GLOWING SKIN WITH SKIN RADIANCE
No, I’m not pregnant and I’m not a blushing bride and alas, I’m not in love (unless you count that unrequited crush). So why am I glowing? Well, maybe it’s because I’ve been using Avitalin’s Skin Radiance Growth Factors Renewal Complex. Yes, that’s a complicated name for a skin care product, but when I investigated the ingredients, I came to understand the intensity of the name. The first component is Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF), a compound discovered by a Nobel Prize winning biochemist named Stanley Cohen. The second radiance-inducing ingredient is kinetin – a type of plant hormone that induces cell division and turnover, which, as we who chase anti-aging ingredients know, is a key factor in achieving the high pro glow. The third ingredient contributing to this complex brew is deer velvet extract. Now, this ingredient really demanded some further investigation.
Deer velvet extract indeed comes from deer antlers, which are cast off every year as part of the deer’s natural growth cycle. These antlers are harvested for both their nutritional and medicinal value and have been used in Asian medicine for thousands of years to stimulate the immune system, to promote cell growth and for their strong anti-inflammatory properties. Sounds good to me.
Marina Volod – founder of Avitalin hails from Russia and now lives in Oregon and her philosophy of skin care is to treat the skin but also use ingredients that activate the innate biological functions of your skin cells to better perform. You might also like to know that Avitalin’s products are free of parabens and formaldehyde-releasing ingredients commonly used to preserve skin-care products and instead they use a new natural preservation system approved by ECOCERT and other international certification organizations. You can check out Skin Radiance at:

Benefits:
• Stimulates new cells growth
• Increases epidermal thickness and strengthen skin’s elasticity and structure
• Relieves oxidative stress and helps in delaying premature aging
• Helps in the healing process
• Visibly reduces the appearance of fine lines
1oz. $100
Avitalin’s ultimate anti-aging complex features an unparalleled combination of growth factors to combat the visible signs of aging and generate new cell growth.Recent scientific research has shown that growth factors are capable of tissue remodeling and play a leading role in the process of new cell development. Gradually the skin is transformed, becoming clearer and firmer.

I am a huge Phytomer fan. I just cannot get enough of those minerals from the sea.
For summer, I'm digging into their SUNCARE LINE like crazy. It's broken down into PREPARE, PROTECT and AFTER-SUN care.
Everything is heavenly - the SOOTHING AFTER SUN MASK ( refreshes and repairs with cytoprotectine - protects against premature skin, soothes inflammation and pheohydrane - an intensive moisturizer), SUN SOOTHER AFTER SKIN MILK ( marine extracts, shea butter, chrysanthellum indicum extract - a calming herb), SUN SOLUTION SPF 30 ( with UVA, UVB filters and marine sugar).
I am most surprised about the SUN RADIANCE SELF-TANNING CREAM FOR FACE AND BODY (around $50). This is one department I always shy away from. Except for the amazing BEAUTISOL line which leaves you with stunning color, I've never had a good experience in this area. Knowing Phytomer makes such high quality products, I decided to give it a try and worked the cream into my face yesterday morn. Odorless and light, it was a no brainer to apply (some have had me streaked, foamed and globbed). And two hours later, I had just the slighted hint of a brown hued (not orange!!) real tan. Totally subtle, natural and modest. Today I went for more, a bit on the chest, boobs and tum. It's lovely. I'm very impressed.
Everything in the line runs between $40 and $50 for nice size tube and bottles.

