Tracee Ellis Ross: 'Beauty is shifting'
Actress Tracee Ellis Ross is proud to support women challenging what is beauty in 2016.
The 43-year-old black-ish star became the face of the new Nourish Your Next campaign for Kelloggs' cereal Special K earlier this month (Mar16).
According to the company's press release, the project is centred around nourishing and celebrating women's inner beauty, and when Tracee hears the campaign's slogan, 'Strong is the New Pretty', she is filled with delight over the message it delivers to the public.
"I think it means a lot of things," she tells POPSUGAR of her view on the slogan. "In essence, what I love is that it continues to expand the definition of what we consider to be beautiful. Our culture of beauty has a limited idea at times and this campaign just keeps reminding us all that women are beautiful for so many reasons. Many of which don't have anything to do with our physicality, in terms of our aesthetics. I love the message!"
Before becoming an actress Tracee worked in the fashion industry as an editorial contributor and a model.
Over the years the biracial daughter of black singer Diana Ross and white-Jewish music manager Robert Ellis Silberstein has seen a transformation as far as how women are depicted in the media and she hopes the trend of valuing the beauty of women from all ethnicities continues in the future.
"We are no longer in the time where there is only one and can be only one," she notes. "There are women of all kinds, all shapes, all sizes doing themselves, being themselves, in such beautiful, out-loud ways. And it's stunning. And I love it."
However, Tracee thinks there is still much more work to be done when it comes to celebrating diversity in the media.
"I wish we lived in a world where there were enough images of women in every area so we didn't feel the need to judge ones that were differently than the way we thought they should be," she states. "I think women are full creatures and the liberation and freedom of women is something that we're all fighting for, and it means something differently to everybody."Read more at:bridesmaid gowns

Review: It's all about the Girl in Dior
Annie Goetzinger's graphic novel, Girl in Dior, is a gorgeous look at a decade in the career of French fashion designer Christian Dior. Originally published in French, the novel was translated into English last year. It begins with Dior's celebrated debut fashion show on February 12, 1947 and follows fictional journalist Clara Nohunt on her first assignment for Jardin des Modes magazine. Through chance, Clara is welcomed into Dior's inner circle and the world of high fashion, and the lives of the two remain connected until Dior's sudden death in 1957.
Goetzinger lovingly captures the art of dressmaking. From Dior's initial sketches, to the team of pattern-makers, seamstresses and tailors, prototype fittings, decisions on materials and finally the unveiling of the evening dresses, there is a sense of reverence in her illustrations. In her acknowledgements, Goetzinger notes that Christian Dior Couture provided her with access to Dior's private townhouse and archive materials to aid in the authenticity of the story. It shows.
A striking aspect of Girl in Dior is the juxtaposition of the opulence of high fashion to the post-Second World War era. A photo shoot staged in a working class neighbourhood in New York features models in luxurious overcoats. It quickly becomes the setting of a scuffle between the models and some local apple vendors. In a similar theme, the illustrations are generally muted as the author saves her use of vibrant colour for the garments.
Those with an interest in the fashion of the 1940's and 1950's will appreciate the Girl in Dior for its detailed representation of that time period. This is a good choice for first time readers of graphic novels.
Girl in Dior is available in the Adult Graphic Novel collection of the Prince George Public Library.Read more at:www.queenieau.com/formal-dresses-brisbane-trends

What to wear to Charleston Fashion Week
Fashion week starts today and I'm getting all kinds of nervous just thinking about it, because, honestly, I have no idea what to wear. Common sense tells me to keep it simple and wear something ironed and not too stained. Sound good, fashionistas?
I've rounded up some tips from local bloggers as well as one of this year's sponsors, Belk. Charleston is nothing if not a city full of fashion bloggers and I've found some I think are particularly useful — head to these sites/Facebooks/Instagrams for tips on how to look your best at CFW.
*If you're a CHS blogger with some fashion tips, please let me know and I'll add you to the list below, just email me at connelly@charlestoncitypaper.com.
Charleston Shop Curator. Andrea Serrano worked as a fashion stylist in New York before moving to Charleston and running two different stores, B'zar and Suite Sole. She was recently on Lowcountry Live with some CFW advice. She's also one of the judges for the Emerging Designer competition, so she knows what she's talking about.
Annie Reeves. At 23, Reeves is the youngest blogger I found, but that doesn't mean her look isn't timeless. A fan of neutrals and pops of color, I'd steal something out of this gal's closet any day.
