Girls, I'm KINDA farklempt because I just met What Not to Wear's Stacy London at a Pantene event whilst I was wearing THE LAMEST WORK OUTFIT. Ever. Ever in the world where we live as people. We even discussed it. But she was very nice and told me she liked my camel turtleneck (that seriously is from 2002) and could have totally just dressed it up with a high-waisted skirt and some heels. She's super tall and adorbs in person, BTW. And one of the most thoroughly entertaining people I've heard speak. She shared some "frugalista" budget fashion tips which I'll share later this week. In the meantime, onward with Product Polygamy Week!Today's topic is Skin Care. Check it.
FACIAL CLEANSER
The Barb: Dermalogica Medibac Clearing Skin Wash [I still go back to it when I sense a breakout coming on.]
The Nicki: Dermaquest Cosmeceuticals Oxygen (O2) Facial Commision
The Margene: Estee Lauder Nutritious Purifying 2-in-1 Cleanser ($35) This fave is so new, I haven't yet reviewed it so I'll just do it now! This VERY foamy cleanser is fab in the morning, but also rocks as a mask in the evening. It contains magnetic clay to remove dirt. I find it's a slightly more recession-friendly version of CHANEL Mousse Doucer with the added bonus of being a multi-tasker.
FACIAL MOISTURIZER
The Barb: CHANEL Sublimage Essential Regenerating Creme
The Nicki: Givenchy Le Soin Noir
The Margene: CHANEL Sublimage Essential Regeneraging Cream [The textbook example of a Margene: this lighter-textured dream cream is a recalibrated twist on the orig. It's perfect for my combo skin.]
FACIAL MASK (They're all oxygen masks, is that weird? I just love me some O.)
The Barb: Philosophy's The Oxygen Peel
The Nicki: Bliss Triple Oxygen Mask
The Margene: Peter Thomas Roth Detoxifying Oxygen Mask ($54) This brightening O mask is the perfect hangover antidote. Not that that ever happens to me. Well, not today anyway. Seriously. It brightens and detoxes like no other. Just rub a small bit on the back of your hand and you'll see smoother, lighter, brighter skin in seconds. SECONDS. It's a weekly treat I can't live without.

Re cleansing: Have you tried Clarisonic Pro? http://www.clarisonic.com/
We all love it (at our medspa, Ageless Remedies SouthPark in Charlotte, NC) and so do our clients. It's also an Oprah favorite.
