One for the Boys: New Green Product Line by Zirh
Zirh is going green, with a new product range called Zirh Natural.
The men's grooming range, which is set to launch exclusively at Sephora in March, is a line of eight items the company claims are free of parabens, sulfates, pthalates, petrochemicals, fragrances and synthetic dyes.
The lack of these ingredients, according to Brian Robinson, president of Zirh Holdings LLC, gives the line its natural positioning, and the idea is to bolster the green product segment in the men's prestige marketplace - especially at the LVMH Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton-owned retailer.

De-stress, Your Skin Will Thank You
Last week I received an email from Annie S. She's under a lot of pressure at work and, with the holidays approaching was curious what, if any, affect stress has on our skin. Well, Annie, there's good news and some not-so-good news:
Whether you're stressed about the holidays, your finances, your job, a family member's health, or tricky homework, stress has a sneaky way of showing up on your face and skin. Think of it as your body's way of communicating what's going on inside to the outside world. There's even a name for it: psychodermatology.
