Dr. Hauschka Lemon Lemongrass Oil
I am totally obsessed with this body oil, which is purported to "reduce the appearance of cellulite." I can tell you that it made my bumpy upper arms smoother than I ever thought possible, and it smells like a sunny day on a citrus farm. My only complaint is that the bottle is too small -- I whizzed through it in less than three weeks, and at $28.95, it could get to be an expensive, but worthwhile, habit to maintain. It's no wonder Dr. Hauschka is "swamped with demand" for their products!
Decléor Aromessence™ Neroli
Another oil I am really into lately is this face serum from French spa brand Decléor. The subtly sweet/bitter scent is a blend of neroli, sandalwood, petitgrain, sage, parsley and juniper berry essential oils, which leaves your skin glowing, and your mind calm. At first I was worried about using oil on my face, but you just use a dab at a time, and the results speak for themselves. It's $68 for a .05 oz bottle, but believe me, you use it much more slowly than the Dr. Hauschka body oil!
skyn ICELAND Hydro Cool Firming Eye Gels
Naturally my husband walked in the house two seconds after I stuck these soothing gel-backed strips under my eyes. "It's a beauty treatment!" I said, and he just shook his head. But ten minutes later, when I pulled them off, I looked -- and felt -- refreshed and awake. Like the entire skyn ICELAND line, the eye gels ($45 for six pairs) are forumulated to pamper and rejuvenate stressed out skin. They are quick and easy to use, awesome for eyes that are tired from too much travel.
Wai Hope Illuminaire Enzymatic Revitalizing Mask
I made sure my husband was gone for the day before I tried this next product: a minty green organic exfoliating facial mask, made with pinapple and papaya fruit enzymes. I have to admit, my favorite part is that the jar comes with a bamboo paddle, to make application a little neater! Of course, I also liked how bright and smooth it made my skin in just five minutes, and without parabens, formaldehydes, perfumes, resins, sulfates or petrochemical ingredients. A 1.7oz jar, which is good for several masks, is $65.