Secrets of a Top Skin Doctor
You wouldn’t take advice from a pudgy personal trainer, a chain-smoking doctor… and certainly not a wrinkly dermatologist. Women’s Health contributor, Francesca Fusco practices what she preaches. Here, she gives you your ticket to a beautiful complexion and gorgeous, glowing skin.
Use SPF powder
Every day, dust a broad-spectrum mineral sunscreen powder over your regular SPF day lotion and makeup to deflect light, making your skin look flawless, and adding an even stronger protective layer; it’s also handy for controlling midday shine in oily skin types. (HAD NO IDEA!)
Switch up your retinol
If you use only one anti-aging product, make it topical vitamin A, which unclogs pores, prevents the buildup of dead skin cells, diminishes lines, lightens dark spots, and makes skin glow. Apply a pea-size amount of the cream to your face every night. (OOPS, DON'T EVEN USE IT!)
Go easy on injectables
Muscle freezers, like Botox, improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, but it’s important not to go overboard. Baby Botox is a smaller amount which is administered more frequently and you won’t end up looking frozen or balloon-faced. (ANOTHER NEWS FLASH)
Stop yo-yo dieting!
Rapid gains and losses of 10 or more pounds stretch the skin, making it slower to bounce back, so preserve your face by maintaining a healthy weight. (DOES 3 TO 5 POUNDS COUNT?)
Use a modern exfoliating brush
The Clarisonic Mia Sonic Skin Cleansing System has instant smoothing and a deep-cleansing ability, which is great for everyone—even acne prone individuals. Its sonic-wave technology decongests pores and allows your cleanser and topic products to dig even deeper. (ME LOVES MY CLARISONIC! TRY THE OPAL FOR EYES!!)
Perk up your eyes with caffeine
Dark-circle products that contain vitamin K or caffeine (both of which simulate blood flow to prevent pooling around the eyes) are effective if you use them every day. You can also pop the product in the fridge—cold temperatures constrict blood vessels and make puffiness go down. (HOW ABOUT JUST DRINKING 6 CUPS OF COFFEE A DAY? I ALREADY DO THAT!)

$39 for the shampoo/conditioner set
Loving the feel and texture of this line.

And I follow up with this:
$35

And I'm having a major style crush on this line. Both in packaging and ingredients.
I mean c'mon, take a look, that's just ridic.
how do these ingredients sound?
acai, vitamin b, jojoba, yerba mate, black currant, soy yogurt, algae
Uber chic design and high performance.
This bad-ass line, launched by Juan Carlos Obando and Didier Malige includes twelve cleansing and styling products: L’eau de Mer Hydrating Shampoo and Conditioner, Lumiere D’Hiver Reconstructing Masque, and Jour D’Automne Support Solution, etc.
100% Vegan, Sulfate, Gluten, Bad Taste and Paraben free formulas claim to restore your locks to “bourgeoisie strength.”

Every now and then I go on an organic skin care diet. With all the high-end-cutting-edge scientific-formulas I try on a weekly (no daily!) basis, there's nothing like getting back to the basics and nurturing my skin with pure, nature derived, organic formulations.
Enter Melvita, #1 organic-certified beauty brand from Ardeche, a region in the south of France known for its natural beauty. Melvita received the ECOCERT award for meeting the strict natural and organic cosmetics criteria like no other company out here.

If you've never come across a product from the gorgeously and uber-eco-consciously-packaged skin care line L'OCCITANE you must be, no offense, living in a bush. This super high quality skin care line is so classic it's damn near iconic.
I've yet to be on a film or tv set where a bevy of lip balm tubes aren't floating around the make-up trailer or in the make-up peeps fanny packs. And how many of us have seen their soap in just about everyone's bathroom. Or bought it as a can't-go-wrong gift. And for me, a day at The Grove doesn't smell nearly as sweet without a pop into their shop to sample the delectable Provence inspired fragrances. Layer, layer, layer!
So you can imagine how excited I am to revisit the line now that I'm in the biz, so to speak. Sometimes combing through the standards is a great way to redefine a brand for yourself. You KNOW they make good stuff, so why not branch out?
I've had their hand cream, the classic SHEA BUTTER (and oddly, my sis-in-law Chelsea is also strangely addicted to it as well) in my purse for years. It's uber-rich and divine and no other hand cream has been able to conquer my embarrassingly rough man-hands like L'OCCITANE's. So what else have I been missing?
First of all, I've totally overlooked some rock-star things about the company in general. I'm talking about things that make you feel all warm and fuzzy about what you're using.
There's the that fact that they use sustainable and recyclable packaging, are PETA members and so obvi no animal testing. Ahh.... And then there are the 150 plants used in the products, most often organic and hailing from the lands of Provence of the Mediterranean.
Founded in 1976 L'OCCITANE has nurtured simple values: authenticity, respect, sensoriality and continual improvement. This is more than a philosophy: it is a commitment that, over the years, has driven many concrete actions. All of our actions and choices are guided by a twofold desire: to preserve and to pass on. It is this that gives our brand its life force, its meaning and its purpose.
And alas, the products I've overlooked!
I had no idea they have a whole line for sensitive skincare. This line is made with products that have been formulated with no perfumes, colourants, alcohol or preservatives - perfect for skin that is prone to allergic reactions. My skin in the winter is very sensitive as it dries out and loses moisture, so I will def look further into these offerings formulated with the protective properties of shea butter and the softening properties of organic cotton.
I am now getting way into the Immortelle infused Anti-Aging line. This precious essential oil has anti-free radical and anti-wrinkle properties. The scent and feel when I put it on makes me gaga.
(Or better yet, hellooo! The Ultimate Divine Skincare Collection for $270 really takes care of biz for you with eyes, extract and cream)
A divine serum, with the highest concentration of Immortelle and Myrtle essential oils, it'll deliver visibly younger-looking skin as the the fresh and velvety serum:
• Smoothes wrinkles, has a visible firming effect.
• Plumps up the skin, visibly improves its texture and appearance.
• The complexion looks fresh, radiant and luminous again.
This divine formula combines:
•Organic Immortelle essential oil formulated with micro-capsule delivery system to stimulate microcirculation, collagen synthesis, and protect against free radical
•Organic Myrtle essential oil to stimulate the action of the longevity protein to visibly preserve the skin's youthful appearance
•Hyaluronic acid for immediate plumping effect ( I actually take this as a supplement daily!)
•Vitamin C derivative and parsley to reduce visible dark spots and improve skin's texture and appearance
So you get the point: Organic. Pure. Concentrated. Nature at it's best. Cruelty Free. Dermatologist tested. Delivered to you in gorgeous eco-aware packaging from an Earth-conscious company.
Next time you're at The Grove pop into L'OCCITANE and get past the cute gift soaps and hand cream and dig a little deeper. This sensitive-skin-care line is right up there with the biggies for your big skin concerns.
And if you aren't heading there anytime soon, browse their complete line here:

