All the words I like to hear when I want to feel good:) Available at www.junejacobs.com

Mario Badescu Seaweed Cleansing Lotion

I go with Mario Badescu years ago in New York City. I remember ‘it’ was the it spot to get pampered and get great facials for my co-workers on the trading floor in midtown Manhattan. I even once got a special treat to get a facial done at the Mario Badescu spa in New York City and it was quite a pleasant experience. This is almost 9 years ago my friends!

More recently, I’ve been using the Mario Badescu Seaweed Cleansing Lotion in the evening after I cleanse my face to get my face nicely toned, or sometimes in the mourning before my shower in those days when I think I didn’t get a good face cleansing the night before. This cleansing lotion is gentle even if you keep reapplying with a cotton pad. Formulated with Aloe Vera, Algea Extract, and Witch Hazel which seem like just simple and classic ingredients for your skin. BTW, after a quick trip to the local Scottsdale ULTA here in Arizona I’ve discovered that they carry the Mario Badescu skin care line. Perfect!

La Roche-Posay Rosaliac Gelee Micellar Make-up Removal Gel

I’m always on the look out for great makeup removers. I like the process of removing my makeup before bed easy, clean , and very simple. This is why I love La Roche-Posay Rosaliac Gelee Micellar Make-up Removal Gel, $24.50. It literally feels like water on your face, maybe because one of its ingredients is actually La Roche-Posay’s Thermal Spring Water? Skin feels fresh as soon as you apply this makeup remover on your face. It’s fragrance-free, not oily, and very simple to remove or wipe off. Which means, there isn’t a residue left after you apply. Do you know the feeling? Major plus!!  It felt gentle and didn’t irritate my skin. OK to remove eye makeup as well. And, it’s available at CVS *.

Fall Skin Care Tips

Glow for It. Here is how to Maintain a Clear Complexion for Fall: Expert skin care and makeup advice for bright skin year-round.

Healthy-looking skin never goes out of style; though darker makeup and matte complexions appeared on the fall 2009 runways clean, glowing faces made their mark too. With autumn in full swing, however, it’s no wonder that maintaining a bright, luminous look may be proving difficult. But don’t let the change in seasons get you down—there are ways to battle the cold and wind and keep your smooth skin intact.

Fight Back Against Flakes: Wearing a liquid foundation is a great way to achieve a dewy glow—but if you apply it over dry, flaky skin the results can be less than satisfactory. For a quick fix, Nicholas Perricone, MD, FACN recommends using a toner formulated with alpha lipoic acid and DMAE, “two excellent antioxidants that act as natural anti-inflammatories.