Holy City Chic. Megan Stokes has a clean and classy blog, but it's her quick links to items you can buy, a la liketoknow.it (a way to shop via Instagram) that makes it even easier to snag her style. Oh, and she's pregnant and rockin' the cutest maternity clothes I've ever seen.
Hanging with the Hewitts. While Caycee Hewitt's style doesn't exactly line up with mine (you will never catch me in a Lily Pulitzer anything, with God as my witness), her preppy style is perfectly suited for the Lowcountry, especially since Lilly P. will be walking the runway on Thursday.
The Manual. Guys can dress well, too. I think most dress better than I do. Cator Sparks and I somehow became Facebook friends a few months back, and now I'm on his "Essential Guide for Men" website all the time.
Belk's new VP of fashion and trend, Cynthia Washburn-Nester also has some tips for what to wear to fashion week. She knows what's "trend right" as they say. Here's what she had to say:
1) Get nautical, wear stripes.
2) Go long over lean.
3) White clothes always look good.
4) Lace it up (with lace-up shoes).
5) Get in the swing — '70s remix of fashion includes fringe, denim, suede, and platforms.
To get an idea of this throwback look, head to Marion Square on Wednesday, where Lake City's Mosaic will be featuring bright, '70s-style clothes at their runway show.
And if none of those tips sound good to you, then we recommend trying out our favorite accessory: man's best friend.Read more at:formal wear melbourne | evening dresses adelaide

A surprise wedding fulfills dying grandmother's wish
Betty Kline sat in a plush recliner just to the left of the makeshift aisle that cut through the Pederson family’s front room.
Wearing a pink dress and purple slippers emblazoned with smiling hippos, Kline was steps away from the hospital bed and racks of pills that have become her lifelines since most of her internal organs failed about a month ago.
But in the front row at her granddaughter’s wedding, wearing a corsage that matched the bride’s bouquet, the strife of these last weeks seemed worlds away.
“Are you ready to watch Megan and John get married?” asked Kline’s daughter and mother-of-the-bride, Cyndi Pederson.
With an abundance of excitement and just a dash of trademark sass, 85-year-old Kline responded: “Well, yes, I’ve waited years for this.”
To see her grandchildren get married and know they’ve started their own families has been Kline’s dying wish, her relatives said. Until March 5, Megan, 26, was the only Pederson child left to tie the knot.
The Des Moines Register reported that she officially plans to wed her high school sweetheart in September. But with the sharp decline in Kline’s health, the family was worried that September was too far away.
Megan Pederson couldn’t imagine the woman who’d been like her second mother not being there to see her get married, so in less than a week the family threw together a pop-up wedding, leaning on the community to help make the day special for Grandma Betty—“Gram” to her granddaughters.
“Even though this is a theatrical production, it’s real to Gram, and that’s the whole point of today,” said Megan Pederson, an aspiring actress living in New York City. “We want to celebrate her while she is still with us.”
She paused as she held tears back from her just-finished makeup: “I’m trying real hard not to think about September today, because I can’t help but think about Gram not being there.”
In the hive of wedding activity, Grandma Betty was at the center; attendees were drawn to her like bees to a queen. The bride stopped for a kiss on the way to the altar, the officiant spoke directly to her as “the family’s honored guest” and she dished out playful guff and abiding love in equal measure.
“She is on borrowed time, and now she gets to see and experience the one thing that she always wanted,” Cyndi Pederson said.
ALL ABOUT FAMILY
Family has always meant something extra to Kline, granddaughter Libby Crimmings said, because when she was about 6 both of her parents died and she and her five brothers and sisters were split up and adopted by separate families. Her name was changed, she lost all the people she knew best and from that moment on keeping her family whole became her life’s mission.
Every minute Kline wasn’t working as a real estate agent, she was with her family, Cyndi Pederson said. She would take her granddaughters to movies, dinners and on shopping sprees, and babysat them every Friday night.
Around the Pederson’s provisional alter Saturday were small tokens of good wishes from family and friends: A hand-painted sign made by one of Crimmings’ co-workers marked the occasion, 100 origami butterflies from a different friend dotted the reception area and the cake topper was the same one that graced Grandma Betty’s wedding confection.