But I did want to go out with a skin care bang and one company I lost it over this year was Somme Institute.
I was sent their line and told to use it exclusively for 5 weeks. And I tried my hardest to, which is tricky when sampling skin-care is what I do. But I did my best to use it as my primary line and the results were stunning. I heard nothing but: Holy crap, your skin looks amazing! What? You just had a baby? Your skin looks insane! And more of that sort of stuff. Not kidding. Yes, I did a VI PEEL or two but I am quite certain, it was my diligent application of this 5 step process ($298), daily, that sent my skin into a gorgeous, glow-y universe.
The stylish, minimal, modern packaging is clearly and cleverly designed with giant color dots and once you get going there's no thinking about what product comes first. You simply get the colors in your head and then you can grab the right one in your sleep. It's that easy.
Ok, here's the deal: Somme Institute has developed and patented a revolutionary and radical new technology called MDT5 (Molecular Dispersion Technology). Containing free radical fighting anti-oxidants, MDT5 allows 5 highly engineered essential vitamins (A, B3/B5, C, and E) to penetrate the inner skin layers in their active forms at high concentrations. These free-radical fighting vitamins are bound in a scientific matrix of polypeptides that target specific skin cell receptors permitting Somme Institute to benefit the skin by:
• Delivering intense hydration and moisture
• Repairing sun damage and discoloration
• Smoothing fine lines, wrinkles and crepiness
• Increasing the density of the dermal matrix
• Increasing skin elasticity with continued use
This unique formula penetrates deep within the skin without oxidizing or losing potency when exposed to air or light.
The result is the most profound visual changes in skin texture, radiance and overall appearance ever achieved in cosmetic history without a prescription.
THE 5-STEP PROCESS INCLUDES:
| Step 1: Nourishing Cleanser (non-foaming/non-irritating) |
| Step 2: Transport (gentle exfoliant) |
| Step 3: Serum (with Vitamin C) |
| Step 4: A-Bomb (moisturizer with Vitamins A and E) |
| Step 5: Double Defense (SPF 30+) |

