ROCKSTAR White was founded in 2007 by a periodontist, Dr. Dennis Hunt. He did not initially set out to create a whitening product but an antimicrobial agent for his patients that would not stain teeth like most others do. "There is a definite disadvantage for treating patients with products that stain the teeth. Patients end up not liking the looks of their teeth and get disappointed,” says Dr. Hunt.

What Dr. Hunt searched for was a strong antimicrobial gel that would be safe enough to use daily and not stain teeth brown. Dr. Hunt began to experiment with hydrogen peroxide. Our bodies use hydrogen peroxide to kill bacteria and other microbes. Hydrogen peroxide is released by neutrophils when neutrophils come in contact with microbes (germs). The use of hydrogen peroxide would mimic the bodies own natural defense system and even whiten the teeth.

Dr. Hunt developed a carbamide peroxide solution that was made safe for extended use for the gums and teeth with desensitizers. The results showed the product to be a great adjunct to soft tissue management programs and post surgical wound healing. Patients loved the results. There was no more staining of the gums and teeth.

What later followed was a response from general dentist complaints about teeth-whitening products. The products hurt patient’s teeth. The pain made patients wonder if whiter teeth were worth the discomfort. This was a real set back to patient trust for the dental offices and many dental offices stopped offering whitening services and products. This set another goal for Dr. Hunt to create a product to help whiten teeth without pain. With his use of desensitizers he was able to create a formula with a very high concentration of hydrogen peroxide to provide the quickest whitening results provided at the retail level.

ROCKSTAR White “Be Kissable” - The pink box was designed to represent and donate a percentage of the sales profits to Breast Cancer Research.

ROCKSTAR White “High Energy” - In black packaging with a spearmint flavor.

Both the “Be Kissable” & the “High Energy” formulas are natural, safe for teeth and gums and are made in USA. Ingredients are all natural, kosher and NOT tested on animals. Rockstar White uses tried and true dental products with long safety records.

Application instructions:

Step 1 - Brush and Floss your Teeth lightly, be careful not to abrade the gum tissues. Caution do not rinse with any mouth wash.

Step 2 - Bite into the impression material to create a tooth impression. Wiggle the teeth back-and-forth once the teeth are centered within the impression material. This wiggling will create space for the whitening gel. Note that there is an upper, larger side, and a lower, shorter side, to the dual arch tray.

Step 3 - Place a thin layer of the whitening gel into the mold; Do not to overload the tray. Do not let the gel come into contact with gums. Wipe off any excess with a Q-Tip.

Step 4 - Apply vitamen E Q-tip on your gums.

Step 5 Place the tray into your mouth for at least 30 minutes to 1hour. Do not eat or drink for 1 hour after whitening.

Step 6 - Follow the whitening process if you have tooth sensitivity use Gel Kam; you can place Gel-Kam in the tray or brush directly onto the teeth then let set for 3 minutes at the end of the 3 minutes spit out the excess material but do not rinse out the material.

Step 7 - Repeat process daily; discontinue the bleaching gel if sensitivity occurs; if tooth sensitivity occurs do continue the Remineralization gel or Gel Kam twice daily until the sensitivity is gone.

ROCKSTAR teeth whitening offers the strongest teethwhitening at home on the market. This allows results that will WOW you within several sessions instead of weeks like other brands. Desensitizers, without the use of fluoride, are used to keep your gums and teeth safe and out of pain - delivering "the WOW without the OW™".

No whitening strips or boil and bite trays. So forget about your difficult and disappointing experiences with other teeth-whitening delivery systems; ROCKSTAR White's tray system uses a food grade impression material that makes an instant impression of your teeth allowing a truly custom fit. The better the fit the better the results.

The long awaited theatrical adaptation of The Great Gatsby novel by F. Scott Fitzgerald premiered Friday, May 10, 2013. The story takes place during the roaring 1920’s. Not only were the parties grand, but also so were the decadent outfits, lavish accessories, and sultry make-up. The 1920’s were simply fabulous- well at least that’s the way the new adaptation of The Great Gatsby makes it seem.

1920’s make-up and fashion never looked so good especially when in 3-D. The 1920’s have become revived in our current fashion and beauty trends of the moment. Since three dimensional make-up has not been invented as of yet our beauty experts Mayela Vazquez and Sean James gave us some tips on how to pull off chic 1920’s hair and make-up styles.

