Online
shopping for women's apparel, everyday garments
and clothes, sports clothing, evening dresswear
and accessories has never been easier.. Improve
your image for the best by changing the way you
look. A good first impression is very important.
It determines how people perceive you and sets
the expectation as to what type of person you
are. Making a good first impression can get you
off to a good start, whether it’s with new coworkers,
your new boss, or new relationships. The image
you project influences the respect and attention
you receive from others. Your image or the impression
you make on other people can be broken down into
3 basic concepts. The impression you make on other
people is comprised of how you look, what you
wear, and how you conduct yourself. Neglecting
these 3 basic aspects of image can cause you to
loose important opportunities and rob you of your
full potential.

Taking Care of you:
One of the first things that people see and notice
is your face and indirectly, your skin. Second, is your
physical shape. Healthy looking skin and a healthy physique
makes you attractive. Exercise, eating well and getting
sufficient rest is key to having good skin tone and
a shapely body. Getting too much sun and exposure to
the elements can damage your skin. It takes time to
overcome skin damage caused by the sun. If you are not
already using skin protection, start doing so. Use sunscreen
lotions with an SPF of 15 for normal exposure or higher
if you are an outdoor enthusiast. Remember, you can
get sunburn on cloudy and rainy days too. The burn is
more subtle and you may not think you will burn, but
the sun’s rays do come through. For those in southern
climates this is a must. For those in northern climates,
the temperature is cooler and you will not notice the
effect of a sunburn until the damage is done.
Fortunately, there are
skin lotions you can purchase that help moisturize
and protect your skin while protecting you from
the damaging rays of the sun. We recommend online shopping the wide variety
of Natural Skin Care Products found at the
SkinStore. You will find products like skin
restorers, microdermabrasion scrubs and kits, moisturizers
and creams that will get your skin looking it’s
best. Some cosmetics offer varying degrees of a
sun protection too.
For your everyday cosmetic
needs see the CosmeticMall.
It offers a wide variety of cosmetics along with
products for sun care, bath & beauty, fashionable
accents, perfumes and appliances such as shavers,
trimmers, and hair dryers. Try their Virtual Makeover,
which helps you determine what colors and shades
are right for your skin type.
For products you find in Spa salons and are good
for your entire body along with bath accents,
be sure to visit DERMAdoctor.

care products including products from the Dead
Sea and many helpful bath products that will improve