Why is that everything from the UK reeks of fabulousness?
Take the super-luxurious skincare line INA CRYSTALS. It stands for INNER NUTRITIONAL ALCHEMY. First off, the entire line (skin & body products) works to detoxify the body while feeding the skin with trace elements and minerals to repair and rejuvenate. It gets your glow on while being totally paraben, synthetic solvent and petrochemical free.
The White Gold line is built upon Himalayan White Gold Crystal and 84 (YES 84!) natural earthly mineral wonders. It's purpose: to encourage the skin to self-generate back to its natural alkaline state. A dip in a bath with a few scoops of White Gold Detox Bath Crystals ($85 for 35.2 oz) will not only feel amaazzingg but also detox, deep cleanse, heal, improve blood circulation, reduce fluid retention, helps with minor skin problems and irritations, (wait...take a breath...there's more) and is even a natural post-natal therapy to help eliminate toxins and medicine administered in childbirth. The minerals are absorbed through the cells, sending the body into self-healing mode. Hang on, did I mention it helps add luminosity to skin and improve tone and texture? Oh, did I forget that you will melt away in heavenly waft of basil, fennel and juniper essential oils?
Uh, yah. If you're a bath freak like moi, this is a no-brainer. Put it on your holiday list and start sending it around. This is a premiere gift for the holidays. The packaging is uber-elegant and makes me think of the Waldorf hotel in the 70's for some reason. It's tres classy. Took my dip today and already thinking this might be the only way to start the day from here on in.
Rounding out the line is the White Gold Restoring Night Serum, the Day Moisture Cream, Face Wash, Purifying Face Mask and my fave so far as I love to spritz, the Radiant Skin Tonic. The divine smelling Face Wash with little crystals in it, is running a close second.

How many times have you had this exchange -- a good friend looks you in the eyes and before you’ve even said a word, she asks, “What’s wrong?” You reply, ”How’d you know?” Without words, gestures or any empirical information other than your gaze your friend knows because “the truth is in the eyes” and that is the apt name of Ole Henriksen’s breakthrough new treatment gel designed for the eye tissue where most creams and potions refuse to tread.
Honestly if the eyes are the seat of emotional communication then the skin framing them is pretty damn important, yet I estimate that 99.99% of all of my product contains the phrase “avoid direct contact with the eye area.” The problem -- this is the part of the face that is the first responder for showcasing stress, aging, um slight mental imbalances, fatigue, environmental irritation and any number of other issues. So, what’s a girl to do? We can’t exfoliate and pamper this area that needs it most. Of course, Mr. Henriksen, who takes a very philosophical approach to his skin care, understands that how you frame the art is as important as the art. TRUTH is revolutionary in that Mr. Henriksen has found a formulation of Glycolic Acid (AHA) and Lactic Acid that is gentle enough to use on the delicate tissue under the eye. Now you can gently exfoliate this skin and along with the Vitamin C clear the way for a brighter under eye appearance. TRUTH also contains micro algae that firms the skin and boosts collagen production and a rice bran protein that strengthens the tissue and improves circulation, which will help eliminate the appearance of dark circles and puffiness. There’s also a strong moisturizing component thanks to an ingredient called saccharide.
My under eyes have been looking very grim due to some health issues and a fair amount of tears but after 3 weeks of using TRUTH I’m very happy to report that my under eye skin is noticeably brighter. When a product actually works, I fantasize about spreading it over my entire body, which with treatments is an expensive fantasy as my body is large and treatments come in small containers. I compromised and gave myself a little piece of my fantasy and put TRUTH on my nose as well as under my eyes. I figured they were connected. And yes, my nose is looking very fine thank you. Old red pimple mark from last outbreak – gone. Enjoy.

