Buff Out the Old, Usher In the New Skin!

Just because the holiday partying is over doesn’t mean you’ll lose that glowing, picture-perfect skin.

Scrub your way into the New Year by buffing out the old skin layers. The following trio of exfoliants is guaranteed to renew your skin head to toe without breaking the bank:

Guinot Gommage Biologique (Biological Peeling Radiance Gel)
Adapting to your skin’s chemistry, Guinot’s Gommage Biologique combines Shea Butter and AHA (from Green Tea) to remove the dead skin cells. It’s great for sensitive gals, and it’s gentle enough to use on the lip and eye contour areas. I like how it leaves my skin smooth, to the point where I don’t even feel like I need to layer on a moisturizer (but of course you should…).

1.6 oz., $34.00
Available at the following LA spa locations: English Day Spa (323-653-4701), Thibiant Day Spa (310-278-7565) and The Beauty Collection (323-930-0300).

Barielle 60 Second Manicure
If you’re as impatient or busy as me, this one’s definitely for you. Made for on-the-go types, Barielle’s 60 Second Manicure is the perfect solution for a quick mani-pedi fix. Like the little multi-tasker that you are, it blends Dead Sea salts and botanical essential oils (Jojoba, Avocado, Grape Seed, etc.) to banish cracked hands, dry feet and elbows.

Scoop out the mixture, massage into dry areas for 1 minute, and presto – instant spa treatment! Your skin will be refreshed and you’ll feel like a million bucks without spending all that much. Use it once a week, or as many times as you want. You’ll be the envy of all your friends.

5 oz. ($20.00), 9 oz. ($30.00).

DDF Nourishing Buffing Beads
For the body, the DDF Nourishing Buffing Beads body wash is packed with plenty of Jojoba beads, Flax and Primrose oils to moisturize to your heart’s content. Slippery Elm Bark and Aloe Vera are also included to help heal and soothe the skin. A triple threat – it unclogs pores, softens and smoothes the skin. You will feel so pampered you won’t want to leave your bathroom. Try lathering with a mesh cloth to maximize the buffing experience.
