Product Review: Prescriptives Instant Gratification Skin Renewal Peel
Prescriptives has just come out with a new skincare product called Instant Gratification ($45). It's a self-heating mask with microbeads that whisk away dead skin, and it promises to combine the benefits of a facial, peel and microdermabrasion—with results equivalent to a 30% glycolic acid peel.
Although I wasn't an immediate fan of Instant Gratification, it's won me over for its simplicity and results.

Product Review: Nars Skin Potent EFA Cream
About a month ago, Nars released a new, highly concentrated, skin-restoring face moisturizer called Lipid Support Potent EFA Cream ($70 for 1.7 oz). This thick, lightly scented lotion is formulated with lipids (Omega-3 fatty acids and ceramides), acai and hyaluronic acid to replenish your skin and to create a more hydrated texture. In turn, this helps aid in skin-cell regeneration and decrease wrinkles and create an overall more supple appearance.
New Product Alert: Mark Skin Care
Mark, Avon's sister brand, is aimed at a younger audience — hence the choice of Lauren Conrad as the spokesmodel. Its target audience is teenagers and early twentysomethings, but after trying its new skin care line, I'm convinced this brand should have a wider appeal.
Don't look for a lot of gimmicks from this line; it's all about good basics such as cleansers, toners, and moisturizers.

Product Review: Maria Galland Gentle Soothing Cream
I had never heard of Maria Galland skin-care products until I went to the Thalazur Thallasothèrapie & Spa in France. It was there where I was introduced to her Gentle Soothing Cream that has significantly changed the overall tone of my skin. For those of you with sensitive skin, I know you can relate to having redness and irritation on your face from just about anything.
