Fabulous Face Masks

Check out these fab face masks I’m loving right now – tried, tested and loved of course! My skincare routine is pretty simple; I cleanse, moisturise and then load up on sun screen. I tend to avoid toners as my cleanser already does a great job at light exfoliating, so there is no need for me to use a toner as well. Every week, I also like to give my skin a little treat, in the form of an exfolation, cleansing peel or a masque. These are the three masques that are sitting in my bathroom right now… To scroll through my selection, click on the black arrow to the right to navigate through my top three…

Best Beauty Buys – Cleansers, makeup removers, exfoliators

My job as Beauty Editor at StyleScoop allows me to experiment with all sorts of beauty goodies, from skincare to makeup, to finishing touches for body and hair. I’ve used a lot and bought a lot too, and this is the first of my six-week Best Beauty Buys, which will feature my top products that I have used this year. I thought I’d kick off my 2009 Best Beauty Buys with the first step in any good skin care regime – cleansers, makeup removers and exfoliators.

Scrub, buff and exfoliator review

It’s time to get down and get rid of the dirt on your face. Check out these fabulous products I found to help you scrub, buff, exfoliate and clean up for silky smooth, sexy skin. 1. Clinique Turnaround facial mask RP: R375.00 The Claim – Joining the renowned Clinique Turnaround franchise to help deliver brighter, more radiant skin is the new Clinique Turnaround instant facial. It works to improve the overall quality of skin by diminishing dullness and flaking, minimizing fine lines and improving skin tone. My Verdict – I’m a huge fan of products that can multi task, that’s why I love the new formula Turnaround mask from Clinique. It’s just like a mini, five-minute facial in a tube. The pampering mask leaves my skin feeling smoother, while the exfoliating treatment helps remove dead skin cells for a more glowing complexion. The Clinique Turnaround Facial Mask launched nationwide in January 2009. 2. Bobbi Brown Buffing Grains for Face The Claim – A true skincare innovation. These luxurious grains can be mixed with any Bobbi Brown cleanser or water to create a fully customized, gentle exfoliator for the face. Comes in a glass bottle with pour top for easy use.…
