Spotlight on: Ole Henriksen


I recently told you about Ole Henriksen's Invigorating Night Gel, which is my all-time favorite skin care product, but I would like to highlight some of his other amazing products that I LOVE - all of them are ALL NATURAL, which means they are free of chemicals, perfumes, dyes, and parabins.  Amazing!

Even if you can't get to Los Angeles to get a spa treatment at his famed spa, you can certainly get the benefits of his well-priced and perfectly formulated line of products.
Ole Henriksen studied at Christine Shaw Beauty College in the 70s and by the mid-80s he was THE sought-after facialist!  His book "Ole Henriksen's Seven Day Skincare Program" [1986] was a HUGE success in conjunction with the launch of his best-known products, such as Cucumber Facial Toner.

Obviously, there are MANY products to choose from in his color-coded skincare lines, but I will give you my favorite pics!

Eye Cream:

I recently purchased Total Truth Eye Cream SPF 15

It's creamy and gave my eye area amazing hydration.  It smells amazing (which is a natural smell, there are no perfumes or dyes in his products!).  The SPF 15 is an added benefit, because it protects the thin skin around the eye area from premature aging!  It retails for $45, and is worth every penny!

Cleansers:

My first Ole Henriksen purchase was the Apricot Cleansing Lotion, which is for normal to dry skin.  It was winter time and my skin was in rough shape, I felt like my current cleanser was stripping my face.  So I gave this a try because I like the consistency (received a sample from Sephora and tried it and was amazed!)

Once springtime hit and my skin was oilier from the warmer temperatures, I decided to try his best-selling cleanser that has received countless awards for excelling in the all-natural and anti-aging category, his African Red Tea Foaming Cleanser
Winner of 2009's Natural Health Beauty Award, and an amazing cleanser that removes makeup, dirt, oil and other impurities completely, leaving skin feeling soft, not stripped.  Contains, vitamin C, African red tea, and tangerine extract!  Works on all skin types.

(hint:  go to http://www.olehenriksen.com/ and you can purchase a travel size for $9!  What a perfect way to try this amazing product!)

Moisturizer:

For dry, stressed or sensitive skin (amazing in the winter for combination skin) is the Nurture Me Cream

The perfect moisturizer for all skin types is his Sheer Transformation Cream
