It’s amazing that we finally have the technology for an at-home laser hair remover.

TRIA Personal Laser Hair Removal System is the first FDA-cleared laser on the market for at-home laser hair removal. The TRIA uses the same technology as professional diode laser hair removal used by dermatologists. It’s completely safe and effective for anyone with light to medium skin tones and dark hair.

I was lucky enough to get my very own TRIA and just started using it. It’s very easy to use. When applied to the skin, the TRIA emits a single laser pulse, targeting multiple hair follicles in half-second intervals, when it’s time to move on to the next treatment area, the TRIA gives off a beep. It was a lot less painful than the laser hair removal I have experienced before, and I enjoy being able to do it myself in the privacy of my own home.

It’s recommended that you do a TRIA treatment once ever 4-weeks, and six to eight treatments per area will be needed for lasting hair removal.

I will keep everyone up-to-date on my progress! I’m really excited to be hair-free once and for all.

TRIA retails for $995 and can be purchased at Bergdorf Goodman (NYC), Fred Segal (Santa Monica, CA.), select Bliss Spas and Physicians’ offices or online at www.triabeauty.com.

Another one of my favorite brands goes green! Samy has jumped aboard the eco conscious band wagon, launching a complete line of 100% vegan, natural and organic shampoos, conditioners and styling products.

Most shampoos contain sulfates, parabens and phtalatates that strip away the natural balance of oil, protective layers and fade color quickly. ĕ∙sen∙cia by Samy is specially formulated with certified organic ingredients that will leave your hair shiny, bouncy and beautiful!

I’ve actually been a fan of Samy for a long time. There have been times when I’ve run out of a certain product on set, and in a pinch I can run to CVS and have confidence in buying hair products by Samy. Best of all, Samy’s line is a fraction of the price of most large name salon brands, so when you buy anything from Samy you can feel good about being economically smart and that is so chic!
