Healthy Beauty Awards
While we have to wait a little bit of time to see our favorite celebrities walk the red carpet for the well-known awards season, let's head on over to another kind of awards season. THE BEAUTY AWARDS. With thousands of different products on the market, it can be sometimes overwhelming to choose which product is right for you.
SELF Magazine asked their readers to help all of us ladies out. They had their readers test 1,643 products on the market today and found 87 winners for their SELF Magazine Healthy Beauty Awards. SELF began these awards because they noticed that their readers like to get the results that are promised from the packaging. So they will send out the products from the highest price to the lowest and regardless of the price, the readers choose what works the best.
I chatted with the SELF Magazine Beauty Director, Elaine D'Farley, about some of the winners in this year's awards.
Suave Professional Moroccan Infusion Dry Body Oil Spray. It's non-greasy formula works instantly and gives long-lasting moisture while making skin silky and radiant. This product has been clinically proven to work as well as moroccan oil and argan oil. It is rich in nutrients and antioxidants and has a light, luxurious scent. And the best part is that it's only $7 in mass retailers. Since this absorbs quickly, you can use it at any point in the day. After the shower will help to lock in moisture. If you work in an office where the air gets rather dry then you will want to consider keeping this on had to apply to your legs and arms. Unlike many lotions this won't leave any leftover grease on your hands or your clothes
Elizabeth Arden's Nutri-Vibe Treatment Booster. This anti-aging cleanser will improve your skincare regimen and take cleansing to a new level. It features a nutrient technology with bamboo bead exfoliants as well as active enzymes that will give a three-dimensional cleansing experience. This technology will leave zero residue and won't strip your skin of any natural oils. It can be found at Macy's and www.elizabetharden.com for $49.50.
Biore Ultra Deep Cleansing Pore Strips. They are formulated with tea tree oil and a little menthol to remove twice as much dirt and oil as the original strips. The strips will lock onto the those oils that cause blackheads in order to give you the deepest clean possible. You can give yourself a mini-facial by applying these after your normal cleansing routine to get your skin looking super clear.
Dove Advanced Care Deodorant and Nutrient Moisture. Perfect for this time of year since we are taking part in more outdoor activities and attending more weddings. It is long-lasting with a 48 hour odor and wetness protection to keep you feeling fresh and confident all day. It also helps with softer and smoother skin.

Nexxus Pre-wash Primer. This is ideal for those of you with color treated hair. It is the first pre-wash primer to come from Nexxus, and instantly shields your hair from color fade in the shower. It will help to repel the water and lock in the color with blends of oils like coconut, argan, and almond. They will give you two times longer color protection and all you have to do is apply a few pumps to your dry hair before shampooing. It's rather affordable at just $17.99 at your local drugstore.
