WINTER-PROOF YOUR SKIN WITH ZHEN

TEA TREE FACIAL COLLECTION

Minneapolis, MN – August 2005 – Winter’s here and while your head is thinking of the holidays, skiing in Vail with your beau and snow days off from work, your skin is saying “Oh no!”  Between the bone-chilling temperatures, lack of humidity and dry office air, this season is gearing up to wreak havoc on your skin.  Before heading south for the winter, Zhen has a new collection that should top your list of winter skin must-haves...

Introducing Zhen Tea Tree Collection.    

“Tea tree oil is renowned for its healing and antiseptic properties making it the perfect weapon to combat winter skin woes,” explains Susan Yee, president of Zhen, the industry leader in beauty and skincare products for Asian women and women with yellow undertones.  “We developed our Tea Tree Collection to help women of all skin types achieve healthy skin year round, but most importantly during those harsh winter months.”

The Collection includes:

Prevent winter skin flare-ups with Zhen’s Tea Tree Facial Cleanser.  This gentle cleanser removes dirt and makeup, while exfoliating dry, dead skin cells.  The end result is a clear, glowing complexion.  To use, apply to moistened skin with fingertips or washcloth in a circular motion.  Rinse thoroughly with warm water.  Use twice daily for best results.  SRP: $15.  Tip: Wash with warm, not hot water, during the winter.  Hot water strips skin of its natural moisturizing lipids.

The only mask you’ll ever need for the season is Zhen’s Tea Tree Facial Mask.  This fast-drying, gentle clay mask cleanses and rids skin of impurities.  It combines Tea Tree with Aloe Vera to soothe cranky winter skin.  Use once a week to keep skin looking healthy and blemish free.  Spread a light layer over the face, avoiding the eye area.  Allow mask to dry.  Rinse with warm water and follow up with a moisturizer.  SRP: $18.  Tip: Use two to three times per week for oilier skin.

Just because it is winter doesn’t mean you should skimp on the SPF.  Zhen’s Tea Tree Facial Crème contains an SPF of 25.  Its light moisturizing formula glides on skin and absorbs quickly for optimum results.  Simply apply to face in the morning to moisturize and protect skin all day.  Wear alone or under makeup.  SRP: $20.  Tip: Apply when skin is damp to lock in moisture.
