I have to admit, the thought of lathering marshmallows on my face to nourish my skin as the weather changes sounds quite intriguing, if not downright decadent, but add cocoa butter and a rice steam scent, and I definitely want to look into this weekly skin treatment.
What better way to pamper my skin after a long day at the beach than gems for the face!?!? I used the BVLGARI Masque Precieux every couple of days during the two weeks I was in Malibu to keep my skin from drying out from sand and wind. It's an intensive regenerating mask and is as decadent as it sounds! The richly hydrating mask is enriched with an oxygen carrier to detoxify, an antiaging complex Polypeptides III to help increase the production of collagen and elastin and the high performance properties of Bvlgari Gem Essence®, a patent pending formula that nourishes and renews the skin. 
You really need to use this consistently to see the results, it doesn't promise any miracles but use it often and you'll see a new luminosity to your skin. $130 at Bergdorf Goodman. 
Pomegranates are the new Acai berries, its antioxidant properties are being touted in everything from juices to facial products but does it live up to its name? I recently tested out a product that is made of Pomegranate-- Murad Pomegranate Exfoliating Mask-- it comes in travel friendly packs that you can keep in your make up bag to use at any time. Each mess free pack is the size of department store samples for single applications. You simply tear open the pack and apply to your face directly. The gel textured mask is made of pomegranate and ginkgo biloba extracts that fight free radicals and inflammation (really great if you have rosacea). The natural fruit enzymes and AHAs also dissolve old and tired cells while freeing the skin's surface of trapped impurities. I used this over the weekend and didn't think it did much at first. It took a second try a few days later to notice that my skin looked a tad brighter. If anything, I'd get this just for the convenience to travel with! You can carry the little .25 oz packs with you on flight and give yourself a quick facial before you land. The hot towels flight attendants give you is enough to wipe your skin clean of this mask. Each box comes with 6 individual packs and will last you about a month. Get Murad Pomegranate Exfoliating Mask 6 Treatments

Today is my wedding anniversary-- 8 magical years and a beautiful son later, we're still blissfully happy (okay so we fight like all couples do but it never lasts more than 5 minutes and I always win-- I think my hubby has finally figured out the key to happily ever after ;). We are going out to a romantic dinner tonight and I have my schedule carefully planned out-- have our 4 year old son fed and bathed before the baby sitter arrives plus be dressed and ready myself. I've developed a quick but efficient beauty routine with the aid of the amazing brightening system from Orlane called Absolute Radiance pack, it has everything I'll need to have my complexion glowing as brightly as the first day we met-- all in 7 minutes!

I have enjoyed researching organic skin care for Earth Day, and learning more than I care to know about the harmful effects of the chemicals I've been using :(