For every look, you have to have an inspiration in mind that helps you achieve the perfect look for a special occasion. Today's inspiration is The Great Gatsby movie and a classy 1920’s look.

Make-Up Application

1. For a long lasting look, it is very important to prepare and clean your skinbefore you start applying any make-up product on. Depending on your type of skin, choose a special primer or a moisturizer in case you need it.

2. After you prepare your skin, start applying your concealer and foundation, if you have a great skin you could use a tinted moisturizer as a foundation too. Make sure you use one that matches your skin shade. Blend gently and apply loose powder or pressed powder evenly over the foundation. Don't use much, and lightly press on and dust off the excess. This prevents you from rubbing off your beautifully applied base. Remember, we are looking for a nice porcelain skin from 1920.

3. For a 1920’s look you only need to get inspired and you can choose either a more natural look or get creative with a smokey eye. The most important part on either of this looks is to create a thick eye liner on your upper eyelid that will make your eyes look amazing. In terms of lashes, think big. Either go false or curl and apply at least two coats of intense black mascara.

4. The eyebrows are key to enhance the 1920’s look. To get the look, darken and turn eyebrows slightly downward. You can apply the desired shape with an eye shadow or eyebrow pencil that is darker than your hair color.

5. To complete your Make-Up application, add a Rouse color on your cheeks and a deep blood red color on your lips. If you want, you can also add some clear gloss to make them pop.

Preparing your Hair 

Most hairstyles from the 1920’s were short, but you don't have to cut your hair to make it trendy. Here are some options you can try to get that look for this season.

1. Use some heat protection before you start using hot tools on your hair.

2. You can use a curling iron and pin your hair up with some bobby pins, add some hair spray and leave them for at least 15-20 minutes for a long lasting look. You can do your Make-Up while you have your curls up.

3. When you take the curls down, the best way to have that beautiful waves from 1920’s is to brush your hair to loose the curls and start shaping those waves, put some hairspray on and you will be ready to rumble. You could pin or push one of the sides of your hair back to have a sexy, classy look.

4. You could also play with your hair and create a nice updo on the back and leave some waves on the front to give that finger waves kind of look.

As Sean James explained to us the 1920’s was when women showed their independence by chopping off their hair. The key element is to first of all cut it into what’s called the shingle bob. The roaring 1920’s where fast and swinging, short hair added to the element of immediate style and design. This is when the hairstyle of finger waves became popular. Use a setting lotion or a mousse to help form and set the wave. Brush the hair out after it is dry for a more full look.

The final step to complete a 1920’s hairdo is to add an art deco headband. The headband should be metallic, possibly with a Chanel style round feather cluster or half turban style headband. For long hair, set finger waves and pull back into a chignon. Add chopsticks and possibly a decorative brooch on the side of the head.

It’s something every woman fears: Waking up on the day before or day of a big event such as a wedding, reunion, business interview, or first date with an unsightly skincare emergency. How many women have cancelled that first date because a cold sore erupted? How about cystic acne on your chin that appears the day before your wedding? While neither of these is “life threatening” conditions, for a woman they might as well be. There are solutions. Dr. Rebecca Baxt is a Manhattan/New Jersey board certified dermatologist. As a female dermatologist, she is not immune to these skincare 911s and shares her expertise on what can be done to mitigate various conditions.

Problem: Cold Sore

Solution: Dr. Baxt offers cortisone injections to patients who want to look better faster. “Very diluted cortisone into the cold sore, this can bring the inflammation down quite rapidly,” she says. If you are afraid of needles, call your doctor and ask him/her to call in a prescription for Valtrex, Famvir, or Acylovir, Dr. Baxt says. You can pick up Abreva, an over-the-counter medication. If you can't make it to the pharmacy, you can try some old-fashioned remedies: Visine will help take the red out. You can also use a cold compress and Tylenol or ibuprofen.

Problem: Allergic Reaction

Solution: The first thing you need to do is stop eating or using whatever is causing the allergic reaction. If the reaction happens a few days before you’re an important event or meeting, Dr. Baxt recommends using hydrocortisone cream twice a day and taking allegra, claritin or zyrtec which are longer acting and less sedating than Benadryl. Try a whole-milk compress for 10 minutes twice a day. For allergic reactions the day of your wedding, use the hydrocortisone cream and then cover up redness by canceling it out entirely. The opposite of red is green, so apply green tinted concealer on the red area. The combination will create a flesh-toned hue. A good quality tinted moisturizer naturally has green/yellow undertones and also provides moisture to dry skin. “If this type of reaction is something you have never experienced before, go immediately to your dermatologist,” says Dr. Baxt.

