Give your Skin a 3 Day Glow with GlamGlow Tingling & Exfoliating Mud Mask!

A favorite of makeup artists, Glam Glow Tingling & Exfoliating Mud Mask is popular among many celebrities including Natalie Portman, Ryan Seacrest and Nina Dobrev.

"GLAMGLOW is an amazing rapid gentle exfoliant mud mask. Its mud base is dredged from Southern France, home to glamorous Cannes, St. Tropez and Monaco. Its moisturizing collagen synthesis is for both men and women and it revitalizes the user’s complexion for illuminating, brighter radiant skin instantly. TEAOXI® is GLAMGLOW’s continuous time-release, patent-pending technology. It delivers ‘Super-Squalene’ and ‘EGCG Super-Antioxidants’ direct into the mud from the real pieces of tea leaf contained in the mask. The product can be used a couple of times a week or simply when you need GLAM-tastic skin that starts glowing in 10 minutes or less."-GLAMGLOW

When applying I noticed this mask dries rather quick, so I applied it and layered more on.  I thought the tea leaf chunks were a little strange, but they are packed with Antioxidants and Polyphenols.  I would want them blended into the mask, so there are no chunks.  It did not itch or nor did I feel clastriphobic. I rinsed the mask off with warm water rubbing in a circular motion to exfoliate my skin.  This mask contains gentle pumice.

After using this mask, my skin was exceptionally soft, smooth and 5 minutes later I noticed my skin was in fact glowing!  The day after I used the mask, my skin was peeling a little.  A much needed exfoliation, this helped release congested areas on my face. My skin looks more even due to this exfoliation, glow and ingredients!  Day 3 and my skin still has a healthy glow!

Say Goodbye to Hyperpigmentation & Melasma with Cosmelan Depigmentation Peel!

Created by Mesoestetic, Cosmelan has become the new breakthrough treatment for resistant hyperpigmentation.  Effective on Melasma, Brown Spots, Blotchy Skin, Hyperpigmentation, and preventing Hyperpigmentation post-laser/ post peel.  The  Professional treatment consists of 2 phases, followed by a maintenance cream (ensuring continued fading of discoloration and a luminous complexion) and follow up appointments with your dermatologist.

Phase 1:  Cosmelan 1 Mask is applied in office and left on skin for 4-10 hours depending on severity of Hyperpigmentation and skin color.  

Phase 2:  For at home maintenance Cosmelan 2, the mask is removed with Cosmelan Facial Gel Cleanser and followed by Hydra-vital Factor K Cream. 

Advantages of Cosmelan:

• Skin is rejuvenated and brighter with lightening of brown spots in 1-4 weeks.

I am not promoting "skin bleaching".  This peel is for reversing hyperpigmentation to achieve a more even skin tone.

Eye Cream

Kiehl's Line Reducing Eye Brightening Concentrate $41

Eye cream should be introduced into your skin regime in your early 20's.  An eye cream should hydrate, prevent and correct fine lines & wrinkles, correct dark circles.  Dot around your eyes, not too close to eyes and lightly pat in a upward motion. Choose a product that is meant for sensitive skin, as it will be used near your eyes.

Choose a tube or pump, not a jar. A jar risks contamination, whether using clean hands, loses its freshness and active ingredients become exposed to air, jeopardizing the effectiveness of the ingredients. Once the jar is opened, ingredients are exposed to air.  If you decide to purchase a jar, you may transfer the product into a airtight pump or use a toothpick to get product out.

• A gel is perfect for oily, acneic, combination skin and a cream for normal, dry, aging skin. 
• If you have dark circles look for a product with vitamin K, it strengthens capillary walls and helps diminish the appearance of abnormal capillaries. Antioxidants are beneficial to prevent aging and UV damage by fighting free radical activity. 
• Free radicals form from environmental pollution, smoking, UV damage and poor diet. This activity creates signs of aging, fine lines, wrinkles, age spots, loss of elasticity and collagen. Common antioxidants include vitamin c, green tea, copper, vitamin e, vitamin a, alpha lipoic acid, coQ-10. Don't forget to wear SPF 30 everyday.

Review: Control Corrective Clear Med 5%

A strong exfoliating gel that aids in reducing acne breakouts by exfoliating the intracellular cement that clogs the pores.  This gel has superior penetration and reduces inflammation.-Control Corrective

Control Corrective Clear Med 5% kills acne bacteria on site, acne doesn't stand a chance with this product!  This yellowish cream goes to work immediately and only needs 5-10 minutes on skin to start.  Once your skin is used to the cream, you may use it up to a  hour-overnight.  Then you can apply once or twice a day. This solution can cause dryness and your skin will peel.  Peeling is not a bad thing, as it's allowing your pores to become unblocked.  For stubborn pustules I left on my skin overnight and there was a dramatic reduction in the size.  Keep in mind, my skin is oily.  The combination of benzoyl peroxide and sulfur worked well with my sensitive skin.  This has to be the best acne cream I have used.  It is very active and a quick solution for acne breakouts!  I suggest everyone try this for occasional breakouts to full blown acne, its that good. 

• Contains 5% Benzoyl Peroxide to kill acne bacteria & 3% sulfur a anti-inflammatory.  
• Apply cream and leave on or recommended time.  Rinse with white, wet wash cloth.

Active Ingredients: Benzoyl Peroxide 5%, Sulfur 3%. Other Ingredients: Deionized Water, Butylene Glycol, Carbomer, Potassium Sorbate, Phenoxyethanol, Sodium Benzoate, Sodium Hydroxide.

Product Shout Out! Bobbi Brown Face Touch Up Stick

Great for on the go touch ups, Bobbi Brown touch up stick conceals imperfections, acne scars, blemishes and redness.  Awarded InStyle Best Beauty Buy in 2011, this concealer/foundation is a great find at $23.  I personally love Bobbi Brown cosmetics, because her foundation and concealer are yellow based.  This makes for a more natural look.  I apply where I need coverage and PAT in & blend with my fingers.  Bobbi Brown is the ONLY cosmetic line that carries a shade (golden) that almost perfectly matches my skin tone!  Powder is a must to set this product.
 .08 oz $23 available at Nordstrom & Bobbi Brown.

• Creamy full coverage formula.
• Suitable for cheeks, chin, nose and forehead.  
• Great for normal & combination skin types.
