Introducing the Masque Collection
After months of dreaming, blending, planning and perfecting, I could not be more pleased to introduce my two latest formulations—Restorative Radiance Masque and Purifying Luculent Masque. Concentrating a wealth of plants sacred to ancient medicine, these are some of the most opulently rich formulations we offer. Restorative Radiance Masque, with Lotus and Baobab, sparks cellular […]
Just Smile
Smiling—and laughing—are nature’s most healing beautifiers, as I always like to say. But the notion also goes deeper than the felt sense of enjoying a wide smile. On the neurological level, smiling is a natural mood lifter, one that releases the potent neurotransmitters and endorphins that buoy happiness and strengthen health. When our facial muscles—especially […]
Movement Motivation
That post-yoga glow, or the youthful radiance revealed by an early morning jog, is no illusion. Recent research has shown that exercise can actually reverse the effects of aging on skin. If you’re even a casual follower of this blog, you’ll know that I’m a big fan of any and all ways to boost circulation […]
Antioxidants—Pure Healing Energy
When I think about antioxidants, I think about generosity and a deep-rooted, natural healing energy that starts at the molecular level. In the simplest terms, cell damage is what ages us. Environmental stressors and pollutants produce free-radicals, which, in turn, poach electrons from our cellular structures, altering biological functions and causing disrepair. Antioxidants, however, are […]
Free & Clear
Just as you might enjoy the easy feeling of stepping into a room that’s tidy and clutter-free, energetic space-clearing invites a fresh, bright energy into the spaces where we work and live, and, ultimately, into our lives. For thousands of years, different forms of space-clearing, including the Chinese harmonic system feng shui, have been preformed […]
Collagen Boosting Super Foods
When we talk about a eating foods that best support skin health, prime among those choices are foods that the body needs in order to build and to maintain collagen. Collagen serves as skin’s substructure, found throughout all three layers of the dermis, giving skin strength, elasticity and resiliency. As we age, we produce less […]
There’s Nothing Sweeter
It is truly good news when indulgence, delight and good health all come into harmony! With Valentine’s Day right around the corner, we’re happy to report that English researchers have recently discovered that eating cacao—found in cocoa beans, and the key ingredient in chocolate—is beneficial to skin, boasting many anti-aging effects. Dark chocolate, like tea, […]
Caring for the Man in Your Life
A question I’m asked often is, which Tammy Fender formulations best serve men’s skin? In honor of Valentine’s Day—and sharing what you love—I’m happy to offer this protocol for holistically caring for the men’s skin. Of course, each person’s path to perfect balance is unique, but in general men’s skin is different from women’s skin […]
The Body Knows – The Gift of Intuition
What does the heart comprehend that the mind can’t fathom? Well, plenty! Intuition is one of our most powerful gifts, and when we tap into its potential it guides us like internal radar along a path that so beautifully improves overall wellbeing. While it can feel nearly impossible to find the time to reconnect with […]
An Extraordinary Element – Water
In holistic healing, we often talk about coming into balance, guiding the whole being into its most natural state. But whenever that notion starts to sound a little esoteric, I like to remember that, more than almost anything, our health relies on our most precious, and most basic, resource—water. The connection is so fundamental, so […]
Message in a Bottle: Discover your Signature Aroma
Sometimes we are so intensely drawn in by a scent, whether Rose, Lavender, Sandalwood, Neroli or fresh mint, that our delight in it is almost delirious. Don’t you love those moments? We feel that we simply can not get enough of that wonderful, transporting, heavenly aroma, inhaling it as deeply as we can and pulling […]
Facial Meditation
At Tammy Fender we often speak about the beauty that glows from within, and every one of our formulations is designed to help you achieve a natural radiance. But there is also a fundamental way that you can boost the healing and revealing process by devoting a small amount of time each day—even just several […]
