Skin-Smoothing Treats From L’Occitane

Michelle Smith — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 00:12:16 +0000

I’m a big fan of L’Occitane’s Verbena scent. It’s now available as part of a collection of Shea bath and body products that is only available at Sephora. The All Shea All Day set is priced at $24.

Shea butter is known for it’s deep moisturizing benefits. Other skin-soothing ingredients include Vegetal Wheat Proteins, Apricot Oil, Honey, Sweet Almond Extract, Glycerin, Marshmallow, Lavender Essential Oil, and both Almond and Soy Milk. The limited edition set contains small sizes of shea verbena shower cream, shea body lotion, shea hand cream, shea foot cream, and a shea milk soap.

Natural beauty lovers will appreciate that the formulas are free from BHA, EDTA, formol, formaldehyde, and they are all vegan.

If you’d prefer to get an all-Verbena set, then take a look at L’Occitane’s Enchanting Verbena Set. It’s only $22 and you get a hand cream, shower gel, body lotion, perfumed sachet, and a soap.

Clinique Stop Signs Hand Repair

Kelly Townsend — Thu, 27 Aug 2009 03:56:00 +0000

While many women pay attention to the delicate skin around their eyes and mouth, they oftentimes neglect another area that really shows the signs of aging — the hands. Moisturizers, serums, face lifts and Botox might keep your face from cracking over time, but you have to make sure to keep your hands in tiptop shape too.

One of my favorite hand creams is Clinique Stop Signs Hand Repair. Using botanical extracts, this collagen-boosting product helps fade age spots, relieve dryness and diminish wrinkles while reducing future damage.

This antioxidant-rich formula leaves your hands feeling silky soft and protects them free radicals.

At just $18.50 for a 2.5 oz, it’s an economical buy. You can find Stops Signs Hand Repair at local Clinique counters and online at Clinique, Nordstrom and many other outlets.

For years, I would see my aunt using Yu-Be skin cream on her hands. I never thought much of it until someone sent me a sample of this cream to try out for myself. This glycerin-based cream does a lot more than moisturize, it really heals, protects and nourishes your skin.
