There has been a slew of new product launches is the cosmetics and skin care industry in the recent past. Since there is mind boggling variety of products out on sale, it becomes a very difficult choice to make an informed decision. Our intention is to make you aware and informed, so that you can spend intelligently on skin care products that really work for you!

1. At-home mini peels: these products achieve youthfulness by stripping away the outermost layer of your skin. Although that sounds painful, it really isn’t. For most people, at home mini peels are gentle and surprisingly effective, as long as you only use them once a month or so. Any more often and you may damage your skin.

2. The new Aveda skin care product line contains some very exciting materials. They focus on natural oils and botanicals such as olive or cocoa oil and are sure to produce great results. Our favorite aspect of the Aveda line was the wonderful scents and aromas used, which were created using all-natural fruit and vegetable extracts. There are no fake smelling perfume-based scents to be found in their line.

3. Skin tightening creams: There has been some recent clinical trial success with collagen compounds affecting the appearance of the skin by gently tightening and toning. By binding to the skin, collagen molecules create the effect of both skin tightening and wrinkle reduction. These products seem to do what they claim and are an excellent value.

4. Meaningful Beauty product line: new serum and moisturizer formulations developed by dermatologists are a good bargain this month. The Meaningful Beauty products eliminate harmful free radicals as well as blocking their reemergence. Free radicals are molecules that can cause your skin age and wrinkle earlier than normal. The Meaningful Beauty product line has been proven to be safe to use and is gentle to skin of all types.

5. A new product on the market is sugar scrub, which helps uneven or rough skin and uses natural ingredients. Sugar scrubs utilize common table sugar and combine it with scented botanicals to slough off the bumps on the top of the skin.
