Rhode Island company turns veggies into skin care

Organic product line contains no harsh chemicals

If you're worried about harsh chemicals in your skin care products, a Rhode Island company may have an alternative for you. Bryce Organics is based in Bristol, producing a skin care product line free of artificial dyes, fragrances and other chemicals. Instead, the products contain fresh fruit and vegetable purees.

"When I was young, I used to make organic fruit smoothies. So, I decided to incorporate that into a skin care line," said Adrian Bryce Diorio, who founded Bryce Organics three years ago. "Everything we make is made in small batches. So, for each order the product is made specially for that order. No mass production."

You can check out their products at the Bryce Website

I don't know if they work, but they LOOK delicious!

La Vie Celeste – an interview with founder Teri Dourmashkin

Fifteen years after the initial seed was planted for her skincare line, Dr. Teri Dourmashkin created La Vie Celeste, a brand dedicated to versatile, green yet luxurious products. I spoke to Teri in depth about some key ingredients that she features, her stance on the use of preservatives in cosmetics, and what the future holds for La Vie Celeste.

What other ingredients do you see as essential to anti-aging other than R-Lipoic Acid?


Green tea, spirulina pomegranate, olive leave extract, and hyaluronic acid are all great when used at the right concentrations.

First-Ever Olay Facial Cleansing Tool Cleanses like the Professional but for Less

Introducing Olay Professional Pro-X Advanced Cleansing System



— Are you looking to take your facial cleansing routine to the next level? If you want daily deep cleansing and gentle exfoliation without the professional price tag, it’s time to turn to the experts at Olay Professional Pro-X. Continuously delivering cutting-edge product innovation to combat the signs of aging, the advanced skin care product line introduces the new Olay Professional Pro-X Advanced Cleansing System, the first at-home facial cleansing tool that cleanses and exfoliates as effectively as a professional cleansing system costing nearly $200*!



Designed by the Olay Professional Alliance for Skin Care Innovation, a group of renowned dermatologists and Olay Scientists, the Olay Professional Pro-X Advanced Cleansing System provides gentle cleansing and exfoliation, removes dry skin cells and promotes cell turnover at a fraction of the cost as compared to a more expensive professional cleansing system. The tool’s micro-massaging action helps maximize the immediate hydrating effectiveness of your anti-aging moisturizer.


“The secret to Olay Professional Pro-X Advanced Cleansing System’s effective cleansing is in the rotating bristles,” says Dr. Greg Hillebrand, P&G Beauty Science. “As the tool’s two-speed brush head spins on skin, individual bristles gently lift and remove dirt and dead skin from the surface, allowing for a clean, gentle rinse.”


PROFESSIONAL PERFORMANCE
According to leading dermatologists, a professional cleansing system helps to gently prepare the skin for the treatments to follow. The Olay Professional Pro-X Advanced Cleansing System was shown to:


•Prime skin for treatments by thoroughly cleansing
•Cleanse 6x better than basic cleansing alone to reveal brighter, smoother skin with each use
•Help maximize the immediate hydrating effectiveness of anti-aging moisturizers
◦In a recent study conducted with 19 women, the Olay Professional Pro-X Wrinkle Smoothing Cream hydrated skin better after one hour when used after the Olay Professional Pro-X Advanced Cleansing System than when used after the cleanser alone.


Women who tested the Olay Professional Pro-X Advanced Cleansing System agree that it performs as well as a more expensive professional cleansing system for exfoliation and cleansing.


“Cleansing is the essential first step in any skin care routine, yet it’s often overlooked,” says Dermatologist Susan H. Weinkle, M.D., Assistant Clinical Professor, University of South Florida and Olay Professional Alliance for Skin Care Innovation member. “Olay Professional Pro-X Advanced Cleansing System effectively and gently polishes away dry skin cells.”
