The great thing about writing a piece on something that I believe in, is that the words just come to me simply and land on the page without effort. That is why I made the decision long ago to cover in this column only products and events that I enjoyed using or attending myself. I will be straightforward in saying that I get approached daily by the PRs of companies wishing to get a write-up by the HUEA girl, but I systematically turn them down. It’s usually the products one finds through word-0f-mouth that are the best anyway.
Which is why I listened to a friend when she described the Luxtural™ line as “bottled salvation” for her skin. A kind of fountain of youth in a three-step program. I have always been wary of companies that promise youth, perkiness and elasticity in a bottle. I am also skeptical of those programs that require I set aside a whole other time/event entry in my ICal calendar in order to apply all the products. I know instinctively what my skin craves and needs and I usually can see the results within minutes of the first application. Big red spots, sallow skin and dry patches equal a fast NO; a relaxed look, radiant, glowy skin and a lot of “oohs” and “aahs” from my friends equal a big, resounding YES! And the latter is exactly what I got, within two applications of the Luxtural™ trio of products. Yes, girls, you didn’t miss-read “trio”. Even if you wanted to buy more, you can’t; this is quite simply and organically a three-step program, guaranteed to bring hydration and a glow to every complexion.
The line has been created by Pnina Vilinsky, whose passion for face creams and beauty products started at the age of three, when her mother started allowing her around her cosmetics. While growing up, she watched the women in her family struggle with the age-old issue of getting, well… older. The loss of elasticity, the sallow complexion, the dry patches, the crows’ feet, these are crosses that all women have to bear in their lifetime. But Ms. Vilinsky’s career in the cosmetic industry and her travels around the world started to show her the way to better skin, luckily for us.
Ever heard the expression “if only they could bottle it”? Well they did! The singular ingredient which make the Luxtural™ products unique is pure Pacific Rainwater. Clean, unadulterated and untouched by toxins and contaminants the rainwater is collected before it touches the ground and is the single, most important factor behind this beauty regiment. From the Mystique Fountain – the first step – which is a facial deep hydrating mist, to step two – the Silk Premonition – a deep facial moisturizing and anti-aging lotion, to the final Sophisticated Veil, an anti-aging deep moisturizing serum, all the products include this wonderfully crisp and clean H2O. If that wasn’t enough, they are scented with all natural essential oils which the user is encouraged to breathe in – and all its wonderful bouquet – during application, packaged in wonderfully elegant containers with easy, convenient pumps and priced under US $190. I say, follow me on a delightful journey to your skin’s heaven and discover the beauty glowing inside.

Great product!! It was time to have such a natural product that works throught the whole day on the skin. I had dry and dull skin that needed to be moisturized often during the day.From the time that I use the three stage products my skin is softer, revitalized and radiant. I get many compliments, people see me younger and a beautician thought that I was wearing makeup! I love the fresh feeling of the water and the way the cream and serum absorbe in the skin. The natural smell contributs to the sense of vitality and healthy look of the skin.I HIGHLY reccomend the use of LUXTURAL to my best friends!

My friend advised me to try this new product call Luxtural – After using this wonderful product for 5 days – nearly all my skin problems were gone – the dryness, the stinging, the redness.
I recommend this product to all of you !!

An amature product in a nice bottle. This product doesn’t worth the money you pay. Anything I got from duane reade works better.

I must address Jenny’s comment, only because it somehow puts in question my integrity on this column. I only write about products that I have tried extensively and have truly enjoyed. It’s what sets me apart from most of my colleagues out there. Of course, as with any treatment and beauty product – actually as with ANYTHING in life – each person’s reaction to something is unique. And we must always keep in mind that nothing is going to be a miracle. We are only going to be able to improve on what Nature gave us in the first place…

I must say that I have tried Luxtural and it is the best skin care I ever had in my life. My skin feels deeply hydrated and smooth soft and supple. I highly recomend the products to anyone – amazing.

! I have been using Luxtural products for about six weeks and I can see and feel the difference. My skin feels softer and less dry. The products smell great and go on smoothly. I think these products are well worth the price; after all, you only have one face!

Being 40 years old and extremely conscious to my skin I rarely try new skin treatments and rather stick to the traditional international cosmetic manufacturer. However,Luxtural was recommended to me by my friend and I have tried using it
with astonishing results! Wow!!! Only after few days of using it my skin became very silky and radiant. I love the fresh feeling of the water spray and the way the cream and the serum feel and are absorbed on my face.I am already addicted to Luxtural’s products and highly recommend it.

I’ve used Luxtural for months and I love how it makes my skin feel and look. I’ve tried many products, even ones specifically designed for woman of color but they have not given me lasting results. After using Luxtural products my skin looks and feels soft, silky and hydrated, and the feeling lasts all day. My cheek areas that get very chaffed and raw during the winter have great improvement in color and texture. Normally I just use moisturizers on my skin…just don’t have the time or patience for most skin care regimes, but I’m loving the three-step application of Luxtural, it’s quick and easy to apply. And the pure rainwater and natural extracts used is just refreshing and gives the products a wonderful smell. From someone who doesn’t spend a lot on skin products, it’s well worth the money.

You’d have thought that a brand charging extortionate prices could’ve at least afford a decent product design.
A mere glance at Luxtural makes me nauseous.
