Launch of Mary Kay Botanical Effects™ Skin Care

Last month, I attended the launch event of Mary Kay Botanical Effects™ Skin Care. This new skin care line harnesses the power of Mother Nature. The products perfectly complement one another to help bring out the skin's healthy radiance and leaving it feeling balanced.

Make your skin smile with Mary Kay Botanical Effects™ Skin Care ☺

All the 3 formulas contain a special botanical complex with 2 effective botanical ingredients:

• Silymarin (milk thistle), is a powerful antioxidant that has been used for 2,000 years as a herbal remedy. It is known to help defend against environmental damage, while helping to calm the skin.
• Luo Han Guo (longevity fruit), a cousin of the cucumber and member of the gourd family, has been used for centuries by the Chinese. It is known to contain potent antioxidants, and also believed to help promote healthy skin.

My skin is happy ☺

My skin type is normal (more of combination).

Which formula is right for you?

DRY SKIN [FORMULA 1]

Flax Seed Extract - Flax seed is an annual plant with slender stems and one of the richest plant sources of omega-3 fatty acids, which are known to moisturize and help relieve dry skin.

Sea Kelp Extract - Sea kelp is coarse edible seaweed that grows underwater in shallow oceans. It is a known source of vitamins, minerals and fatty acids important for moisturizing and skin balance.

NORMAL SKIN [FORMULA 2]

Frangipani Flower Extract - Frangipani flower (Plumeria), is the national flower of Nicaragua. This fragrant flower is an antioxidant known for its calming benefits. It also helps protect against environmental stressors.

Water Lily Extract - Water lily is a flowering aquatic plant that gives off a sweet and pleasant aroma. This antioxidant is reported to be a source of minerals that are important for healthy skin.

OILY SKIN [FORMULA 3]

Kanuka Extract - Kanuka (White Tea Tree), is an antioxidant well known for purifying benefits that may help prevent clogged pores. The leaves of this flowering shrub emit a rich, pleasant scent when crushed.

Guava Extract - Guava is a known source of salicylic acid, an exfoliant shown to slough away dead skin and help unclog pores to reduce surface oil.

I was provided a set of Mary Kay Botanical Effects™ Skin Care [Formula 2] - for normal skin, and also makeup goodies (to be featured in a separate post).
