The products are designed to achieve dual benefits, with inner and outer action.  With just one stroke you'll see visible results and achieve high skincare benefits.  Skin appears dramatically more luminous, translucent and smoother and make-up finish is enhanced.

Instant-Glow - 50ml - $60 - renews fatigued, dull and imperfect skin and resets it to an ideal state.  Kin immediately appears more luminous, smooth, supple and remains hydrated for 24 hours.  In 4 weeks, skin feels healthier, revitalized and renewed, with refined skin texture.  Suitable for sensitive skin.  It's used in the morning after cleansing in place of  your serum and/or moisturizer and followed by sunscreen and your usual primer and foundation.

Instant-Glow contains for inner action: Citrus Complex, made from the extracts of Sweet Orange and Bitter Orange which is designed to boost micro-circulation to revitalize the skin for a rosy complexion; Meadowfoam Seed Oil to help smooth skin texture; Ginkgo Extract to help to limit oxidation acting as a skin defender; Depsea water to help improve skin's self-moisturizing ability and enhances skin's translucent look; and HEPES to help to enhance exfoliation to re-texturize the skin's surface with conditioned micro-relief.

    A beauty secret I recently heard on Dr. Oz is to use Milk of Magnesia as a face mask for oily skin. Apparently it absorbs more oil than any mud mask can.

    Secret is every time I walk into a coffee shop I am reminded of Canada. I never mention it because I don't think anyone would understand but there is something about the smell and atmosphere that takes me back to my trip to Vancouver 5 years ago. I miss it a lot.

  19. My best beauty secret so far is not so secret, but SPF in everything. I basically use sunscreen as body lotion everyday. I put it all over my body, even if I am not exposing the area. I emphasize putting it on my neck, chest and face. I work in health care and see the damage the sun can do to skin, and I don't want any part of it!
