RareMinerals™ Skin Revival Treatment
This breakthrough, mineral-based nighttime treatment represents the first of its kind. For the first time ever, all 72 organic macro and micro minerals that exist in nature are available in a time released, active ingredient formula. Containing no preservatives and zero irritants whatsoever, it's ideal for all skin types, even the most sensitive.
Bare Escentuals creates its products with the belief that healthy skin is the first line of defense against aging. The patent-pending, 100 percent pure organic mineral concentrate in RareMinerals Skin Revival Treatment™ contains a perfectly-balanced blend of 72 macro and micro minerals harvested from untouched, virgin soil. The unique, non-aqueous form of the organic soil mineral concentrate is the perfect nutrient carrier for vitamins A and C, and a host of botanical extracts. Some of the benefits are: faster skin renewal, increased firmness, improved hydration, increased skin luminosity, and a reduction in the appearance of redness associated with acne and rosacea.
The exclusive powder form delivers these benefits at their fullest potency, and also increases the skin's ability to better utilize each of its natural ingredients. While the Pillow Puff™ applicator provides flawless delivery and exact application, the real action takes place while you're sleeping.
Size: 0.15 oz / $60

I have great doubts of skin products, skin nourishment should be taken literally, you need to eat healthy to get a healthy skin.
And the moisturising effects of lotions and cremes are nonsense, when you look at creme/lotion lists in a physician's handbook you'll find that all but the greasiest of cremes (think vaseline) are actually drying out the skin.
-
I have to agree with pizza cat 100%.
Healthy well nourished skin is a product of what you eat, not what you put on your face.

Not all "what you eat". It's also what you drink, what you do not "drink", what you do not smoke, and pop. Genetic also plays a big factor as well. So if you are not good to your skin from within, or are but just don't have the greatest of genetics... I can understand looking for something to help inprove it or cover it up.
-
true, but I was referring to the 'nurishment' aspect mostly. I'll rephrase it to 'live healthy' and have good skin (or be unlucky and have crappy genes)

Secret tip from a leading NYC plastic surgeon after this third glass of wine: :P It doesn't matter AT ALL what moisturizer you use on your skin, as long as you apply it directly after showering or washing your face to lock in as much natural moisture as possible...the "lighter" the texture of the cream the better apparently, especially on sensitive areas of the face. The worst moisturizers to use apparently are blockers, like petroleum based moisturizers, which don't allow moisture either in or out and can make a dry skin prob even worse.
What you do or don't put into your body goes a long way. I believe in the horse diet... lots of raw oats! :D Muesli (the sugarless, original recipe kind) by the carloads does wonders for skin and hair.
But as anyone who lives in extreme weather countries knows, severe cold and electric heat can really dry out the epidermis big time. >:(

The idea of greasy creames is to help restore the natural lipide film that protects our skin. All the scrubbing and cleansing leaves us...well... naked. I don't see any reason or mechanism why water should have to be applied from the outside.

I'm just repeating what a drunken plastic surgeon told me. But apparently it isn't such a secret and is advised all over the place. The surgeon did say that using heavy, thick creams on the face drags on the skin and causes wrinkles.

I'm still not buying it, if anything the cosmetic/aesthethics industry(including plastic surgeons) have a large interest in pushing unnessecery treatments and products. There's a lot of pseudo scientific bogus around al this.
The skin is normally in a balance, it's a bit oily thus keeping it flexible and preventing dehydration. The second we start severely 'cleansing' our skin we disrupt the balance and we have to restore it by using creames and lotions. I don't believe for one bit that our manmade concoctions are better than what our body uses as protecting film.
-
You are not supposed to "severely" cleanse.
Moisturizers are also recommended to protect against pollutants and the sun.
-
Aye, but that's what we are doing by even using mild soaps(keeping the natural oil film intact would mean just rinsing).
We are putting the skin through a treatment it wasn't designed for.
Well sunscreen is another thing, that has it's purpose absolutely.
-
But would just rinsing get rid of all the pollutants and such that have deposited themselves on our skin?
-
And how much is this Bare Rare Crap?
I spend most days covered in mud. But I'm a gardener.

gotta get back to work...

