 Jane Iredale’s makeup is known as the skin care makeup. Now she’s introduced the Silver Lining makeup collection for the holidays. The products can be used for a daytime look or layered for a stunning evening look.
Start your look with your favorite Iredale mineral makeup. The Midnight Blue liner is the beginning to creating a smoky eye. Blue is the new black this season, giving a softer look. Line top and bottom lashes with the liner. Follow with the Silver Trio shadows. Sweep the lightest color over the outer third of the eye. Color the inner two-thirds with the medium shade. Finally go over the lash line with the darkest color. Smudge colors for a smoky effect. For evening, coat top lash line with Silver Liquid Liner.
Next use The Double Dazzle Pencil. Reddish/copper on one end and gold on the other, this pencil can be used in many ways. For a daytime look, use the colored end to blush cheeks and line and fill in lips. Top with Hazelnut gloss. For a bolder look, use the gold end to highlight around the temple and in the middle of the lips for a plumper look. Top with the lip-gloss.
For more drama, pick a shade from the 24 Karat Collection. These shimmery powders can be used on lips, cheekbones, eyes, body, and dusted on hair. Silver, gold, bronze, pink, lilac, and champagne the choice is yours - get glowing!

 Dr. Obagi has been on the forefront of skin care for decades. Now he brings his knowledge and experience to the new Obagi CLENZIderm M.D. acne line. Acne is one of the most frustrating conditions people deal with. Most people try many different products with little or no results. Worse, untreated acne can lead to life-long scarring on the face. Finding an acne skin care line that works seems impossible.
So what’s different about this line? Interestingly, it’s not the ingredients but the delivery system that is revolutionary. Benzoyl peroxide has been proven to kill the p. acnes bacteria, which caused breakouts. The reason it hasn’t been very effective is the size of the molecule used. The benzoyl peroxide can’t penetrate and just sits on top of the skin. Clenziderm molecules are 1/10,000th the size of any other benzoyl peroxide treatment! The liquefied benzoyl peroxide penetrated deep into the follicle kills acne at its root.
Use of this acne therapeutic system will show a 52% reduction in acne lesions in just two weeks. By using this system, you’re getting significant improvement in a small amount of time. This can be especially important for teenagers who want to see immediate results. There are two Clenziderm systems, one for oily and one for dry skin. With Clenziderm you can have clearer skin in no time!

 Are you hiding your neck? Do you see a big difference between the age of your face and the age of your neck? Do you wish you had a way to tighten the neck?
It’s very common to have younger-looking facial skin versus the skin on your neck and chest (known as the décolletage). The décolletage is particularly vulnerable to visible aging. This skin tends to be thinner, less protected, and neglected in the skin care regimen. The result is a noticeable contrast between the face and neck.
Don’t let this area reveal your age. Obagi Medical has introduced the Elastiderm Décolletage System which is specifically targeted to correct, restore, and maintain youthful skin on these delicate areas.
Elastiderm Décolletage treats the damage to this area with a two-product system. Step 1 is a Skin Lightening Complex with 4% hydroquinone. This prescription strength lotion will reduce hyper pigmentation and age spots. Step 2 is a Wrinkle Reducing Lotion. Its unique bi-mineral complex restores elastin to the skin to tighten and firm Malonic acid stimulates new, healthy skin cells.
Significant reduction in pigmentation and wrinkles is seen in as little as four weeks. Time to throw out your turtlenecks and buy that sexy V-neck!

 A blush on the cheeks is pretty, but the blotchy, red skin isn’t. Many people have red, uneven skin tones and more than 14 million Americans actually have rosacea. Red cheeks, nose, chin, and forehead characterize rosacea. It also may include acne-like pimples in these areas.
Rosacea is most common in fair-skinned people. It’s nearly three times more common in women than men. There is no cure for rosacea so ongoing treatment is critical.
Obagi Medical has introduced a skin care line called Rosaclear to combat these symptoms. The Rosaclear System uses a complete therapeutic approach to clear and calm the skin and treat rosacea. This is a prescription strength line that has been tested by dermatologists.
A few simple steps each morning and night is all that’s needed. First, the Gentle Cleanser calms the skin while removing irritating bacteria. Next, prescription Metronidazole gel is applied to treat the inflammatory acne. Hydrating Complexion Corrector protects, moisturizes, and reduces redness with calming and anti-inflammatory agents. Last, Skin Balancing SPF 30 is used to protect the skin without irritation. Sun exposure can greatly aggravate rosacea. So whether you are a rosacea sufferer or just have red, uneven skin, Rosaclear will leave you calm, cool, and collected.

 If we could only go back in time! We probably wouldn’t have spent hours baking in the sun with little or no protection. If your skin is showing the mistakes from your younger years, TNS can rewind your skin to a younger time.
A three-part system is used to attack aging and sun damage from all angles. The first product used is TNS Recovery Complex. It contains one of the highest concentrations of growth factors for serious skin cell therapy. Growth factors stimulate cells to produce more collagen and elastin. Collagen gives that plump, youthful firmness while elastin gives tightness and snap-back to the skin. Recovery Complex will reduce wrinkles, fine lines, age spots and loss of elasticity.
In the morning you layer the Vitamin C Complex on top of Recovery Complex. Vitamin C is a crucial antioxidant that protects against damaging sun, pollution, smoke, etc. In the evening you layer Retinol Complex over the Recovery Complex. Retinol comes from Vitamin A. Retinols promote cell renewal, improve skin tone and texture, and reduce fine lines and wrinkles.
Misspent youth? Now it can be your secret!