‘SURPRISE QUEEN’ IS ON IT
After Megan Pederson decided on the pop-up wedding just days before, Crimmings, a self-described “surprise queen,” called on her friends to help in whatever way they could. East Village boutique Dornink loaned Megan a wedding dress, a hairstylist friend fit her in for an updo during lunch and local actor Scott Siepker and musician Patrick Tape Fleming donated their time and talents.
“I get asked to play a lot of weddings, and I usually don’t like them,” Fleming said, “but as soon as I heard the backstory to this one, I was like, ‘I have to do this. I have to do this.’”
A hyper-creative bunch—Crimmings is an artist and Cyndi Pederson is chief operating officer of the Des Moines Social Club—no one in the room seemed surprised the family was able to pull this event off.
But the fact that so many people stepped forward when Megan Pederson asked for helped isn’t lost on the bride. It takes a special place with special people to be able to do this, Megan Pederson said.
Minutes before the impromptu ceremony was scheduled to start, Megan Pederson wrung her hands in the kitchen. All around her, the house was abuzz.
“My legs are like jelly,” she said to no one and everyone at once. “I am so nervous.”
“Why?” Crimmings asked. “It’s just us.”
“You’re family, you are the loves of my lives,” she said. “How could I not be nervous?”
When Gram got really sick, it was an easy decision for Megan Pederson to go through with the improvised wedding, she said. But the couple is still holding back some surprises for the official wedding in September, including signing all the official paperwork.
Groom John Teter, who flew in at midnight to be at the ceremony, said this service only adds to the uniqueness of their love story.
Even though the words “dress rehearsal” and “practice” were thrown around throughout the evening—always out of Gram’s earshot, of course—the emotions of going through the ceremony’s motions were 100 percent real, attendees said. Boxes of tissues near the amalgam of chairs and pillows doubling for pews were well used.
“Standing in my childhood living room and seeing everyone, friends and family and Gram, it was surreal,” Megan Pederson said. “It was intimate and beautiful and a moment my family and I will share forever.”
And as they pronounced the young couple Mr. and Mrs. Teterson (a combination of their last names “Teter” and “Pederson”), all eyes turned to the plush chair where Gram’s grin spread into a wide smile and she led the room is a rendition of her favorite song: “You Are my Sunshine.”
As the crowd reached the final line—“Now please don’t take my sunshine away”—clear singing tones were replaced with the sound of catching voices and rolling sobs and Cyndi Pederson excused herself to the kitchen.
“You know, maybe Mom will be there in September, but in case she isn’t, she will always have this,” Cyndi said. “She will go knowing that her grandchildren got married and started down their own paths.
“She can go knowing her life’s work is complete.”See more at:QueenieAu

DIY fashion fixes for wedding
Mend those common style snags at a wedding, with regular office supplies and pantry ingredients.
When you're busy revelling in wedding festivities, you're bound to have a wardrobe mishap -a rip in your blouse a drink stain on your favourite short bridesmaid dresses. Most often, you won't have the luxury to rummage through your cupboard and find another replacement.Here's how you can salvage any fashion fails with some easy tips.
SHOES BITES FROM NEW FOOTWEAR
You will be wearing your brand new pair of fancy stilettos for the wedding ceremonies, where you may be required to dance and party the night away . But you are worried that breaking into them might cause you painful blisters and cuts. Simply reach out to your deodorant stick for help. Rub the stick on those areas of your feet, like ankles, toes, etc., where you are likely to develop sores. The deo will act like a lubricant between the foot and the shoe.
WRINKLED CLOTHING
If you've wrinkled one of your wedding outfits, and don't have access to an ironing board, borrow a flat hair iron and use it as a substitute. If you're wearing a shirt, to perk up its collar, stiffen the fabric with a spritz of hair spray.
FIX THE HEMLINE
While many people use a stapler to fix undone hemlines, this can tear the cloth and damage the outfit.Instead, use a fashion tape or a regular duct tape to hold the hem from the inner side of the purple bridesmaid dresses.
LOOSE BUTTONS
If your shirt or trouser button is on the verge of popping out and you don't have a sewing kit at hand, dab a little clear varnish on the unstable button.This will act like a glue and prevent it from falling off.
BRA STRAP SNAPS
The strap of your bra snaps while you're dancing and if you don't have a safety pin, try using a paper clip or a key ring to secure the straps together.
PET HAIR ON CLOTHES
You've petted your dogcat before stepping out, but notice much later that your furry friend's hair are all over your outfit. Reach for a sticky surface like a scotch or masking tape to use it to remove the strands from the fabric. You can even use the adhesive on a large envelope for rectifying this snag.
