I have been interested in sampling various moisturizing oils and serums lately because I feel that they have a stronger hydrating effect over regular lotions.  I recently had the opportunity to try a sample of SkinMedica’s Hydrating Complex, which is a new product they released this year.

Using nourish botanicals that soothe, hydrate and protect your skin, this collection features an assortment of products that are free of parabens, lauryl sulfates, mineral oil, and propylene glycol. The collection includes their new Rejuvenating Hand Remedy, new …read more

Oil of Olay was the first moisturizer that I ever used.  My mom has been using Olay products for as long as I can remember and the light fragrance and distinctive black-topped bottle of the standard moisturizer has been floating around my family for years.  With over 100 products for all skin types and budgets, I am always interested to see what new lines this reliable brand is releasing next.

This August Olay launched a new product line called Complete Ageless that “helps to give more ageless looking skin in five days.”   The entire line is enriched with green tea and …read more

A friend and I passed by the Philosophy counter this past weekend and the sales associate told us about the newest product in the line, Divine Illumination. She raved about its wonderful skin brightening and moisturizing properties.
Philosophy Divine Illumination is their skin illuminating anti-aging moisturizer. It’s formulated to fade dark spots, hydrate, smooth and even out your skin tone. There are also firming and anti-wrinkle benefits. This would be a great product to try if you have age spots and feel your skin needs a little more ‘help’ than what you’re current moisturizer is doing.  I didn’t pick it up …read more

When I finally wised up and started taking care of my skin one of my first ‘high-end’ choices was Philosophy and I’ve been a big fan ever since. I know I’ve written about Philosophy products before, specifically their Purity Made Simple face wash, so I may be biased when I say they’re amazing, but really, they are!
If you want to take the plunge and try it out for yourself, I highly suggest picking up the Philosophy Basics Set. It’s a perfect introductory set because it contains the best of the best from the line.
Purity Made Simple One Step Facial Cleanser

It’s great when you find a daily moisturizer you don’t have to spend a lot of money on. Most drugstore brands have the same ingredients as department store moisturizers and they target the same skin problems. It all comes down to what works for your skin.
Neutrogena Healthy Defense Daily Moisturizer with SPF 45 is a hydrating every day moisturizer. It’s important to look for moisturizers that contain SPF. Protecting your skin from the sun’s harmful rays should be top priority in your skincare regimen. Healthy Defense Daily Moisturizer is a light-weight, non-greasy, easily absorbed moisturizer. This is great for all …read more

Bliss Blood Orange and White Pepper Body Butter is a favorite among Bliss spa clients. Used in more than 70,000 massages each year, the body butter contains coconut oil, soybean oil, and Vitamins A and E. Sodium Hyaluronate, another ingredient, is a powerful humectant that increases the skin’s ability to hold water.
I looked the product up on Sephora. I wanted to see what everyone is saying about Blood Orange and White Pepper. It’s currently receiving 4.8 out of 5 stars. It is a bit on the pricey side for a body butter, but how much did you spend on moisturizers last year that …read more
