6 Skin Sensations
March 27, 2012
A selection of products with ingredients that are perfect for a little self-pampering
The Korres line of skin care products comes from the oldest homeopathic pharmacy in Athens, Greece. Created by pharmacist George Korres, they include formulations that are among the most environmentally friendly and skin sensitive available. As an example, the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Korres-Natural-Products-Thyme-Moisturizing/dp/B00128CV8S/" target="_blank">Korres Thyme Honey Mask</a> includes one of the most moisturizing ingredients you can put on your skin — honey — straight from the hives ($27, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/" target="_blank">amazon.com</a>). With real brown sugar crystals, natural humectants and a blend of four oils (evening primrose, sweet almond, apricot kernel and jojoba), among other soothing ingredients, <a href="http://www.barneys.com/Brown-Sugar-Body-Polish/00459705004583,default,pd.html?q=fresh%20scrub/" target="_blank"> Fresh's Brown Sugar Body Polish</a> will leave your skin silky smooth ($65, <a href="http://www.fresh.com/" target="_blank">fresh.com</a>). Pick a scent … perhaps something citrusy like Lime Basil & Mandarin or Grapefruit … something floral like White Jasmine & Mint or Red Roses … or a little fruity like Pomegranate Noir or Nectarine Blossom & Honey. Or maybe you'd prefer a sensual scent like Amber & Lavender or Vanilla & Anise (pictured here). Whatever your pleasure, a cap or two of <a href=" http://www.jomalone.com/templates/products/mpp_family.tmpl?ngextredir=1&CATEGORY_ID=CATEGORY6506&cm_mmc=Google-_-Eng_Eng|Jo%20Malone|TM|Exact|PC-_-Bath%20&%20Body|X|X|X|Bath%20Oils|MPP|OK-_-jo%20malone%20bath%20oil/" target="_blank">Jo Malone's Bath Oils</a> will do more than moisturize your skin — the soft foaming product is pure relaxation. Sensitive skin requires especially special care. <a href=" http://www.espaonline.com//" target="_blank">ESPA products</a>, such as <a href="http://us.espaonline.com/spa-products/products/Hydrating-Floral-Spafresh//" target="_blank">Hydrating Floral Spafresh</a> ($45) and <a href="http://us.espaonline.com/spa-products/products/Hydrating-Cleansing-Milk//" target="_blank">Hydrating Cleansing Milk</a> ($46), nourish and hydrate without aggravation while still giving sensitive skin a deep cleanse to improve problem areas. Target fine lines and wrinkles with the <a href=" http://www.blissworld.com/bliss-thats-incredi-peel//" target="_blank">bliss that's incredi-'peel'! pads</a>. Right before bed, simply wash your face and then wipe it with one of these no-rinse pads. The formula gradually releases powerful levels of exfoliating glycolic acid throughout the night for some serious skin renewal. Plus, it contains soothing witch hazel, licorice extract and hydrating glycerin to balance out the intensity. Each box contains 30 pads — a month's worth of uber skin care ($49, <a href="http://www.blissworld.com/" target="_blank">blissworld.com</a>). Give the skin around your eyes the ultimate TLC with <a href=" http://www.clarisonic.com/shop/opal_sonic_infusion_system//" target="_blank">Clarisonic's Opal Sonic Infusion System</a>. As you gently tap the Opal on the area around your eyes, it dispenses a specially formulated anti-aging serum at 125 sonic movements per second to help maximize absorption ($185, <a href="http://www.clarisonic.com/" target="_blank">clarisonic.com</a>). Everything about <a href="http://www.babor.com/category/baborganic.html/" target="_blank">Babor Baborganics'</a> line of skin care products is natural — right down to the fossil water obtained from a natural glacier melting at Mont Cervin in Switzerland. The <a href="http://www.babor.com/product/408040.html/" target="_blank">Glacier Cleansing Milk</a> ($34), <a href="http://www.babor.com/product/408030.html/" target="_blank">Pure Energizing Skin Water</a> ($34) and <a href=" http://www.babor.com/product/408076.html/" target="_blank">Pure Line Reducing Cream</a> ($84) are just a sample of the items in this truly <em>pure</em> and luxurious skin care regimen.
