Laser Treatment in a Bottle

...almost. Clinique's Repairwear Laser Focus Wrinkle & UV Damage Corrector helps you complexion to forgive you for some of the careless ways you treated your face over the years. Sun exposure, stress and pollution have a way of building up over time and leave your skin at a disadvantage. Here is a way to help you turn back complexion time.



We found this product to be very promising and easy to use--the dropper applicator dispenses just the right amount and the liquid glides smoothly on the face, We also like that the bottle is made out plastic rather than breakable glass.

Remembrance of Things Past


  Classics  deserve a place in history and these time-tried classics deserve a place in your cleansing and moisturizing routine. Neutrogena's Facial Cleansing Bar still has the ingredients to gently cleanse the complexion, Rainbath (was it the first "shower gel"?) cleanses, softens and conditions, the Neutrogena Light Sesame Formula Body Oil imparts a silky layer of moisture without being cloying. (It can also be used as a bath oil.) The Intensive Moisture Wrap does just that--envelopes your skin with a layer of moisture that helps defeat dry skin.

 Time is what all these classics have in common. And simplicity--they simply work and work very simply.

Beauty by Borghese


    Coming in November, nurturing and beautifying lip color from the La Perla Duale Collection by Borghese featuring six fashion forward shades inspired by the runways of Milan:  Perla Nudo, Perla CafĂ©, Perla Fiamma, Perla Pesca, Perla Vino and Perla Rosa. 


   The creamy, long-lasting, dual purpose formula delivers rich, opaque color with a high pearl finish.  Formulated with Vitamins A, E & C to condition lips and help provide anti-oxidant protection, and Chamomile and Aloe to soothe and smooth. The finish is subtle and warmly glowing with a soft and muted  foil-like finish, and it stays on a long time. Even the shape in the tube is nice--not too rectangular so it glides on as smoothly as it feels on your lips.

The Brazilian Treatment



If your complexion could use a little more intense encouragement, and your skin is not sensitive, here is a little something to uncover a brighter, smoother you. Brazilian Peel is a professional strength facial peel and the single-use syringe provides the right amount for one treatment. You mix the two ingredients in the palm of your hand and apply to your face and neck and leave on for about ten minutes then rinse with cool water. Apply moisturizer and very important--sunscreen-- which you should wearing every day anyway.
  The main ingredient is Acai, a super-anti-oxidant berry that can help reduce some of the damage carelessly (or not) done to your complexion over the years and help promote healthier-looking skin.

Advanced Home Actives says it is helping to protect the rainforest and the economies of the Amazon estuary by using only organic Acai that is harvested using sustainable methods, and by contributing a portion of its gross revenues to Amazon preservation projects.

It can be ordered by visiting

An Original from Origins



Problems with oily skin can persist well into adulthood and even a lifetime. Oily skin can be hereditary, and if your parents have oily skin, there is a fair chance that you will inherit it. External factors such as the weather can also affect skin oiliness.

Here is something new from Origins-- a clinically-proven regimen for controlling excess oil inspired by Mother Nature, the NEW Zero Oil™ Collection with Saw Palmetto and Mint. This complete Collection helps to control excess oil and unclog and visibly shrink pores, which helps decrease the appearance of oily skin.

These products feel so cool and light when you apply them and leave no trace—just results.

The Zero Oil™ Collection with Saw Palmetto and Mint:

NEW Zero Oil™ Deep pore cleanser

NEW Zero Oil™ Pore purifying toner

NEW Zero Oil™ Oil-free moisture lotion --(Oil and moisture are not the same. Oil in the skin will seal in existing moisture, but it will not replace moisture that is lost, especially with age. The older you are, the more important it is to use a moisturizer, even when skin is oily.)

Zero Oil™ Instant matte finish for shiny places – not new but a great way to ensure a non-oily finish.

Wickedly Fresh Breath

Wicked Fresh is a truly refreshing toothpaste from Tom's of Maine that knocks out bad breath and leaves your mouth feeling fresh and clean, using all-natural ingredients.   Bad breath, courtesy of volatile sulfur compouds (VSCs) produced by bacteria in your mouth, is something no one wants and now you can use an all-natural toothpaste with natutal  mint flavor oils to neutralize bad breath. There are no artificial flavors, sweeteners, saccharin, dyes or preservatives. And Tom's of Maine never tests on animals. They launched a landmark case to petition the FDA against the use of animal testing for oral care products.

It really is Wicked Fresh, and 10% of Tom's of Maine's net profits go back to the community.

RoC--Brilliant!


  



A cruel trick, perhaps, but the body’s natural process slows down with time, making it more difficult for skin to repair itself, among other things. This loss of essential proteins, like collagen and elastin, all play a part in wrinkles, lines and skin discoloration. RoC® BRILLIANCE™ is the first line of breakthrough at-home anti-aging treatments that works in 2 steps.
 E-PULSE™: a patented micro-current technology inspired by the latest professional procedures and backed by years of research. It uses electrostimulation to bring new life to the look of your skin.
Electrostimulation instantly creates a gentle flow of energy within the surface layers of the skin and stimulates the skin’s natural process for dramatic results. Recharge your skin; recharge your attitude.

New for Spring from Avon


Here are a few items definitely worth your attention—Avon’s ANEW REVERSALIST Night Renewal Cream –couldn’t we all use a little help taking a few steps back in time to help our complexions look a bit more youthful? Use this at night and the companion ANEW REVERSALIST Day Renewal Cream SPF 25  during the daylight hours. It visibly reverses wrinkles with Activinol Technology while helping to protect skin with SPF 25 UVA/UVB.


And for an eye-makeup that is so new it still isn’t available as of this writing—you should grab a few of Avon’s SuperSHOCK Vivid Liquid Eyeshadow. It only sounds like an eye make-up that Lady GaGa would wear onstage. The color is so sheer and subtle that all you have is a beautiful veil of shimmering color highlighting your eyes. If you want a more bold look, just apply another layer. Or two. Shades include Chromed Cocoa, Garnet Flash, Pink Reflects and Twinkling Snow and at $7.00 each, you can buy a couple.
