REN Glycolactic Skin Renewal Peel Mask

REN Glycolactic Skin Renewal Peel Mask is a great way to kickstart your skin if you've only got 10 minutes and want to look like you've just had a 1 hour facial.  The REN Glycolactic Skin Renewal Peel Mask is a potent formulation of of fruit acids (lactic, glycolic, tartaric and citric) and papain enzyme that exfoliate your skin, stimulate cell renewal and leave it glowing.  It also contains Omega fatty acids to help skin heal and repair.  This mask is recommended for dull, mature and congested skin prone to blemishes and blackheads.  If you've got sensitive skin, however, skip this product.

It's recommended that you use the REN Glycolactic Skin Renewal Peel Mask weekly, which is what I've been doing.  After applying a generous amount on your face (you can use your hands, but I prefer using a brush), you can smell the citrus and feel a slight tingling.  You leave the mask on for 10 minutes and then rinse off with warm water.  The payoff?  Gorgeous, healthy-looking skin!  Because of it's consistency, it makes a great skincare treatment for summer. 

I'm a fan of the REN line; I've loved every product I've tried and the Glycolactic Skin Renewal Peel Mask is no exception.  You can find the REN line online at Bluemercury, Bliss, Sephora and Space.NK.apothecary.

REN Grapeseed Jojoba and Shea Butter Body Cream

REN Grapeseed, Jojoba and Shea Butter Body Cream may have a long and unusual name, but bottom line is, it works!  REN means "clean" in Swedish, however this is a UK-based skincare line.  REN does not use skin-irritating ingredients or harsh chemicals, but does use clincally proven bio actives.  Highly nourishing and hydrating, this body cream exceeded my expectations.  Here's how it works:  the shea butter and jojoba oil are rich in triglycerides; this not only improves hydration, but protects the skin against moisture loss.  The polyphenols in grapeseed oil are antioxidants, protecting the skin from free radical damage.  The products are vacuum packed into space-age looking bottles, so the products stay fresh with a minimum of preservatives.  REN is very environmentally and socially conscious.  You can find the REN Grapeseed, Jojoba and Shea Butter Body Cream at Barneys, Sephora or online at the REN website.