Problem: Cystic Acne Breakout

Solution: There are some people who use a lancet or small knife to cut into a cyst and fish out the clogged part of the pore. “Cutting open a cyst is extremely risky. You not only run the risk of getting an infection, but you also run the risk of scarring, as in a permanent skin indentation or protrusion,” says Dr. Baxt. And what if you cut open a cyst but can't squeeze out the root clog? You don't know where the root is or how deep it resides inside your skin. You can't even be 100% confident that you will be able to completely remove the hardened plug of the cyst. If any remnants of the clog remain, the cyst is likely to get re-inflamed and come back even worse. It's also not exactly good to cut open skin and dig around and squeeze the wound. Doing so will only make a bloody mess, increase the chance of skin scarring, and prolong the time it takes the cyst to heal.

Here’s a secret that many a supermodel or actress use: Steroid shot. Dr. Baxt explains that, “when we discuss treating acne with cortisone or “steroid” shots, we are referring to the process of gently placing a very dilute quantity of a “glucocorticoid” steroid into the cyst. Glucocorticoids are a class of steroid molecules that are naturally produced by our bodies and have numerous functions including the regulation of human metabolism, immunity, and inflammation. They have very potent anti-inflammatory effects so they are often used to treat inflammatory diseases in medicine. They can be formulated as creams to treat skin rashes or as pills to treat systemic disease. They can also be injected directly into local areas of inflammation such as in arthritic joints and inflamed acne cysts. Within one or two days of injection into a cyst, the steroid will shrink the inflammation producing relief of pain and almost immediate cosmetic improvement.”

Problem: Puffy Eyes

Solution: The key to reducing the puffiness of puffy eyes is having something cool applied to them. "A cool compress or cooled cucumber slices applied for 5 to 10 minutes can constrict blood and lymph vessels," says Dr. Baxt. You can also use cool tea bags, which contain tannins that will help reduce swelling. And since puffy eyes can be caused by a high salt diet or alcohol, try to cut out both before an important occasion.

In as little as 3-4 weeks you will be able to get fit, get beautified, and even bounce back from a little nip and tuck with help from our experts.

4 Weeks Before An Event

About a month before the big day you want to plan out your schedule to fit in workouts. By this time you should have already picked out your outfit, so the goal isn’t to slim down for the big day but to tone up. The perfect workout for this task is The Bar Method, which should be done 3-4 times a week. The Bar Method is designed to tone and sculpt muscles, enhance posture, and reshape your body. Creator of The Bar Method, Burr Leonard, shares a quick tip on how this look is achieved. “The Bar Method class alternates between exercises that demand intense bursts of energy and deep stretches. This format produces both high caloric burn and firmer muscle mass. It also gives you an overall slimmer, more youthful appearance by working on your posture.”

3 Weeks Before Event

Board certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Robert Kratschmer of Houston, Texas suggests a few quick procedures that require three weeks or less total recovery time.

1. Breast Augmentation: Whether you have been considering a breast enhancement for years or you just want to fill out your dress, this procedure is quick and easy with minimal down time. It takes about 2 hours in surgery, 1 week until you’re back to normal activities, and 3 weeks until you can exercise normally.

2. CoolSculpting: As a non-surgical alternative to liposuction, CoolSculpting helps you get a thinner and trimmer midsection. “On average, a single CoolSculpting treatment creates a 25 percent reduction in fat in the treated area,” Kratschmer explains. The device cools fat cells to a point at which they become damaged and die, and this is why your thinner appearance will become visible as soon as 3 weeks after treatment.

3. Lipo of neck and chin: As we age, certain elements start to sag and lose firmness and even by our mid-twenties this is visible in some facial features. With just 2 weeks recovery time, liposuction of the neck can give you back your sculpted jawline.

2 Weeks Before

A couple weeks before a big day is the best time for any facial rejuvenations. For whatever area you want treated, any injectables or peels will need at least a week for swelling to go down.

1. BOTOX®- “The most common area of injection is between the eyebrows where adults frequently develop a furrow. This area responds extremely well to Botox. "Crows feet" and forehead lines also respond well,” explains Dr. Rebecca Baxt of Baxt Cosmedical. When applied carefully it helps you obtain a smooth appearance. They have also recently started using Botox for under the eye and areas around the mouth.

