Here is an interview with Leading Beauty Expert Chizu Saeki Author of The Japanese Skincare Revolution.

Why did you choose the skincare industry for your profession?
When I was 13 years old, I saw Audrey Hepburn in a film catalog, and I was amazed that such a beautiful person could exist. This is what aroused my interest in beauty. I began imitating her looks, and gradually I realized what a wonderful thing it is to become beautiful. I quit the clerical job I had been working and enrolled in a beauty school to help others achieve beauty.

How are Japanese and American women different in their approaches to skincare?
Japanese women generally want to whiten their skin. When I lived in the U.S., I got the impression that Americans are more interested in hair design and don’t get hung up on details-brown spots, open pores, and such. They look to a more holistic kind of beauty.

I’m very excited to share with you a new luxury line of bath and body I’ve just discovered: Priel Dead Sea Luxuries. It is divine:)

I’m very picky when it comes to body lotions. Some body lotions are heavily scented and don’t hydrate that well. Priel Dead Sea Luxuries Body Lotion is my new top favorite. If you are looking for a super hydrating body lotion that also smells very delicate, check out Priel! You won’t stop applying! And did I mention the Priel body scrubs, total luxury!

When I spoke to Gregg Schwartz form Priel he mentioned the amazing feedback they’ve received from very satisfied customers. One customer thanked Priel for helping him heal his very dry elbows. In fact the Beauty Editor for BeauBeau, Shanghai’s #1 Beauty Magazine, was in NYC last holiday season looking for products to introduce to Asia. She discovered Priel at the Grand Central Holiday Fair, and fell in Love with the product. She has told Gregg that Priel is the best quality Dead Sea product on the market.

The Priel product line includes: body lotions, scrubs, body polishers, shower gel, body mist, hand cream, home fragrances, and soap bars.

In addition to shopping on the official Priel Dead Sea Luxuries online store, Priel is available at Henry Bendel in New York City.

More about Priel Dead Sea Luxuries: Priel (pronounced Pri-El in biblical Hebrew – “the fruit of God”) was inspired by the desire to create a luxury line of bath and body products of unprecedented quality and uncompromising standards. Their products contain the natural wonders of mother earth: pure salts and minerals from the lowest place on earth, the Dead Sea; the finest olive oil from the Galilee Mountains; and the healing plants and budding scents from the Jordan Valley.

Priel prides itself on providing the purest ingredients utilizing the latest aromatherapy trends. They merge the best of both worlds as you get the healing powers of the dead sea with the rejuvenation from the aromatherapy. Their product line contains ingredients such as Shea Butter, Avocado, Cucumber, Ginseng, Orange Peel just to name a few. Their Vitamin A and D rich formula will keep your skin healthy and protected.

Priel Dead Sea Luxuries come in the following scents, which by the way, may favorites are: Lavender Patchouli and Coconut Lime.

Winter weather inspires us to moisturize our bodies to ward off dry skin but two important extremities often get overlooked: Hands and feet need special care during cold months, too. Skyy Hadley, owner of As “U” Wish Nail Spa, makes sure no finger or toe goes unmoisturized.

To ensure you receive proper care for your hands and feet, step into As “U” Nail Spa in Hoboken, New Jersey, a warm environment where your mind and body can defrost from the harsh weather.  

1. Spa Manicures at As U Wish have a very unique feature. Rather than soaking hands in water, which can actually dehydrate the skin, Skyy softens and moisturizes them by encasing them in a bag of warm silky cream, in a variety of delicious scents.
