Must Try, Beauty Buy, You Decide

Must-Try:
I can't believe it's August! Saks keeps emailing me about the latest pre-Fall fashion finds, and sweaters are lurking on my favorite store shelves. It's inevitable, Fall is on the way!

As I prepare my closet for the change of clothes, it's also time to prep skin for the change of seasons. To polish away dead skin, dirt and excess oil, try a super exfoliating cleanser like Suki Exfoliate Foaming Cleanser. This all natural alphahydroxy sugar scrub is a serious skin cleanser. As you rub this exfoliant onto the skin, add plenty of water until the treatment foams, and rub this scrub in circular motions across the face very gently. The natural sugar and rice flour remove dead surface skin, toxins and clean out clogged pores, while organic lemon extract helps purify and provides the delicious lemon meringue scent.

It's 100% all natural and has no petrochemicals or synthetics - who needs them! At $9.95 for a 30ml jar, this pre-Fall skin saver is a must-try!

Beauty Buy:
When summer has really has it's way with your skin and left dry patches, sun spots and dead skin galore, it's time to get serious. Head to your dermatologist for a microdermabrasion treatment or try Dr. Brandt Microdermabrasion In a Jar. It's composed of pharmaceutical-grade crystals, lactic acid and calming botanicals to rid the skin of dead skin sludge, leaving it silky smooth and radiant.

Since you only need to use a quater-sized amount 1-2 times a week, this treatment will last you until 2010. Love a product that lasts!

You Decide:

My old co-worker came in raving one morning that she has found skin care miracle a.k.a the Clarisonic Skincare System. This powered beauty brush uses sonic technology to brush away environmental toxins, makeup and bacteria. According to the company, Clarisonic removes six times more makeup and enhances the absorption rate of beauty treatments, making skin more responsive to skin care ingredients. It has adjustable power for various skin types and comes with a one year warranty. But for $195 pre -tax, is it that much more effective than scrubbing away makeup, dirt, oil and dead surface cells with you fingertips or facial brush? You tell me!

Tried it? Loved it? Tell me if this is a must-try or a treatment to pass by!
