My cry for help has been heard by a dear friend — let’s call her Stella — who happens to have maddeningly perfect skin. Stella is one of those girls who has long sacrificed having a tan in favor of porcelain skin year round and is just shocked when she sees me running around without a hat and sunglasses. Her devotion to her clear complexion has often been a heated topic of dinner conversation and she has been trying to get me to see her fancy dermatologist/aesthetician for a while. She reminded me of this after reading my last few posts, claiming that while it smells pretty, Lush has never done her any favors. While I am not about to give up my toner tabs or my Lady Godiva, it is clear I need something more potent.

Stella told me that she has been seeing Frankie Paige, an aesthetician who uses Dr. Kest’s Ayur-Medic line, for the last five years. Her regimen is the Anti-Bacterial Wash with Exfoliating Beads to improve her skin’s texture; the Clearifying Mask with cucumber to regulate surface oil production; and the Retinol Cream to fight signs of aging. She swears by this routine (when asked why some of the products are on sale her response was “I don’t know why… but I am buying some!”)

See the full assortment here. I am not quite ready to take the jump to see an expensive facialist and buy a range of products I have never tried. Has anyone else out there used Ayur-Medic? It’s staying on the shelf… for now.
