Dolce & Gabbana Aurealux Skincare

It was only a matter of time before Dolce & Gabbana created their own skincare. The luxury beauty brand recently launched not one, but two collections: The Essential line offers cleansers, exfoliator, toner and makeup remover while the premium Aurealux line showcases a selection of advanced skin treatments.

All five Aurealux products feature the Gold Flavo-Silk Tricomplex, a trio of gold silk sericin, Italian olive oil, and vitamin B3. The silk extract is derived from rare gold silk cocoons, which were grown and harvested with traditional sericulture techniques. Olive oil extract is added to strengthen top skin layers while vitamin B3 increases cellular turnover. 

The Aurealux Cream ($129) is touted as the hero product of the entire line. The gel-cream feels just a tad rich but absorbs quickly, delivering immediate comfort and plumpness to the skin. There is a light floral scent but that dissipates quickly. The refreshing Aurealux Eye Gel ($72) seems suitable for normal or oily skin, but it may not be hydrating enough for super dry skin. 

The Aurealux Serum ($129) helps improve firmness and radiance over time. I find that the Aurealux Cream performs better when you use it with the serum. And if that's not enough hydration, add the Aurealux Mask ($169/6 masks) for an intense moisture boost. Leave the stretchy fabric mask on for 10 minutes and you'll see vibrant results for up to 12 hours.

Both Dolce & Gabbana skincare lines ($35-$169) are available exclusively at Saks Fifth Avenue.

Gold silk cocoons??? Oh my! Makes me wonder if one could get a chic wrap spun out of that. ;)

Fancy stuff indeed. You can probably get a wrap like that but it will cost some pretty pennies. :)
