Ingredient Profile: Jojoba Oil

Jojoba Oil is a botanical extract of the seed of the Jojoba tree. This miraculous oil was prized by Native Americans and considered to have mystical healing properties. These powers were reinforced when scientists discovered jojoba's similarity to the naturally occurring oils in our skin - sebum. When Jojoba Oil is applied to the skin, it can actually trick the skin into thinking it is producing these oils, which in turn can help to balance the skin's oil production.
In addition, this amazing ingredient is a super moisturizer with powerful penetration abilities that leaves skin soft and supple.

A Spring in Your Step

Spring is in the air and this change in the weather also calls for a change in your makeup routine. Spring makeup should be light and fresh and represent how the first stages of spring make you feel - optimistic and cheerful. A sure way to lighten up your regular routine for the new season is with glowing skin and pretty pastals. With more moisture in the air, you can switch to a lightweight tinted moisturizer rather than a heavier foundation - which will help to add a dewy base to the skin while still providing coverage. Follow with a natural blush applied to the apples of your cheeks, which will brighten up a dull winter complexion with an all over rosy glow. Finally, top it all off with a quick application of a shiny lip gloss for a fun, playful look.

Illuminating Makeup

So often, makeup is used to cover up imperfections rather than enhance your natural beauty. Erno Laszlo skincare is all about the belief that everyone can have beautiful skin and our makeup is no different. We formulate these products specifically to help display that beautiful Erno Laszlo complexion in the best possible light. That is why many of our products contain an illuminating element to help your inner glow shine through!

Highlighted Beauty - Our Multi-pHase Highlighter will help to instantly enhance the complexion with a fresh, radiant glow.

Flawless Finish - Our Regular Normalizer Shake It has a hint of color that evens out skin tone while letting your skin's natural luminescence shine through.

Depuff Your Eyes

Fluid retention around the eyes can be caused by a myriad of things from eating too much salt to a night of hard partying and drinking. No matter the cause, the results are hard to wake up to! Our cure for under eye puffiness is the amazing Antioxidant Complex for Eyes. This cooling formula helps to reduce inflammation while brightening and firming the delicate skin under your eyes. Below are some additional quick fixes that may help you when on the run.

1. Cool Down: A cold compress to the area catalyzes circulation and helps to bring down puffiness quickly. In a jam? A bag of frozen veggies will do the trick!
2. Hold Your Head High: When going to sleep, prop your head on two or more pillows, the change in gravity will help to reduce any swelling that occurs overnight.
3. Prevention is the Key: If you know your night holds a good amount of drinking or salty food - be sure to drink lots of water. This can help dilute salt retention.

Hands On Skincare

We use them daily, in work, in play, in how we say hello but it is often the case that hands are the one part of the body we neglect the most. We pamper our face, slather lotion all over our legs but somehow we forget about the hands. The truth of the matter is that hands are one of the first places that show age and are sometimes a perfect indicator of how old somebody really is. They are constantly exposed to wear and tear, weather and sunlight - all which can produce age detecting eyesores like spots, dryness and thinning of skin. Below are some ways to fight some of these common hand concerns and keep them looking as young as you tell everyone you are!

Dry Skin: Harsh household cleaning products and the over washing of hands can really dry out the delicate skin. This is why it is important to wash hands with warm water and a gentle, moisturizing body soap! Try our Hydra Therapy Cream Soap.

Sun-Damage: Avoid fine lines and age spots by protecting your hands against the elements daily. Using a hand moisturizer with SPF is the perfect way to make sure your hands are protected. Try our Intensive Hand Cream SPF 25.

Roughness: There is nothing worse than shaking a hand that feels like a cactus. Dry knuckles and rough hand skin are both common results of weather beaten mitts. You can solve this easily with a quick exfoliation treatment on your hands. Massage a small amount of our Gentle Body Exfoliator into the backs of hands weekly to loosen dead skin cells and produce the soft hands you dream of.

Spring Cleaning

The weather is finally starting to warm all around the country - giving us a sneak peak at the long anticipated springtime temperatures! As happy as this makes most of us in cooler climates, that sunshine also means the beginning of spring cleaning season. This is the time to shake out the dust bunnies that have collected over the winter and ready ourselves for a new season - and that also means your skincare regime! Erno Laszlo has some of the best bar soaps in the business so we thought it would be helpful to offer a little refresher course on our award winning facial cleansers.
