Whether you need a quick pick me up for you skin or a product to soothe irritation, thermal waters are formulated for all skin types and have many benefits. These unique toners not only help even out the pH level of the skin, but are anti-inflammatory, have antioxidant properties, provide hydration, help reinforce the skin’s natural barrier function, and not to mention they are excellent for sensitive or post procedure skin. You can very easily incorporate one into your skincare regimen after cleansing morning and night, or they can be used when needed throughout the day. I can honestly say this has become a MUST HAVE item for me and I always have one sitting on my desk. I’d like to highlight a few or my favorites:
Do you have a social occasion to attend right after you clock out at work? No problem! Here are a few tips to take your daytime makeup look from the office hours to cocktail hour.
Dust on Jane Iredale Moonglow Golden Bronzer for a “Golden Goddess” look. This is an all over bronzer, made with 24-Karat gold flakes will liven up your complexion and create a flattering, natural glow.
Punch up the color in your cheeks with Stila Custom Color Blush. This amazing one-shade-fits-all powder blush compliments every skin tone.
This innovative line of at-home masks has achieved the bring-the-spa-home experience without any fuss. With each Karuna Treatment Mask box you receive 4 individual treatments for once weekly pampering. The pre-cut mask is made with wood-pulp material which allows for 50% more product to be deposited into the skin. Such a unique design allows the skin to absorb the beneficial ingredients, even after the mask is removed from the skin. There’s no need to rinse the mask off, instead peel the mask off and massage the treatment into the skin for further benefits!
The base to all Karuna mask is the ‘Karuna Beauty Boost’ which consists of extracts of Chinese licorice, aloe vera, chamomile for calming and soothing, vitamin B for its high levels of hydration, and peptides to fight all signs of aging. This blend is created to heal, detox and renew, to bring all skin types to perfect harmony.

The seasons are changing, and we’re happy to embrace the cooler weather and all of the wonderful things that come with it. Some of our favorite autumn classics include pumpkin spice lattes from Starbucks, cozy wool coats, and chilly football games. But our most favorite things about the new season are the new beauty products and trends, of course! Switching seasons also means switching skin care routines and incorporating products that will get us through the cold months ahead. Fall is also a great time to preview holiday gift ideas! Here are some of our newest SkinStore.com launches that are quickly becoming staff and customer favorites.
Clarisonic PLUS Skin Care System with Deep Pore Cleansing in Blue. While you may go into lazy hibernation mode this fall, you shouldn’t let your skin do the same. Your face and body are in need of deep cleansing and exfoliation, and Clarisonic makes it fun and easy. The PLUS system works wonders for the face and the body with its four speed settings, and the new Deep Pore Cleansing Brush Head gets those stubborn trouble areas clean and clear with the push of a button.
ARCONA White Ice will hydrate your skin through the icy cool weather to come, and because it’s now available in a jumbo size you won’t have to worry about running out too soon. This lightweight gel will moisturize deep within the dermis, won’t clog pores, but will protect your skin against environmental assault.
Even though it’ll be chilly out it doesn’t mean you have to hide your neck, your neck will get all of the tender loving care it deserves with StriVectin TL Neck Firming Cream so you’ll want to show off your new swan-like self. The TL Neck Firming Cream uses breakthrough niacin powered technology to visibly restore firmness, shape, and contour while providing an immediate tightening effect.
If you’re looking for a total regimen overhaul then look no further, because our newest addition is sure to be one of our best as Bioelements joins the SkinStore.com family. Since the early 90’s Bioelements products have been dominating the spa world with their innovative formulas that provide clinical-results. Founded by one of the first ever licensed estheticians the Bioelements brand brings innovative skincare technology and the spa experience straight to your home.
Cool weather doesn’t mean skipping sunscreen OR deodorant, so make sure to stock up on both, because getting a sunburn in the middle of fall is completely possible, and unfortunately smelling bad is too. We’re loving the new LaVanilla deodorants because they’re free of all the bad stuff like petrochemicals, phthalates, proplyne glycols, and synthetic dyes. They are chockfull of powerful antioxidants, essential oils, and soothing hydrators.
One of our worst things about cool weather is chapped, red, dry skin. We’re thankful for ATOAPLM! The original ATOPALM Intensive Moisturizing Cream has a cult following, and the new ATOPALM 130+ Concentrated Intensive Cream will surely be a hit. Enriched with olive oil, grape seed oil, and vitamin E, this parabens-free multi lamellar emulsion formula mimics the structure of the skin lipids, healing to restore the skin’s barrier function. It’s also great for rosacea, and for razor burn.
Dr.Perricone, a pioneer in the skincare industry is always coming up with the latest and greatest. Perricone MD Cold Plasma products were a hot hit during the summer time, and they’ll surely sell like hotcakes in the fall. In time for fall Perricone MD Cold Plasma had a growth spurt and is now available in a 2 oz super-size! The best thing is that it’s a $300 value for only $229!
Revaleskin is also taking their line to new heights with three new products. To rid of hyperpigmentation induced by too much fun in the sun, the Illuminesse Brightening Complex will help to lighten dark spots while brightening the skin with a potent coffeeberry complex. Revaleskin Skin Firming Serum helps increase resistance to stress and environmental aggressors. And the new RevaleSkin Elette 4% Creamy Wash rinses away dirt and residue while killing p.acne bacteria and zapping zits in a jiffy.

