You swear you're getting in shape in 2010. Your body. Your soul. Your skin? A mask could jump-start a healthy routine, say experts, giving a boost beyond daily washing and moisturizing (both of which you should already be doing).

The biggest investment in a mask isn't necessarily monetary -- although some can be quite pricey. It's really about taking the time to research the right one for your skin type and then executing it properly. Many people do masks only when they treat themselves to a spa facial because there's someone else selecting the product, and spa-goers are somewhat of a captive audience, says Peter Thomas Roth, founder and formulator of his eponymous skin-care line.

Taking care of your skin is so important...it's out there for the world to see, and it has to last you a lifetime! A good skin care regimen is a daily commitment, but it should take only a few minutes. The results will be worth it! While a good dermatologist can help you tackle any serious skin issues, good skin care generally boils down to three key steps: cleanse, rejuvenate, and moisturize.

First, make washing your face a must-do part of your morning and nighttime routines ? and never, ever go to bed with makeup on! If you need a reminder, keep a gentle skin cleanser right out on the countertop. Next, at night, undo the day's damage to your skin with a concentrated repair serum.

These products pack a powerful punch and work like your very own fountain of youth. Finally, finish with a moisturizer that contains an SPF of at least 15 to help prevent signs of aging and keep your skin looking fresh and smooth.

If you'd like, add an eye cream or night cream for added defense against wrinkles. And there you have it! Having a gorgeous, healthy complexion isn't hard, and just as with exercise and eating right, the effort you invest today will really pay off in the long run! Go for the glow!

Many women believe that their breakouts may be due to an allergic reaction, acne, sensitive skin or simply miserable skin.

There are precise reasons for breakouts and while the above may be true, it can simply be due to your hormones.

Usually during your menstruation cycle, there may be evidence of breakouts-one week before menstruation, during and perhaps one week or thereabout after the cycle is complete.

Avalon Organics' natural skin care products have been highlighted for their eco-friendly and cost-effective ability to improve the complexion.

Ms Mackay was particularly impressed with the economy offered by Avalon's natural skin care product, remarking that it is "generously sized". "And it doesn't cost the earth," the writer added.

SHOPPING FOR FOUNDATION OR facial wash in today’s beauty counters is more complicated than ever. Dozens of skincare and makeup brands stacked together can be problematic to sift through, though one may know his or her skin type well.

Which noncomedogenic foundation should one buy? And which oil-free facial wash is the most effective? Where should one look for beauty products in the first place? The answer to these questions is the proper “editing and curating” of products like what Adora has done at its beauty section.

Located at the second floor and only a few steps away from the main entrance of the department store, the beauty department is just a fraction of the store’s total floor area. But each brand and item has been carefully considered before it is offered at the store. It’s almost like shopping from editor-selected offerings.
