Review ~ Ratio Skin Care (by Dr. Andrew Ordon and Ritu Chopra)

METSV — Mon, 20 May 2013 05:18:26 PDT

The golden ratio is an organic constant found in nature. It is visible in the perfect lines of a nautilus shell. The human body is the most beautiful example of the mathematical proportions defined by this and a glance at the palm of your hand will provide proof. Great works of genius, such as the Mona Lisa or the Taj Mahal, could not have been created without an understanding of this calculated symmetry.

Dr. Andrew Ordon, co-host of the Emmy-award winning show, “The Doctors,” and his partner Dr. Ritu Chopra, have taken inspiration from this golden ratio to create a revolutionary blend of eastern and western ingredients for the ultimate balance in anti-aging skincare products.

Clicking HERE will take you to the Ratio Skin Care site where you can learn more about this great range of skincare products...(right now they are featuring a 20% discount, so click quick!)

Stay tuned for a Q&A from the doctors - they'll be answering some of our questions and yours regarding the line, skincare in general, and what's on the horizon for Ratio...

Review - Origins ~ Checks and Balances Frothy Face Wash

Makeup Addict — Sat, 20 Apr 2013 07:44:15 PDT

Checks and BalancesFrothy Face Wash $15.00 at Origins

We'll plant a tree for you when you buy this Earth Month exclusive! When it comes to faces with dry and oily places, it takes a clever cleanser to balance the two. This gentle, frothy face wash carefully does both jobs without canceling each other out. Broad Leaf Kelp Extract discourages excess oil production, while Wheat Protein balances and protects dry prone zones. And Tourmaline actually makes water wetter to more easily disperse dirt and sebum down the drain. There's also aromatic Bergamot, Spearmint and Lavender to add pleasure to the process. Skin feels comfortably refreshed after cleansing, never tight, pulled or parched.

Men's Review - Origins Clear Improvement Active Charcoal Mask to Clear Pores

Review Man — Thu, 18 Apr 2013 14:44:24 PDT

Origins Clear Improvement Active Charcoal Mask to Clear Pores, 2.5 oz   $19.00 at Macy's

When environmental toxins, dirt and debris get under your skin, its waste-filtering system gets jammed, pores get clogged, skin looks cloudy. Nature's complexion clean-up crew gets to the bottom of skins overcast condition and clears the way for it to act its best. Activated Charcoal acts like a magnet to draw out deep-dwelling pore-cloggers, White China Clay absorbs environmental toxins, Lecithin dissolves impurities. Without all that "stuff" down there, skin "breathes a sigh of relief."

Origins Modern Friction Nature's Gentle Dermabrasion, 2.5 oz $27.00 at Macy's

Sand-blasting skin with coarse, chemical crystals? How painfully passé. Here's age-smoothing exfoliation without irritation. Skin-refining Rice Starch, cushioned in cream, shows real affinity for rapidly removing sluggish cells, uneven patches and signs of skin damage and discolorations. Lemon Oil kick starts the process of illumination. Another age-sweeping action: skin-menacing molecules are mopped up. All while Aloe keeps skin calm and comfy. There's no ouch, extra steps or other complications. No redness or flaking follows. The before-and-afters are amazing. Signs of fine lines and size of pores appear to shrink in size. Skin looks perfectly polished, smooth and luminous. And the perk-me-up aromas of Bergamot and Peppermint help you look on the bright side. Best for all skin types.

I love the RMS Beauty Story, Rose-Marie Swift's journey to create RMS Beauty is so inspiring, I read that she had been having some health issues with very high levels of toxic metals in her system, this was attributed to her years of working within the BEAUTY industry (the industry that I hold so near and dear to my heart) was in fact potentially poisoning her. She did tons of research and in 2008 launched RMS beauty the FIRST organic cosmetics line in the world.. We have had the ability to review some of her products and LOVED them. She has really branched out and now has some new products in the line that you might not know about.. I love a line with an inspirational story behind it, it seems that necessity is truly the mother of invention! :)
