Beauty products that help you get ready to bare it all on Valentine's Day

 The most romantic day of the year is fast approaching.  Are you ready to bare it all?  Perhaps you’ve been dieting like crazy and hitting the treadmills and weight rooms at Crunch, Equinox, Yoga Works or other Los Angeles health club or gym so you look your best for that hot Valentine’s Day date. But while you got your body in shape, your skin still might need a little work.  Perhaps something to cover up or camouflage few flaws is in order.

No worries. Just head over today or this weekend to your nearest Sephora shop (Sherman Oaks, West LA, and Century City), or shop on line, and pick up, or order,  these trio of instant body beautifiers could be just what Cupid ordered.

For immediate help to hide those imperfections (now we’re not suggesting you have any, but just in case), there’s Body SPF 20, a high performance tinted body enhancer that covers cellulite and spider veins and and leaves a healthy glow on your skin.

It’s made from natural active ingredients with antioxidants that zero in on your problem areas. Wait to see how it makes your arms, legs and décolleté look sexier.  It’s available in three shades: Glow, Bronze and Sheer for $34 at any Sephora or on line at www.miracleskintransformer.com,  or www.sephora.com.

For a fresh face look, grab some emerginC blemish control. Especially helpful during that time of the month, or whenever a zit rears its ugly face, the potent spot drying treatment rapidly improves breakouts associated with oily, problematic skin.  Active ingredients zinc oxide, sulfur and camphor work to remove excess oil, while calming irritated skin. Eliminate acne as quickly as one day without over-drying. It cost $28 at www.emerginc.com, as well as leading spas nationwide

Need to conceal some scars, then you must pick up DNAEGF Renewal Scar Therapy developed by Los Angeles and Beverly Hills’ very own Dr. Moy.

This super intensive, but light serum, goes beyond simple silicone gels to minimize the appearance of scars.  It restores skin’s smoothness and tone with the help of ingredients such as Silicone, Sunflower Seed Oil, and Beta Glucan. It also works well on cuts, burns, stitches, and other minor skin lacerations to the face and body. DNAEGF costs $45 at www.dnaegfrenewal.com.

Now sit back, follow instructions and watch your skin transform in a few days. You might want to include a trip to Fredericks of Hollywoodat Hollywood and Highland to pick up some sexy lingerie while you’re at it.
