Beauty Alert: That Shiny Lip Gloss Could Cause Cancer

Category: Mom Beauty

Clinique’s Long Lasting GlosswearEco Lips

Color me bummed! A story on msnbc.com last week reported that some dermatologists believe that wearing lip gloss can increase your risk of developing skin cancer by allowing damaging rays to penetrate the lips. The story says about 3,500 new cases of skin cancer of the lips are diagnosed each year and more bad news, skin cancer can be more aggressive on the lips than on other parts of the skin. Or you could end up not with cancer, but with a scaly patch of skin and “a wart-like bump” if left untreated.

The dermatologist in the story blames, of all things, “the moisture in lip gloss.” The shinier the gloss, the worse it can get. The only good news is that “no studies have confirmed the lip gloss-skin cancer link.”

I’m a lip gloss junkie and because I live in Florida, I can’t carry around lipsticks in my purse or car because they melt. So what’s a girl to do? The experts recommend you switch to a lip gloss with SPF
15. There aren’t too many out there, but I like Clinique’s Long Lasting Glosswearicon ($14) available in plenty of pretty summer shades.

Doctors say the next best thing is to protect your lips by applying SPF 30 lip balm under your gloss. For just $$1.69 a tube, you can stock up on Eco Lips with SPF 30, organic vegetable oil, beeswax and herbs, and you won’t have to toss your gloss. 

Tip: Read our Gentle Skincare Guide for the best skincare products for new moms and babies.

One of these summer sandals for toddlers is on sale for $37.90 with free shipping, which is a pretty good deal.  But the other one is just $17.99 and it’s not even on sale.  Both of these shoes feature handy Velcro snaps and mesh uppers that make them great for the beach.  Can you spot the deal?

Mom Find: Get Hip To Wearing Your Baby

Category: Children Baby Carriers

ScootababyWhat: Scootababy Baby Carrier

Why: You want sturdy, comfortable, hands-free baby wearing?  You got it.  The Scootababy is the perfect solution for toting your tot.  This carrier is constructed similarly to a front pack, but is ergonomically designed to position baby over your hip.  Baby is right where I could carry her in my arms, yet her weight is supported both at my waist and shoulder and my hands are free.  The adjustable belt is well-padded and the shoulder is made of soft fleece.  The deep seat provides stability for baby so she can look at you or the world around her. 

I’ve been wearing my six-month old in the Scootababy for our evening walks and am thrilled with the ease and comfort.  She seems so natural on my hip and I feel no strain.  Scootababy is adjustable at the front, back and waist, making it suitable for most body types.  Daddy even wore our infant for one of the walks. 

Price: $107

Beauty Find: The Hair Brush for Styling, Smoothing and Sharing

Category: Mom Beauty

Ionic Paddle Brush from The Big Brush Company

What: Ionic Paddle Brush from The Big Brush Company

Why: You don’t have to have big hair to appreciate a big new brush, especially this one. You need this brush for several reasons, but its incorpation of a nano-silver coating (renowned for its anti-microbial properties) makes it one of a kind. According to the company, “Tests show that nano-silver kills 99.9% of bacteria, virtually eliminating cross-contamination and infection. You no longer need worry which of your friends or family use this brush.”

This cool brush is also heat-resistant, anti-static, ionic (to reduce drying time) and ceramic for durability. If you have been looking for a brush that will hold up for a long time and truly has an impact on how your hair looks every time you use it - this is it. Worth the money, hands down. 

Price: $46
