new age suncare

introducing revolutionary plant uv 

The brilliant folks at Coola have been tucked away in the lab creating the newest formulation in sunscreen yet. Coola has harnessed the power of mother nature with their patented Plant Protection Technology. 

This innovative product contains plant stem cells, which help protect against broad spectrum UV rays; and Zinc Oxide, which is widely considered the most inert and safest sunscreen active.  

The inside scoop. With the naturally protective plant cells of the Buddleja Davidii stems and the Lilac Leaf, which have been shown to have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, this formula is preservative-free and made with 70% organic inactive ingredients. You'll find Beet Root and Cordyceps Mushroom Extracts that help protect the skin and defend against premature aging, while organic Cucumber Extract helps soothe skin in or after the sun. 

Also infused with organic emollients like Shea Butter, Coconut Oil, antioxidant-rich Olive Oil and  Omagea-3 enriched Linseed Oil to moisturize, smooth and soften skin. And Orazanol and organic Beeswax to boost natural sun protection. 

These face and body formulas are the perfect way to stay green with your sunscreen!

Natural. Plant. Protection.

Preserve Cleansing Pads, from Preserve Skincare, are your answer to quick, clean skin. Unlike traditional makeup wipes, Preserve Cleansing Pads are thick, hardy, absorbent cotton rounds infused with herbal extracts, essential oils and potent antioxidants. Impressively created by two skin-savvy estheticians in California, Preserve Cleansing Pads are the ultimate low-maintenance, high-perfomance product for cleaning skin cleverly.

Cleansing is such an important part of your skincare routine, and skimping here will leave your skin dull, lifeless and DIRTY; gross, right? Now you can effectively cleanse your face of the day's muck, gook and makeup no matter where you are. Choose from Orange Blossom (perfect for all skin types), Geranium Leaf (normal/combination/oily skin types) or opt for the travel set to experiment with both (travel set: 30 pads, $32).

Chock-full of hydrating aloe; skin-purifying grapefruit, pomegranate and witch hazel; and super-effective extracts and antioxidants from white tea, yucca and lavender–the Orange Blossom Cleansing Pads are a cinch to use and result in clean, happy skin (45 pads, $38).

Enjoy the blemish-busting trio of tea tree, willow bark and witch hazel in the Geranium Leaf Cleansing Pads. This must-have combo is also loaded with the skin-healing and clarifying properties of olive leaf, yarrow, rosemary, grapeseed, geranium and hemlock. Dirty skin doesn't stand a chance (45 pads, $38)!

Don't go another night with the day's dirt and makeup on your pretty skin. Swipe. Sleep. Rejuvenate. Available at sarimotley studio. 

NEW Year; NEW Skincare!

I know I said this last January, but I am going to say it again (and will probably do the same in 2012)... Take inventory of your skincare! What's working great for you? You know, making a difference in the way you feel about your skin? Is your skin luminous and supple?

The beginning of a New Year is a great time for resolution and change, and the perfect opportunity to review and renew how you care for your skin. Also, January and February are our coldest months (in Houston), so it's important to Winterize your skin too. This "quick list" below will help get on the right track, so here you go:

• Take extra steps to lock in moisture with glow-getter hyaluronic acid serum with antioxidants
• Use a gentle cleanser with soothing ingredients like cucumber
• Exfoliate every few days to keep your skin looking and feeling fresh
• Also, treat yourself weekly to a super-infusion of moisture and antioxidants to keep skin happy and healthy

For more information about these and other products, send an email to sari@sarimotley.com or visit our contact page.

Happy skin awaits!
