Getaway from it all by checking into the architectural wonder, Remota. Lying low in the land above Last Hope Sound near Torres del Paine National Park, the hotel features endless white corridors that are flooded with light thanks to floor-to-ceiling windows that bring in vast views of sky, water and distant mountains. Grasses grow right up to the walls, and chic indoor campfires waft around wood smoke: all to maintain your connection with the magnificent natural surroundings. Light and airy, the guest rooms are generous in size and fragrant with lenga wood. Even the bathrooms have views.

A spa with heated indoor pool is located in a separate building on the hotel grounds. Inside the relaxing sanctuary, which includes a sauna, open-air Jacuzzis and massage rooms, hotel-goers will find plenty of ways to unwind.

Want beautiful, smooth-looking legs that glow without breaking the bank? Take some of these tips from the pros at Pure Silk…

It’s most likely you will not catch a model shaving her legs at the edge of her tub before hitting the shower; it’s important to allow your skin to be wet for at least four minutes prior to shaving. This helps “plump up” your hair, resulting in a closer, smoother shave.

Kiss pricey body scrubs good-bye; maximize your beauty budget by using Pure Silk Moisturizing Shave Cream, $2, to exfoliate your legs. Shaving not only serves to remove unwanted hair, but also assists with exfoliation. Eliminating dead skin cells will leave your legs looking and feeling glamorous.

Using soap and water alone can leave your skin feeling tight and dry. Pure Silk Moisturizing Shave Cream consists of an aloe-enriched formula that deeply moisturizes the skin to give you soft, silky legs. It creates a rich lather and helps protect against nicks and cuts, leaving your legs feeling smooth.

If you think your model-primped legs lack some color, make the, glow by applying a bronzer or self-tanner. Simply mix your bronzer with your favorite moisturizer and apply to your legs to give them that model-esque radiance you yearn for.

Pure Silk products are available at mass merchandise, grocery and drugstores nationwide. To learn more, visit the SITE.

Charlize Theron’s secret weapon when getting red-carpet-ready? Brilliance New York’s Age Defying Eye Serum ($90) for both her under-eye and décolleté for an easy yet refreshing look.

A rare blend of three fortifying peptides designed to help reduce muscle contraction around the eye, Brilliance New York’s Age Defying Eye Serum helps reduce the production of these neurotransmitters allowing the muscles to relax while assisting in diminishing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. A rich array of natural anti-oxidants and Vitamins A, B, C and E help energize the cells and increase blood circulation around and under the eye reducing dark circles and puffiness, while the amino acids delicately extracted from the Brazilian Cupuacu fruit helps to firm and tone.

How-To Tips:

1. Apply the Age Defying Eye Serum in the morning and at night on clean dry skin.

2. Pat gently with the tip of your index finger as this is the most delicate part of the hand which is well suited for the tender skin around the eyes.

3. It is recommended to follow with the BNY Hydra Booster Mask for maximum absorption of the serum.