BROKEN SHOE HEEL
Don't have time to run to a cobbler to mend a broken heel? An urgent fix is to use super glue to stick it together. Align the heel in its original position, dab some glue and apply pressure on it for a few minutes. If you don't have glue, a couple of used chewing gums will also do the trick! These hacks will temporary fix the heel and get you through the function.

Digital, Social Media Forcing Fashion Week Changes
It’s hardly news that thanks to the influence of digital, Fashion Week has been tottering on its high heels for ages. Bloggers and social media have been challenging the traditional fashion calendar.
Cheap-chic chains like H&M and Zara, able to rush trends from runway to retail before the designers who invented them, have also blunted its impact. And innovators like Tommy Hilfiger, Burberry, Rebecca Minkoff and Tom Ford are already tinkering with ways to inject a direct-to-consumer “shoppability” component into what began as a trade show.
But a new study from the Council of Fashion Designers of America, conducted with the Boston Consulting Group, shows that fashion brands are eager for bigger changes in the way they do business, says Steven Kolb, CFDA’s president and CEO.
“Fashion is an industry that is about newness,” he tells Marketing Daily. “The digital influence has created more knowledge, more information, and more imagery. And while social media has been great for expanding the eyeballs and the audience, it has also created this fatigue. Consumers often get over a look before they’ve even had a chance to buy it.”
And while fashion has been a leader in adapting to social media, “no one has quite figured out how to harness it in a way that brings true value back to the brand,” he says.
First, a Fashion Week refresher: New York Fashion Week comes first, opening a season of global Fashion Weeks. Originally, only buyers and fashion editors attended, and runway looks appeared in stores and fashion spreads up to six months later.
Soon socialites began attending, and then celebrities, heightening news coverage. Now, influencers attend and spread the word about what they saw immediately and some designers even webcast shows, creating a clamor for new looks. But that pulls deliveries forward, the study notes, “resulting in more misalignment with the actual, physical season, triggering early markdowns and reduced full-price selling, and furthering consumer confusion.”
The study, based on in-depth interviews with designers, fashion execs, wholesalers and online retailers, found four pressing issues:
*Brands are eager to find ways to boost “in-season relevancy.”
*The perception of earlier deliveries and subsequent markdowns is hurting the full-price sale of apparel.
*A declining perception of what’s new is problematic. Trends seem stale by the time they reach the rack, causing fashion fatigue, which ultimately hurts full-price sales.
*Designers are burning out. Because the resulting fashion cycle has become more complex, including pre-collections, there is “less time for the creative process and artisanship and puts immense pressure on critical design and creative talent,” it says.
How each designer intends to approach these problems varies. For example, the study says luxury brands are leaning toward runway shows that include capsule collections, which would be for immediate sale. Others are considering merging men’s and women’s shows. And many are considering ways to tighten delivery schedules, so that clothes arrive in stores when consumers want to buy them (and are more likely to pay full price.)
He says the study is intended to be a starting place for bigger changes, and that it pulled together many side conversations throughout the industry.
“We knew going in that there wasn’t going to be a magic pill that everybody could take, and that there would be a variety of ideas,” he says. But new business models are coming. “The world around Fashion Week changed very quickly. And Fashion Week didn’t.”See more at:evening dresses adelaide

A Sentimental Education from Comme des Garçons
On Saturday, in the bowels of Le Centorial, the 19th-century building that is the headquarters of the bank formerly known as Crédit Lyonnais, two floors below the soaring central hall, so far underground that cellphones go dark, Rei Kawakubo of Comme des Garçons held a history lesson.
“Have you ever wondered what an 18th-century punk would look like?” Ms. Kawakubo’s husband, Adrian Joffe, asked before the show. Mr. Joffe also happens to be president of Comme des Garçons International and the conduit of his wife’s oracular explanations. “You’re about to find out.”
It began with rose festooned damask and pastoral jacquards, shaped into garlands that wreathed the body, and boned corsetry and panniers reimagined as armadillo-like scales, sliced into articulated armor on the arms and legs. Leather breastplates brushed with pastel blooms became a bristling carapace (and so did petal pink vinyl), and nylon saddle bags in fuchsia and fire opal melted into giant hexagonal mouths, like a carnivorous lily. If Marie Antoinette had wanted to play samurai warrior at her Versailles faux farm instead of milkmaid, this would have been what she would wear.