Close your eyes and imagine that the person you trust most in the world, who is smart and diligent, thoughtful and purposeful, perceptive and inquisitive decides to go on an epic spiritual and health journey and bring all of the information she learns from years of research and inquiry and experimentation back to you distilled and filtered into usable form. Now open your eyes and gaze upon the glory of Karen Klutznick and KK Ayurveda and that’s exactly what you will find. Karen was a fancy business lady with an MBA working in big time real estate development, but after a serious health crisis, in her recovery, Karen discovered Ayurveda the 5,000 year old Indian medicine practice that seeks to restore balance through diet, meditation and spiritual practice. Following an Ayurvedic diet and practice so changed Karen’s life and state of being that she gave up her career and moved to Albuquerque, New Mexico to study Ayurvedic medicine in a two year program with world renowned Dr. Vasant Lad at the Ayurvedic Institute. She is now a certified ayurvedic practitioner with the express mission of helping others manage changing from one way of life to another more healthy way of life just as she has done.
True to the spirit of her
practice, Karen’s skin care line evolved from making product for her own
use. She is an early adopter,
trying every (and I mean EVERY) line that comes out, studying ingredients and
taking the best from western and eastern traditions to forge a hybrid routine
that has resulted in what I have seen up close and I must say is museum quality
skin. Go on her website and take a look at her picture! She’s completely open about what she
uses and always recommends products in her monthly newsletter. Or you can email her
(KK@KKAyurveda.com) and do email consultations. When you have beautiful skin, people naturally ask you what
you use so she began bottling her concoctions and sharing with friends and so
on and so on until the full line was officially launched. She adds products all the time as need
arises or requests come in. A
young friend needed a product to take to camp this summer and Bug Bites and Boo
Boos was born. Another friend
requested a natural hand sanitizer so let there be Natural, Non-Drying Hand
Sanitizer Spray.
Of course, the line is
streamlined because Karen insists that products multi-task when possible. Take the cleanser – you can use the
cleanser straight up to remove eye make up and then with water to wash your
face. Brilliant! Then the Frankincense-Neroli Cream is
both an eye cream and a face cream. I thought Frankincense was just for ceremonial
use in the Catholic Church but apparently it’s a phenomenal anti-wrinkle
treatment and was used in ancient Egypt to preserve the Mummies! The Anti Aging Serum contains Jojoba
Oil, which Karen tells me is really a wax, and is the natural ingredient
closest in structure to human sebum.
It is so balancing that you can put it on dry skin or oily skin and the
jojoba will work it out. There’s
tons more information like this and many more wonderful products so you need to
go to the website at www.kkayurveda.com and check it out.
Karen also tries to adhere to the ayurvedic goal that you shouldn’t put anything on your skin that you can’t ingest. So, when you see the first five ingredients in her products, you’ll note that you can both pronounce all five and eat all five ingredients. Even the preservatives— like black willow bark-- are natural! She’s formulated very simple and clear morning and evening routines and I promise you won’t be confused about what to use when or have conflicts about which product gets layered first. Karen also studies aromatherapy so the products smell divine. I’ve been using the Anti-Aging Serum, which has the most glorious geranium scent. Ladies, go seek the wisdom. Maybe changing your skin is the first step to changing your life.

THE WONERFUL WIZARD OF ZO…
After a lifetime of summers under the golden California sun, my complexion pretty much screams for some much needed time in the shade. Lucky for me this summer’s skin trend – thanks largely to Twilight and Lady Gag -- is all about pale, translucent, tan-free skin. If only I didn’t suffer from dull sun-spotted skin this would be a dream for my fair European kisser!
Introducing ZO SKIN HEALTH by Zein Obagi, MD. At the recommendation of a friend, I started with the line about 6 weeks ago and I can honestly say, I see a change. A wonderful, conversation-stopping change. My skin-tone is even, my crow’s feet are smoother, and my discoloration has been dramatically reduced. I look younger. I feel confident. I’m turning people on to this system DAILY.
There’s a lot of science behind these products, but what I was most shocked to read is that ZO Skin does not include traditional moisturizers. Instead, the Rx-inspired line boasts deeply nourishing creams that support the body’s natural collagen production and time-released vitamins to stimulate the skin and create a firmer, brighter complexion. Whatever the method, it works!
My favorite products in the line are the OSSENTIAL GROWTH FACTOR SERUM and the OCLIPSE SUNSCREEN AND PRIMER SPF 30. But it’s all good. There’s even an ultra-rich hand cream to use at night containing retinol (to diminish brown spots) and shea butter and avocado oil (to lock in moisture) since, the Dr. believes, the back of your hands reveal not only your age, but actually make you look older than you are. Tell that to the vampires…

LESS IS MORE THIS SUMMER
I waved my flag, I devoured not one, but two burgers and I sat in awe as fireworks flashed through the Santa Monica sky. In other words, I gave summer a big, fat 4th of July kiss on the lips.
Now that summer is in full swing, my beauty regime has shifted into an au natural, beach-ready direction. I’ve swapped my spring blow-outs and polished make-up for naturally wavy-locks and foundation-free skin.
To anyone who shares my minimalist make-up attitude, Murad’s Active Radiance Serum featuring Resilient-C Complex is a must. The rich, silky serum gets skin glowing in just one week. For real! Simply cleanse, apply the serum, wait one minute, moisturize and voila! bright, clear, luminous, summer skin! It’s that easy.
From every mountainside, let beautiful skin ring!