Eating right and working out can only do so much when it comes to cellulite and stretch marks. Dermatologist, pharmacist and researcher, Howard Murad, M.D. created such a supplement that is a clinically proven complex that encourages the appearance of firmer skin by up to 78% in eight weeks.

We have all had a break out on our skin and it’s usually at the worst time …like right before we leave for vacation or have an event to go to. Some products we use can irritate our skin and actually cause the break out to get worse or create more break outs. The iS Clinical Active Serum is a multi purpose product that will lessen the appearance of a break out and help to heal the skin.
The iS Clinical Active Serum not only addresses acne, but also helps to diminish fine lines, wrinkles, and hyperpigmentation. It works great for smoothing and softening the texture of your skin and will help to lighten post acne scars and discoloration. It contains Alpha-Hydroxy Acids like lactic and glycolic which will help to exfoliate and resurface the skin. It also has white willow bark extract which is a source of salicylic acid used to kill bacteria and treat the acne under the surface of the skin by deep cleansing the pore. It will also help with inflammation making this a quick and effective product for those troublesome break outs.
To fully address your concerns we suggest a complete anti-acneic regimen. Cleanse twice a day with the iS Clinical Cleansing Complex, hydrate with the Hydra Cool Serum then spot treat with the Active Serum. You can also use the active serum as a spot treatment for acne by applying it once or twice a day directly to the area of concern. If you are experiencing painful acne that is more cystic or under the skin try the iS Clinical Pro-Heal Serum Advance Plus as your AM skin treatment. This will help to reduce inflammation and heal the skin while preventing further damage.
If you are also looking for effective anti aging results you will want to apply the white lightening complex in the AM, then the active serum in the PM to target hyperpigmention and skin discoloration such as post acne scars.
Is Clinical uses only the finest pharmaceutical grade ingredients to give you results in a quick amount of time with no hassle. You really can survive a bad break out and keep them from coming back using the right products!

This moisturizer uses innovative fruit stem cell technology that deeply penetrates the skin to repair DNA damage and encourage new cell growth! It’s pretty amazing stuff!
Last year the main fall nail color trend was all different shades of purple. This years trendy fall nail colors are all about the rich colors and animal prints. Your nails are an extension of your style so weather you are feeling wild with animal prints or mild with muted tones, here at SkinStore we believe it’s important to make the look yours.
Perfect pedicure nail colors are muted, bright, or a little bit of shimmer and sparkle depending on your style and the season. We like butter LONDON’s selection of stylish and sophisticated polishes for every nail trend and mood. “Branwen’s Feather” is our Skinstore staff pedicure pick for fall. It’s a twist on the boring purple or jet black that will add a little mystery and shine that’s perfect for fall. We also like “La Moss”, this is a deep red wine color that will look great on fingers or toes for a chic and stylish look, a la supermodel Kate Moss.
For our trendy fall nail color manicure we like “Salt of the Earth” from SpaRitual. This is a bright but earthy copper color that goes great with fall colors like leaves on a tree. SpaRitual’s nail colors offer some elegance to your fingers but in a fun earthy way, without harsh chemicals or fillers. This would also be a festive duo for fingers and toes without being too overpowering.
The trick is finding a signature color then changing it just as the seasons do. A polish change is so much easier than a full wardrobe change, so try all different kinds of colors avaiailable at SkinStore to create a customized look that’s all your own. Nails are meant to be decorated and adored so go out there and show off your style with the latest trendy fall nail colors!
What is your favorite fall nail color or trend?
