Hollywood’s leading ladies such as Zoe Saldana and Demi Moore stepped onto the red carpet at Oscars 2010 looking gorgeous and glowing from head to toe, showing no signs that they have been effected by the winter weather that has left the rest of us and our skin in need of rescue.

In an easy 4 steps, anti-aging skin care specialist Dr. Adrienne Denese gives you the answer to how celebs shed the dry, dull skin of winter and how you too can achieve the same red carpet radiance!

How-to achieve radiant skin by Anti-aging Expert Dr. Adrienne Denese:

STEP 1: EXFOLIATE

It is important to get rid of dead skin cells; they are what make your skin look dead and old.  They have a rough texture so they block out skin’s natural radiance and that natural glow. If you self tan, you need a freshly exfoliated canvas. Otherwise the self tan will come out to be blotchy. This applies for face and body alike. Product Suggestion: Dr. Denese Damage Reversal Pads, $45 (60 pads)

STEP 2: MOISTURIZE

You must protect your skin from moisture loss which damages skin by moisturizing once a day. Product Suggestion: Dr. Denese Wrinkle RX Deep Wrinkle Environmental Shield Serum, NEW

STEP 3: BRONZE:

Few of us realize that every real sun tan we get during the summer will translate into several actual permanent lines on our face. Try a non streak self-tanner. Some self tanners are so advanced and so different from all other self tanners on the market that it truly gives you the look of an actual tan. Product Suggestion: Dr. Denese Glow Younger Self-Tanning Gloves, NEW

STEP 4: PROTECT

All dermatologists would agree that the single worst enemy of your skin is the Sun. Nearly everything that you do not like about your skin: lines, wrinkles, age spots, enlarged pores, loss of firmness, red capillaries on your nose and cheek, loss of elasticity, all has to do with cumulative sun exposure. Daily SPF broad spectrum protection is imperative, even if it rains. Product Suggestion: Dr. Denese HydroShield Tinted Moisturizer SPF, NEW

CHANEL introduces new skincare for Spring: CHANEL Hydramax + Active Nourishing Cream for Dry Skin & hydramax + Active lip care, and UV Essentiel Multi-Protection Daily UV Care SPF 50.

CHANEL Hydramax + Active Nourishing Cream for Dry Skin & hydramax + Active lip care

Hydramax + Active Nourishing Cream for Dry Skin: Extremely dry skin not only lacks moisture at the heart of cells, it also lacks lipids — nutrients that form a protective barrier that maintains and controls skin’s hydration levels at the surface and deep within the epidermis. To answer the special needs of dry skin, CHANEL Research reveals the latest addition to the HYDRAMAX + ACTIVE Collection: HYDRAMAX + ACTIVE Nourishing Cream for Dry Skin.

At the heart of the HYDRAMAX + ACTIVE Collection is Ceratonia PFA*, an exclusive natural ingredient that acts on Matriptase, an enzyme integral to the production of Natural Moisturizing Factor — filaggrin fibers that perform like natural sponges to retain skin’s moisture and restore the naturally occurring dynamics of skin hydration.

HYDRAMAX + ACTIVE Nourishing Cream for Dry Skin combines the immediate nourishing and protective benefits of Shea Butter with the deeper continuous action of Rosemary liposomes. The natural synthesis of lipids is boosted from within and the skin’s natural defenses against dehydration are strengthened. Intensely moisturized and protected, the skin is softer, more supple and soothed, and can delight in a newfound, long-lasting feeling of comfort.

hydramax + Active lip care: 

To soften, smooth and comfort dry, delicate lips — an area that loses hydration three times faster than anywhere else on the face — CHANEL Research offers a long-lasting solution: new HYDRAMAX + ACTIVE Lip Care. This highly efficacious lip treatment, specifically formulated for intensely parched lips, utilizes Ceratonia PFA, along with Shea Butter and Cottonseed Oil extract, to deeply hydrate, nourish and help repair. Soft, supple and deeply moisturized, lips look sensuously plumped and perfectly smooth, with a beautiful satiny finish.

