Died and went to exfoliating heaven …

How do we remove those dead skin cells, dirt and all that other icky stuff without damaging our skin? Once again my favorite skincare line, Astara, has come to the rescue with Astara Daily Refining Scrub. Providing the best solution for exfoliation without irritating the skin. Sensitive skin? Use this with a little bit of Astara Botanical Cleansing Gelé to create an amazing lather and alter the level of abrasiveness. Lets not forget I’m all about the pleasing the senses. Its fresh grapefruit essence not only refreshes the skin but the therapeutic aroma HELLO! And the texture has to be my favorite part of the experience, as you rub this onto your fingers you feel the finest grains and I mean toes in the sand fine grains! This scrub is so pure and gentle that it, just like all the other Astara products, can be used interchangeably with all your other skin care lines. The antioxidants, the hydration, the exfoliation, how can you not love Astara?

P.s I must warn you that you might never use any other scrub again! :)

Trailblazing Anthelios

Anthelios just released its’ newest sunscreen. A Mineral one with a SPF of 50. IT is a 100% mineral UV system containing  11% Titanium Dioxide blended in a powerful anti-oxidant complex of  CELL-OX SHEILD. This patented formula protects your skin in two ways. It helps defend against UVA and UVB rays while providing a powerful antioxidant made with Senna Alta, a tropical leaf known to protect skin cells.

This ultra light fluid sunscreen protects the skin without leaving a whitening texture, as many mineral sunscreens tend. With its uniform absorption to the cellular level it leaves skin feeling hydrated and soft. Its matte finish makes it suitable for use under make-up. This revolutionary formula has left the world of sunblock all abuzz as a lightweight mineral sunscreen had yet to be created…

Shake well before using, apply evenly and don’t forget to reapply in after swimming or perspiring.

Glossary & Key Facts:

UVB rays are considered Burning rays.

SPF – “Sun Protection Factor” measures the degree of protection a sunscreen has against UVB rays only.

UVA- rays penetrate deeper into the skin and contribute directly to Aging and skin Allergies.
