Neveen needs to know…I know a girl who wears exactly my same perfume (actually my body spray). You can tell she’s been there from how the place smells afterwards. So why doesn’t my perfume last long enough to be in my own room? Is there some sort of “way” to apply body spray or is [...]
Michelle’s concern…I’m freaked out about getting the piggy flu so I use a hand sanitizer like 10 times a day. Now my nails look like crap. Is there a connection? The Left Brain responds: Yes, Michelle, hand sanitizers are effective against germs but they can have a negative effect on your skin and nails. Sanitizer [...]
Jaune’s question…Is it possible that a skin product loses its efficacy after repetitive use or is it me? I have tried some soaps, scrubs and creams to help fight persistent acne scars on my face and other parts of my body. Some products worked wonders on my skin but after months of usage twice a [...]
Vananners is vexed…Why does shampoo lather better the second time? Especially with those ‘sulfate-free’ ones. The first time you shampoo it may not lather that well but when you follow up (right away) with a second shampooing the lather is crazy!

Karen is inquisitive…Can you kindly explain what makes Pureology shampoo feel so much different than anything else I’ve tried? I’m guessing it’s not the botanical infusion! The Right Brain responds: Good guess, Karen, the difference has nothing to do with green tea or sandalwood. It’s all about the cleansers and conditioners. Pureology ingredients Most shampoos [...]
Carla B. is curious…I got pierced last month and when I touch behind my ear it feels crusty and I want to know what to do about it. The Right Brain answers: Sounds like Carla has gotten a pierced-ear infection. This problem can be caused by contamination from unsterile piercing equipment or posts or even [...]
Indi-Curl wonders…I have just started a No-Poo hair care routine for my ultra-curly hair and I have a question about leave-in products that are compatible with the system. I know to avoid silicone, and I do, but I was wondering about products with Mineral oil in them. My favorite leave-in treatment contains Mineral oil. Is [...]
Elizabeth asks…Hi! I’m new to this site, but was impressed by the thorough analysis done on other products. My daughter is selling NYR Organic bodycare products and I was wondering if any here have tried it, and would be interested in hearing an analysis from the brains of the group! I’m not a hardcore organic [...]
Penelope’s pain…I just had my second go round of fake eyelashes applied at a salon. My eyelids swelled up and got really red in the crease of the upper lids. It was painful!
