A PERFECT 10

































 
When life
gives you lemons

Lemon & Jojoba Cuticle
Oil: Bottle has a dropper instead of a brush to apply this subtly
lemon-scented oil – akin to lemon meringue pie – that is quickly
gobbled up by toes and fingers. Economically priced, it’s perfect
for daily use by gals with fake nails. 2 fl. oz, $7, Carol’s
Daughter.

 
Out of this
world

GM Collin Daily Ceramide
Comfort Ultraderm: This flying saucer is full of capsules of
scentless essential lipid complexes that are quickly absorbed
into the skin and immediately leave a face feeling soft as velvet.
75 capsules/.84 oz, $69.25, Pilo Arts Day Spa & Salon.

Olive skin

Olive oil soap: This
mildly olive oil-scented soap made by the Salem family in Lebanon
from natural ingredients can be used on the hair and the body.
Cleans gently without stripping moisture from skin. About 8 oz.,
$3, Tripoli Restaurant.


 

Almond crunch

Repêchage Honey
and Almond Scrub: This gentle scrub smells like warm, sweetened
oatmeal cereal when applied. It can be left on longer for a deep-cleansing
mask or rinsed off for quick smoothing and cleansing. 3 oz, $22,
Pilo Arts Day Spa & Salon.


 

 
Fat you’ll
like

Sonya Dakar Omega-3 Repair
Complex: Don’t let the fatty acids scare you away. This earthy-scented
serum in a pump smoothes irritated skin and leaves a healthy
glow. .5 oz, $35, D’Mai Urban Spa.

 
Intoxicating
hair

Mimosa Hair Honey: Wonderful
fruity-floral scent is released when the herb and flower infused
shea butter, corn oil and beeswax concoction melts with the heat
from your fingertips. Adds shine and fragrance to hair and controls
frizzies. 21.5 oz., $25, Carol’s Daughter.

Smooth as silk

Nourishing Moisture Silk:
Use this fragrant, but otherwise undetectable, mixture of essential
oils and Vitamins A, C and E over moisturizer to retain moisture
and smooth fine lines. 1 oz., $35, The HomeSpa.


 

Country time

GM Collin Time Corrector
Eyelid Gel Cream: This moisturizing, soothing pump full of gel-cream,
smelling faintly of sweetened iced tea, can be used on both eyelids
and lip contour to minimize fine lines. .8 oz., $47, Pilo Arts
Day Spa & Salon.


 

 
Freeze-dried
from France

Oligomer Lyophilized
Sea Water Bath by Phytomer: Pouch of French sea salt doesn’t
have bubbles or perfume, but it offers a 20-minute long bathtub
full of much needed relaxation for the muscles, revitalization
for the skin and peace of mind. 1.4 oz packet, $20, Cynergy Spa.

 
Not too complex

Repêchage Hydro
Complex PFS: Unscented, luxurious moisturizer is swiftly absorbed
by the face and can be used twice a day (although it doesn’t
have sunscreen) to combat dehydration from March winds and other
climactic stressors. Cutest little spoon included. 2 oz, $45,
Pilo Arts Day Spa & Salon.
