Most of us have a favorite pick-me-up. Perhaps it's a jolt of sugar with a bite of chocolate, ginseng or maybe a latte. While I do love those lattes, one of my favorite pick-me-ups is from Joey's new line, Instant Chemistry, it's the Quick Lunchtime Face Peel.

Now, my day schedule doesn't allow me to do this at lunch but before going out in the evening it's a must. This is a soothing, really gentle mask that surprises with it s efficacy as it doesn't burn or leave skin red - none of those unwanted side effects, simply an added cleanliness, radiance and glow.

This is an easy on, easy off gel peel. Simply apply the gel thinly to face and neck. Leave it on until the masque is dry (about 15 minutes), then slowly roll the masque off, working from the neck toward the forehead.

Following this I like to rinse with warm water before using moisturizer. (I'd also like to lie down and relax while the masque works its wonders, but I'm usually pressing whatever I'm going to wear. (Ah well, Joey can't take in ironing, too!)
