Get All You Need With Presciptives New 24-Hour Moisturizers
Introducing All You Need+ Continuous Action 24-Hour Moisturizers SPF 15 by Prescriptives.
Nourish, revitalize and protect skin with Prescripives All You Need+ SPF 15 for Normal Skin. This lightweight moisturizer delivers 24-hour hydration for smooth, healthy, luminous skin-all day long. A cocktail of fruit and botanical extracts creates a veil of antioxidant protection, while broad-spectrum SPF 15 helps shield skin from the sun’s damaging rays.
Time-released ingredients provide continuous moisturization to refuel skin throughout the day, as surface-cell regenerators gently exfoliate to reveal softer, more radiant skin. Dermatologist tested. Ophthalmologist tested. Nonacnegenic. Oil-free.
The Technology: Moisture complex keeps moisture locked in to provide continuous 24-hour moisturization. Grapeseed, Scutelleria, Mulberry Root and Yeast Extract help brighten skin and even skin tone for more radiant, even-looking skin. An antioxidant blend of Resveratrol, Grapeseed Extract, Rosemary Extract, Pomegranate Extract, Citi Reticulatae Peel Extract, Euk-134, and Goji Berry helps protect skin to help reduce free radical damage.
Skin Smoothing Complex with Glucosamine and Clary Sage help exfoliate skin. Hexapeptide helps skin boost its natural collagen production to reduce the look of fine lines. Sunflower Seed Cake, Barley Extract, Cucumber Fruit Extract and Muru Muru Butter help strengthen skin’s lipid barrier. Caffeine, Sucrose and Brazilian Red Algae soothe and calm the appearance of irritated skin.
Also included in the All You Need product line by Prescriptives: Prescriptives All You Need+SPF 15 for Drier Skin, and Prescriptives All You Need +SPF 15 for Oilier Skin.
Available: Beginning June 2008 at all Prescriptives counters nationwide, www.prescriptives.com and Holt Renfrew in Canada.
Suggested retail price: 1.7 oz $39.50 U.S. / $53.50 Canada.
Have you seen the Natural Seal?
As the demand for “natural” personal care products – such as lotions, balms and shampoos – continues to soar, manufacturers are responding with a host of new products. Some are natural, some aren’t. But how is a shopper to know? Until now, consumers had no idea what was truly natural since there was no standard definition of the term used by industry.
That is no longer the case. To end this confusion and help consumers, the Natural Products Association announced on 6/4/2008 a new certification program which defines natural and includes an easily-identified seal. Shoppers can expect the seal to begin appearing on certified personal care products such as Aubrey Organics, Badger Balm, Burt’s Bees, California Baby, Farmaesthetics, Trilogy Fragrances, and Weleda in the coming months.

Pampers Sensitive Wipes Remove Makeup
There are many fancy ways to remove your makeup, such as: lotions, oils, and special wipes. But if you want to stick to the simplest way to remove makeup, Pampers Sensitive Wipes for babies, yes I said it-for babies-will do the job just fine.
Pampers Sensitive Wipes are perfect, especially at night when you can’t be bothered getting a whole sink wet with water just for the sake of a clean face. These wipes by Pampers remove makeup quickly and efficiently, they are gentle on the skin, and are fragrance free. If they are good enough for a delicate baby’s skin they are good enough for you.
Pampers Sensitive wipes are made with chamomile and pure water, and milk essentials. They are hypoallergenic, and gentler than a washcloth and water. And the price is right: around $5.00 for one pack.