*PFA: Polyfractioned Active. An ultra-pure, ultra-powerful ingredient created through an exclusive purification technique developed by CHANEL.

HYDRAMAX + ACTIVE NOURISHING CREAM FOR DRY SKIN, $72.00 for 1.7 oz. jar
HYDRAMAX + ACTIVE LIP CARE, $45.00 for .35 oz. jar

UV Essentiel Multi-Protection Daily UV Care SPF 50

To preserve skin’s youthfulness and beauty, it needs daily protection against environmental aggressors: stress, free radicals, pollution and UV rays responsible for hyper-pigmentation and photo-aging. Skin’s guardian angel, UV ESSENTIEL Multi-Protection Daily UV Care SPF 50 is a year-round must-have, providing skin with invisible daily protection in an oil-free, ultra-lightweight and ultra-effective formula.

A free-radical and anti-pollution shield with a Vitamin E derivative and plant extracts empowers UV ESSENTIEL Multi-Protection Daily UV Care SPF 50 to safeguard skin against damaging free radicals generated by pollutants. The unique formula also contains Licorice Root Extract and a highly effective combination of UVA and UVB filters to help diminish and prevent the appearance of dark spots and signs of premature aging.

A weightless silky texture makes UV ESSENTIEL Multi-Protection Daily UV Care SPF 50 the perfect choice under makeup. Upon application, it ‘disappears’ into skin, delivering a sheer, non-oily, shine-free finish — with the immediate sensation of softness and comfort.

BENEFITS:

• SPF 50 with UVA and UVB protection
• Oil-free
• Prevents and diminishes dark spots
• Free-radical and anti-pollution shield

CHANEL Haute Couture Spring/Summer 2010

Just tried and loved Michael Todd Cosmetics KNU Anti-Aging Tri Complex moisturizer, $130. It is THE perfect moisturizer for the cold and dry winter months because it is thick and super hydrating. Did you know that this cream has a high concentration of purified snail secretion? According to the Michael Todd website scientists have concluded that this same substance can aid many human skin disorders because of its regenerative properties. Who knew? I’m an Escargot fan, that means I eat snails. Really, I love Escargot. Does this also mean it’s good for me? Food for thought for sure. Nevertheless, my first reaction to KNU Anti-Aging Tri Complex was: “WOW”.

The following are Marta’s picks of her favorite skincare products for face and body & also perfume 2009 ! Please note that the numbers don’t go in order of importance.

We’ve scooped these look-fresh tips from the Bloggerati to keep you focused on getting your hands on that egg sandwich–not on how pale and tired you look.

Not mentioned in the article I would like to add Marta’s must-have to wake up face in the morning AmorePacific Moisture Bound Skin Energy Hydration Delivery System, $35. I’m addicted to this stuff. I’m already finishing the bottle, almost time for next one. Available at sephora.com

ENESSA’S New Organic Shea Body Souffle features African Shea Butter with natural nutty scent, citrus oils & no artificial colors or preservatives, moisturizing dehydrated CHAPPED skin in cold dry weather.

I like to use the ENESSA Organic Shea Body Souffle on small areas at the time such as my legs, elbows and feet. It smells a bit like citrus and clean. And my skin keeps super soft for hours.

More about ENESSA Organic Shea Body Souffle: A moisturizer that has that feels like velvety smooth butter with colorful textured grains, the new Shea Body Souffle by Enessa is a luxurious blend of organic oils that richly moisturize dehydrated, chapped skin in cold or dry climates.