From the moment I laid eyes on SK II CELLUMINATION ESSENCE I knew I had to know more asap. Ok, so I'm a sucker for a great bottle design, name and tag line and SK-II Cellumination Essence has it all goin' on in spades. The theory behind the essence is all about brightening and conditioning cells to boost the transmission of light within the skins surface (hence the gorgeous iridescent bottle) so that skin will look more luminous, radiant and even-toned. "The glow from within" they call it.
SK-II talks of skin's "aura-lucency" - the total diffuse of light within the skin surface. As we age, fluctuations in the skin that cause uneven skin tone can affect the reflection of light transmission, resulting in duller looking skin. Conditioning and redefining the skin surface can help boost the total transmission of dissuse light (aura-lucency) and can lead to skin that appears noticeably more radiant and glowing.
SK-II contains AURA BRIGHT COMPLEX, a juicy cocktail containing Centella asiatica extract, Nicotinamide W and concentrated Pitera (an exclusive ingredient to SK-II). This complex refines the skin's surface, boosting it's glow through hydration, leaving it looking plumped and radiant while decreasing discoloration and unevenness.
I am sooooo excited to go nuts with this serum! I love serums as they are super light and feel so great going on. It says that after 8 weeks of using the serum, studies report that respondents skin is brighter and more even-toned. Me likes!!
Available at www.sk-ii.com
SK-II Cellumination Essence (Hydrating Serum) hydrates and refines the surface to boost skin’s natural, healthy-looking glow and to help diminish the appearance of discoloration for a more even tone.

Read about SKIN MEDICA in New Beauty Magazine and had to learn more. And did I ever.
I've gone lady ga-ga for their ANTI-AGING line:
The TNS ESSENTIAL SERUM -This unparalleled anti-aging serum is the first to combine the renowned growth factor serum, TNS Recovery Complex in one chamber and APS Corrective Complex™, a potent mixture of antioxidants, peptides and other innovative anti-aging ingredients, in the other chamber. Together these products work synergistically to transform and regenerate your skin for a more youthful appearance.
TNS RECOVERY COMPLEX - TNS Recovery Complex, containing the key ingredient NouriCel-MD®, rejuvenates sun damaged and aging skin. NouriCel-MD is an unparalleled physiologic combination of antioxidants and other elements that are found naturally in the skin-a uniquely formulated, anti aging skin care product.
TNS LINE REFINE - reallllyyy love this one! I don't think I'm imagining it when I see the fine lines on my face absorbing this stuff within seconds...Generates rapid filling and smoothing action to visually reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles around the mouth, eyes, and crow's feet while providing long term anti aging benefits.
DERMAL REPAIR CREAM - Dermal Repair vitamin enriched facial cream intensely hydrates and replenishes dry skin with antioxidants and hyaluronic acid. Dermal Repair skin cream helps to reduce the appearance of age spots as it provides skin protection against harsh environmental conditions.
VITAMIN C and E COMPLEX - Vitamin C+E Complex is a fragrance-free, concentrated facial skin care formula containing 15 percent stabilized vitamin C in water- and fat-soluble forms along with vitamin E in two different forms. Vitamins C and E work synergistically to provide and maintain extraordinary antioxidant protection. Especially recommended for natural skin care defense against exposed skin.
Our entire aesthetic product line is based on the science of the skin's own healing abilities. As skin ages, elasticity decreases, lines appear and overall appearance is diminished. To counteract the effects of time, our skin care products contain restorative ingredients that work below the skin's surface to regenerate the health of the skin.
Our scientifically proven recovery compounds include essential ingredients ranging from vitamins C and E to retinol to NouriCel-MD®, our patented blend of growth factors, soluble collagen, antioxidants and matrix proteins. The impact is clear - fine lines are reduced, age spots and discoloration fade, and skin texture and elasticity is improved. All results of our commitment to creating a lifelong skin care solution for healthier skin.

I first sampled EUFORA'S BEAUTIFYING SERUM at a few award season swag events this year and fell in love with this all in one (hair, scalp AND skin) nutrient rich oil. I needed to know more about the line asap! The company has received a ton of raise in the industry - check out this press, which is always a great sign.
It's mission, to create people and planet friendly products, promote and restore the health of color treated and chemically serviced hair using botanical extracts, pure essential oils, no synthetics and a base of aloe vera blends is RIGHT UP MY ALLEY.
I'm playing around with their Hydrating Shampoo, Urgent Repair Replenishing Treatment, Illuminate Shine Mist and Elevate Finishing Spray (cool because it has sun protection!) and diggin' them all big time. And I'm nuts about the Beautifying Serum - just wanna mush it in everywhere - soooo hydarting, but only the teeeniest drop in hair as it's quite rich.
So, where to buy Eufora? Go to this page and type in your Zip for store or salons that sell the stuff!

