Skincare Worthy of a Feast

This holiday season, a moment on the lips doesn't have to mean a lifetime on the hips. With a cornacopia of delicious smelling products, it’s okay to pass the pumpkin pie and pile on the souffle. We even dare you to throw back a few margaritas. Guilt free!

If you’re in a giving mood, all of these skincare and beauty products make great stocking stuffers and gifts.

Don't you just love discovering new ways to use everyday products? You know those long-handled bath brushes (also called massage brushes) that you use to clean those hard-to-reach places? Well, did you know that you can actually use a skin brush to help flush toxins out of your body? Our skin is our largest organ and everything we come in contact with is absorbed through the skin. Skin has a pretty big job pushing out all those toxins and sometimes it needs a little help. Skin brushing dry skin cleans the skin of all those nasty dead cells that clog pores and make skin dull and dry. A gentle 5-minute daily skin brushing is an easy way to boost the lymphatic system, increase circulation, improve metabolism, eliminate dead skin cells, help your body's natural detoxification process, and reduce the appearance of cellulite (hooray!)

Want to look as hot as Gisele Bundchen or any of the other seemingly always bronzed Brazilian Victoria’s Secret models? Since most of us live in the real world, a trip to St. Barts every two weeks is out of the question (plus bad for your skin), so self-tanners are the next best thing.

We’ve all experienced a fashion emergency or wished we could improve out beauty regimen with easy, inexpensive adjustements. So here are some quick and easy ways to stave off that unsightly pimple, keep undereye bags at bay and have gorgeous skin all year long.

So maybe the idea of slathering raw hoherney on your face is getting a little too close to nature. That’s okay, there are plenty of products out there that offer all the great benefits of honey, without the sticky residue.

For our first Beauty RX entry we’re getting back to basics. We spend hundreds of dollars on skincare products concocted in a laboratory, when nature has already done the work for us—for free. So the next time you want to tighten and refresh your skin, you might want to start at your pantry instead of the medicine cabinet.
