The Slick of it!

by Rhonda Jackson

Now that spring is here and you start making room in your closet for those new flip flops and halter-tops, let's not forget to get your skin ready and prepped for maximum exposure!

That's right! Check out the latest suped-up hydrating masks, high-tech moisturizers and believable bronzers to get your glow on and on!

Get your hands on Remede's Sweep. This super gritty cleansing paste gets skin tingling clean and smooth as a babies you-know-what! Perfect to use before any hydrating or bronzing treatment.
Follow up with Aesops Primrose Facial Mask. This "pudding-like" hydrating mask will give a whole new meaning to "stop and smell the roses" when you are revived with plumped up skin and rosy cheeks!

Need a little extra steam your life? If you're nodding yes, then run and get Dr Hauscka's facial steam bath. It is packed with natural plant extracts that activate with heat to naturally cleanse your skin. Whoever knew a little steam could be so good. (If that doesn't work then you need a 90-minute session at Bikram!)

A hydration cream with serious results is what you'll get once you try Chanel's Éclat Originel. This flake fighting gel-cream boosts the skin's natural glow with sugar derivatives and a high-tech triple complex called Pulsator (I have know idea… but it works!)

Nighttime is the right time to repair and replenish your superstar skin. You'll see stars after indulging in Kenzo's cosmic cosmetic cream. This luxe, night repair cream submerges skin with Japanese angelica, known for its hydrating properties and white lotus, known for its relaxing aroma. Not only will you be on cloud nine but you'll wake up with heavenly, hydrated skin! No, this is not a dream!

Get a head start on soon-to-come sun rays with "believable bake" bronzers. Remember to exfoliate first! Then slather on Shiseido's Brilliant Bronze Self-tanning Cream for Face. You'll get complements right away. It gives your skin a natural golden color that gets better every hour!

Golden child is what they'll call you after one application of Sexsymbol's Aerotan. This instant but temporary tanning spray will fix your bronze babe crave! After trying this on a close male friend of mine, yes, I said male, we had everyone fooled into believing he went to Miami for 2 weeks! How's that for instant gratification?!

For those of you shy of self-tanners and spray-on tans, check out Dior's Healthy Look bronzer. This powder will have everyone second-guessing. And if your boyfriend gets jealous, tell him to get his own! I'm serious! Go get Jean Paul Gaultiers Tout Beau Tout Propre bronzer! Now you both can fight for the mirror! :)

Go show some skin-i!
