Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels & guest Dr. Linda Miles discuss the following:What are the most common problem skin issues?What natural ingredients can help?  And, how do they help?What is the definition of natural skincare?What would you recommend for the listener that has dry itchy skin?What are some other lifestyle tips that can help?Duration: 6:09Dr. Linda Miles, DOM, Vice President and Formulator of derma e®, has blended her expertise in complementary health care and biotechnology for over three decades, pioneering the development of innovative, high-performance natural personal care products.
As a health practitioner and business leader in the industry, Miles has been at the forefront of the cultural shift to natural health solutions. “People still ask me what the benefit of using natural products is, and I always respond that ‘nature knows best’,” Miles says. “The power of nature is pretty amazing, and we often can’t re-create that complexity and balance in a lab by using just synthetic ingredients. Nature provides us with healing agents that are superior in performance to chemical alternatives—antioxidants are our best example of that. Many people were under the misconception that ‘natural’ means a product is not as strong. We’re changing that ideology and have proven time and again, via scientific channels, that natural can be even more effective than man-made.”

Your diet can effect your skin tone and eyelashes with Isabell Daniel

Isabell Daniel a licensed Esthetician, eyelash extensionist and Founder of Kalliste Clean Beauty Inc. that was created to give you an opportunity to receive customized services that suits your lifestyle and skins needs with the ultimate goal to enhance your natural beauty joins eHealth Radio and the Skin Care Channel.

Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels & guest Isabell Daniel discuss the following:
Why do some people have beautiful even toned skin and others have awful skin?
Can my diet effect my skin tone and eyelashes? What foods can I eat to help my skin and lashes?
What is the advantage and or disadvantage of using organic natural skincare products opposed to non natural products?
A lot of people don't want to get facials or peels because they are afraid it will make them break out. Why would this occur and how can we prevent this from happening?
Eyelash extensions ----why are they becoming so popular? Why are there so many mixed opinions about them?
How long do they last?
Are extensions an anti-aging tool?


What prompted a successful, Licensed financial marketing assistant in New York City to pack it all in, move to Chicago, and pursue a career as a Licensed esthetician whose specialty is eyelash extensions?
“I’ve been obsessed with eyes and eyebrows and eyelashes since I was thirteen,” says Isabell Daniel, 31.  Daniel was born with a Frida Khalo-like unibrow that, as she tells it, stopped a 12-year-old-would-be crush in his tracks.  “It made me self-conscious and sad.”
Since then, Daniel has pursued a passion for skin care, make-up, and, yes, eyebrows and eyelashes.  She worked in a series of salons and spas to learn her trade, did make-up for more weddings than she cares to remember, and honed her skills even when she worked fulltime in financial marketing.
Once relocated in Chicago, Daniel, went back to school to become a licensed Esthetician. She held a variety of jobs during the day and interned in spas at nights and weekends for over 3 years .
Daniel says, "a guitarist doesn't start out playing the guitar and getting paid immediately to perform live shows, but through great practice and dedication eventually they will get to perform live shows and feel satisfaction, and gratitude doing so."
Daniel, was getting burnt out, working seven days a week three different jobs which were unfulfilling in all areas, plus one internship, still unable to make ends meet.  She was feeling trapped and hopeless. One day she woke up with a new idea. She decided to sell her high end corporate clothing to a second hand store and use the money to  incorporate Soul Marketing/Soul Beauty which morphed into Kalliste Clean Beauty once she was able to garner a steady clientele.
Daniel, started out riding her bike to peoples homes or treating them in her kitchen. Today, Daniel has two locations she is currently working out of wicker park and Lincoln Park. “Eyes are the window to the soul,” Daniel affirms.  “I can make my clients feel better about themselves, more confident, more feminine.  That gives me great joy and a sense of purpose."

The importance of exfoliation with Kirsten Corcoran of Larenim

Kirsten Corcoran, Founder and Director of Larenim Cosmetics and Skin Care Company who has 29 professional years in the Natural Products Industry, 26 year owner of a retail natural products store joins eHealth Radio & the Skin Care Channel.
Listen to interview [audio player below] with host Eric Michaels & guest Kirsten Corcoran discuss the following:
Larenim originally was solely a makeup company. What are some of the more recent products that Larenim has introduced?
How do you choose what products to bring to market?
How do you conceptualize the products you develop?
What are some of the key aspects that makes Larenim products outstanding or otherwise different than other skin care products on the market?
What do you think would surprise skin care consumers the most about your role in the development of Larenim products?


Kirsten Corcoran has worked 28 years in the Natural Product’s Industry, 22 of them as an owner of a health food and supplement store and before that as a sale’s clerk in various health food stores around Columbus, Ohio. In addition to running her store, she was busy raising 5 children. As a busy mother and entrepreneur (and a vain one at that!), she found herself struggling day to day because of the variety of skin care issues she was faced with. She was a woman who in effort to be the best that she can be, ate meticulously, took supplements but just hadn’t been able to maintain a clear complexion or find a cosmetic line that suited her healthy lifestyle.
Since she was 13, she has experienced chronic acne, and she's had rosacea since turning 30. Being a typical self-conscious teenage girl, she looked to the cosmetic industry to help conceal her troubled complexion. To her disappointment, she found that although everything she tried would cover her breakouts, by the end of the day they would be worse.
By the time she reached her twenties, she noticed her pores had expanded, so she decided to use more talc based powder to cover them. When she entered her thirties, and she was in the 90's and the cosmetic industry had made advances... or so she thought. She tried makeup promising to be non-acnegenic and suitable for sensitive skin. However, the breakouts continued. Could prominent cosmetic companies be deceptive in their marketing? 

Her breakthrough finally came after a week with the flu, using no makeup, and finding her complexion clearer than ever. She began questioning the marketing of the cosmetic industry. 

She researched makeup and ingredients, and found that talc, which is the basis of most makeup, expands the pore wall and is similar to asbestos in structure. Kirsten found that "oil free" is designed to appeal to the trusting majority who don't understand that some of the man made oil substitutes are even worse. 

She learned there's an alternative. Mineral makeup. For Kirsten, mineral makeup was the "holy grail" she had been searching for since she was 13. 

That's when she founded her company, Larenim (mineral spelled backward!)
Kirsten founded Larenim in 2004 and put to market one of the purest and most aesthetically pleasing cosmetics lines available. Right of the starting gate Larenim grew at incredible rate, finding placement in nearly 1000 natural product stores in the US, Canada, UK, Germany and Hong Kong within 2 years.
She sold Larenim in December 2006 to one of the largest and most reputable companies in the Natural Product’s Industry but stayed on as the Product Manager. "I continue to oversee the development of the products and act as spokeswoman for Larenim. I also enjoy life raising my 5 teens, running my health food and supplement store and having beautiful, healthy skin", says Kirsten.
