SKIN DEEP
With all of the lotions, potions and creams on the market to fight every sign of aging on your face, it’s no wonder that beauty companies are taking their formulations and reconfiguring them for your body as well. Here’s a look at some of the latest in luxury anti-aging products that fight the hands of time from the neck down.
1. SkinCeuticals AOX Body Treatment, $85, SkinCeuticals.com
This three-in-one product exfoliates while adding antioxidants and moisturizers to your skin through Vitamin E and purified grape polyphenols. Typically, these ingredients are found in facial skin-care products, but now SkinCeuticals is applying them to the body as well. This body treatment helps protect against damaging environmental aggressors, lightly exfoliates dead skin cells and deeply moisturizes dehydrated areas for smoother, healthier-looking skin.
2. Elemis Pro-Collagen Radiantly Smooth Body Cream, $162, Nordstrom at Fashion Show mall
This British brand is best known for its cult-favorite Pro-Collagen Marine Cream. Now it takes on anti-aging body care with the launch of the Pro-Collagen Radiantly Smooth Body Cream. It combines a luxurious soufflé texture with iridescent sheen and the aromas of rose and mimosa. This body cream deeply hydrates the skin while smoothing out crepe-like skin texture and leaving it with a youthful glow.
3. Fresh Sugar Acai Age Delay Body Cream, $65, Fresh at the Forum Shops at Ceasars
The secret to this body cream is the skin-restoring properties of Açaí, a "super berry" found deep in the Brazilian Amazon rain forest that helps to improve overall appearance of the body. Açaí oil is a powerful antioxidant rich in essential fatty acids, vitamins and fibers. Sugar in the product naturally helps retain moisture and smoothes the skin. The body moisturizer helps nourish, protect and firm the skin.
4. La Mer The Body Crème, $195, Neiman Marcus at Fashion Show mall
Saturate the skin in a wave of long-lasting hydration with this sumptuous moisturizer. Think of it as a seaweed wrap in a jar, infusing skin with moisture to help break the cycle of dryness and dehydration. An exclusive Micro-Algae Complex comforts and renews skin on contact, calming and cushioning even the driest of skin as it is enveloped in the therapeutic effects of the sea.
5. La Prarie Skin Caviar Luxe Body Cream, $375, Neiman Marcus at Fashion Show mall
This luxurious body cream instantly drenches skin in rich, extravagant moisture. It lightly exfoliates and smoothes uneven skin tone and protects against free radical damage. The cream lifts, firms and energizes leaving your body as smooth and plump as your face.
