For a Great Finnish, Start with Kaunis

I’ll admit, I’m lucky. I’ve always gotten a lot of compliments on my skin. I’m also lucky because I come from a long line of women who also have or had great skin. There’s no doubt in my mind that genetics play a big role in how my skin looks. But, I also have no doubt that a great skincare regime is key in keeping my skin in top condition.

There are a lot of beauty products out there…some good, some not so good. Of course since I’m so often in the public eye as an actress, I’m always looking for great products to help me keep my skin healthy and clear. That’s why I’m so glad my beautiful friend actress Anna Easteden asked me to try Kaunis!

20131120-124811.jpg

Actress Anna Easteden

Kaunis, which means “beauty” in Finnish, was a wonderful new concept in face masks for me. It surprised me as soon as I opened the package. To start off, it’s an actual mask, not a gel or cream that dries or hardens and is later removed with a wet washcloth. When you peel off the protective plastic layer, you find a soft fabric mask saturated in a lightly scented serum. It comes in two formulas that you can choose from: Soothing or Anti-Aging.

20131120-134416.jpg

All you do is smooth the mask on and let it sit for 15-20 minutes after washing and drying your face. The look is a little Phantom of the Opera but the results are definitely worth it!

Once you peel away the mask, your skin is left feeling moist, soft and supple and has a beautiful glow. It also seems to give some extra firmness as well.

And you don’t even have to rinse your face afterwards. Just blend the remaining serum from the mask into your skin and apply any left over in the package to your hands and neck.

Another fantastic thing about Kaunis is that it’s made of natural organic ingredients and is cruelty-free (I’m a big animal lover, so this makes me especially happy!)

Last but not least, the packaging makes it perfect for traveling. With TSA size restrictions and limited suitcase space, taking your favorite skincare products on the road can be tough at times. But the handy Kaunis pouches tuck easily into even the smallest spaces.  I’m on my way to Las Vegas and there’s one in my purse right now!

Fruit for your skin

Remember, just because summer is over, doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy fresh produce at it’s peak in the Fall. When the air turns cool and the trees are ablaze with color, it’s time to taste the autumn harvest. Fall’s crop of fruits and vegetables offers a range of intense flavors and great textures. In autumn farmers’ markets and grocery stores are packed with fruits like apples, figs, pears, pumpkins, pomegranates, cranberries and even mangos.

On Charlotte Today, I showcased some fabulous beauty products that use these popular Fall fruits in their formulations and explained why they work.

The enzymes ( a group of complex proteins) in pumpkin make it a safe and natural exfoliator which is alternative to chemical peels. Also, loaded with antioxidants pumpkin protects skin cells from free radicals such as pollution, poor diet etc. The oil from the pumpkin seeds is uniquely beneficial for skin. It is rich in essential fatty acids that regulate proper skin sebum (oil) production, which makes it useful for both oily/acne-prone skin and dry skin.

Pomegranate makes for a great moisturizer. It promotes the production of collagen and elastin to give strength and support to the skin. It will slow down the formation of wrinkles and any age related “markings”.