I've been wishing and wanting and waiting for this beauty to come into my life ever since TERRI LAWTON, facialist goddess used it on me during a treatment many months ago. So when I finally came around to choosing one, there were a few different exciting choices that had been developed since I last checked. It was hard to choose but I went for the CLARISONIC PLUS SKIN CLEANSING SYSTEM. This one has new power settings, 3 speeds for better absorption, a body brush so it shifts to spot mode for elbows, hands, arms, knees, decollete. There is also a customizable T - Timer that notifies you when to switch from cheeks, to forehead, to nose, etc...
And...it's heaven. I always hated how hard I had to scrub to get off the ultra-rich sunblock we have to wear here in L.A., that and my foundation...and the little sparkly blushes and highlighters I love to wear...well, let's just say, after I'd go to town with a wash cloth or face scrub, my face was always scrubbed raw by the time I felt I had cleaned it all off. That's why I could not wait to have my own Clarisonic for gentle yet totally thorough cleansing.
Here's the deal, the Clarisonic Sonic Cleansing and Sonic Infusion was developed by the the primary inventor of the Sonicare toothbrush, so it has that same technology for sonic cleansing and infusion, except for your face! Are you diggin me? Yah, thought so! The system works to cleanse, smooth and refresh the appearance of your skin with (And I can attest to this!!) IMMEDIATELY NOTICEABLE RESULTS. While it's totally gentle for all skin types, the effectiveness is above and beyond manual skin cleansing. And I can tell you after only having mine for a few days, this is totally true. I'm not one of those ooh, lookie, I used it once and I look totally different, wahoo! types...But I can really feel the difference on my face after I cleanse with it - pure and simple. There's no magic trick here, it's just a new technology for one of the oldest processes in the book, cleaning your face. I am loving the cleansers that come with the Plus model too. But any of your favorite cleansers will do.
Meanwhile, they just came out with an New product I am also smitten with (from afar that is), the CLARISONIC OPAL SONIC INFUSION SYSTEM WITH ANTI-AGING SERUM - here the sonic action infuses this serum into the skin, only one minute a day, to reduce fine lines and wrinkles while it brightens, hydrates, refreshes, energizes and firms up the skin...Def putting this on my Clarisonic wish list... and hey, my birthday is coming up next week ;) If I get my wish, I letcha' know!

This line is VERY VERY VERY COOL. LA ROCCA.
Created by Laura DeLuisa, the force behind the $10 million dollar company DuWop, (can you say, "I created LIP VENOM" ...? Yah, me neither...), LA ROCCA was born when both of Laura's kidney's went into total failure. This life-altering event launched her quest for natural healing via 24K gold. She made it her mission to create a collection of age-defying potions that utilize the power of gold while promoting a better environment.
I'm just now getting into the stuff. I'm loving the 24K GOLD EXFOLIATING CLEANSER. And I'm looking foward to trying the 24K C GOLD GEL cuz I love me some gels.
Just take a look at what's inside this yum cleanser...
Cellular Gold Complex an exclusive formula made with 24K Colloidal Gold which is known to promote electron transfer with the metal ions found in the skin to stimulate anti-aging cell turnover.
Diatomaceous Earth gently and quickly exfoliates to smooth and soften skin texture.
Orange Peel Oil gently moisturizes and energizes the skin.
Green Tea Extract, a potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory, defends against free radicals, leaving your skin hydrated, smooth and radiant.
Fulvic Acid, a natural source of approximately 60 bio-available minerals and nutrients, restores electrical balance to damaged cells and neutralizes toxins, resulting in optimum skin health.
Palmitoyl Hexapeptide-6 stimulates collagen growth, improving firmness and elasticity.
Aloe contains 8 of the 13 recognized vitamins, including important antioxidants A, C and F and provides 20 of the 22 necessary amino acids required by the human body.
Chamomile Extract conditions the skin and helps retain moisture. It contains phenolic derivatives, which have antiseptic and healing qualities, azulene, which helps in reducing puffiness and cleans the clogged pores of the skin.

