La Vie Celeste Goes to the Golden Globes

Next January's Golden Globe celebrity gift bags will have something new and special ---La Vie Celeste Day and Night Restorative Face Cream. Teri Dourmashkin, who created La Vie Celeste, a new skin care company, which makes face cream, eye cream, cleanser, toner, and a lightweight exfoliating mask, doesn't make foolish promises. Unlike so many new start ups cosmetic industry heads, she is low-key, stressing results but not the flawless skin of a Stepford wife, Instead, she talks about ingredients like R-Lipoic Acid, which she says has superior anti-aging benefits and is more effective than the more commonly used Alpha Lipoic Acid. All of her company's products are gentle, well-tested, and totally non-toxic. "I am a big believer in a simple regime," says Dourmashkin who has a doctorate in health education from Columbia University. "The more ingredients you add to a product, the greater the risk of irritation or a possible allergic reaction. Our products are fragrance free and unlike many brands, we don't load up with essential oils which can be irritating for some women," she says.

Although they will be introduced to retail outlets in the fall, currently you can order La Vie Celeste products online at www.laviecelesteskincare.com. The entire range of products from eye cream to an exfoliating mask are made in Loveland, Colorado in small batches. As one of Dourmashkin's goals is to keep things simple, affordable, yet elegant, her prices are realistic considering their ingredients and effectiveness. A three-piece kit with cleanser, toner, and face cream will set you back only $85 with free shipping, a $20 saving over ordering each item individually. The face cream alone, $45, can be used morning and night, even under the eyes. All of Dourmashkin's products are made for sensitive skin and are not guaranteed to eliminate imperfections, but they can surely lighten, brighten and reduce some of those irritating signs of aging,

Zelens Day Cream

Whenever I hear of a new face cream I always get a bit thrilled, what new expensiveness can I slather on my face to ease the ravages of time? The ultra-pricey creams tend to often include ultramodern packaging and rare extracts I have never heard of but the Zelens cream comes in a simple green glass jar and has an active ingredient Fullerene C-60, an anti-oxidant for which a team of scientists received a Nobel Prize for chemistry in 1997. The company claims that Fullerene C-60 is 100 times more effective than Vitamin E in the same concentration for neutralizing free radicals, which are the big boogeymen of aging skin. The creams promise to "prevent environmental damage to the skin's DNA" as well as stimulate the action of cells that produce natural collagen. The day cream sells for $200.
