At Home Spa Products

I am back after trying a number of Arcona products, ready for my review. In April Arcona was introduced to Nordstrom as one of the newest additions to the luxury department store. I am happy to say that this all-natural skincare line did not disappoint. In fact I am thrilled to report that each one of these fabulous products are more effective than the next. It is worth a mention to say that because these products are natural the subtle fragrance is intoxicating. I believe that one of the most important differentiators when deciding on a new skincare line, besides the effect on your individual skin is the texture. I always recommend trying a product first on your hand. If you are not sold on the feel then you will not bother applying it on your face. Each product delivers on exactly what it claims. The Cranberry Gommage is an exfoliate that rids clogged pores, delicately buffs fine lines and sloughs the dead skin cells, leaving face dramatically improved and visibly different; more on the specific products below. Please hold on buying any ol’ skin care products. Make your way to Nordstrom or visit the Arcona site to purchase these amazing products. There is something for every skin type and concern. Make sure to ask for the catalog if purchasing in the store, which will help in deciding which products to buy for your skin type and concern.  As I am writing I am more tempted to make a trip to the studio for a spa day!

Cranberry Gommage: Cranberry and freshly picked berry scent, bright and clean. The texture is similar to fluoride at dentist office. It is slightly on the dry side, but not abrasive in the least. This scrub contains fine granules that clean out the pores entirely. Once product is rinsed, there is a  noticeable improvement after just one use! Pores cleaned, fine lines look buffed out. Dry skin is sloughed off. Blemishes come to surface leaving a  dramatic different appearance, clear and smooth.

Mandarin Brightening Peel:  This creamy, citrus smelling peel is refreshing and cooling, especially when applied after the Gommage. This peel rinses thoroughly off face without leaving behind a residue.

Magic White Ice: Non-greasy, lightweight moisturizer. The sweetly floral smelling lotion absorbs directly into skin, leaving you feeling silky smooth.

Triad Pads: These perfectly moistened, quick clean up pads are convenient for a mid day refresher, soaking up excess oil. Face is smooth and smells powder soft. Triad pads also dry lingering blemishes.

Overnight Cellular Repair Complex: Thick and creamy texture with a citrus smell. Evenly coats face and by the morning it is completely soaked into skin.

White Tea Purifying Cleanser: Thick syrup consistency. Leaves face feeling cool and creates a fluffy lather fully cleaning out pores.

Instant Magic Reversal Serum: Peppermint smell soaks into face and décolleté. Skin is left feeling refreshed, and hydrated.

Wine Hydrating Mask: The fragrance is similar to berries and oranges, reminiscent of mulled wine. The consistency is thick and creamy. The mask replenishes, extremely soothing and cooling. Immediately soaks into skin and every wrinkle. In the morning face is silky smooth. This is the perfect mask for intensely dry skin and would be soothing when recovered from sunburn.

Raspberry Resurfacing Peel: The texture is similar to soft pudding. Sloughs off any dry skin leaving brightened face. Deep blemishes lift to the surface for deep cleansing.

Cranberry Toner: Light cleanser with a fresh sweet smell. This toner can be used as a gentle makeup remover as well.

Overall, this entire Arcona line cleans, repairs, rejuvenates, and brightens your entire face, neck and décolleté. I recommend buying a system as opposed to just one product. Commit to only this line for 4-6 weeks. Assess your results.  All products target a different concern and work together seamlessly making a truly effective skincare brand.
