The hot summer winds and sun rays have reeked havoc on Okie's skin over the past few months. Take 20 minutes to refresh and renew your skin with this luxurious Darphin at-home facial.

This rejuvenating treatment delivers a healthy dose of Vitamin C and helps skin regain vitality and adjust to seasonal changes with rediscovered energy and radiance.

Step 1: Remove eye, face and make-up with Darphin Cleaning Milky Emulsion. Massage into your skin to cleanse the pores. Remove with moist cotton balls.

Step 2: Apply Darphin's Intral Toner to your face, neck, and decollete with 2 cotton balls. The toner will soften and soothe your skin, while reducing inflammation. Blot dry your skin with a soft tissue.

Step 3: Using Darphin Age-Defying Dermabrasion, apply to damp skin and massage with circular movements. Remove with water. This deeply exfoliates the skin and helps remove wrinkles.

Step 4: Apply 1 tablespoon of Darphin Hydrating Kiwi Mask to your face, neck, and decollete. This will smooth and nourish your skin and reduce feelings of tightness. Take this time to relax by resting your eyes for 10 minutes.

Step 5: Remove the mask with moist cotton balls.

Step 6: Apply a small amount of Darphin Dark Circles Relief and De-Puffing Eye Serum around the eye contours. Rose and Chamomile extracts will help with dehydration and energize these delicate areas.

Step 7: Apply a small amount of Arovita C Line Response Firming Serum using gentle piano playing movements, from the base of your neck to the hairline. The serum is a combination of carrot protein, vitamin C, caffeine, and Oligopeptides, which energizes and repairs sun damaged skin.

Step 8: Apply a small amount of Darphin Arovita C Energic Firming Cream to your face, neck, and decollete with firm, sculpting, upward motions. Apply a thicker layer on the decollete where the sun damage can by more visible. The cream will boost skin energy and improve elasticity.

We all may have gotten our tax returns back recently, but unfortunately most of that has to go to some sort of colossal bill that has been looming over our heads all year. So how do you get your beauty fix without having to take extra money out of savings? Well over the next few days we're going to discuss beauty on a budget. What are the "must haves" and the "splurge" items. First off we're going to say a little something about facial beauty.

Every woman wears make-up on a daily basis. However not every woman cleanses on a daily basis. While this does not show a major problem in the short run, in the long run the make-up is building up and caking in your pores which can lead to major break outs and quickly aging skin. Here at Cottonwood we have several different cleansers for every type of skin! This is definitely a "must have." Come check it out!!
