All of their products are free of artificial colorants, synthetic fragrances and pore-clogging oils. These are a few Bioelements products that we are loving right now!

 

 

 

Bioelements Equalizer is an amazing toner that keeps skin well hydrated and looking fresh long after you spray it on. It will never leave your skin feeling tight or dried out thanks to ingredients like chamomile extract and ginseng. We like to spritz it on in the middle of the day to keep us looking fresh after long hours in front of a computer or a day of shopping for the best products!  $26, spalook.com

 

 

Bioelements Instant Emollient relieves even the driest of lips! We keep this by our bedside to ensure we wake up with soft, hydrated lips. This also works wonderfully as a prep fpr lipcolor- simpy apply when you begin your makeup routine, and by the time you are done and ready to add color to your lips, they are smooth and color-ready. $20, spalook.com

It’s fast-absorbing and comes in a beautiful glass pump that looks fabulous on the counter top- the perfect place to remind us to use it daily. $47, spalook.com 

These days, more than ever, we are in search of the one product that will help us turn back the clock, or at least put our skin’s aging process on pause for a few years. With new technology and scientifically advanced ingredients, products are able to show improvements in the way skin looks and behaves.

 

  Prescriptives NEW Super Line Xtreme Lifting Concentrate promises to give its users more lifted and firm skin with ingredients that include Hexapeptide and antioxidant-rich pomegranate.

We love antioxadants, and know that any product that uses them as main ingredients will be nothing but good for our skin, even if it shows no results. Of course, that would defeat the purpose of using it because if a product claims to firm our skin and make us look younger, we expect to see younger looking, firmer skin. Do you know of any woman who uses a product for one reason when it claims to do another?

In any case, this product sounds promising, and from what we read about it, we know that women will flock to the stores in the hopes of turning the clock back, or at least slowing it down it for awhile. 

 

Super Line Preventor Xtreme Lifting Concentrate is a targeted concentrate that visibly lifts and firms skin. First, see a 49% immediate reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Then, see skin look more lifted by 58% after eight weeks. It even smoothes the appearance of larger wrinkles and deeper forehead lines. Featuring nutrient-rich Xtreme-Lift^TM Complex that works with skin’s natural repair process to boost collagen production. With continued use, skin becomes firmer, more lifted-looking, and experiences an amazing transformation—both immediate and long-term. Non-acnegenic. Ophthalmologist/Dermatologist-tested. $38

While visiting my dermatologist, he suggested I introduce a glycolic face wash into my daily regime. In the past, I read data on glycolic acids to excess, but found I wasn’t sure if all the information offered a fountain of youth or was just your usual beauty hype. With some recent help from a few leading fruit acid beauty brands, I’ve researched and tested everything from cleansers to eye pads, and found positively interesting results.

To begin, let me explain what a glycolic is. Glycolic is arguably the most effective form of Alpha Hydroxy Acid. It is derived from the sugar cane plant and also can be obtained from citrus fruits, grapes and lactic acid (milk). Its purpose in the beauty arena is to refine the texture of skin by softening fine lines and wrinkles. Another benefit of glycolic is its ability to lighten discolorations and acne scars while shrinking the appearance of pores. This all occurs through the process of exfoliation, the shedding of dead skin cells from the top surface of the epidermis. Still, glycolic has yet another advantage as a rapid delivery system for any moisture or treatment based products you apply right after the use of a glycolic based product.

Sound too good to be true? I thought so too, but found some stand out products designed for use from head to toe that are worth your beauty dollar:
 

NeoStrata is basically your no gimmick glycolic regimen. The NeoStrata Company has been around since the 1970s, knocking out one fine line and blemish banishing product after another.
