Glytone Acne Treatment Kit

If your skin is anything like mine, sometimes you need a good acne treatment kit!  Glytone is one of the best! The new Glytone Anti-Irritating Formula Acne Kit is designed to deliver optimal efficacy without irritation. The Benzoyl Peroxide and Salicylic Acid is proven to be the optimal combination to efficiently fight acne. 

Glytone Acne is a non-irritating, (perfect for my sensitive skin) non-comedogenic line that features advanced formulas suitable for acne-prone skin.  During your breakout, using the Acne Self-Foaming Cleanser in the mornings and before bed, the Acne Lotion after cleansing (up to three times a day, if needed) and the Acne 3P Gel on the affected areas will miraculously clear up those awful breakouts quickly! 

Glytone Antioxidant Renew Anti-Aging Night Cream contains a unique blend of peptides, antioxidants and free glycolic acid to help reduce the visible signs of premature aging.  Renew works overnight to help refresh and renew your skin's appearance for a smoother, younger-looking complexion!  It's appropriate for all skin types so, if like me, you have super sensitive skin, you can use Glytone Antioxidant Renew!

The Miracle Foundation That Just Got MORE Miraculous!

Looking for a do-it-all foundation that won't melt off during the summer heat?  Like me, I'm sure you are!  I'm excited to report that I have found it - Immaculate Liquid Powder Foundation from Hourglass absorbs oil and camouflages imperfections, while its super smooth, velvet matte finish eliminates the need for powder (which can get heavy on your skin when the temperature heats up!) and touch ups throughout the day! 

During the warmer months I do everything I can to avoid a heavy foundation and try sticking mainly to lightly tinted moisturizers.  Unfortunately those don't always do the trick, leaving blemishes and skin imperfections a little more obvious than I'd like.  Hourglass Immaculate Liquid Powder Foundation is unlike anything you've (or I've) ever tried.  It really is humidity-proof and dries instantly to a long-wearing matte finish.  Even after spending the afternoon in the blazing heat, my skin still looked amazing and not at all oily or shiny.

After surveying hundreds of clients and reviewing Immaculate testimonials, Hourglass commissioned an independent study to document the foundation's astonishing short and long term skin benefits.  Based on a four week study here's a few of the awesome things they found:

  • 100% reported an improvement in overall skin appearance & skin smoothness
  • 100% reported that the product worked without drying skin out
  • 83% reported a decrease in oil production and the need for touch ups (yay!)
  • 80% reported a visible improvement in acne scars
  • 70%  reported visible improvement in acne scars
  • 63% reported a reduction in the severity of breakouts

I'm so glad I found Immaculate Liquid Powder Foundation!  I can't wait for you all to try it and let me know what you think!

Hourglass Immaculate Liquid Powder Foundation can be found in over a dozen different shades at Sephora, Barney's New York, Bergdorf Goodman, Space NK and online!

Rene Furterer Hair Masks Leave You With Hydrated, Bouncy Locks




When once healthy hair becomes dull, brittle, lifeless and difficult to style, it's a sure sign that your strands and scalp have become stripped of natural lipids, Mother Nature's moisturizers.  Along with the daily wear and tear that causes nutrient depletion and moisture loss, lipid deficiency can result from environmental and emotional stress, even illness-which means conditioning treatments need to be super intense to get damaged hair back to it's shiny, soft, bouncy self!

Used after shampooing on damp hair, leave Rene Furterer Karite' intense nourishing mask on your hair for about 5 minutes, weekly, or even several times a week depending on how badly your hair needs this special treat!  You will be amazed at how soft your locks will feel!  And it smells amazing!  Karite' is 100% Silicon, Paraben, Sulfate and Sodium Chloride-free so it won't fade your salon color!

Rene Furterer Carthame gentle hydro-nutritive mask is another awesome, super hydrating hair mask designed to hydrate strands with the essential nutrients they lack for moisture and protection.  Rich in Carthame, Hazelnut oil, Vitamin B5 and a patented moisturizing complex, this mask instantly  hydrates and protects deep within the hair shaft.  Perfect for use on normal to dry hair, this lightweight texture will leave your hair bouncy and radiant.  After shampooing, apply in sections on damp hair and leave in for 2-5 minutes before rinsing. 

