Clarins Spring 2010 Product Launches
I’m in love with the latest Clarins Spring 2010 product launches. Clarins was always my favorite skin care brand for years now and I didn’t quite realize how much my skin was missing it LOL.
Clarins Gentle Refiner Exfoliating Cream, $28: Very creamy exfoliator or face scrub . Smells amazing and is very comforting. I use this exfoliator once a week because the micro grains are a bit on the coarse side. My face feels super refreshed and smooth after use.
Elizabeth Arden Red Door Spa
Few weeks ago I had the luxury to visit the Elizabeth Arden Red Door Spa at the Biltmore Fashion Park on 24th St & Camelback Rd in Phoenix Arizona. Needless to say, Biltmore is one of the fanciest locations in Phoenix and I’m always up for chic trips. Before I tell you my story I want to say: Wow! I had the best facial in a long time thanks to Lucy Olson (can one have such great connection with your facialist? I know I did. Lucy was the sweetest.)
As soon as I walked into the red door spa in Phoenix I felt immediately relaxed. I changed into a robe and comfortable slippers and even signed my form in that very relaxing outfit. The music while having my Antioxidant Defense Facial was so relaxing. Although Lucy was very friendly she insisted on stop talking as soon as my facial began. Isn’t this what we want? She understood what it takes to get relaxed and escape the day to day life.
St. Ives Naturally Clear Green Tea Cleanser and Scrub
Any women have to deal with unsightly acne flare-ups throughout the year. While clogged pores may be one of the most common symptoms of this skincare concern, redness and irritation can be just as much a source of distress.

To the rescue is NEW St. Ives Naturally Clear Green Tea, a line of skin care solutions that gently fights blemishes and reduces redness, while also containing 100% natural green tea which helps to soothe and calm skin. Formulated with Salicylic Acid and 100% natural green tea, this new two-step regimen offers an effective, yet gentle, acne solution.

SK-II Cellumination Essence
I’m all about good skincare lately! I’m in line with my new year’s resolution (remember?) to properly wash my face before I go to bed and moisturize, moisturize, moisturize. My recent skincare helper is SK-II Cellumination Essence $138.

CYTOMIMIC Technology by Johnson & Johnson
A major new advancement in skincare has been unveiled at this year’s American Academy of Dermatology meeting. The meeting is still underway, but the new technology, called CYTOMIMIC Technology from Johnson & Johnson Consumer Companies, Inc. is already proving to be among the biggest news to come out of the AAD meeting.
Building on decades of research into how the body’s electrical field affects skin regeneration, scientists at Johnson & Johnson Consumer Companies, Inc., have discovered how to harness the power of bioelectricity to help improve skin rejuvenation.
Neutrogena Clinical Skin Care
Neutrogena Clinical Skin Care: Arriving in stores next week, and currently available at www.neutrogenaclinical.com, Neutrogena introduces Neutrogena Clinical- a new skin care line inspired by bioelectricity.
What is bioelectricity you may ask? Bioelectricity is the body’s innate electrical signaling system and, as the body ages, diminished bioelectric signals can result in decreased cell-to-cell communication. This decreased communication, in turn, can cause a decrease in collagen production, which leads to visible signs of aging, including wrinkles and sagging skin. Neutrogena Clinical, featuring ion2complex technology, works by facilitating optimal cell-to-cell communication at the surface level of the skin to promote healthy collagen levels.
What’s in it for you? Women with collagen-depleted skin, which is visible as wrinkles and sagging skin, will benefit most from Neutrogena Clinical.
The Neutrogena Clinical Skin Care products:
There are 4 systems. Each comes with an ion2complex Gel Serum and a specifically formulated Activating Moisturizer.

AHAVA Backstage at Yigal Azrouel Fall 2010
My first backstage coverage during New York Fashion Week Fall Winter 2010 began with the Yigal Azrouel fashion show. There I had the pleasure to meet the CEO of AHAVA Michael Etedgi. I have a soft spot for both Yigal Azrouel and AHAVA (which btw means LOVE in Hebrew) because both are from Israel like myself. It was amazing to chat in Hebrew finally with AHAVA’s Michael and to not to get lost in translation.

Have you tried the AHAVA Mineral Hand Cream? It’s amazing and a classic. AHAVA brought a bit of relaxation backstage at Yigal Azrouel Fall 2010 with their Beauty Bar where I received a hand massage, yes, with their fabulous hand cream.
