Floral Scents from Prada and Nina Ricci

 



Officially summer doesn't end for another few weeks, but the unofficial finish line is in sight-dreaded Labor Day, when, alas, we start to think of back-to-school, back-t

By this time, your furs should have gone to summer camp -- if they haven't, now is definitely the time. Don't think that keeping them sequestered in the back of a closet in an air-conditioned apart

REphase: Italy's Legendary Skin Products Are Here

Developed in Italy, the REphase line of beauty and skin care products-cosmecuticals, if you will-was designed to work progressively in stages, treating problems as they develop, as the skin ages and evolves, transitioning from age to another.  Since 2006, these legendary products have been on sale in Europe, but not available in the States, so those of us in the New World have not had the advantage of using these miraculous potions, unless we brought them home from the Old World.  If you were fortunate enough to go to Europe, and if you'd sampled them there and carted them westward, you'd have been transformed into a regular client in no time flat; the only thing standing between you and daily use would have been the Atlantic.

But now, an ocean need not prevent you from securing and using REphase.  Of the family of 29 products (and more to come), a half dozen or so (at least for now), are available on line and through a toll-free number, 888-580-4650. They include Bio-Scrub (with mother-of-pearl crystals); D-White (helps to remove uneven skin tones and age spots); Kollagen (for repairing wrinkles and dealing with the loss of elasticity); Microspheres 36 (rejuvenates mature skin and attacks deep wrinkles and furrows); Laser (helps to manufacture collagen to keep ski wrinkle-free); Ultimate (designed to be a Botox alternative!).  Prices range from about $55 to $225.

Subjected to serious clinical trials, the products are among Italy's best beauty exports; according to company literature, products are manufactured with pharmaceutical-grade ingredients, making them just a step removed from prescription-authorized products.  All are hypo-allergenic and are completely natural, using 99.9% pure pharmaceutically classified ingredients.  But, enough jargon.

The 4-1-1 on Goldie Hand Treatment, one of the company's banner products, is that it is an innovative, triple-threat in combating dryness, age spots/freckles, and general aging.  Used twice daily, it has been shown to be effective in making hands look younger and more elastic.  With summer tanning season starting-and more freckles on the way-it's assuredly worth a shot to try Goldie and aim for platinum, if not golden results.
