Wedding Skin Care: The Final Touch
Originally published as Wedding Skin Care: The Final Touch from the Mario Badescu Skin Care Blog.
I’m not a big fan of sparkly cosmetics. Makeup and lotions that leave behind a bit of glitter are just not my thing. However, a bit of super subtle shimmer and glow is always welcome.
Enter: the Summer Shine Body Lotion.
My wedding dress is floor-length, but my shoulders, décolletage, and arms will be showing. With its lightweight hydration, gentle summery fragrance, and aforementioned glow, it will definitely be the final touch to my bridal assemblage before walking down the aisle (other than my veil, of course!). This body lotion is probably the easiest part of your wedding skin care routine!
And yea, I’m taking it on the honeymoon! My fiancĂ©e loves the light scent!

When You’re Over 50 And Your Acne Won’t Go Away
Originally published as When You’re Over 50 And Your Acne Won’t Go Away from the Mario Badescu Skin Care Blog.
Adult acne gets harder to treat as you get older, mainly because skin gets drier with age. Your skin’s protective barrier also begins to deplete, leaving your skin more vulnerable to irritation.
As I’m sure you know, many acne treatments are pretty drying. Plus, you’re probably concerned about the signs of aging, too, even as it seems as though your acne won’t go away. Fortunately, there are a number of tactics that can help both acne and aging at the same time (thank goodness!).
First, evaluate your current skin care and makeup regimen. Are you using any products that could potentially clog your pores, such as a thick, oil-based foundation or super-heavy creams? Hydration is essential, but it can be accomplished without layering on products that might cause acne. Look for lightweight moisturizers and hydrating serums. [Definitely check out: the Herbal Hydrating Serum, which is oil-free and actually layered over your moisturizer]
It’s also important not to reflexively use every product that says ‘acne’ on the bottle. For example, the Acne Facial Cleanser may not be the best choice for you, particularly if your skin is on the drier side.
Another thing: exfoliation is crucial. Use an Alpha-Hydroxy Acid-based cleanser, which is a great choice for both acne and aging. [We love the Glycolic Foaming Cleanser!}
Example Regimen for Dry, Acne-Prone, Mature Skin
Cleanser: Seaweed Cleansing Soap
Toner: Seaweed Cleansing Lotion
Moisturizer: Aloe Moisturizer SPF 15 for day, Seaweed Night Cream for night
Eye Cream: Glycolic Eye Cream
Serum: Herbal Hydrating Serum
Mask: Flower & Tonic Mask
Exfoliant: Glycolic Acid Toner
Spot Treatment: Drying Lotion

Never Do THIS To Your Skin
Originally published as Never Do THIS To Your Skin from the Mario Badescu Skin Care Blog.
Nothing good can come from being harsh with your skin. Determine what you can handle, and be careful not to cross that line. Take cooler, shorter showers and gently pat your skin dry with a clean towel after you wash your face. A calm face always looks healthier!
Does your skin ever just look red and mad at you? Check out: the oil-free Calma Mask.
Also: don’t tug at your eye area! Apply your toner in soft, sweeping motions. No need to rub the skin! And—whatever you do—don’t squeeze anything!