Ok, I checked this out:
http://www.sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?id=P136024&categoryId=C16490&shouldPaginate=true (http://www.sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?id=P136024&categoryId=C16490&shouldPaginate=true)
and it comes in shades or clear? but you wear it to bed, so why the need for color? I suppose if you wanted to have a flawless complexion for overnight guests?
I placed an order for Bare Escentuals but opted not to try this. Maybe some other time. I haven't used the Bare Escentuals line of mineral makeup, will see how I like it compared to my current brand, http://www.lumierecosmetics.com/

it's a very good product line that is beneficial to the skin. it actively repairs skin over time and unlike foundations and other products doesn't seep into pores clogging them

I agree with that since I use mineral makeup, but why do you think they have tinted nightime (sleeping) Revival Treatment? They say you can sleep in the mineral foundation, and I have a few times and it is nothing like if you sleep in "regular" foundation, with the shades why not wear this Revival all the time?
Migs? :)
EDIT: the answered the color question:
The groundbreaking RareMinerals Skin Revival Treatment is the first-ever overnight mineral-based skincare treatment to help speed cell turnover (up to 35%), minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, increase firmness, reduce pore size (up to 57%), improve hydration, boost radiance (up to 20%) and reduce redness associated with acne and rosacea. A potent blend of nutrient-rich minerals restore and re-energize your skin while you sleep, so you can wake up to a more radiant glow and a clearer, brighter, smoother-looking complexion. This unique, mineral-based treatment works for all skin types and conditions from dry to acne-prone, including the most sensitive skin conditions, like rosacea. And it's also available in four shades, so you can infuse nutrients while diffusing imperfections.

my assumption would be that it is for going out. Let me rephrase, perhaps they tinted it for those that touch up or reapply make-up after work when they go out for drinks, party etc. this would eliminate the need to wash or remove makeup when you get home. especially handy for the type of girls that ends up passing out. This way she'll still look radiant while drunk, and save time from the morning routine of putting up make up while hung over.

they marketed this to wear to bed? To sleep in. Overnight. So you wash your face (or shower) at night then put this on and go to bed.
After I get my order in and if I like this brand I will order this maybe. I did order the Bare Radiance Kit, for times when I just want to run to the store without having to do my face, but being a redhead I always feel washed out:
http://www.sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?id=P185222&categoryId=B70 (http://www.sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?id=P185222&categoryId=B70)
What it is:
A three piece set containing essentials for highlighting your radiant natural beauty.
What else you need to know:
This Bare Radiance Collection epitomizes the essential lightness of being bare. The 100% pure bareMinerals Bare Radiance All-Over Face Color infuses skin with dewy softness and light, while Bare Radiance Lip Gloss elicits the natural sensuality of your lips. It's the enchanted afterglow effect, beautifully captured for all complexions.
What else you need to know:
Kit includes a 0.03 oz bareMinerals Bare Radiance All-Over Face Color, a 0.2 oz Bare Radiance Lip Gloss, and an Angled Face Brush.
Nice reply though :D

I do what i can. I honestly have no idea. maybe it is for those types that want to apply makeup at night as a time saver in the morning.

It total agreement. When we cleanse, we strip away the skin's natural protective barrier. many moisturizers today are merely petroleum based waxes, greases etc that merely clog pores, but do nothing of value for the skin. Most that claim to contain nutrients may in fact contain them, however the size of the molecules are too large to ever penertrate the pores... thereby doing no good.
The best nourishment you can give your skin comes in through the mouth. It's not merely what the quality of the nutrients you eat, ...but what you absorb. Skin forms from the inside out. Proper cleansing, and proper nutrition combined with good blood flow and circulation will do more for your skin than most creams and lotions.
Unless of course, we're talking about signalling your skin cells on the cellular level. but there again, we are still effecting a change from the inside out.
No comment on Bare Essentials, as I have never used that brand.
