We’ve come a long way since the days when “natural skin care” meant an oatmeal face mask and cucumber slices on your eyes. Case in point: Your face and neck can now be bathed in PreVious Instant Lifting Cure from the new luxe line Beauty by Clinica Ivo Pitanguy (at Neiman Marcus, 150 Stockton St., 415-362-3900), which features the extract of sustainably harvested Centella asiatica, known to boost cell rejuvenation. Meanwhile, your mane couldn’t ask for better treatment than Hamadi’s shea hair cream (at Azalea, 411 Hayes St., 415-861-9888), made with a rich blend of organic essential oils—lemongrass and verbena among them—and shea butter, which contains a naturally occurring sunscreen. Asian women have known for centuries that cleansing with rice water makes for beautiful skin; now we can all do it with Origins Modern Fusion face serum (1 Embarcadero Ctr., 415-981-9609, origins.com), whose all-natural rice ingredients work to stimulate the skin’s shedding process. To finish off your look with a hint of color, pucker up to tinted lip moisturizers from San Rafael’s Juice Beauty (at Sephora, 33 Powell St., 415-362-9360). Combining guava and peach essences with nutrient-rich honey and bee propolis, they smell just as good as they taste.
