Apivita

Everyone wants something different out of a facial mask, whether it's for hydration, acne fighting, or increased radiance. But who wouldn't want a little deep cleaning now and then? Mask-lover Marleygyal02 tried out Apivita Deep Cleansing Face Mask ($5), and here's what she had to say about this heavy-duty mask:

Another mask I could use forever. It smells so good, and it makes my skin feel like a new day. I love how clean my skin feels after this mask, but it doesn't strip moisture . . . so my skin doesn't feel tight. It really helps to clarify my pores.

Greek men and women are known for their thick, plentiful and shiny hair. Ingredients such as mint, rosewater, honey and yogurt are some of the most widely found and consumed ingredients in the country. We are lucky enough to now have access to these great Greek hair products in the US. Please let me know what you think and if you have any more Greek products to share with our growing beauty community.

Apivita Propoline Shampoo ($17) is a line of twelve moisturizing shampoos that have remained a cult favorite in Greece for 20+ years. What makes this brand and these shampoos so amazing is that instead of using ordinary water, they use rosemary water as a base.

Rosemary improves circulation, promotes hair growth, stimulates cell renewal to eliminate dandruff, normalize oil secretions. Wow, I had no idea about the powers of rosemary, did you?

Sagging, drooping breasts are common complaints among the aging and those post-childbirth. I'm not sure why people don't expect it, since the laws of gravity tell us that what goes up must come down. Still, I guess losing the perky round shape of your breasts is a sign of saying sayonara to your youth. Hopefully now you can restore some of that depleting collagen in your boobies with these breast-firming treatments!

Apivita Express Bust Firming Mask with Centella ($24) is an invigorating and firming bust cream. (I'm not sure why they call it a mask since it doesn't dry and you don't wash it off.) It comes in individually packed sachets for easy travel use. It's formulated to help elasticity and firmness in your breasts, improve the overall texture of your breasts and leave your sexy skin feeling smooth and supple. After showering, apply a generous layer to your bust in circular motions until it's fully absorbed.

Erno Laszlo R.E.M SPF 30 Intensive Day Therapy for Normal to Extremely Dry Skin ($78) serves as both a moisturizer and as a sunscreen. It has been created for those of you who have a loss of humectants in your skin and are looking for a boost of hydration.

Not only will it protect your skin from both UVA and UVB rays, but it will also tighten skin and help fight fine lines and wrinkles. Fantastic!

Welcome back to the second installment of Lotion Up for Landing, my three-part series on hydrating face creams that will quench your skin after a long flight. (Be sure to check out part I, too.) Not only are these creams luxuriously rich, but they're also less than 3 ounces, so you can toss them in your carry-on luggage without worry.

Hydra-Chrono Hydration Extreme Balm from Lierac ($47) is the perfect rich face balm for flights. It contains a moisturizing complex so divine that skin instantly looks hydrated and more supple. It also contains a technology called Aqua-pump, which acts like a hydraulic pump for your skin to reach the surface and the deep-down layers to help prevent wrinkles. To purchase, you can call 1-877-5-LIERAC or check the where to buy section.

Whoever doubts great things come in small packages has obviously never experienced this APIVITA Propoline Lip Aid Kit. This little trio of chap sticks is actually an extensive lip treatment system created to nourish, soften and protect your smackers.

This is the latest beauty product this amazing Greece-based cosmetics company has brought to the US. The Lip Aids are made from natural ingredients, namely: cocoa butter, beeswax, olive oil, vitamins, herbal extracts and essential oils. Your lips will feel repaired and conditioned in no time. They also contain high protection sunscreen to prevent sun damage. Choose the right Lip Aid to treat the specific problem your lips are experiencing at the moment.

• Lip-Aid Propolis (red tube) is for chapped lips.
• Lip-Aid Chamomile (green tube) is for sensitive lips.
• Lip-Aid Rose (pink tube) is for moisture, with a hint of color.

One Lip Aid usually costs $5.50, yet this package of three costs only $13.50. What a fabulous deal!

Just as our skin feels the effects of our harsh environment, our hair does too. Not only does it face similar issues of dryness, dehydration and lifelessness, but because we tend to use heated tools for styling, our hair risks severe and irreparable damage from over-processing.

Once in a while, it's nice to give your hair a healthy glass of water to recharge and revitalize limp locks. These dynamite deep conditioners will help your dreary and dry hair undergo a dramatic change. Here are a few of my favorite products:

Kerastase Nutritive Masquintense Intense Enriching Treatment is often a professional's hair masque of choice. Jennifer Aniston's hairdresser Chris McMillan uses this on her fine hair frequently to add shine and luster. The rest of us are recommended to do this treatment twice a week.

I think that you'll love it. I've been hooked for months now. The smell is great and the jar lasts for a long time because all you really need is a few fingertips full. Leave it on for five-to-ten minutes and then rinse. Buy it here for $44.99 (This is the best price I've seen yet!)

Propoline Hair Mask For Dry, Colored Hair is a great product for travel since it comes in these nifty individually sealed packages. This conditioner is a pretty intense hair masque formulated to condition and moisturize. It contains natural and effective ingredients such as: olives, sunflowers and panthenol. It is also intended to prevent split ends and should help to restore elasticity and shine. Buy it here for $18.

I pride myself on being a light packer, but I'm also a beauty-products fiend. For that reason, I'm always delighted to find cool new travel-sized toiletries to take on trips. My latest obsession: The new Apivita Weekend Spa Skin Firming Treatment, which includes a great selection of pampering packets all in one cute box.

The travel-friendly kit includes a few must-haves, like a Deep Face Scrub and Cleansing Tissues, and some nice-to-haves, including a Firming Face Mask and a Tired Feet & Legs Mask, which would be amazing on those vacations where you end up walking everywhere. The package, which costs just $20 and is available here, would also make a great gift or even a favor for a girls' weekend away.
