Fall Fab Skin!

by Rhonda Jackson

Not ready for Fall?
Can’t seem to think about covering up your summer tan?
Well, don’t fret you still have time to strut your stuff, but first, take a good look at your skin.
The end of summer is perfect timing to get your skin in tip-top shape. Too many days basking in the sun (and late summer night happy hours) can leave skin dry, flaky and dehydrated.
As summer sets into fall your skin takes a shock with the change in weather and starts to lose its summery glow.

Get ahead of the game and beat the “end- of –summer dull skin blues” by taking care of your skin with products that will rehydrate, exfoliate, tone and smooth just in time for your Fall appearances (hanging out in coffee shops, wine tasting soirees, dinner parties, and of’ course Fall wardrobe shopping at IVY).

Here’s a bevy of products that I found to be the best to get you on your skin care quest!

Cleansing
Sundari - Balancing cream-gel cleanser is unique because the formula is part deep cleansing gel to get rid of excess oil, and part emollient cream to hydrate drier areas. And it’s packed with healing ingredients such as Neem and Burdock. Truly the best of both worlds!

Glymed Plus – Alpha Hydroxy Exfoliant Masque conquers any stubborn flaky or excess dead skin cells that are keeping your skin from its natural glow. This super scrub/masque in one contains glycolic acid, lactic acid, and Salicylic acid with natural jojoba beads for increased exfoliation. Talk about super-smooth skin, this one is great for guys and girls who need a good scrub!

Toning
Caudalie Beauty Elixir is not your average toner! I swear, I’m not one for frou-frou stuff when it comes to skincare. This amazing half toner, half serum is filled with essential oils and rare plant ingredients. Truly a facial lotion beauty elixir that smoothes wrinkles, minimizes pores, and leaves your skin feeling tingly and invigorated. And for those of you who don’t like harsh fragrance, this product has 100% natural fragrance and no preservatives! Hands down this is the best on the skin market.

Moisturize
Z.Bigatti- Re-Storation Skin Treatment is the next best thing to hope in a jar. This advanced antioxidant formula packs in Vitamins A, E, K, B2, B3, B9, & B12 with Grape seed and Green tea extracts and natural Enzymes that soften, soothe and protect your skin from damaging elements. This oil-free moisturizing treatment will give you your moneys worth and then some, its also contains Multihydroxys to diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. How’s that for having your cake and eating it too!

Art of Shaving Sandalwood After Shave Balm Okay, this one is for the guys, well… maybe not, let me explain. This super slick oil-free balm is healing and hydrating, combining Shea butter, Vitamin e, Grape seed extracts and Vitamin C. You don’t even have to apply a moisturizer afterwards because it’s built right in! You will not be able to resist the smell of natural sandalwood and slightly earthy notes with a hint of eucalyptus. I must admit, if this was on my boyfriend’s dresser it might come up missing!

Treatments
Apivita Express Eye Zone Mask gives instant relief to tired eyes and dark circles! A mix of orange extract, gingko biloba, and vitamin C lightens dark circles and energize post hangover eyelids (yes!).

Z.Bigatti Impact Fruit Enzyme Facial Mask gives 3 minutes of intense cleaning, exfoliation, and toning. This works really great after a workout or after a night dancing in the clubs! This concentrated mask contains fruit enzymes Papain and Bromelain with beta hydroxy to gently exfoliate, botanicals and antioxidants to nourish, protect and give a real wake up call to your skin!

Bliss Ingrown Hair Eliminating Peeling Pads are the crème de la crème for anyone suffering from ingrown hairs. That includes the bikini area ladies! The pads can be used pre or post shave. Say hello to stubble-free and bump-free skin!

You may not be ready for the fall weather, but who cares?..your skin looks fabulous!
