Marta’s Favorite Toners: SAMPAR, Kiehl’s, ARCONA
I would like to share with you some of my favorite toners for this week:
SAMPAR Skin Quenching Mist rose & geranium: An alcohol-free spray-on toner which you can spray morning and night to face, neck and eyes. I’m not ready for my day unless I spray this invigorating mist by SAMPAR. The Scent: a very delicate rose. Active ingredients: cornflower, orange blossom, and linden flower waters, essential oil of geranium; extracts of centaury, mint leaf, shea butter and plant sugars; rose and violet absolute; as well as essential oils of camomile, geranium, ylang-ylang and rose. It wakes my skin up and keeps it hydrated, $42. Available at www.3graces.com
Kiehl’s Rare Earth Pore Refining Tonic with Amazonian White Clay: You need to shake the bottle to let the white clay mix well. The Amazonian White Clay works wonders to refine my pores and get rid of shine and oil. I love to use it after shower in the morning to clean any makeup residue, and whenever my skin feels a bit oily and clogged, $20.50 for 8.4 fl. Oz. / 250ml.

Skincare: Best Facial Cleansers
On my recent trip to New York City I’ve discovered some great new skincare brands and products, and I’m very excited to share them them you.
I love cleansing my face before bed and especially in the morning. I look for cleansers that are not too greasy or too irritating. I also want my cleanser to work effectively in removing makeup and refreshing my face.
Here is Marta’s top face cleansers for this week:
Fresh Soy Face Cleanser Extra Gentle For Face And Eyes: Love this cleanser. It’s very gentle, smells a bit like cucumber which is quites relaxing. It leaves my skin fresh, clean, and ready for my day. More great stuff: it contains high concentration of soy proteins packed with amino acids and antioxidants. SRP: $15 for 1.7 oz. $38 for 5.1 oz. Available at www.fresh.com & Sephora.com
Peter Thomas Roth Gentle Foaming Cleanser: Cleanser and makeup remover in one, with wheat amino acids and vitamins A C & E. This cleanser is soap-free, sulfate-free, alcohol-free, and fragrance free. A very gentle cleanser for anyone, especially if you have sensitive skin or like your products green. SRP: $32. Available at www.peterthomasroth.com & Sephora.com
Get The Look: Vera Farmiga at The Orphan Premiere
The night before the big Orphan premiere, Vera Farmiga visited the ARCONA facial studio in Santa Monica and received their signature Facial Contouring & Enzyme Peel – her skin glowed.
Vera Farmiga’s makeup look was created by celebrity makeup artist Tina Turnbow Inspired by Vera’s gorgeous ivory Versace gown and her beautiful glowing skin, Tina created a soft look using gold and peach tones, with a shot of orange on her lips.
Skin: Tina prepped Vera’s skin by first cleansing it with ARCONA’s Triad Pads. She then spritzed ARCONA’s Mineral Magic and applied ARCONA’s Peptide Hydrating Complex to hydrate her skin thoroughly. “I loved using ARCONA’s Mineral Magic on Vera’s skin. It gave it a nice luminescent quality!” said Tina.
Foundation: Because Vera’s skin had a natural glow, Tina kept the coverage to a minimum by using ARCONA’s Sunsations Mineral Makeup in Ivory Seychelles.
Cheeks: Tina used Tarte Cheek Stain in Tipsy to add light peach tones to her skin.

Celebrity Esthetician Renée Rouleau
Hot weather, salt water, humidity and chlorine take their toll on our skin during the summer months. Here’s some of my summer skin care tips and solutions for keeping your skin safe and beautiful all summer long.
1. Wearing sunscreen everyday will significantly cut back on accumulative sun damage:
Recent information from the UCLA skin research department indicates that 78% of all the sun damage incurred in a lifetime is from incidental exposure! You may say “I’m not out at all during the day” but just walking to your car, and even driving in your car will expose you to unnecessary sun damage. Windshields do nothing to protect you from UV rays! Wear a moisturizer that contains a sun block with a minimum of SPF #15. Apply it in the morning so you’ll be covered all day! Try Renée Rouleau Daily Protection SPF #30…
