Have you ever looked at a celebrity like Eva Mendes and asked yourself how she gets her skin to be so absolutely perfect? Well, look no further for the answer! Eva swears by OLEHENRIKSEN products like our blue/black berry enzyme mask to slough off any lingering dry patches in the January 2010 issue of ASOS magazine.

“Exfoliating is one of the best investments you can make for your skin’s future,” says Ole. There are so many benefits! Exfoliating helps oxygenate the skin, helps with blood circulation, skin cell turn-over and contributing to that stunning natural glow!

After using the product last night, I couldn't wait to spotlight the mask today! Not only did it completely eradicate any dry skin on my face, but it really calmed any irritation issues I was having! I stepped into the office thanking my lucky stars and asking myself why I didn’t use the product earlier! Now I can go out tonight feeling confident that my skin is looking the best it has looked in the longest time! What a treat!

The blue/black berry enzyme mask contains papaya enzyme, which gets rid of those dead skin cells, hyaluronic acid which powerfully binds moisture to the skin, and lavender extract which acts as an anti-inflammatory! Let’s not forget the showcase ingredient—blue/blackberry extract! This ingredient helps with oxygenating, smoothing and refining the skin's texture.

You’ll want to apply a generous layer of the mask on freshly cleansed skin, leave it on for 20 minutes, rinse with warm water and have an "ah-ha moment!"

Have you tried our blue/blackberry enzyme mask before? Well, now you can! Our gift to you this month is a free 1oz blue/black berry enzyme mask with the purchase of any two products on our website! Enter the code: HYDRATE at check out. Now, go get your fabulous on!

Did you know that many of our products began in Ole’s kitchen? Now you too can get inspired and treat yourself and your skin to something luxurious!

“Spring-time exfoliation is a key step in unclogging the pores and priming your skin for that summer glow,” said Ole. Another benefit to exfoliating is that it speeds up the skin’s renewal process, also known as the skin cell turn-over rate.

Physical exfoliation is great for all skin types with the exception of skin that is actively breaking out. So, if you’re concerned with wrinkle prevention, wrinkle revenge, or even if you just have this craving for silky-soft skin, then grab a pen and paper and jot down this recipe from Ole!

Here’s what you’ll need to get started:

Complexion Scrub:

Ingredients:

¼ cup of Brown Sugar

1 small Teaspoon of Plain Yogurt

2 Tablespoons of Sesame Oil

Kitchen Utensils:

Mixing Bowl

Measuring spoon/cup

Spatula

Directions:

Mix all of the measured ingredients together into a smooth paste and store in the refrigerator in between uses. This scrub can be used either in the morning or the evening on clean skin. Massage on the face and neck in a circular motion. Rinse with water and follow with your favorite skin tonic and creme. Ole suggests that you exfoliate 3 times per week.

Benefits:

This at-home remedy is great for deep cleansing, pore tightening, exfoliating and retexturizing. Let me break down how this scrub delivers results: Sugar not only has superb exfoliant properties, but it also contains natural Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs) which help to dislodge dead skin cells and refine the skin’s texture. Plain yogurt contains Lactic Acid which aids in cell renewing/whitening and brightening. The final ingredient, sesame oil is both nourishing and soothing, while also allowing the scrub to slip across the face and neck in a gentle and effortless manner.

If you’re someone who is in the middle of an active break-out, but still want the benefits of exfoliating, try our blue/blackberry enzyme mask!

I’m so pleased to announce that the talented Katy Perry, a client at my Hollywood spa, will be the host of the MTV Europe Music Awards for the second year in a row on Thursday, November 5. In honor of her success, I’m going to share with you how you can get skin as luminous as Katy’s!

Like most busy women, Katy likes simple routines. She also knows that less is more when it comes to treating her skin. Keep your skin clean and clear like Katy's with my african red tea foaming cleanser. For your eyes, use my fresh start eye crème for a youthful appearance. For those famous kissable lips, Katy slathers on our african red tea exfoliating lip salvation. “All I have to do is use Ole's african red tea exfoliating lip salvation and I have a fresh pair of lips ready for kissing,” says Katy. To keep your skin looking soft and smooth like Katy's, massage our black currant complexion oil onto your upper body.

Most importantly, a pre-awards show routine would not be complete without my micro/mini peel system, which smoothes out skin and lets your true beauty shine through. Katy is truly beautiful inside and out and is devoted to taking care of her skin. With or without makeup, she is able to look fresh and glowing on and off the stage.

Tune in to watch Katy at 9 pm and post your comments and questions about her skin in the comment section below! To watch the EMA’s online, visit ema.mtv.co.uk.

If you’re feeling inspired by Paris Fall Fashion Week, read on for the secrets runway models use to achieve a flawless complexion and a picture physique.

The Face Three weeks prior to a big event (whether it’s a night out with the girls or your wedding day), apply our award-winning micro/mini peel system once a week. This will improve your skin’s texture to give you a soft and smooth complexion.

The Body Our african red tea exotic body scrub, african red tea firming body mask and african red tea self heating body soufflé are a triple threat to banish dull, lifeless skin and reveal the true beauty of your skin. At least 2 weeks prior to the big day, use these products after your shower a few times each week.

The Strut The runway look is not complete until you have the right walk. The key to exuding confidence on and off the runway is good posture. “The first thing that impresses me about a woman is her beautiful posture, fluid body language and amazing energy,” says Ole. “It is important to maintain the body with a regular fitness routine like yoga or Pilates because when you walk tall, you look great.” Follow these tips and you’ll be runway ready in no time!

Let’s face it — men and women’s skin are not alike. When it comes to skin care, men are typically as low maintenance as it gets. Cleanse, shave, moisturize and you’re out the door. The following tips are designed to enhance your skin without requiring extra hours to your routine.

Shave daily No matter how much you despise it, a daily shave will keep your skin looking smooth and feeling soft all week long.

Exfoliate While you may think your rough skin makes you look as tough as Rambo, you’d be surprised to learn that even Sylvester Stallone uses a complexion scrub. Exfoliate two to three times a week with our walnut complexion scrub to thoroughly purge the pores of stubborn impurities and make your pores appear close to invisible.

Moisturize and protect Invest in a richly textured moisturizer infused with antioxidants and an SPF of 15 daily to help prevent premature age spots and wrinkles. Our herbal day crème SPF 15 is a favorite of male celebrities like Justin Timberlake.

Our three time beauty award winning micro/mini peel system starter kit is a must have product for you skin. Stars such as Naomi Campbell, Sandra Oh and Renee Zellweger have used this product to emulate the benefits of a microdermabrasion treatment. This three-step system begins with almond polish to refine and smooth the skin to perfection. The second step, lemon strip, imitates the effects of an acid peel to renew the skin. The final step, chamomile comfort, soothes the skin. This $45 starter kit is the perfect introduction to this revolutionary treatment and a great gift idea to keep in mind for the upcoming holiday season!
