Back to School Cool Skincare

These are the essentials that nearly every high school or college student needs! Going back to school doesn't mean having to bring acne along too. With this little "care backpack", you can face the new term with ultimate confidence. Here's our Teacher's List:


NEW!!! Polar Bottle's Half Twist Stainless Steel Water Bottle
We all know how important proper hydration is to beautiful skin. Water helps remove toxins that can show up as breakouts and rough skin. The best hydration begins within and these new Half Twist Stainless Steel bottles from Polar Bottle are just the thing! Since these are made of stainless steel, you can go beyond water and pack along your favorite green tea or smoothie. Either way, every drink adds to your water quota of the day which should be between 6-8 cups.

NEW!!! BLUE Clarisonic Mia Ultrasonic Skincare Brush
Portable, blue and ready to go! The New Ice Blue Clarisonic Mia is the perfect gift for your favorite co-ed. Small but mighty, it offers the same benefits as its big brother, the Clarisonic Plus. Using ultrasonic technology, the Clarisonic Mia effectively removes, oil, dirt and makeup 6x more effectively than manual washing. The gentle exfoliation is perfect for acne prone skin, keeping it clearer and smoother. Better still, it does all of this in 1 minute! The smaller size also makes it easy to pack to take the school showers or dorm bathrooms. This allows the immediate removal of sweat and toxins after gym class which would usually get sucked back into the skin.


Retin-A (Trentinoin) Micro Pump - REBATE!
Retin-A is only available by prescription but has a 30+ year track record for its effectiveness in dealing with acne, fine lines and wrinkles. A new innovation in the Retin-A line is the Micro Pump. The pump allows for a metered amount to be dispensed so there is no guessing and less waste. The new microsphere delivery system means that the product is gradually released into the skin, not all in one shot as with the regular gel. The Micro Gel is in fact more of a creamy consistency and not irritating or drying. Worth taking a trip to the doctor's office! Even better is the above offer for up to a $50 rebate on your purchase of Retin-A Micro Pump, (0.04% and 0.1%)

NEW!!! Coconut Microdermabrasion Crystals Soap
One of the problems many us face with the fall is the dryer air + dryer skin = flakiness. I developed this new Coconut Oil Microdermabrasion Soap primarily for the newly discovered health benefits of this plant oil but found it to be very moisturizing! Highly emollient and rich, it is perfect for dry skin. Can be used on the face or body and removes mascara and makeup like a dream. The spa grade Microdermabrasion crystals in the "bumpy face" of this new soap gently remove dead skin cells revealing fresher, plumper, healthier ones underneath. It really is an all in one skin treatment bar for face and body that you will not want to do without. See all of my 4.5 oz full sized Microdermabrasion Soaps in Original Blue, Rose, Seaweed and now Coconut.
