THE DOCTOR IS IN
If you have a question for a dermatologist, but aren’t ready to book a doctor’s visit, check out La Roche-Posay’s new online program called Dermatologist by Your Side. Viewed through Facebook or YouTube, the program comprises a series of short videos featuring board-certified dermatologists talking about skin concerns ranging from acne to dark spots, rosacea to aging skin. Brief overviews of the conditions are provided as well as help in sorting through the mountain of skincare products available at drugstores, department stores and online.
One of the hot topics in the series is the new FDA sunscreen labeling regulations, which go into effect on June 18. The new rules will help consumers identify products that truly offer broad spectrum protection, defending against both UVA and UVB rays.
In line with the changes, La Roche-Posay introduces three new sun-protection products:
Anthelios Ultra Light Sunscreen Lotion Spray 30 & 60 ($35.50)– a 360º spray with broad-spectrum protection.
Anthelios 50 Tinted Mineral Ultra Light Sunscreen Fluid ($32.95) -Â a lightly tinted UVA/UVB 100% mineral sun filter.
Anthelios 50 Daily Anti-Aging Primer with Sunscreen ($39.50) – a two-in-one product that combines a primer with a full-spectrum sunscreen.
These and other La Roche-Posay products are available at www.laroche-posay.us and major drugstore chains across the country.
GRAPE POWER – CAUDALIE’S ORGANIC GRAPE WATER RANGE
Caudalie wants to make sure your skin gets enough water, organic grape water, that is. Nutritive and hydrating, grape water is the star ingredient in the new Vinosource range, a moisturizing line that offers a product for multiple skin types, from extremely dry to combination.
Quite different from grape juice, grape water is derived using a low pressure and low temperature distilling process to extract the purest water from grapes – rich with trace elements and nourishing sugars.
The hero of the Vinosource line is S.O.S. Thirst Quenching Serum ($48), an ultra light to the touch surge of moisture that can be used alone or under your regular moisturizer or treatment product. Its delightful scent was specially created by Caudalie founder Mathilde Thomas.
Moisturizing Matifying Fluid ($38), is a non-greasy treat for combination skin. Perfect for year-round anti-shine moisturization, it works to reduce excess sebum while restoring the skin’s water balance.
Moisturizing Sorbet ($38) is a light moisturizer ideal for young sensitive skin. A gel-cream with a fabulous texture, the Sorbet actually turns into water on contact with the skin to soothe, hydrate and fortify.
Moisture Recovery Cream ($38) is geared toward skin on the dry side, delivering the perfect dose of plant lipids required to make your skin feel nourished, comforted and silky soft.
If your skin is extremely dry, Vinosource offers Intense Moisture Rescue Cream ($38). Butter textured, the cream soothes the skin by restoring lipids and creating a moisture blanket for dehydrated complexions.
Always focused on the natural, all items in the Vinosource collection are composed of 92% to 97% natural ingredients.
IT’S NOT ZORRO, IT’S NUVO VISAGE
Moving beyond the typical eye mask, Nuvo Visage Hot Ice Therapy Mask is designed to cover the full face. A versatile product, it can be used cold or hot to offer a variety of benefits.
Like most eye masks, when used cold Nuvo Visage reduces puffiness, particularly the kind resulting from a fun but late night on the town. It also minimizes the appearance of large pores, tightens the skin and preps complexions for makeup application. The full face mask is ideal for use after cosmetic procedures such as surgery, fillers and peels. It’s even been known to help with migraines and a hot flash or two.
The reusable mask can also be used hot – just pull a tab and it goes from cold to hot. When used in this mode, the Nuvo Visage mask helps with congestion, allergies, and headaches, as well as offering an antidote to a stressful day.
Priced at just $29.99, Hot Ice Mask is available at nuvovisage.com. It comes in four different colors – red, clear, pink and blue – and is sold with its own zip lock bag for safe storage.
The founder of Nuvo Visage is a passionate animal lover and has created a unique partnership with Hall County Human Society, a no-kill shelter. 100% of the profits from Nuvo Visage are donated to the society, which is the founder’s local animal shelter.
