Evening Star
RareMinerals - a Nighttime Skin Solution That’s Just Dreamy

By Stefanie Schwalb

I’m a big fan of Bare Escentuals. I started using the line a few years ago, and I am addicted to their Mineral Veil. Even when I test out other makeup on the market, I can’t get out of the habit of adding “the Veil” as the final touch on my face. It adds a finish that’s simply flawless, and I just can’t leave the house without it. That being said, when I heard a new addition to the line was being release—one that was strictly skincare-related—I was eager to test it out. And suffice to say, I may have a new addiction within my beauty arsenal.

Here’s the rundown: RareMinerals Skin Revival Treatment Night is the first-ever product of overnight skincare repair from Bare Escentuals. Although it’s a hued-infused powder, it is not considered a makeup. Instead it’s an innovative way of producing an easy to apply product that delivers the necessary ingredients women want in a nighttime routine. These beneficial beauty elements include Vitamins A and C, Rosemary, White Tea, Honey Brush, Rooibos, Wheat Germ Extract and Emblica Extract, and Aloe Vera Leaf. All of which combined, address our everyday, major beauty concerns—reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles; enhancing firmness and hydration; diminishing pore size, pigmentation spots, and imperfections; and reducing the redness associated with rosacea and other skin ailments.

What’s great about RareMinerals is that you can use it in conjunction with other products that are part of your evening ritual, or you can apply it alone. Either way it is just as effective in producing the results you want through its new mixture of mineral materials that make up its time-released formulation. These ingredients include a patent-pending, 100% organic soil mineral concentrate that is cultivated from virgin soil consisting of a perfectly balanced blend of 72 organic macro and micro minerals found in nature.

And the best part? Application is a breeze. With a flick of the wrist, the Pillow Puff™ applicator dispenses the appropriate amount of RareMinerals. Gently buff it on to cleansed skin in circular motions, and the treatment absorbs deep into the face to provide continual exfoliation and increased cell turnover. RareMinerals provides the same benefits as an exfoliation peel without any irritating effects, which is great for gals with super sensitive skin (like yours truly). Since nighttime is the right time for skin repair by nature, optimum results with RareMinerals are simple to achieve. You can wake up to smoother, firmer, healthier, and more luminous skin in no time.

RareMinerals is non-comedogenic, non-irritating, allergy-tested, dermatologist-tested, and hypoallergenic. It is available in shades of light, medium, tan, and clear to complement every skin tone. It retails for $60.00 and is sold exclusively at Sephora and in Bare Escentuals boutiques. For more information, call 800-227-3990 or head online to www.BareEscentuals.com.