2. Fraxel® Laser Resurfacing- Many women and men are unaware of this new facial peel technology. The laser is applied in microscopic spots to minimize downtime. You will have a “sunburnt” look immediately after, but within a week you will notice smooth skin, less wrinkles and faded brown spots!

3. Fillers- Another quick way to amp up your look is with the option of several different injectable fillers. Fillers are used to plump up lips, fill in lines and wrinkles, and contour the face.

1 Week Before

For the past few weeks you have been exercising, beautifying, and planning last minute details for your overall look. It is important to remember that looking good on the outside is achieved by feeling good on the inside. Cosmetic treatments can aid in a beauty regimen, but to get a glowing appearance you must nourish your body with plenty of healthy foods. Certified nutritionist, Franci Cohen has created an event -Prep food guide of which nutrients to include in your diet pre-event day.

1. Carrots for a Natural Glow: We all know that eating obscene amounts of carrots can give the skin that orange hue, but a slightly above average intake can do wonders for your health as well as your beauty regimen. Carrots are high in beta carotene (a derivative of Vitamin A, which plays a huge roll in the renewal, protection, and fortification of cells). Ingesting this from nutrient-rich sources such as carrots, will most definitely beautify your skin from within. Over three decades of research support the claim that those who eat ample amounts of Vitamin A from betacarotene, have lower incidences of ski cancers, and have long-term glowing, beautiful, and nurtured skin!

2. Almond Milk for Smooth Skin: Almond milk is a nutrient-dense food that offers an abundance of essential nutrients and trace minerals such as manganese, magnesium, phosphorus, vitamin B-2, vitamin E, tryptophan, and copper. It has many health benefits, including promoting healthier, vital, and younger looking skin. The vitamin E in almond milk protects the skin from free radical damage, leaving only plump, young, beautiful skin. Almond milk plays a role in the body's oil-regulation, which can prevent acne and other skin conditions caused by oily skin. Almond milk is also an excellent hydrator for the skin.

3. Blueberries for Clear Skin: Blueberries are high in antioxidants, which fight those nasty free radicals that we keep mentioning. They protect the skin from premature aging, and help maintain a healthy and clear complexion. They have even been labeled "the fountain of youth"! As they counteract the aging process, they help skin steer clear of the age spots, wrinkles, acne, and other blemishes that accompany the aging process. So stock up on blueberries, and you may just be that 30 year old who looks like a teenager!

4. Flaxseeds to reduce Wrinkles and Dry Skin: The oil from these tiny little flaxseeds can do wonders for skin tone. Flaxseed oils are very high in omega 3 fatty acids, which are very beneficial to the skin. It is loaded with vitamin B, potassium, magnesium, fiber, and zinc. This is the perfect elixir to treat various skin disorders associated with dry skin, such as eczema, rosacea, and psoriasis. Omega 3 fatty acids are also essential for the repair of skin cells, leading to the reduction, smoothening, and prevention of wrinkles.

3 Days Before

The big day is almost here and you are looking fabulous! Now it is time to try out another important look - your hair. This could honestly be the toughest choice because there are so many different hair trends, how do you know which is the right look for you? Danny Jelaca of the Danny Jelaca Salon in Miami Beach advises that the hair should compliment the dress design, so he has picked his top looks for each.

For a sweetheart top: For a strapless dress it is best to let your hair fall down with loose bouncy curls. Repeat: LOOSE curls, you don’t want it to look like a Quinceañera! To bring some of the weight off your face, take a small strand from each side and pin it back around the head. 

For a low cut back: This look is stunning in itself, so you don’t want to have your hair hanging down. An interesting hairstyle would be a low side pony with loose waves. Start with clean hair and using a large curling iron make big waves. Pin loosely onto either side, securing any loose strands in place. Decorate with tiny white flowers or a tiny braid.

For a lacey top: Lace is a huge hit in fashion these days and nothing could look more glamorous on a wedding dress. Like Duchess Kate’s dress, the lace adds a look of elegance and class, so the hairstyle should match. A classy style is a medium-high messy bun. You don’t want a tight bun that is too ballerina-esque, and also not that high. “A bun just above the middle of the scalp is elegant, flirty and extremely stylish,” says Danny. You should start with wavy hair and pull it back into a ponytail. They waves will help the hair twirl around the base of the pony and be secured into the bun. For a sleek look, tease the front and smooth it back, and for a more relaxed look pull some pieces down around the front of your face.
