True Luxury
When I hear someone talking about La Mer, I automatically think of luxury. Every product that I’ve ever tried from them has left me oohing and ahhing over it, so when I got the chance to test out their Body Refiner and Body Creme duo, I couldn’t say yes fast enough. (Seriously, I think I hit “reply” before I even finished reading the e-mail!) It’s a two part process that starts with the Body Refiner. It’s a thick, creamy exfoliator that uses acidic sea muds to detoxify and purify your skin. It’s light green in color, but the truly amazing part is that it contains polished sea quartz and pure diamond powder to carry out the exfoliation. Loretta Miraglia, SVP of Produce Development and Innovation, explains that “to create the most effective exfoliator on earth, we incorporated the hardest material on earth – diamonds. When diamonds are crushed and polished they provide an extremely thorough yet gentle exfoliation. Each Body Refiner contains over one and a half carats of diamond dust to lavish the skin with extraordinary softness.” The crazy thing is that after you massage the Body Refiner into your skin, you can totally see the diamond dust sparkling on it. It’s just really cool (for lack of a better term). Every time I use it, I can’t stop looking at my skin afterwards because it looks so amazing. (It’s the beauty product equivalent of wearing a new engagement ring!) And once you’ve massaged it in, La Mer’s electrically-charged minerals convert the massage action into energy, which helps to stimulate your circulation and awaken your skin.
All that is to help prep your body for the second part of the treatment, the Body Creme. Although you can (of course) use them separately, together they make a great combination that leaves my skin glowing. The Body Creme is a rich, body moisturizer that La Mer calls a “seaweed wrap in a jar.” It’s thick and comforting, but not at all greasy, and it absorbs into your skin quickly, leaving it protected against dehydration. (So important during the winter months). La Mer recommends that you use the Body Refiner once or twice a week followed by the Body Creme to see the best results and after only two weeks of doing it, I can definitely feel the difference in my skin. La Mer might be pricey, but if you’re going to treat yourself to something, there really isn’t a better skin care brand for seeing results. (I’m already sad for when my sample tubes run out!)
La Mer is available at select Saks Fifth Avenue, Neiman Marcus, and Bergdorf Goodman stores and online at www.lamer.com.