A time when, in other words, the 99 percent rose up against the 1 percent and machines changed the world economy. Recognize the pattern? Those who don’t learn from history, etc.
Paris was full of teachable moments over the weekend. Sometimes they were as simple as Haider Ackermann’s continued refinement of his own point of view, this time with a silhouette sharp and thin as a straight razor — cropped legging-like trousers, striped like a tuxedo pant or two-tone, front and back — plus a square-shouldered military coat, sweeping or cropped no matter, doused in jewel-tones of ruby, emerald and gold. Or Guillaume Henry’s ability to learn from his own mistakes at Nina Ricci, and abandon transparent styling tricks for smudgy seduction in a “sporty bourgeois,” Romy Schneider-inspired show of lace and crushed-velvet slipdresses, key-hole slinks, and pencil skirts and organza tops under eelskin trench coats. (It was more worthy of study, anyway, than Fausto Puglisi’s leopard-meets-chrysanthemum empty femininity at Emanuel Ungaro.)
Céline on the importance of curiosity and “finding the possibilities” — in wardrobes, fabrics, “life in general” (her words, backstage after the show). Which in this case meant flared jersey trousers that swished with a step under almost everything: oversize shirts with pointy piped collars and sleeveless trench coats; skinny nylon tunics stretched long and silver screen satins knotted on a hip; and balloon bouclés. You never know what rules deserve to be broken, and what goes with what, until you try. In the awkwardness and angst of odd pairings, new ideas arise.
Junya Watanabe’s dazzling three-dimensional exploration of Euclidean geometry and the functional application of sacred mathematics to everyday form. Who needs a ruffle when they can have a polyhedron?
On a simple black leotard base, under black bathing caps, he used what looked like squishy neoprene but turned out to be an industrial fabric made from polyurethane bonded to nylon (who knew?) that was cut and folded and otherwise formed it into honeycombed tunics and skirts hipped in hexagonal origami; tops that resembled Escher staircases and dresses that undulated in waves over the torso. The effect was of a problem, elegantly solved.
Coincidentally, Yohji Yamamoto also had math on the mind, titling his show “Subtraction,” and stripping away extraneous color and decoration, the better to create his own equation: long, precisely cut coats and dresses with spiky lapels, sailor collars and the occasional splash of graffiti for emphasis.
But it was Jun Takahashi at Undercover who added poetry to the syllabus. (Sorry: schedule.) To the tune of Lou Reed’s “Perfect Day,” he celebrated comfort dressing (fuzzy bedroom slippers and bathrobe coats, silk pajama sets and warm tweeds) as well as women in all their forms, from youth to retirement age, portraits to priestesses. Though whether the implication was that said women deserve comfort or provide it was unclear. The answer is probably both. (It should be.)
They came with their own pillow handbags, sporting giant stuffed bugs as brooches, and crowned by golden antlers. They came in a gold breastplate (this is, bizarrely, something of a thing this season) over a billowing evening gown or the most homespun of knits, the sort a clan grandmother might make, or enveloped in a faux fur sweatsuit, giant striped scarves trailing behind like a train. And in every incarnation, they looked like royalty — of the most democratic kind.Dream on and study up.See more at:school formal dresses

Self-heating coat, one giant step for fashion-kind
On the day an astronaut returned to Earth after 340 days in space, Paris fashion took another small step for mankind.
Behold, the self-heating overcoat.
The French label Courreges announced the dawn of the "new era" Wednesday, "an era when the garment will come alive".
"Who has never dreamt of being warm in the winter?" its designers Sebastien Meyer and Arnaud Vaillant declared.
"This transition is possible if technology responds to our primary needs – well being and comfort."
Three of its chic full length autumn-winter wool coats have been fitted with a slimline heating system, much like the ones which warm up cars seats on winter mornings.
"By simply applying pressure" on a button, "you give the coat life", they said.
The brand, one of the pioneers of futuristic 1960s style under its visionary founder Andre Courreges, vowed that this was only the beginning of its voyage into hi-tech clothing.
Co-president Frederic Torloting said as yet the move was "symbolic" but they had ambitions to go much further.
"Technology has been a very tricky subject for fashion. It is often seen as antithetical, that hi-tech and isn't glamorous," he said. "But that's wrong. It can be made glamorous!"
