organic beauty: Cecilia Wong Skincare

i was fortunate enough to receive samples of Cecilia Wong's amazing anti-aging, organic line of products and, well...i'm loving them!

products i used include, but are not limited to, Awakening Gel Cleanser, Rejuvenating Toner mist, and moisturizer {for oily/overactive skin}.

free of all the yucky parabens, sulfates or artificial colors and fragrances, the cleanser has a name that is perfect fit for its name, awakening. the formula is refreshing, smells bright with citrus, and leaves my skin so clean, without over-drying it...

the rejuvenating toner keeps hydration levels up in my skin with luxe ingredients like chamomile water, rosemary and lavender {ahhh...},

and topped with the moisturizer, my skin was always left looking fabulously radiant.


visit the Cecilia Wong website to learn more about this beautiful line, its creator, and if you're in the nyc area, you can treat your skin to a facial at her park avenue spa!

natural beauty: Bioelements All Things Pure

one of my favorite skincare brands, Bioelements, recently introduced a new line of products called All Things Pure, and it's pretty delicious for the skin.

there are 4 products in the collection, suitable for all skin types, and all of which have been awarded with the Natural Products Association Seal. take a look...




All Things Pure Cleanser is a creamy, soap-free formula made with a blend of natural bentonite clay that works to cleanse away excess dirt and oils. jojoba seed oil, chamomile and aloe vera helps soothe skin while leaving it clean and soft.




the Eye Oil is unique in that it can be used both around the eyes and on the face. it contains essential oils to give skin (especially around the eyes) a moisture-rich, nourishing treat. i love the yummy lavender scent-- perfectly soothing before bed, and actually energizing each morning (let it soak in before applying makeup).




to keep skin exfoliated and polished, the All Things Pure Scrub is my favorite. it contains curative chinese grains and organic oils (sunflower, jojoba and evening primrose) that scrub away dead, skin-dulling cells. the best thing about it is that the grains actually melt away as it's rubbed into the skin, and the oils leave skin feeling so smooth!




finally, the Moisturizer (rich and emollient, but not too heavy) gives my skin a fabulous drink of moisture with ingredients like purified water and shea butter. i love to use this cream especially at night to wake up with a refreshed-skin look.


if you love organic products, these are definitely worth checking out. each product is wonderful and would work well with your current skincare regimen.

100% Pure and Natural Oils from Suki

you may know that "oil-free" has been the mantra to live by-- virtually all skincare consumers have been taught to believe that all products containing oil equals overly greasy, clogged and blemished skin.

that's not true! Suki Kramer, creator and formulator of Suki advanced, also feels the same way.

"organic botanical oils like jojoba, actually mimic the skin's own sebum, so it absorbs well and helps balance the skin so oil glands do not go into overproduction mode." this means, they can actually help the skin.

"when products are formulated with the right kind of oil, they can address and even cure just about any skin issue, blowing those touted "oil-free" labels right out of the water."

the weather will be cooling off soon (it can't come soon enough!), and moisture will go missing from the air, so there's nothing like nourishing the skin to keep it hydrated and healthy.

check out some of Suki's products:



delicate hydrating oil, for the body, pairs 100% pure rose oil and apricot kernel oils to nourish the skin without any leftover greasy feel. organic arnica extract and organic chamomile extract heal and sooth dry, crack and irritated skin, not to mention its convenient pump packaging eliminates any messy spillage or slipping!





pure facial moisture – balancing, is formulated with organic jojoba, organic grapeseed and organic hazelnut oils to impart skin balancing nourishment, along with organic echinacea and lavender extracts to prevent and address acne-prone and blemished skin types. synthetic based anti-acne treatments have nothing on this miracle worker!




pure facial moisture – nourishing, contains a deeply moisturizing cocktail of organic carrot seed oil, organic evening primrose oil and organic grapeseed oil all omega-rich antioxidants and free radical scavengers. rosacea, dry and fragile skin sufferers swear by this product.


available at Whole Foods nationwide and sukipure.com, all Suki products are 100% pure, natural and never contain any synthetic or harsh ingredients.
