Editor's Picks: Treat Yourself to these Beauty Goodies for the New Year
The season of buying for others is over, and it’s time to be selfish. Treat yourself this month with these beauty buys that will keep you looking and smelling fresh for the start of 2016! KORRES Wild Rose Vitamin C Petal Peel will reveal brighter, petal soft skin. A powerful natural alternative to chemical peels, this advanced vitamin C brightening system supports natural cell renewal, helps smooth the appearance of fine lines and discolorations, and gives skin an instant boost of radiance. Step one, an aloe-based Activating Peel Gel, cleanses the skin while it opens pores to allow the active ingredients in step two to penetrate deeper. A 10 percent concentration of natural fruit, glycolic, and sugar-derived lactic AHAs peel away dead outer skin cells and remove impurities, dirt, and excess sebum without irritation. An equal concentration of healing aloe simultaneously soothes and softens skin. Step two, an intensive Brightening & Revealing Peel Mask, contains an additional dose of 10 percent AHAs and natural pomegranate enzymes for additional peeling, exfoliating, and resurfacing action ($64; Sephora.com). Lavanila Laboratories The Healthy Vanilla Bean Creamy Body Scrub is an ultra-creamy, non-greasy body scrub that is formulated with crushed Madagascar vanilla beans blended with whipped shea butter and five nourishing essential oils. It whisks away dry, dead skin cells—revealing soft, hydrated, glowing skin ($40; Lavanila.com). Christie Brinkley Authentic Skincare Uplift + IR Defense Firming Neck & Decolette Treatment addresses the effects of aging by tightening the neck area, reducing wrinkles and improving firmness. It tightens the look of skin while firming and smoothing the appearance of deep wrinkles and age spots, is infused with a bio-copper complex that promotes collagens and elastin to firm the skin while protecting from sun damage and visibly tightens and brightens the appearance of the neck and décolleté ($69; Kohls.com). Katy Perry Mad Potion features a classic vanilla scent enhanced with vanilla orchid, peony, apple musk, jasmine, amber and musk – a perfect change for a new year ($30; Sears). Shop:
