AHAVA Diamond Glow Day & Night Cream

AHAVA and I go way back… to 1999 or 2000 when I’d walk into one of three Sephora stores in Manhattan and splurge on the iconic Mineral Hand Cream. Back then, believe it or not, Sephora was pretty low key. I mean, they carried Zia natural skincare – does anyone remember them? Back to AHAVA. Luckily, while my favorite hand cream underwent repackaging twice, it is still the same superb formula from past millennium. OMG I *am* old.

Admittedly, my face care experience with AHAVA has been limited to the Purifying Mud Mask (which, my dozen repurchases are worth mentioning). The most recent launch, however, had me gasp, scream ‘YASSS’ and then do a double take to make sure I wasn’t hallucinating. Entering into the luxury segment, AHAVA went MAJOR and introduced the new Diamond Glow treatment range with two new moisturizers. Because who doesn’t like diamonds, amirite?

There is a good chance you are familiar with AHAVA as the brand has been around since 1988. Known around the world for utilizing the rejuvenating power of minerals found in the Dead Sea, the products deliver on every promise. The brand new Diamond Glow duo combines the Dead Sea Osmoter™ which aims to hydrate, energize and detoxify with Diamond Powder, which has the ability to invigorate the skin while blurring the look of uneven tone, enlarged pores and fine lines. Full on chic, these day and night options blend anti-aging, prestige, and aromatherapy for a one-of-a-kind skincare experience.

Part of your morning ritual, the AHAVA Diamond Glow Luxurious Day-Long Radiance Cream provides lasting comfort and moisture while protecting against free radical damage. Loaded with Dead Sea Minerals and Diamond Powder, this skin brightening medley also includes soothing Aloe and antioxidant rich Vitamin E. Excellent under makeup or just your sunscreen, this extremely hydrating formula features AHAVA’s proprietary Unimoist™ complex, which will not mess with your T-zone nor leave your skin feeling parched. Don’t let the rich whipped texture scare you because it absorbs beautifully. A single scoop filled by the fancy caviar spoon like applicator is all you need.

At bedtime, when your skin is at its most relaxed, indulge in the AHAVA Diamond Glow Night Cream. Surprisingly lighter than the day version, this overnight powerhouse is packed with anti-aging extracts. In addition to the trademark blend of Dead Sea Minerals and Diamond Powder, the blend also highlights Pro-Vitamin B5, Jojoba, and Meadowfoam Seed Oils as well as Red Date Extract, which contains 20 times more Vitamin C than any citrus fruit. Glow boosting, pore refining, and overall regenerating, this night treatment is pretty impressive.

Both AHAVA Diamond Glow moisturizers have a light fragrance that hovers between floral and fruity. Being that I am all about great smelling potions, the aroma is among my Top 3 within the skincare category. Packaged in gorgeous cube shaped jars with ornate lids, these statement makers are housed in padded boxes with a stonecut prism design. Definitely not your mother’s face creams, these brand new launches take old world glamour to new levels of modern luxury and nail it.
