Happy Birthday to Me!

For all the Baby Boomers born in 1950, Happy Birthday! Yesterday was my 60th "B" Day. That number is pretty daunting and exciting all at the same time. Experience is the greatest teacher. For example, I'm sure you've noticed that Mid Century (as its called) interior design is the rage. We've been here since Mid-Century and have not only seen it but lived it. From the first time around of the mini skit to bell bottoms. We can pull from the best of what was and improve on it. When the baby boomer started turning 40 in the late 80's- early 90's skin care R&D really started to ramp up. It's supply and demand. I have been in the fashion/beauty industries all of my career and have lived the evolution-revolution first hand. My early career was in the Fashion Merchandising world first at Lord & Taylor then Bloomingdales. I worked with Biba Cosmetics from London that Bloomingdales took on in the early 70's. I was trained by there make-up artists. At that point is when I said someday I'm going to create my own line of skin care-cosmetics. Bloomingdales did something not done before and put the Biba Cosmetic counter in the Junior Department. The Baby Boomer were in their 20's at that time and were driving this. Creative, unique marketing was off and running. Back to the Baby Boomer. We have been the pulse of large cosmetic companies ever since. As I said earlier in the late 80's as the Baby Boomer was now turning 40 (middle age) we were looking for products that made a difference. Anti-Aging R&D was was born. Creating ingredients that really did something to the skin. That really made a difference. Alpha Hydroxy Fruit Acids were put into skin care products and exfoliation is now a known concept to maintaining the health of the skin. In 1992 I launched Glycolique a pioneer in Result Oriented Skin Care. A term I started using back in the 90's. to me its not Anti but being the best we can be both inside and out. Happy Birthday to all!!
