moy, who performs cutting-edge Anti-Aging Treatments for the Hands explains!

As women age, they lose fat in their hands. The tendons on the back of the hands are more visible. Years of sun exposure reveal themselves as brown spots and discoloration. Finally, loss of collagen results in less resilience, fine lines and wrinkles. With anti-aging products/treatments for the hands getting a lot of attention in the health/beauty industry today, Dr. Moy weighs in with his popular 3-pronged approach to successfully treat aging hands:

1. Skin Lighteners-Moy suggests a product from his own line of skin formulations featuring Kojic Acid and Salicylic Acid – both effective skin lightening agents with no side effects (Brighten Up). A sunblock must be used during the day to prevent further sun damage from occuring. Moy recommends a UVA/UVB product such as Neutrogena’s Norwegian Formula Age Shield Hand Cream, SPF 30.