“Our organic Shea Body Souffle differs from the many shea butter products available to consumers because we use all natural, unrefined African shea butter with certified organic coconut oil, which is rich in essential fatty acids and vitamins and help heal and nourish the skin,” states Enessa Skincare founder Michelle Ornstein. “This unrefined Shea butter is manufactured under fair trade and organic guidelines. This means it is not extracted using hexane or other chemicals, bleached, or deodorized, and we do not add preservatives, yellow coloring agents–natural or artificial–or other additives. We bring it to you fresh in its purest and most natural state, which is why it has a beigish, light brown color.” The shea nuts come from wild shea trees over a vast area in central and northern Togo, a West African country located between Ghana and Benin, where cooperative members use centuries old extraction techniques to produce this truly exceptional quality shea butter.

“Like all premium unrefined shea butters, it has a characteristic nutty scent, which disappears after a few minutes when rubbed on skin,” adds Ornstein, who recommends it for moisturizing hands, feet, cuticles, and any other rough spots such as the elbows, heels and feet. “Unrefined shea butter is a very versatile active ingredient for skin and hair care products, and has excellent anti-aging, soothing and moisturizing properties.”

Other ingredients in this delicious body moisturizer include: Vitamin E and organic red palm oil, which together render the smooth velvety texture, helping to regenerate the skin; and a refreshing citrus blend of mandarin, petitgrain, and litsea cubeba essential oils, which calm and sooth the skin, while invigorating the senses.

Available in a 3 oz. Jar, the product retails for $35.50 online at www.enessa.com . A similar version of this Shea Body Souffle is available specifically for babies. It can also be ordered via toll-free number at (888) 4-ENESSA. The complete Enessa skincare line includes facial cleansers, organic hydrosols, organic facial nourishments, seaweed nourishing gels, exfoliant and facial masks, anti-aging products and special treatments.

Holiday parties are just around the corner and after a year of pinching pennies, we all deserve to kick back and enjoy, while looking absolutely fabulous! So maybe you have to skip that new dress – no problem! You can get a stunning new look simply by heading to your nearest drugstore. Here are some tips on how to hit those holiday parties looking (and feeling) like a million bucks by spending only a few:

Beauty is really skin deep

Want to look younger? Brighter? Beautiful? Don’t we all… And now we can! RoC’s new Multi-Correxion Skin Perfecting System is clinically shown to transform skin in just two weeks! The three-step system has all you need for you daily skin routine and works to combat multiple signs of aging so you get transformational results.

Smooth skin from head to toe

With the holidays come cold, dry weather and skin can easily become dry and cracked, which can be painful (not to mention unattractive). Keep skin hydrated and healthy looking with an intensive treatment like LUBRIDERM Intense Skin Repair Ointment.

Be prepared

Something always creeps up the night before a big party, and if you’re acne prone, that something usually is a big, ugly zit. Fortunately, on-the-spot treatments work better than ever today. Try Clean & Clear’s newest Advantage Mark Treatment, which not only works to reduce acne, but also fights post-acne marks.

Pucker up for the Mistletoe

You never know when you’ll be caught under the mistletoe, so being prepared is a must. Neutrogena MoistureShine Gloss is packed with moisture-boosting emollients and nurturing botanicals that are clinically proven to improve the health, softness and smoothness of lips, so there will be no need for panic when receiving that surprise holiday kiss.

Keep good habits

After a night on the town, we all just want to hit the hay – but if you want to keep your skin glowing, wash your face first! Purpose’s tried-and-true Gentle Cleansing Wash removes oil, dirt and makeup. The soap-free formula is gentle enough for even sensitive skin (as well as the delicate eye area!) and won’t irritate or dry out skin.

Drink up!

No, I don’t mean eggnog! Your hair takes a real hit during the holidays – between the cold weather and the excessive styling, you need to keep your hair hydrated to ensure it looks healthy and stays soft. Use a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner that quenches the hair. Try Aveeno’s Nourish+ Moisturizing Shampoo and Conditioner, which brings damaged hair back to life in just three washes. With its Nourishing Wheat Complex plus Hydrating Oat, Aveeno’s Nourish+ Moisturizing Shampoo and Conditioner replenishes vital moisture as it zeros in on the weakest parts of the hair that need it most.
