June Jacobs Perfect Pumpkin Peeling Enzyme Masque

 

If you're looking for a treat for your skin, look no further than June Jacobs Perfect Pumpkin Peeling Enzyme Masque.  This detoxifying spicy enzyme masque smells delish and is designed to target and exfoliate surface skin cells while detoxifying skin and stimulating cellular turnover.  The result?  Skin that glows and is comfortably hydrated.

This is the time of year when skin can get dull and ruddy.  There's less humidity in the air and skin needs more nourishing moisturization.  June Jacobs Perfect Pumpkin Peeling Enzyme Masque is a blend of antioxidants, Vitamin A and Sodium Hyaluronate to promote cell turnover, protect and moisturize skin. Because this is an enzyme-based exfoliating treatment, you might feel a slight tingling on application. This masque is not recommended for use by people with sensitive skin.

One of the reasons I love the June Jacobs line is that the products really perform, while at the same time giving you a spa-like treatment at home. 

June Jacobs Perfect Pumpkin Peeling Enzyme Masque retails at $78 and is available at prestige spas nationwide, at www.junejacobs.com and at SkinStore.com.

MAC Volcanic Ash Thermal Mask

Prepare for the shock: MAC Volcanic Ash Thermal Mask is a little unsettling. Not in texture; it feels like a normal skincare product.  But applying a skincare product that is dark black to your skin?! I couldn't help but wonder if I'd be able to remove it (I was). Although it's rather jolting the first time you do it, the results are so worth it!  MAC's Volcanic Ash Thermal Mask is part of the new Style Black Collection.

You apply MAC Volcanic Ash Thermal Mask to a freshly washed face, and as you do, you'll notice a warming sensation.  The mask itself is black--and it stays black--the entire time the treatment is on your face. I found I needed to use quite a bit of product to adequately cover my skin. Leave it on for 10-15 minutes and then rinse off.  When you rinse, the mask warms again.

Bulgari Gem Essence Skincare

Bulgari, a name synonymous with extraordinary gemstones, has taken that knowledge and developed a luxury line of skin care, Bulgari Gem Essence Skincare.  The Cosmetic Research Department of Bulgari, based in Switzerland, was created to bring together dermatologists and other experts to create exceptional skin care treatments based on the the natural properties of precious stones and latest technology.  Who better?

The key ingredient of Bulgari skin care is Bulgari Gem Essence; a combination of gems in liquid and powdered form.  The gems use four extracts of fine and precious stones that were chosen for their beneficial effects on the skin--sapphire, malachite, tourmaline and citrine.

Sunday Night Beauty Rituals

Do you have a Sunday Night Beauty Ritual?  A weekly beauty or in-home spa treatment that you do once a week?  Every Sunday night (without fail), I do a mask.  I find that applying a mask can be a great anti-aging treatment, usually providing deep exfoliation or firming benefits.  And the other benefit is that it allows me 10-15 minutes of uninterrupted time to catch my breath and relax.

These are the tested, tried and true masks in my Sunday night rotation:

Elemis Pro-Collagen Quartz Lift Mask:  This gentle cream mask helps to restore firmness and elasticity to the skin.   A White Clay base absorbs impurities while the mineral Quartz, along with with marine extract Padina Pavonica, anti-oxidants Moringa Oil and Argan Tree Oil help to increase hydration, improve elasticity and reduce crepiness.  Elemis Pro-Collagen Quartz Lift Mask retails at $75.00 and is available at Bergdorf Goodman, select Nordstrom doors, NORDSTROM.com and www.timetospa.com.
