You know that feeling when you use a product and you get lost in the scent or experience that it brings?! You close your eyes and picture yourself in the most relaxing, happiest place you can think of. If you enjoy products that smell great then make a date with Diana B.
I love all of the products in my daily regimen which keep my skin under control and beautiful but sometimes it’s nice to go outside the norm and try something different. What a wonderful way to escape with some very unique shower gels, sugar scrubs, and body lotions. I had the chance to try one of the scrubs out for myself and it was delicious. It smelled wonderful, and had my skin feeling quite amazing afterwards. I pictured myself on a tropical vacation or even a candy shop except it was one that I wouldn’t be getting a tooth ache from! The scrub I tried was the Peach Fangipani Sugar Scrub and was suitable for even my sensitive skin. The other scrubs available offer to help improve the elasticity, brighten the skin and even offer antioxidant protection on top of their exfoliating properties. If you don’t like using scrubs, then you should try one of the bath gels. They are silky and can either be used alone in your shower or mixed in the tub for a frothy bubble bath. They can even been used as a shaving gel!
To finish off your ultimate sensory experience, try one of the body lotions the line has to offer. They are ultra smooth, contain a high amount of natural minerals to nourish the skin with and will help bring your skin back to life. Not to mention they smell just as great as the bath products! So if you are looking for a little something extra to sweeten up your day, these goodies would be a great fix.

With the cold weather upon us, our skin can often become dehydrated. Adding a hydrating toner to your usual skincare regimen can be very beneficial. Toners are great for removing any residue after cleansing and balancing the skin. To help fight off dehydration, try a hydrating toner or mist that is alcohol-free and contains ingredients to help your skin stay hydrated throughout the day.
Even an oily skin can benefit from using a hydrating toner since dehydration is a problem that affects all skin types. When the hydration level in the skin is properly balanced, your skin will not overproduce oil to compensate.
Here are a few of my favorites:
Juara Tamarind Tea Hydrating Toner – The tamarind is used to increase hydration in the skin throughout the day, while the blend of white, green & black teas provide excellent antioxidant protection. For oily skin types this can even be used in place of a moisturizer.
Kinerase Hydrating Antioxidant Mist – This can be used both as a toner after cleansing and as a rehydrating mist throughout the day. It contains Hyaluronic Acid to help the skin retain moisture all day long.
ARCONA Triad Pads – These multitasking gems are my go to items after a long day. These pads are infused with cranberry toner and are great for removing makeup and leaving the skin feeling hydrated and nourished. They cleanse, tone, hydrate and provide antioxidant protection all in one little swipe.

Teenagers are not the only ones that have oily skin. As we age, hormonal levels fluctuate which causes changes in our skin. Some women experience more oil production later in life as hormones change entering perimenopause and menopause. With onset of hot flashes, an oily complexion is only accentuated. Although hormonal transitions are unavoidable, here are a few of our highest rated mattifying moisturizers that will help combat unwanted shine.
Dr. Brandt Pores No More Anti-Aging Mattifying Lotion is a top seller addressing anti-aging concerns while taming excess oil. The lotion is infused with retinol and apple stem cells to improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Pore size and shine are also greatly reduced.
L’Occitane Red Rice Ultra Matte Face Fluid rebalances oil production with red rice vinegar, zinc, red rice powder. Excess shine is reduced immediately and oil production lessens with continued use.
Another great option is Vichy Normaderm Pro Mat which instantly mattifies the skin while providing UV protection and acts as a great make up base.
If you are already a fan of Clarisonic then you may have heard the buzz surrounding the Clarisonic Opal Sonic Infusion System. The new Clarisonic Opal is designed for the delicate skin around the eye area and is the perfect compliment to the Clarisonic Skin Brush.
Here are some of the benefits reported in clinical studies:
• Visibly improves fine lines, under–eye puffiness and dark circles
• Immediately hydrates, leaving eye area feeling refreshed and energized
• Eye area looks younger and smoother
• Brighter appearance of eye area
• Skin is firmer with a noticeable improvement in elasticity
• Benefits improve with continued use

Pearl has been notably used in beauty and skincare products for centuries. Often referred to as mother of pearl cream or concha da necar, its use can be traced back as early as the Ming Dynasty of ancient China and Inca Empire of Peru.
There are two main ingredients found in pearl which make it exceptional for use in beauty and skincare products. Conchiolin, an organic protein helps to remove dead skin cells and deep clean pores. While Nacre, also an organic protein, contains a unique iridescent quality. Nacre has a whitening or brightening effect, reducing the appearance of uneven pigmentation and scaring. The combination of these two ingredients makes the skin look more youthful and vibrant.
We suggest Pevonia Timeless Cream which contains Pearl, Caviar, Escutox, and Retinol for maximum brightening and anti-aging benefits.
