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: N.V. Perricone M.D. Ceramic Skin Smoother
With some products, I know right away whether I love it or feel indifferent toward it. Others, like N.V. Perricone M.D.
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.

Want To Look Like Madonna, or at Least Have Skin Like Her?
Just like our bodies need oxygen to be healthy, our skin does too. Enter Michelle Peck, facialist to Madonna, Gwyneth, Jennifer Lopez, Molly Sims, Justin Timberlake and Eva Longoria (just to drop a few names). She started off as a masseuse, however, her career really began to take off when she connected with skincare brand Intraceuticals and began putting her own healing touch on their oxygen treatment called Intraceuticals Infusion.
A Philosophical Approach To Shine-Free Skin
Brand-new from Philosophy is a range of mattifying skincare products called Never Let Them See You Shine. Each of the three items aim to cut down sebum production and reduce the look of oily skin, while leaving your face feeling refreshed. The light blue formulas have a minty, sea-inspired scent and are best suited for those with oily and acne-prone sensitive skin.
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.
Doing Drugstore: Aveeno Positively Ageless Warming Scrub
I had one severe case of dry, peeling skin, and I had it bad. My chin and mouth area were flakier than both Heidi and Spencer Pratt combined. I needed one mighty fine exfoliator, and I needed it stat.
Doing Drugstore: Skin Milk Facial Scrub Exfoliate
I've long lusted after the Skin Milk line at the drugstore, mainly because of the adorably retro and oh-so-wholesome packaging. Now, after trying the Skin Milk Facial Scrub Exfoliate ($5.49), I'm happy to say the brand's appeal is more than superficial. The bargain buy has a gritty yet gentle texture that gets rid of flakes, but it's also nice and foamy, so it's fun to use.