Rene Furterer products can be found a fine salons nationwide and at Beauty.com and ReneFurtererusa.com

Turo Skin: For the Active Lifestyles of Today's Man


If your main squeeze is anything my husband, skin care doesn't even register in his brain!  My  husband has been making fun of all of my "lotions and potions" as he calls my skincare products, for years.  He is always complaining about dry skin but won't listen when I tell him he is more than welcome to use my daily moisturizer and night creams and I know it's because he wouldn't be caught dead using anything "girly"!  Thankfully I've found Turo Skin designed just for a man's skin.

I set my husband up with Turo Skin Daily Moisturizing Lotion + Sunscreen, Turo Skin Regenerating Night Cream with Encapsulated Retinol and Turo Skin Protective Lip Balm Treatment with SPF 15.  He's been using all three for the past seven days and I haven't heard him complain about dry skin since!  Luckily the packaging is blue and silver and very manly otherwise my super rugged man would probably have just thrown everything in the trash. 

Since he works outside no less than 12 hours a day, I'm glad he's now protecting his skin with Turo.  The Moisturizing Lotion provides moisture and hydration while protecting against environmental damage.  It also helps sooth irritation caused by razor burn.  Turo Regenerating Night Cream boosts skin elasticity and helps promote cellular turnover with reparative antioxidants, something he doesn't care about but should! 

Instead of his usual Chap stick, my husband has been using Turo Protective Lip Balm around the house and before bed.  I knew I was grasping at straws when I told him to keep in his truck but at least he's using it at home!  It's invisible and matte so there is no glossy shine, a bonus for men!  It helps protect against the outside elements such as the sun and wind.

I'm glad I've found a man-friendly product that my husband will actually use!  For more information on how to get the guy in your life on the skin-care wagon check out Turo Skin's website by clicking here!

Bust Breakouts With No 'Zit' Sherlock Rubberizing Mask from Bliss!


As I've posted before, I love the No 'Zit' Sherlock breakout-busting line from Bliss because it really does work!  The breakout-busting rubberizing mask facial treatment will boost your blemish-battling regimen!  This crazy-looking (it's rubber, after all) mask is a weekly staple if you have pimple-prone skin.  It's unique rubber texture is designed to temporarily envelope skin's surface to purge pores and absorb impurities.  It's packed with pore-de-clogging, oil-absorbing, super-soothing extracts and nourishing, detoxifying seaweed. 




The kit includes 6 packets of the mask, 6 spatulas and 1 scoop.  Just add contents of the packet to a bowl, fill scoop with water and mix with one of the wooden spatulas until you have a smooth paste.  Since it is rubber, you do have to work quickly so you can apply to your face and neck before it starts to rubberize.  Once the mask is on, wait 20 minutes until mask is fully rubberized, then peel it off!  The peeling off part was a bit messy so I suggest laying out some paper towels on the counter before you start peeling that way the chunks that fall won't be all over the place!  Give it a try, you will love it!

Erno Laszlo: Total Blemish Treatment

My thirties have brought me a lot of things, a beautiful home, a loving and hard working husband and even the realization that maybe my mom really is always right.  Unfortunately, my thirties have also brought me pimples!  How I went through my high school years zit-free only to end up with pimples at thirty four is beyond me.  When one of those monsters threaten to ruin my otherwise not-so-bad complexion, I need to be ready for battle.  My latest find is Erno Laszlo Total Blemish Treatment.  This miracle in a bottle, found at Neimans, Nordstrom, Bergdorf's and other fine department stores, addresses the skin, not just the acne.  I had a small eruption of three horrific pimples the other day and immediately dabbed on Total Blemish Treatment.  I've been using it on those three spots for the last couple of days and I can't believe the difference a day makes.  You can hardly even tell I had a zit let alone three in one spot!  Erno Laszlo is a little on the pricey side, at $90, but it is absolutely worth it and will last you a very long time.

Here are just some of the features and benefits you want to know about:

  • Beta Hydroxy Acid and Retinol speed exfoliation and reduce the adhesion of dead cells, helping blemishes drain.
  • Arnica conditions skin, speeds healing and promotes new tissue growth.
  • Panthenol stimulates cellular proliferation and aids in tissue repair.
  • Aloe Vera works as an antibiotic, anti-inflammatory and wound healer.
