The one product I just can't live without.

People ask me all the time what I use on my skin. The honest answer is: a lot of different things. I don't do the same thing every day. Not only do I find it boring, so does my skin. You don't go to the gym, only doing bicep curls, and expect to have washboard abs. Changing it up is good. It's really more a rotation of products all containing the different elements that make up, what I call the "repertoire of anti-age" which is really my skin's circuit training program for aging gracefully.

That being said, there is one thing that I simply can not live without. It really is my secret weapon for glowing, absolutely beautiful skin. Lotion P50 - the piece de resistance by cherished French company Biologique Rechereche. There is no doubt about it. Not only is this one of the most esteemed of all skin care lines around, this particular product has a cult following by the most in-the-know beauty devotees from here to Dubai, quite literally. There is simply no other single product out there like it. I have used it every day for years. I can't imagine the world without it. It is beyond love. It's an obsession.

Laundry Day

It's a quiet Sunday and after some recovery from the last two nights of Halloween festivities. It's time to do some laundry for the studio - linens. As many of you already know, I use only the most earth-friendly products, whenever possible. That means on all non-critical surfaces and when it comes to the linens, I use Seventh Generation laundry detergent. I really like the Blue Eucalyptus & Lavender scent. It smells really clean and natural. I also add 1 to 3 scoops of oxygen powder , depending on how soiled the load is, instead of bleach, set the dial to "soak" and leave it for a minimum of 30 minutes so the whole wash has a chance to get really, really clean - and it does! Super fresh and ultra white.

Only the very best choices make you feel great. I truly believe that it is the care we take, the careful choices with even the smallest of details, that sometimes make the biggest impact in life. That is definitely why I wash the 100% organic cotton linens for Citizen Skin (and also my personal laundry) in products that I feel are not only good for me but good for all of us. Maybe that's also why when I am doing the laundry, I feel it's a love letter to my clients and mother Earth.
