Heidi Klum launches a new skin care line called: In An Instant. “The In An Instant collection is my beauty ‘dream team’!”-Heidi Klum. (via www.inaninstant.com ).

Supermodel Heidi Klum has joined forces with beauty experts at Guthy-Renker to create In an Instant , a revolutionary balanced skin care system that detoxifies and guards against premature aging, hydrates dry and sensitive skin and minimizes fine lines for a younger looking complexion.

Every In An Instant product addresses the skin’s varying needs in a different and dynamic way. The system targets exfoliation, hydration, wrinkle reduction, lifting, firming, and pore minimizing – The products work together, synergistically, in a few effortless yet enormously effective steps to give users a complete skincare routine in a minimal amount of time. The 30 day program consists of the following products:

1. Gentle Foaming Cleanser: With its rich-foamy texture and hydrating ingredients it removes makeup instantly and maintains skin’s protective moisture barrier without stripping skin of its natural oils.

I had the luxury to test out for a week, two skincare products from L’Oreal Paris, thanks to Total Beauty: Skin Genesis Serum Concentrate and Skin Genesis Oil-Free Lotion.

I would like to begin by saying that I loved both products and I now incorporate them into my daily skincare routine. This is why: L’Oreal Skin Genesis Multi-Layer Cell Strengthening Daily Treatment Serum Concentrate was packaged nicely in a silver sleek bottle, and dispensed the serum easily without any mess. The actual serum feels wonderful on the skin. When I put it on my skin it felt invigorated and soothed. The results versus the claims the package made matched when it comes to making my skin a bit smoother to touch and texture.

I can’t quantify how much my skin actually built strength and elasticity, and produced collagen, but I did feel my skin seemed more resilient and firm. Ladies, this concentrate is a great value for money. You don’t need to spend lots of cash or travel far to get a great serum like L’Oreal’s Skin Genesis Serum Concentrate (only $19.99). L’Oreal did a fabulous job in creating a product that uses the latest skincare technologies. This serum, however, is scented lightly. Although I would much prefer it was completely fragrance-free the scent didn’t bother my very sensitive nose too much. The scent is not too strong and overpowering, so I can live with it.

Dr. Howard Murad’s Ethnobotany studies reveal nutritional power of Asian super-food Durian for anti aging.

Containing unprecedented levels of essential fatty acids and antioxidants to counteract skin cell degradation, and lipids to retain cellular moisture, Dr. Howard Murad’s recipe for skin health as been discovered in the super-food Durian. It has been used for centuries as a staple in the Asian diet and as an herbal remedy, and now, through the study of Ethnobotany, Dr. Murad, dermatologist, researcher and CEO and founder of Murad Inc. is the first to deliver the benefits of Durian topically in a breakthrough complex called: Durian Cell Reform.

“I have been interested in plants since my days as a pharmacy student studying Pharrnacognosy. Through my research, I’ve discovered that plants are the basis for health and beauty throughout the world. The study of Ethnobotany, using plants, fruits and vegetables that are indigenous to the region, has been the foundation of my research for many years,” explains Dr. Murad. “Working with Pomegranate extract, back in the early 90’s, I understand why it may have originated in certain parts of the world, in the areas where the sun was intense, and the people had an innate knowledge of the sun protection benefits of Pomegranates. I set out to prove their benefits topically and internally with independent research.

Over the last ten years, I began to study the Goji Berry and learning how these nutritionally dense berries were an important source for people living in the Himalayas, with limited access to food. More recently, I’ve discovered the supreme benefits of Durian, a fruit beloved by people in the Philippines, Thailand, and Singapore,” says Dr. Murad. “The Durian fruit represents a significant advancement in the skincare industry, encompassing the perfect fusion of skincare with healthcare. This extract is so unique; it took years to develop a standardized extract that would be compatible in topical and internal formulations.”

The Durian Cell Reform is a complex of Durian extract and Glycolic Acid to deliver results at the cellular level. It provides the skin’s barrier with vital lipids and good-for-you sugars that encourage cell proliferation , boost intracellular moisture and strengthen cell membranes, all while increasing the ability of other essential ingredients to penetrate the skin.

Availability: The Durian Cell Reform will appear in two new product launching in 2008, Intensive Wrinkle Reducer for Eyes and Intensive Resurfacing Peel.
