These products are unique among the staggering selection out there. All make great gifts - for holidays, birthday, mothers day etc... Especially great to gift yourself!
Touted to be the only thing used behind the scenes at the Paris fashion week shows, that was all I needed to know. I bought several 2.54 fl oz tubes of Embryolisse Lair-Creme Concentre when I was in Paris in October and it's spectacular. It can be used as a face cream, a body moisturizer, a cleansing cream or calming after shaving. You can snag it on Amazon for $23, but Google around. There are lots of variations. I saw some really low prices then realized it was for a 1 oz size.
Amazon's description says "It is a cleansing and moisturising cream that combines emulsifying and softening agents with active moisturisers while respecting the skin’s natural balance (pH, microorganisms) and encouraging the rebuilding of the hydrolipidic layer (the skin’s natural protection)." Anything formerly called 24 Hour Miracle Cream explains enough!
Also while in Paris, a friend who was looking for the best restorative/anti-aging skin line was directed to a line called Resulttime by Collin Paris. They "provide targeted and optimum solutions to skin aging concerns." There are many products - moisturizers for face, eyes, and neck, cleansers, scrubs, masks, serums, night creams. You would do best to read about it on the Resulttime's website first, then Google around for what you want.
As I understand it, Vectorised Micro-Collagen is the core of their products varying formulas, which "delivers spectacular regeneration to skin molecules in just 48 hours."
Another truly effective product that I keep in the shower: Neocutis Neo-Cleanse Exfoliating Skin Cleanser 4.0 fl oz. It acts as a cleanser for your face but also eats up the dead surface skin cells which clog your pores. And you can FEEL it working, because it contains 9.9% glycol acid in just the right amount. Key is to put it on a dry or barely damp face - if it is wet, then the glycolic doesn't tingle (which means it's exfoliating). And boy does your cheek feel like it's a baby's bum after you use it. Fragrance and dye free Seeing prices from $28-32 when I Google.

My favorite for sunscreen is Elta MD Skin care. It's great stuff and I have tried A LOT. Not only does it block the harmful rays very effectively, it's oil free (not clogging!) and has TRANSPARENT zinc. There are many products that may be good on the site to read about but I am recommending two different products that I personally use.I'm sure if you see one of the other products that fits your needs and skin type you'd be as happy with it as I am. Google the name as I see prices ranging from $21 to close to $40 on these. I wait for a local dermatologist's office to do their annual July sale on them and stock up.
UV CLEAR Broad Spectrum SPF 46 which you can wear everyday as my moisturizer, getting real effective sun protection from Zinc Oxide without the chalky whiteness or viscosity. And the best part-- it never irritates or clogs as many face sunscreens tend to do to all of us. This can come tinted (like foundation) or invisible.
UV SPORT Broad Spectrum SPF 50. Meant for the whole body, it's water resistant for 80 minutes and fine for all skin types. This is a little thicker going on, and is richer for the staying power. Again, for all the zinc oxide products out there, this company makes it invisible- though it needs to soak in a bit with the Sport version.
Z. Bigatti Restoration Enzyme Facial Mask - I have been using this for years. It's $125 but if you do it once a month or longer it lasts for a year plus. When I lived in NYC and LA before that I used to get a facial and pay anywhere from $45-60 a pop to add on a fruit enzyme peel. If you add up how many of those would fit into this jar at that price instead, it would be $540-720 for the same. It made my face look brighter and my skin was so soft and fresh....
I was a big fan of the original Bliss Spa in NYC when I lived there. This is essentially their oxygen treatment in a bottle which perks up dull, tired skin. It smells absolutely divine - like fresh oranges and it FOAMS. I keep it in the shower, pump out a little on my fingertips, rub around my face and wait. In seconds it starts to foam up - that's the oxygen molecules and detoxifiers releasing. The foam is delicate, not thickneeds to sitI do the rest of my shower keeping my face/neck and sometimes my décolletage free of the water. Buy on Bliss.com for $56. It will last you for a few years! SUCH a great gift!
TIP: Bliss has many deals and discounts once we get closer to December 24. Also, it's sold at Sephora, and you can get deals sometimes, especially if you are a member of their program.

This shampoo is da bomb. I have hair that's neither truly curly nor silky straight. Left to it's own devices, it can look very frizzy and fly away. Things changed a lot in my hair texture when I began using SOMA Hair Technology weightless shampoo. It adds volume without flattening it down - which is especially great for those with fine hair. The ingredients help to repair hair shafts, bind the cuticle and add volume - and my hair has never been softer! If this sounds like you, give it a try. Or check out the shampoos, conditioners and gels for different hair types. And it's 100% vegan. I buy it by the jug now! $16 for the 16 Fl oz bottle, about $32 for the 64 oz jug. (Again, Google till you find the right price and supplier for you).
