Imagine taking a pile of finely ground sugar cane (smooth as mushy sand) and adding an organic puree of whole fruit blueberries and non-gmo organic yogurt. Sounds like a smoothie right? It’s not. It is Eminence’s Blueberry Soy Sugar Scrub and it is divine. The facial cocktail starts out a deep purply blue color but when you add water it foams into a white yogurt paste and the fine sugar crystals exfoliate your skin until it is literally scrubbed into a smooth, dewy, delicious surface nourished and refreshed. Enjoy!

Eminence launched a new line of Citrus Facial Products earlier this year. The line includes: Citrus Exfoliating Wash, Lime Refresh Tonique, Pink Grapefruit Clarifying Masque, Pink Grapefruit Vitality Masque, Pink Grapefruit C Gel, and Mandarin Grapefruit Body Butter. (We absolutely can not keep up with the Lime Refreshing Tonique orders!) We are overjoyed about the new line but and today we to used the Pink Grapefruit Clarifying Masque to reduce sucsessfully reduce a volcanic-sized zit. We have always found a face mask has the power to brighten our outlook and our skin.

This product is perfect. It feels like a rich creamy milk bath filled with large chunks of grapefruit. A surprising combination of powerful astringent and milky comfort. It oozes a muted tanginess that provides essentail nutireints for our skin.

Benefits:
• Removes impurities from the skin
• Helps heal and prevent blemishes
• Balances excess sebum production
• Infuses high levels of antioxidant vitamin-C and bioflavonoids

We are excited to introduce the latest launch from SkinCeuticals, Phloretin CF.

The Ladies of Beauty Gone Green are gearing up for some lovely adventures in Beauty Travel. We can’t wait to bring you the latest from our trips where we search the world over to bring you the best beauty products. Our two must-have travel products are both from YonKa Paris, our most favorite, traditional, French skincare line. Yonka’s Gel Nettoyant and Lait Nettoyant both act as nutritious, healing cleansers and makeup removers in one.  If your skin is more dry opt for the Lait. However if change of climate and stress leave your skin oily, simply trade the Lait out for the Gel.

Travel and endless business meetings, (yes even beauty business) can leave a girl’s skin somewhat exhausted. Lait Nettoyant is a “thorough and gentle cleansing agent that revives the skin’s protective lipids, leaving the complexion feeling soft and alive. The skin is sumptuously cleansed with a luxurious sensation of comfort. The complexion is smooth and hydrated with a satiny finish to the touch.”   And they are not just saying that. If we were not in the business of trying new products we’re pretty sure these two would hold the exclusive rights to our toiletry’s bags prime real estate. They both also adeptly remove layers upon layers of makeup in the blink of an overly made up eye. Also, a dab of either product on the end of a q-tip is the best way to correct faulty makeup application. YonKa really is a girl’s best friend.

We recommend the clarisonic to everyone of our clients. In fact, this gizmo is Beauty Gone Green’s number one selling product. Not only does it prolong the effect of every facial and skin treatment, it dramatically enhances the effect of your skin care regement. If we are paying eighty dollars for eye creams, shouldn’t we be getting the most we can out of them? With 300 movements per second this sonic skin care brush will reveal skin you never knew you had. In fact we have even cleansed with the highest quality makeup removers and cleansers only to find that this little device still retrieves more residue and dirt. We know it’s pricey at around two hundred dollars but we guarantee it will save you money on product and treatments. Come to think of it we may be putting ourselves out of business with this little device but no matter, amazing skin is worth it!

We are travelling and it’s summer. So we are a little oily. Every moisturizer we have tried does nothing but add to the wellspring of oil flowing from our pores. Then we remembered we have Eminence Organics Coconut Milk Cleanser in our travel bag. With a cleanser this rich and moist (it’s akin to slathering your face in a coconut milkshake) we don’t even need a moisturizer. No really. We went straight from Coconut Milk Cleanser to Minerals this morning and we’ve been complimented all day!

For an ultra-luxurious treat combine the lemon cleanser and the coconut milk cleanser. No matter where you are you will be whisked to the beauty of a tropical island, glowing skin and all.