YUM YUM GIMME SOME...MALIE ORGANICS
Malie Organics ingredients range from cultivated organic harvests to the rare wild-crafted plants of our rainforests. All of our ingredients are sustainable grown, ensuring constant renewal. We draw on the talent and time-honored traditions of local artisans to create our products. Malie Organicsi is dedicated to strengthening our Hawaiian way of life, so we can continue to share the gifts of paradise with you.
There a few scents I go nuts over:
Plumeria, lemongrass, ginger, coconut and vanilla (I'll never out grow them, sorry!) and Fracas perfume.
When I heard about the delicious, fresh, organic line MALIE from Hawaii, I knew I had to sample some stuff. And sample I have. I keep the ORGANIC PLUMERIA MIST on my desk, next to my laptop and spray it on me, and into the air all day. I'm like a crazy spritzer. It makes me feel so CLEAN, it's like taking a shower, ten times a day.
Infuse the essence of paradise in your life with Malie's all in one Organic Aroma Mist. As a perfume these Hawaiian Hydrosol infused distillations are unique, subtle and fresh. Use on linens or in the air to transcend to the islands. Malie's Organic ingredients help save our environment one spray at a time.
The other product I'm ga-ga for is this ridiculous LEMONGRASS ORGANIC BODY POLISH. It feels like someone whipped it up in their kitchen just for me. The only problem with these scrubs is I have to ration my use of them cuz I would use it all in like...two showers if I could. Note to self: order three bottles next time...
Here's a bit about them...Check out other divine organics from their line...
Organic Hawaiian wildcrafted lilikoi and organic lemongrass... therapeutic botanicals rescue skin from fatigue and daily stress by reducing swelling and puffiness and stimulating blood flow. Pure Lilikoi Hydrosol and Lemongrass Essential Oil work together to uplift the spirit and balance, firm and refine skin. Lilikoi, the bright yellow sister to the purple passion fruit, creates balance and promotes well being. Delicately fragrant lilikoi hydrosols reduce stress and calm the mind and emotions. Famous for its therapeutic power, lemongrass firms, cleanses and refines skin as it reduces toxins and fluid retention. It’s bright citrus scent is a staple of aromatherapy, used to balance and strengthen the nervous system and help the body recover from stress.

Luckily, they make the finest skin care products on earth. So this won't be happening anytime soon.
BUt seriously, I literally cannot get enough of their serums as it is...now they've come out with this, a duo Serum and Creme that cuts to the chase of everything else on my shelves...
It's hot off the press, and just came out this month. I'll be listing stores in LA that sell it...
Read all about it below.
Even though this does the trick for all my anti-aging needs, I'm still nuts over anything and everything they make and will not give up that dab a little of something, a serum, a cream, anything(!) every time I go to bathroom. OH, I also keep the serums in my coin holder in my car and I'm not giving that up either...Sorry!
Oh, and it's selling for $140 in spas nationwide, that's for two products, so it's totally wallet friendly.
YON-KA Advanced Optimizer:
It's a firming & lifting program, a duo of Serum and Creme (packaged together), you apply the serum first, then layer the creme on top (to face and neck).
What's unique about it is that it uses the groundbreaking technology of pure flower peptides, which no other skincare line uses.
Hibiscus flower peptides in the Serum have been proven to increase collagen production 23% (that's crazy high!) And increase production of GAGs(Glycosaminoglycans) by 294%.
White Lupine peptides in the Creme have been proven to slow down the breakdown of the support tissues in the dermis.
Both products also contain Hyaluronic Acid (very hydrating), horsetail extract (firming), and marine collagen (fills out superficial lines and wrinkles). The Serum also contains soy peptides (help the support tissue) and the Creme has milk proteins and shea butter (very nourishing).
So you're increasing production of collagen and other support tissues while slowing down their breakdown - talk about turning back time!
On top of it, your skin is left super hydrated, smoothed out and nourished.
Advanced Optimizer is $140 in spas nationwide (2 products, so it's totally wallet friendly).
Here's MORE!!
UseageUse serum morning and night followed by the creme. HERE'S WHERE YOU CAN FIND THIS NECTAR OF THE GODS!

Ric Pipino, THANK YOU for introducing me to this phenomenal line of hair products.
When does a hair product actually DO what it says it will? Especially in the deep conditioning treatment department? Uh, from my experience, next to never.