The black, pink and black and white chequerboard coats are certainly a step up in style from the self-heating coats and gloves already on the market, which tend to be aimed at the outdoor and adventure market.
Haute couture has been slow to embrace such gadgetry, but with clothing connectivity a major focus of research for tech companies, Courreges is convinced it is the future.
"This is only our first step – we are going to do lot of other thing in this area," Torloting said.
The label also broke new ground by announcing that it was breaking ranks with the Paris fashion establishment and offering a part of its autumn-winter collection straight for sale on its website.
Twenty pieces were to go online Wednesday evening with the label following US designer Rebecca Minkoff, who offered 70% of her collection for immediate sale after her show in New York last month.
Another Paris label, Paco Rabanne, is reportedly ready to follow suit.
The row over a move to "buy now, see now" has pitted New York which wants shows staged "in season" so the public can buy the clothes on the catwalk straight away, with Paris and Milan which prefers the present system of "delayed gratification".
With catwalk shows staged four to six month before the clothes go on sale, young designers are freer to take risks and test the water to see which pieces go down best, they argue.
But Torloting, a former advertising executive, said the system "frustrated" the public and vowed to have an "even bigger part of the next collection in the shops the day after the show.
"Frankly, there are not really any seasons anymore. Collections are a mix of pieces... because there is not the same weather everywhere," he added.
The other highlight of the day was Dries Van Noten's wonderfully sensuous take on Edwardian aristocratic decadence, with pearl-encrusted fur jackets and silky leopard print trousers and suits you almost imagine the cross-dressing writer Rita Sackville West in as she returned at dawn from a party.
The Belgium designer said he was inspired by the passion between the Italian heiress Luisa Casati, who famously said, "I want to be a living work of art", and the writer Gabriele d'Annunzio.
Anne Sofie Madsen meanwhile attempted the ambitious feat of trying to conjure up the spirit of Elvis Presley's stillborn twin brother, Jesse Garon, in her show "Heaven or Las Vegas".

Beauty problems solved: Dullness
How to tackle a grey complexion.
It doesn't matter how much make-up you use, dull skin is never going to look fresh and plump. That tell-tale grey tinge can be caused by a number of things; tiredness, bad diet, not enough sun or pollution. Unfortunately shovelling a truck-load of make-up over the top isn't going to help matters, most of the time it'll actually make the problem worse. So what to do?
Before we get on to products, think about changes you can make to your lifestyle. While moving to the countryside might not be a viable decision if your job is city based, cutting down on stress can be. It has a huge impact on the skin, making you look tired and your face dull. Speaking to someone at work about what's causing your problems could help, as will tackling the issue when you're away from the office. A diet rich in antioxidants will help your skin and regular exercise boosts blood flow too, plus it'll make you feel stronger and more in charge so you'll be able to handle stress better.
Sometimes your skin will need a helping hand though, which is when you need to select some supercharged products.
Brand new from Oskia is the Renaissance 360 Anti-Ageing & Brightening Supreme Cream, which was created especially for tired skin lacking in brightness and luminosity. It also helps with elasticity and fine lines, particularly when paired with the Renaissance BrightLight Intensive Pigmentation & Dark Spot Serum. This is a targeted product especially for people who suffer from melasma or hyperpigmentation - it's stuffed with active ingredients to help even out skin tone and make things look more illuminated.
Another good option for your arsenal is a chemical exfoliator. AHA acids are good for dry skins and BHAs for oily ones, with both helping get rid of the dead skin cells which can make skin look dull. Regular use will also leave your skin looking smoother, plus as the dead layers have been removed anything you add on top will be able to penetrate better.
Hydrated skin also looks more luminous too, so try a moisturiser which specifically treats dehydration. Garnier's SkinActive Moisture Bomb range was created especially for skin lacking in hydration, so skin is left looking plumper and feeling less tight. It's inspired by Asian skincare and the idea is to help skin hold on to water, which makes it look more radiant, without giving it a greasy feel or making it too shiny.
One of the biggest skincare trends for 2016 is going to be products which help with pollution, another thing which causes grey skin. This is why people in cities often have a duller complexion than those who are by the sea - free radicals in pollution attack skin. Kiehl's new Cilantro and Orange Extract Pollutant Defending Masque works overnight to improve the skin's barrier, and so protect from free radicals. It helps block, protect and strengthen the skin, making it look fresher and plumper with repeated use.
