I love the mummy-like cloth masks that high-end skin care companies have offered for years. One side is packed with skin care ingredients, and the fabric helps the ingredients sink in. Plus, it totally freaks out my dog whenever I wear one, and that's always fun. Up until now, however, they've only been available for big bucks, which is why I'm so excited Garnier is bringing them to the drugstore.
And these are especially great. They have Vitamin C to brighten skin, and the fabric stretches to fit your face so you're not left with a weird flap hanging over one eye. They start rolling out across the country now, and they'll be available everywhere by the end of the month.
My face-wipe obsession knows no bounds, and these are my new favorites. Just look at the packaging! In addition to being wildly pretty, they have coconut water to balance out oil, papaya to exfoliate, and aloe to soothe. And all of that adds up to two things: They're great for your skin and they smell like vacation.
The eco-friendly British line Cowshed has been around for almost a decade, but they just launched stateside with their own e-commerce site and in-store availability at Barney's New York. I've admired the products from afar, and I'm thrilled that I can finally get my hands on them. The first thing on my wish list is this stunning candle. It smells like the most luxurious rose you've ever sniffed, and the glass is stunning, as well.
Every year, I neglect my legs all winter, and I regret it as soon as the weather starts to warm up. But this year was different: I got my hands on a jar of this scrub and miracles happened. I used it once -- just once! -- and my legs were instantly rejuvenated. Soft, smooth, moisturized, and glowing. Ready for shorts.
If you bring a hair serum within a foot of my hair, my style becomes a flat, slimy-looking mess. But this hair serum has no silicone or oil on its ingredient list. "What, then, is it made of?" you wonder.
Living Proof uses a special proprietary molecule called OFPMA -- developed by MIT scientists -- that smooths hair, fights frizz, and helps your style last longer. Essentially, it's exactly what you'll need all summer.
But it's also the perfect time to splurge on a few beauty indulgences that you don't necessarily need, but are just too great to pass up this time of year. On my list you'll find everything from a revolutionary de-frizzing hair serum to face wipes that smell like a tropical vacation. They're the best beauty products of June 2013 -- in no particular order.
