A Juni Kind of Hair Day...

As I travel throughout the world talking with people about XanGo’s green products I am frequently asked how I use the XanGo products. I thought I’d share my hair and scalp routine useing the Juni shampoo and conditioner. I follow this routine every 3 to 4 days. (This is my regimen for thick, long, blond, color-treated hair).

This scale is used by dermatologists and some aestheticians to determine what an appropriate treatment would be for an individual, from lasers to facial peeling. We will use it to help...

What’s My Skin Type…? (Part 1)...

In the time since we launched Glimpse Skin Care there is one question that I hear (or read) from you more than any other—“What type of skin do you think I have?” I thought I would take a moment now to share my thoughts on “skin typing.” You may have heard me mention on occasion that the skin is a dynamic organ, and it is lucky for us that it is.
