An amazing thing happened on the way to the news this
morning, Martha Stewart gave an exclusive, and ridiculously thorough, glimpse
into her skin-care rituals for a piece in the New York Times. As a skin-care
fiend, this Top Shelf-esque article is worth the read, and re-read.
She swears by Yon-Ka, so that’s sure to become a household
name any day now. An esthetician at Equinox told me about Yon-Ka a few years ago and I
quickly ordered a few products online at a rather reasonable price point. My
personal recommendations are the Gomage 305, Serum, and Crème 15. Now, thanks
to Martha’s inspiration, I will try the Gomage 305 in the morning pre-shower as
oppose to sporadic blocks of irregular free time.
SkinCeuticals also makes Martha’s name-dropping escapade.
This is a well-respected brand, particularly by dermatologists, but I have had
mixed results with the products. The CE Ferulic Serum is constantly touted as
the only serum you need and it does wonders for your complexion. I also
love the sunscreen. It’s zinc-heavy and goes on as a rich moisturizer that
lasts throughout the day. However, a few products did not deliver outstanding
results. The Physical Fusion UV Defense that Martha cites is not my favorite
thing in the world. It is a greasy attempt at a tinted moisturizer and left
skin imperfections (aka breakouts) after every use. So, proceed with caution.
Additional Personal recommendations from Martha’s Cabinet:
- Bobbi Brown bronzer is amazing. A little bit gives you the perfect, natural tan.
- Buxom Lip Gloss in any color (I have Sugar on my desk.) is flattering, and tastes delicious.
- Clinique High Impact Mascara is a classic standby. Gets the job done and washes off easily.
