I have been feeling the need to share. That is to share some of my favorite beauty products of late. And, I have geared my choices more towards winter skincare (for obvious reasons) but, also, with gift giving in mind this holiday season. Any of the products would thrill the beauty obsessed on your list or, perhaps, you'll find something to add to your own holiday wish list!
CINQ MONDES
Universal Ayurvedic Dry Body Oil (5.1 fl oz.)
.
I first encountered the brand Cinq Mondes in France at the Spa at Chateau Berne in Haute Provence.
Cinq Mondes is extremely well know in France but not at all known here in the States. After my spa treatment that day, I walked out with one product that day and it was the Dry Body Oil.
The CINQ MONDES Universal Ayurvedic Dry Body Oil relaxes your mind with exotic botanical aromas as its revitalizing complex of oils hydrate and condition your skin. Essential omega fatty acids and vitamin E repair cell damage and increase elasticity. It smells amazing with exotic scents of jasmine, cardamom and vanilla absolut . It's certified organic and it's perfect for combating dry winter skin. Use it after a shower or bath for maximum benefit.
NEUTROGENA
Hydro Boost Whipped Body Balm
Recently, I was lucky enough to test and review the Hyto Boost line for Neutrogena. The line contains hyaluronic acid to boost skin cells' hydration and lock it in. Hands down the Hydro Boost Whipped Body Balm was my favorite product. It has an amazing smell that is fresh and clean with
benefits that include:
Hydrating balm retains moisture and improves dry skin over time
Leaves skin intensely replenished, feeling soft, and supple
Velvety whipped balm developed with dermatologists is paraben-free
Hydrating & luxurious whipped body balm for dry to extra-dry skin
Contains hyaluronic acid to boost skin cells' hydration and lock it in
Non-greasy, lightweight balm is velvety smooth and absorbs instantly
From the number one-best-selling facial moisturizer brand
SARANGHAE
Elemental Essence Sheet Masks (6 Masks)
Saranghae means LOVE in Korean and I love all the Saranghae products! Throughout the year, I rotate them in an out of my skincare routine. But, during the winter I use the 5 step skincare routine daily because it really hydrates my skin. Once a week I use the sheet mask and before speical events too. Leave it on for 20 min and then massage the remaining mask ingredients into your skin. After use, my skin is hydrated and glowing! Buy the pack of 6 to use as stocking stuffers. Be sure to keep several for yourself for to use before your swanky holiday party and New Years Eve celebrations!!
Revision Skincare Nectifirm, 1.7 oz
One of the first things things we notice as we age is crepey skin on the neck (think a bad selfie angle in bad light!). I was introduced to Nectifrm at my Med Spa. They said people would buy this product in gallon jars if they sold it. And now I get it! It has reduced the appearance of rough, crepey skin and my neck appears more firm and lifted after several years of consistent use.
Nectifim contains plant extracts, antioxidants and unique biotechnological blends that work cohesively to create a smoother, younger-looking neck. All skin types benefit.
OPTIMIZED BIOTIN PEPTIDE Infused Eyelash and Eyebrow Serum
There is a reason people are gaga for fake eyelashes. One the main reason for us older gals is they can make you look 10 years younger (dyeing your gray hair has the same benefit) . But, I prefer to do it the natural way so I have been using Optimized Labs Eyebrow Serum. I apply to my lashes and brows daily. I have seen noticeable growth since I've been using the past year. It's cheaper than Latisse which claims similar results!
(Also, I have been d taking 10,000 mg of biotin daily. It has roles in maintaining healthy skin, hair, and nervous system function. The main takeaway is I am getting longer lashes, thicker brows, healthier hair and stronger nails.)
Sheer Tint Broad Spectrum SPF 45
PCA Skin
I tell all my younger friends this, "USE SUNSCREEN!!!!". Growing up in the 1970's, we baked in the sun and used baby oil for that fried chicken look. I quit laying out in the sun many years ago and have spent an untold amount of time and money trying to reverse all the sun damage. To protect my "investment" sunscreen is a must for me daily.
The best is a broad spectrum sunscreen for maximum coverage. My favorite is PCA Skin Sheer Tint. It provides sheer protection with an antioxidant boost. Designed for use alone or under makeup, it is water-resistant for active lifestyles and contains the antioxidant ubiquinone, which fights free-radical damage for added UV protection. YAAS to all that that!!
