Carma Laboratories Inc., the maker of Carmex lip balm products, today announced the launch of an exciting new skin care product line: Carmex Healing Lotion and Carmex Healing Cream. The two products were developed in response to consumer demand. The new skin care line provides the healing effect that customers expect from Carmex without feeling greasy. Carmex skin care products will be available exclusively at all Walgreens drug stores in the U.S. and Walgreens.com beginning in August 2010 and through Drugstore.com beginning in September.

Does a sunny yellow dress or bag make you feel happy or give you a little more pep in your step? If so, that could be the result of what Chromatherapy says is a benefit to being exposed to the color yellow.
Colour therapy (or chromotherapy) is an ancient form of therapy that recognizes certain colors are infused with healing and balancing energies. KROIA is a line of foaming moisturizers based on Chromatherapy developed by Karla Farach (whom I had the pleasure of meeting at a event at Georgia beauty boutique in NYC where she first introduced me to the line).
Farach believes that combining the principles of of chromotherapy the holistic practice of color-as-medicine, with gemstones and natural plant extracts, will bring harmony and balance to the skin. There are three skin lines which are the Energizing Yellow Therapy, which I tested, as well as the Age Defying Pink Therapy and Soothing Blue Therapy. All three contain natural topaz crystal, ginseng and neroli flower extract.
I liked using a foaming moisturizer as a change of pace. The foam is very fine and soft (not like a typical shaving cream), and since it liquefied on contact, spread easily on my skin. It absorbed very quickly, while leaving a wonderful layer of moisture and sheen. The fragrance was also a fantastic, slightly citrus scent. After using on a regular basis, I saw a nice glow to the skin, and loved how light in feel the foam was, especially on very hot days. The container is light and slim, so it’s also easy to pack for travel of the gym.
This is a wonderful product for those of you looking to brighten and hydrate skin, and provide a larger benefit to your whole being at the same time! – RLB

If your image of Tone is their classic cream soap bar, you’re in for a fun surprise in your drugstore isle.
Tone now has a wonderful new body wash gel called Daily Detox, made with White Clay and Pink Jasmine for ultra hydration and a wonderful sensory experience.
I was really pleased with the creamy, thick texture of the white body wash (it didn’t feel “clay” like at all). It lathered and cleansed extremely well without making my skin feel liked it was stripped dry of moisture.
The scent is also a real winner here. It’s a beautiful soft white flower/pink jasmine hybrid which is very relaxing and feminine. What many of you will love is that the fragrance does remain on the skin, but dissipates nicely after rinsing off, so there’s no real competition with your other scented body care products or perfumes afterwards. However, if you only use the body wash, you will love the remaining, soft fragrance on your skin.
The price is fantastic and the bottle is large, making this a smart buy as well! – RLB
