One Word Words That Work

Pure and Nude - two words I want to see when I'm perusing skin care products. Here are two that make the most of the one syllable.

NUDE Facial Scrub ($52/2.5oz @ barneys.com) uses fine beads made of rose quartz to gently buff away dead skin cells. If money is no object when it comes to skin care, I would check this one out.
PURE Lemongrass & Tea Tree Facial Cream ($13.50/1.5oz @ pureallorganic.com) contains many-a oil to nourish skin: apricot, coconut, avocado vitamin E and more. And Lemongrass and Tea Tree calm stressed out skin. Really thick and moisturizing and I’m wearing it now! Big recommendation.

Mask O' the Month

We introduced you to the NUDE line back in January and I finally had a chance to try the Miracle Mask ($70/1.4oz @ barneys.com). Let me say first that just because this product is made with mostly natural ingredients, that doesn’t mean it is gentle. So with that said, if you have sensitive skin, you may want to forgo this one as it’s not recommended for you.

This Nude line uses a lot of alternatives to harsh chemicals and this one is your answer to that dull winter complexion. It uses natural AHAs and mandarin extract to exfoliate and red ginseng to smooth your skin out and boost up the appearance.
The only thing I don’t like about the product line is the label. Once you peel it off to open the product up, there goes all the info on the product and you are just left with the blank container. Just a suggestion, Nude!

Get Nude Skin

This new skin care line from the UK, NUDE, thinks of everything that is on our minds these days, mainly alternatives to using harsh chemicals. It was created by the founder of Fresh and Wild (like our Whole Foods) and launched here in the States last fall. Since his shoppers were avidly concerned about what they put in their bodies, he thought it was only natural that they would open to a new line that uses high performance natural ingredients. We all know that drugstore and department store brands are filled with chemicals but we’re pretty much a slave to them until now. Their products don’t claim to be organic but as I mentioned they do use a lot of botanicals and other natural ingredients. So you get the performance without a lot of the super bad-for-your-skin ingredients, like parabens, sulphates, silicons and mineral oils, to name a few.

Product picks: Age Defense Moisturizer ($100/1.3oz), Cleansing Facial Oil ($52/7oz).

One of the best traits is the really cool squoval packaging. 40% of the recyclable packaging used is already recycled materials.

So set these up in your bathroom, have a party, and see how many comments you get from guests. All @ barneys.com
I have the Miracle Mask on deck to try so as usual, we’ll let you know if it’s worth the investment…
