Colosé Skin Care from Switzerland just introduced a new lotion and a new face cream. Body lotion with Q10 increases the skin's elasticity, smoothes and improves the skin structure and provides long-lasting moisture. It improves skin firmness, while promoting freshness, comfort and radiance. The face cream, Colosé Cream Complete, is a soft oil in water emulsion that enhances the delivery of its active ingredients, a Vitamin Complex high in Vitamin E and Jojoba Oil which protects the skin from dryness. This is a very efficient cream for all skin suffering severe dryness due to a lack of moisture. The cream is based on natural and mild ingredients with a skin friendly pH value.

Color wise, the hot trends this spring are subdued neutrals, playful pastels and shades that light you up. Bren's new spring eye shadow and lip color collections will put you smack in the middle of the action with an array to live for. Be sure to check out our new eye shadows, blush, lip conditioner and more!

* Kinetin's anti-aging effects were first discovered by scientists who revealed that Kinetin protects leaves from drying and premature aging. Further studies showed it delays the destruction of skin cells that produce elastin and collagen.

Kinetin (N6-furfuryladenine) is a naturally-occurring compound found throughout nature: in plants, in animals, and in fact, in your own body's DNA. Kinetin is a proven anti-oxidant protecting your skin from environmentally-induced free radicals produced by exposure to the sun, smoking and pollution. Kinetin is not an acid and will not increase your risk of sun damage. Kinetin improves the skin barrier function, increasing its ability to retain much needed moisture.

Kinetin works to restore the natural moisture barrier function of the skin to preserve and soften skin without side effects and provides protection for your skin from free radical damage. And, Kinetin has anti-inflammatory properties, making it ideally suited for even highly sensitive skin.

* Studies Show Matrixyl Dramatically Improves Wrinkles Results of a four month French study presented at the 2002 World Congress of Dermatology, revealed an amino-peptide complex known as Matrixyl® produced dramatic changes in the appearance of aging facial skin.

It was demonstrated that a topical application of non-prescription Matrixyl cream improved wrinkle appearance more quickly than retinol without causing irritation and redness. These benefits were confirmed in a separate study that also showed positive changes in elastin and collagen.

Another 12-week study conducted by Procter & Gamble also showed that non-prescription Matrixyl offers significant benefits for reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, age spots, and skin firmness.
