Masks for Glowing Skin
Going out? Do a mask the day before for an instant glow! Look for these ingredients to….
…add moisture. Look for glycerin. It draws water to the skin cells to keep the skin hydrated.
We recommend:
- SkinCeuticals Hydrating B5 Masque
- Clark’s Botanicals Deep Moisture Mask
- Dermalogica Skin Hydrating Masque
- Murad Hydrating Gel Mask Salon Size
…suck up oil. Clay can curb shine for two days!
We recommend:
- SkinCeuticals Clarifying Clay Masque
- Dermalogica Plankton Masque Base
- Clark’s Botanicals Intense Radiance Mask
…calm redness. The titanium dioxide helps ease rosacea flare.
We recommend:
- Avene Antirougeurs Calm Soothing Repair Mask
- Dermalogica UltraCalming Relief Masque
- Murad Redness Reduction Treatment Mask Salon Size
…treat pimples. Skim the label for sulfur; it has anti-bacterial powers.
We recommend:
- Murad Clarifying Mask
- Wilma Schumann Purifying Mask
- Revision Black Mask
How often do you apply your favorite mask?
Your Skin…Just Much Better
Call it the anti-aging essentials. Follow these wrinkle-fighting regimens and learn what to apply and when, for better looking skin.
1. Four nights a week – Build collagen
Vitamin A derivativies are still the “gold standard” for keeping your collagen stimulated. But since they can be irritating at first, it’s best to alternate your retinoid or retinol product with a gentler peptide cream. We recommend Pro+Therapy MD C8 Peptide Deep Wrinkle Treatment or Jan Marini Age Intervention Peptide Extreme. Some peptides, like those used in PCA Skin ExLinea Peptide Smoothing Serum, also help plump up your skin.
2. Three nights a week – Turn over those cells
To prevent wrinkles, as well as dull skin tone and uneven texture, use an alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) cream, like PRIORI Advanced AHA Skin Renewal Cream, every other night. As you do with retinoids, apply after cleansing.
3. Every morning – Fight free radicals
After your cleanser and moisturizer but before that all-important SPF come antioxidants. Their mission: protecting your skin’s DNS from rogue molecules brought on by sun and smog that line and dull your skin. We recommend NeoStrata Antioxidant Defense Serum or DermaQuest Daily Antioxidant Serum–or for an easy all-in-one, try Topix Replenix Antioxidant Sunscreen Moisturizer SPF 50+.
…Between Treatments – Work in a night cream
As they fight lines, collagen builders and cell-turnover agaents can irritate and dry out your skin. If necessary take a night off and apply an anti-inflammatory cream with coffeeberry, like Revaleskin Intense Recovery Treatment.
NEW ARRIVAL: Cool-It Caddy
Introducing our newest arrival—Cool-It Caddy cosmetic coolers by Vinci Designs. These ‘cool’ stylish bags have a fully insulated interior and integrated coolant system that will keep your favorite lip lusters, sunscreens, snacks, medications and make-up chilled even in the hottest of places. It’s small enough to fit into purses, golf and gym bags, backpacks, beach totes, etc., so you your items will stay fresh and cool, no matter what the score–or the temperature!
The Cool-It Caddy concept came about when founder, Deborah Vinci, was golfing in the summer heat and went to re-apply her protective lip balm only to have a large chunk come off onto her lips. Deborah was fed up with dealing with melted lip balm, lipstick, and make-up during her game and decided to find a solution. Shortly after, her very cool, yet haute line of products was born—keeping make-up from melting in the hot summer sun, yet fashionable and fun.
How does Cool-It Caddy work? Just pop your Cool-it Caddy into a freezer until frozen. Next step? Go play…On the course. On the boat. On the go. Courtside. Beachside. Poolside…Cool-it Caddy are always chillin’ by your side!
Shop Cool-It Caddy at SkinMedix now and keep your costly beauty or health care products protected from that inevitable heat meltdown–and never loose another lipstick to the smoldering hot sun again!

The 4 Types of Moisturizers
Moisturizers can make a world of difference. Contrary to popular belief, don’t actually add moisturize. Instead, they attract and trap existing water in the skin. A good moisturizer contains humectants, ceramides, and/or emollients that lock water in the outer layer of skin, giving any damaged cells a chance to repair. You skin type and the degree of dryness determines what type of hydrator you will best benefit from. Continue Reading →
The Big Debate: Facial Cleansers vs. Facial Wipes
When it comes to washing your face, it seems like there are an infinite number of methods to choose from. The biggest face-washing debate may be between the cleansing purist and the facial wipe user. So is one better than other, or do they cleanse the same? Continue Reading →
6 Factors that Cause Dryness
When air is void of moisture, dry skin can ensue. Dry air causes an evaporation of moisture in the skin. Low humidity levels force skin enzymes to look for a source of hydration leading to dry patches.
2. The Sun
UVA and UVB rays deplete the skin of moisture. Even though the sun may seem to have a drying effect on the outer layer of skin, UV rays break down collagen and elastin levels at the lower Continue Reading →
