Can you keep a secret? Well, neither can we! And we didn't believe it either, dear readers. But Lisa Hoffman Skincare at SkinStore is offering you a whopping 50-70% off during a sale that starts today, January 14th! Lisa Hoffman Skincare I am completely in love with Lisa Hoffman Skincare. In fact, her Lip Moisturizer from her Spa Facial collection is pure Vitamin E heaven for the lips that I keep it on my nightstand and apply it religiously, especially during this terrible and drying winter. It's as thick as honey and leaves my lips so incredibly shiny and soft. Better than Vaseline Petroleum Jelly that I used to swear by as a kid! And of course, every bit as good as my mainstay: Smith's Rosebud Salve. So what are the incredible Lisa Hoffman deals you can expect to find at Skinstore right now? The deals are so good you'll seriously want to stock up right away, for years to come. Look what we're eyeing! Lisa Hoffman Skincare Hydrating Mask and Booster Lisa Hoffman Hydrating Mask and Hydration Booster is $22.50 (formerly $45). The Lisa Hoffman Day Skincare set is now only $40.50 (from $90). The Spa Bath and Polisher Duo is now $30 from $80. There are quite a few more items too, so check them out! I have my eye on the Hydrating Mask because my skin parches up quite a bit during the winter, and apart from La Mer's Hydrating Facial, I haven't seen any other mask quench my skin like this product.
Here's one for the Guinness Book of Records: the World's Most Expensive Soap award goes to Cors Silver Soap, at $120 for 120 grams. So when a sample size landed on our desk, we jumped at the chance to put it through its paces. The soap is allegedly more miraculous than the Second Coming. What does it do? According to the press kit, plenty. It's claimed to deep cleanse the skin, minimize the appearance of wrinkles, even skin tone, fade age spots, plump, tone, hydrate, replenish collagen, heal surface skin, and provide UV protection. It can even be used as a spot treatment for blemishes. Cor Silver Soap The soap is being marketed as cost-effective because it supposedly replaces the need for multiple, expensive products that target individual skin issues. In other words, think of it as the Cadillac version of Olay's Total Effects. What makes this product worth its weight in gold (or in this case silver)? Let's go through the star ingredients one by one. Silver (which accounts for the cost of the soap) is a known antibacterial agent with healing properties that speed cell growth and repair. Four different kinds of collagen are supposed to stimulate collagen formation deep within the skin. Chitosan, a natural fiber, aids cellular rejuvenation, evens out skin tone, and balances oil levels. Sericin, a soluble protein made from silk, is moisture-binding and film-forming, locks in moisture and keeps UV rays out. Silver Obviously a soap with a $125 price tag has been thoroughly scrutinized by the beauty press, and the reviews have been mixed. SELF magazine named Cor Silver Soap as "Best Normal-Skin Cleanser" in 2007. On the other hand, skeptics say silver is more useful in healing wounds than in cleansing the skin, and regular soap does a perfectly good job.
