Does such a thing exist? Actually, yes, in several forms. I would like to take this time of year to focus on one of my skin-saver ‘scripts. Winter is dry, scaly skin time. Everyone loves the hot cocoa and fires and the chunky sweaters but no one is singing about the gross scaliness happening on our feet and hands. Enter …
Lip SPF
You hear so much about how to protect your skin from the sun, but what about your lips? Dutifully slathering on the sun block can still miss one very vunerable part of your body. And here is the scare message, skin cancer occurs on the lips quite frequently, particularly because it’s a spot that often goes without protection. So, …
New Mineral Sunblock Spritz
The quest for easy, good quality sunblock for the family continues. I have been watching the Babyganics brand for awhile, but finally bought in when I saw their Cover Up Baby Moisturizing Suncreen Spray SPF 50. Zinc oxide along with two chemical blockers make up the active sun-protecting components. This is a pump spray so each spritz puts out a …
CeraVe Tries Eyes
I’ve made no secret of my love for the CeraVe brand when it comes to moisture. They blazed a trail for incorporating the most potent hydrating ingredients into daily use lotions. At the start of the new year they debuted their Eye Repair Cream. I stumbled upon it in the drugstore and couldn’t get it to the register fast enough. …
Spray-on Soft Skin?
We all know about a spray-tan is but how about a spray-moisturizer? I guess this isn’t the first go-around for spray-on moisturizing lotions, but it’s the first in a long time so I have to comment. Our skin needs moisture. It’s crying out for it, actually. Big beauty companies are always trying to find new ways to dress up moisturizer. …
New Year, New Blush
Welcome to 2014! I don’t know about you, but even though it’s a new year and fresh start, I sometimes can use a little help with looking fresh (read: awake). Typically I enlist a blush to bring me to life…pretty sure I’m not the only one. While I do love (and will always love) Benefit’s Benetint for that natural rosy-cheek …
Intensive Repair to the Rescue
I don’t know about you, but the dry, cold air hit us BAM quick this year. My skin is still in a panic, gasping out cries for moisture! please! Diligent hand washing and overuse of hand sanitizers are making my hands suffer the most. I’m quite sure you know what I’m talking about. It isn’t pretty and it sure doesn’t feel …
Vasanti’s Brighten Up!
Exfoliation is an important part of your beauty routine, if your skin isn’t too sensitive to tolerate it. You remove dead skin cells to allow your freshest face to show. I found this scrub in my monthly Birchbox this spring. I haven’t tried zillions of scrubs, but I have had a few. This one blew me away. The micro-particles in this “enzymatic …
Moisturizing Sunscreen by EltaMD
I can only go so long without reviewing another sunscreen. They are the cornerstone of my professional life, not to mention a mainstay of my daily life. Why wouldn’t I want to try everything out there? EltaMD is a brand most commonly dispensed by physician’s offices. It prides itself on a variety of unique formulations based on skin type and …
Stila’s BB a Bust?
I’m venturing back into a world where I might not belong…that thin line between skincare and makeup. I can’t help it. The built-in excuse to buy more products because “I should do a review of it” is just too tempting. For the past three days I have been doing a trial run of Stila’s Stay All Day Beauty Balm with …
