Clarisonic Skin Care System
If you’ve been more than interested in getting your hands on a Clarisonic Skin Cleansing System but just haven’t taken the plunge, now’s officially the time! You might still be considered silly for waiting so long, but the latest release of the best-selling facial cleansing brush may have just put new meaning to your long wait! The handy to-go version of the gadget, Clarisonic Mia, has just gone ultra-trendy in a snazzy new leopard print. After all, seems like everything is getting the leopard treatment these days, so why not beat your own unsightly spots with the super-cute Jaguar edition of the Mia? There aren’t many things that can get me excited about hygiene, other than the promise of more beautiful skin, so I have to admit I’m a bit of a sucker for festive printed products, even if they function the same as the regular versions. But printed or not, if you haven’t already surrendered to the skin-saving, miracle-working Clarisonic Mia, maybe Santa can help you out this season!

October is here and autumn is in full swing, and what does that mean? It means colorful leaves, football, pumpkins, Thanksgiving – and colder temperatures. Among other things, the fall is often characterized as a season of frequent temperature changes between indoors and outdoors, and harsher winds. This results in more sensitive skin that can become dry, tight, itchy and irritated. Now is the time to start thinking about preventative measures.
For me, my feet gets cold extremely fast and very dry too. To prevent tight and itchy skin, I lather on a thick creme right before I put on socks. I do this at night as well so when I wake up, my feet are soft and smooth.
Eucerin has two fantastic products to help your skin during the fall weather.
· Eucerin Plus Smoothing Essentials Fast Absorbing Body Lotion (16.9 fl. oz.) has a unique formula with buffered alpha hydroxy that gently smoothes and moisturizes to reveal healthier-looking, radiant skin.
· Eucerin Calming Creme (8 oz.) has a gentle, non-greasy formula that combines calming oatmeal and natural emollients that help relieve dry, itchy skin for softer, healthier-looking and more comfortable skin.

Here in San Francisco, late-March showers have brought plenty of early-April sun… as well as allergy attacks galore. But aside from all the doom and gloom associated with the pollen in the air, do you know what else those pesky springtime bees bring? Honey! Aside from drizzling it all over my fro-yo and adding an extra spoonful in my tea, honey actually has seriously successful beautifying properties to boot… and I’m all abuzz with the idea of incorporating it into my skin care routine! After all, it’s perfect for the hot months ahead as it’s a natural hydrator, helping to seal in skin’s moisture and leave skin smooth and supple, and also has plenty of anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties to ensure cleaner, healthier skin. While you can concoct your own honey-infused products and scrubs at home, I prefer to leave the experts to it, so I’ve rounded up some of my favorite honey-infused skin products in the spirit of spring!

This time of year, late summer, reminds me of the sweet smell of figs. The luscious fruit is now in season and I’m gobbling them up by the dozen. I spent many summers at my grandparent’s home in Pasadena where they had abundant fig and avocado trees. Any beauty product that brings back those sweet memories is one that I love to use during the summer months.
Fig infused cleaners and creams have many beneficial properties and contain anti-inflammatory agents and natural moisturizers. Nude’s intense moisture mask ($60 for 1.4 oz at Sephora) is ideal for reviving delicate or dry skin. It contains milk peptides, honey, fig and liquorice to nourish skin leaving it soft. Red Flower’s exotic globally inspired treatments are always a treat. The Red Flower Tangerine Fig Butter Crème ($52 for 5.8 fl. oz. at Apothica.com) instantly transports me to instant relaxation. The Tangerine Fig Butter purifies and detoxes while balancing the effects of the Red Flower Hammam treatments. The Korres Fig Shower Gel ($13.00 for 8.45oz, at Skinstore.com) is a treat of a sudsy fig-scented shower or bath experience. The gel is rich in aloe, vitamin C and E as well as anti-oxidant enzymes. A treat and wonderful scent to simply shower, toss on a summery tunic and flip-flops after a day at the pool. Another gloriously fig-scented shower was is from AHAVA. The Mineral Botanic Velvet Cream Wash – Hibiscus and Fig ($19.50 for 17oz at Skinstore.com) is created for the needs of delicate and very dry skin. The creamy body wash helps to heal dry skin and the fig extract helps to fight inflammation, it also does not contain any SLS or parabens. Enjoy the sweet smell of summer, while we count the days until the arrival of fall…
