Beautiful skin is either a blessing you're born with or a gift from great products. The quest for flawless skin is sought after by millions, if not billions, of men and women.

popPRETTY brings to this week's product spotlight a much loved skincare line called Ole Henriksen.  

Ole Henriksen Face/Body Spa in Los Angeles, California

The product carries the name of its creator. Ole Henriksen - pronounced "ooh-lah" - has created a name for himself in the  glitz and glamour of Hollywood where he is known as the "Acne Expert". Denizens of Hollywood can easily spot his popular spa on Sunset Boulevard where he provides service to an exclusive clientele. 


Lucky for us, his products are now available beyond the freeways and palm trees of Los Angeles. Sephora and quality spas worldwide stock this amazing skincare line.

Ole Henriksen Apricot Cleansing Lotion $30 for 12 oz.

Ole Henriksen was treated for a bad case of cystic acne (the large and painful kind) in Indonesia where he lived after moving out from humble beginnings in Denmark. His acne was cured by an aesthetician who used natural botanical ingredients. This inspired Mr. Henriksen to pursue a career in skincare. He moved to London to study cosmetic chemistry and opened shop in the United States years later, in the groovy 70s. 


To this day he uses his own kitchen to experiment with natural ingredients to produce quality skincare products.


The company states its products utilize "Nature, Science, Beauty and Wellness" to achieve results to be proud of. The hundreds of positive reviews the Ole Henriksen product line receives from various online beauty shops speak volume about the quality.


Ole Henriksen products range from facial cleansers, makeup removers, dark spot treatment creams, scrubs and more. The skin on your face and the rest of your body are sure to sing a happy tune with this line. You can purchase them from Sephora, various department stores, spas, or online.

Eye Beauty Problems and the Top Products to Deal!

Eye creams to keep those sags away

Beauty problems that plague the eyes are very common, no matter what age we are. Fine lines around the eye area are the first signs of aging and even very young teenage girls battle pesky dark circles under the eyes. Hence, investing on a good eye products and having healthy habits is a must. But first, it’s important to identify your current eye situation – do you have puffy eyes? Dark circles? Wrinkles?
We give you the rundown of the eye creams beauty junkies swears by and why they work.


Problem #1 Wrinkly eye
Wrinkles anywhere in the body have the same antidote – retinol. Look for an eye cream that contains retinol and apply it at night since UV exposure can breakdown your eye cream’s potent ingredient. If you find retinol too strong for your sensitive skin, opt for products that contain peptides. Like retinol, it stimulates collagen production.

Avon Anew Clinical Eye

Try Avon Anew Clinical Eye, a best-selling eye cream that works both above and below the eye to lift the skin and smooth out wrinkles.


Problem #2 Panda Eyes
Get rid of those annoying dark circles with Olay Touch of Concealer. An eye regenerating cream that contains tinted formula that immediately masks dark under eye circles. It contains niacinamide, which helps fade discoloration over time while its skin-tone hue instantly tones down darkness.

Problem #3 Puffy Eyes
You can try putting cold spoon or frozen tea bags around your eye or you can opt for a much simpler solution – use an eye cream with skin tightening caffeine and packaged in a cooling applicator that helps deflate puffy eyes faster. Estée Lauder Idealist Cooling Eye Illuminator uses NASA-inspired technology to keep its ceramic tip permanently chilled.

Sun protection

Calmia Daily Eye Protector from Calmia.com

Skin around the eye is so thin; it’s easily susceptible to sun damage. Hence, use an eye cream that has an added SPF. Calmia Daily Eye Protector uses natural sunscreens to protect your eye from future damage. It also contains white tea and algae to perk up your eyes in an instant.


Damage Control
If wrinkles are already present, Chanel Ultra Correction Lift Eye Cream is heaven-sent if you have the money to splurge. Every cent is worth it as it guarantees to firm up sagging skin sans surgery. It contains Elemi PFA, which restores tensin, a protein naturally found in the skin that anchors cells and controls how they connect.

Budget Friendly eye cream
If you want to get rid of fine lines without burning a whole in your pocket, try the Garnier Ultralift Firming Eye Cream. It contains pure ginger extract, a perfect bargain without sacrificing quality.

And remember, you can spend all your money on the fanciest eye creams around but if you don't take care of your health, the creams won't be able to do much. We're talking common sense. Get 8 to 9 hours of sleep every night, stay away from junk food, and exercise. Exercise improves blood flow to our eyes as well as our entire body. Stay pretty, stay healthy!

Organic Skincare for Chic Girls on a Budget

You can get glowing skin with natural remedies that won't break your wallet

If you are worried about trying all sorts of chemicals to treat acne-prone skin (or are on a tight budget like most people today!) we put together a list of organic and cheap remedies to try at home.
These organic skin treatments are safe on most skin types. It is important to use them regularly for the desired effect. Don’t expect an overnight miracle as with practically all skin products. 

These aren't just for yummy lemonade

• Applying lemon juice on acne-affected skin can reduce your pimples and fade existing scars.

• A face pack of grated cucumber can help clear the skin and prevent further acne from popping up.

Add tea tree oil to your other facial products like masks to kill bacteria that causes pimples

• Using tea tree oil in a home-made clay pack can heal acne effectively by killing bacteria that causes pimples.

• Don’t wash your face too frequently if you have oily skin. This will cause the skin to secrete extra oil and lead to more breakouts. Washing twice a day is good enough.

• You can use a mixture of rose water and lemon juice as a soothing cleanser for sensitive skin.

Let cucumber soothe your tired eyes and stressed out skin

• Mint and coriander juice are excellent remedies to soothe your skin and prevent acne.

• A mixture of mint juice and turmeric is good for spot treatment of pimples.

• Consume 3-5 cloves of garlic regularly and also apply the extract of crushed garlic on acne for fast healing. Garlic is a natural anti-bacterial agent!

Remember, whatever remedy you choose to try, it is important to follow the regimen regularly. The trick is to be consistent and not give up. Yes, you can have glowing skin on a budget!
