From minimizing pores to providing protection against UV rays, this summer skin care staple gives everyone a reason to celebrate!

    The Mystery of Blue Copper 5 by @osmoticsbeauty

    Copper in beauty products have brought forth incredible results. When beauty meets science in a brand like Osmotics Skincare, cool things are bound to happen.  Copper, an essential mineral for skin health, combined with collagen boosting 5-chain peptide work together at a cellular level to fortify the skin against visible signs of aging. Non-comedogenic, no artifical colors or fragrances and perfect for all skin types.

    It’s mysterious to me how technology like this works on the layers of your skin. The point that caught my eye for the Blue Copper 5 Cleansing Gel is that it can safely remove eye makeup as well.   I put a bit on my Clarsonia Mia and tried it out last week. The scent is very light and the gel is a clear blue consistency. It like almost like aloe vera gel, which is one of its ingredients too.  It did remove my eye make up and left my skin feeling refreshed.  Since I turned 28 recently, I am totally down for anti aging products!

    Founded by skincare pioneer Francine Porter in 1993, Osmotics Cosmeceuticals has consistently delivered groundbreaking skincare technologies, leading the way in first-to-market innovations. With an emphasis on efficacy and results, Osmotics Cosmeceuticals not only offers consumers clinically-proven treatments, but educates them as well by sidestepping industry jargon to convey its message in a clear, concise and approachable manner.

    WHERE TO FIND IT: Available at select Nordstrom, Dillard’s, Henri Bendel locations, as well as independent boutiques and spas or at www.osmotics.com

    DermaQuest K-Q10 Rich Moisturizer

    My mom is not a big fan of makeup but she is definitely a skincare fanatic.  I know that Asian women spend a whole ton of time on their face and skin is #1 on their list.  A glowing soft complexion free of blemish, large pores and scars is the most desirable.  Back in the day, baby skin means you weren’t out in the fields working and because you stay indoors, your skin is virtually perfect.  This mentality of course is not practical for 2012!

    Skin regenerates the most when you are sleeping so a great moisturizer is the most important. DermaQuest K-Q10 Rich Moisturizer utilizes powerful antioxidants and natural exfoliators to help diminish the visible signs of aging while providing rich, deep hydration. Formulated to fight free-radical damage, reduce fine lines and wrinkles and lift and firm the skin.

    DermaQuest offers scientifically proven formulas to help you achieve healthy, youthful and clear skin. From their inception in 1999, they have produced high-performance products and are committed to focusing on the practical science of skin care. Each line is formulated to address specific skin conditions ranging from anti-aging to acne. Their mineral-based makeup line perfects and improves the overall condition of your complexion. Their state-of-the art facility and on-site lab continue to create skin therapy products that are not tested on animals and remain gentle on the skin.

    You can get it on DermStore!
