Having an 18 month old and another on the way (I’m due May 11th!), I feel like I’ve been pregnant for the past two years. That said, I’m very selective with what I put on my skin. Clarins is a brand that I feel confident using because they’re devoted to working with plant extracts to create effective formulas. One of my new favorites is their Double Serum. It just launched in February but is 27 years in the making. Researchers had 200 different plant extracts at their fingertips and chose the 20 most powerful that work together to hydrate, protect and strengthen the skin. Green banana, burdock, kiwi, arnica and quinoa are some that made the cut. One pump distributes enough product for the entire face, and I love how the serum absorbs right in. Skin won’t feel tacky or wet — you can immediately follow with makeup or layer with a moisturizer or sunblock. Plus, its faint floral aroma is so soothing, I find myself going back for second and third sniffs. Or, maybe I should chalk that up to another weird pregnancy craving.
I’m giving 2 people the chance to win Double Serum — an $85 value! To enter to win this giveaway: comment on this post, like thebeautygirl.com on facebook or follow me on twitter and RT the message. Good luck!
If you’re going to invest in one skincare product this season, make it a serum. It’s the hottest product right now. The benefit of a serum is that it penetrates deeper than a moisturizer and is more concentrated. It’s like the superfruit of skincare. There are all types of serums that address different skincare concerns like wrinkles, loss of elasticity, and hyperpigmentation. Here are some to consider: Read More
People always ask me what skincare products I use. I get sent tons of different cleansers, masques, scrubs….you name it, and I’ve probably gotten it. I’m always trying a new formula, and lately I’ve been focusing on naturals. Here’s what’s in my current rotation.
river veda everyday primrose moisturizer is pure and simple. No high-tech ingredients here, so don’t expect fireworks. Rather, I feel good rubbing this cream with herbs and oil extracts including nutmeg, ylang ylang and evening primrose on my skin before bed.
Love, love, love (get the point?) derma e Hyaluronic Acid Rehydrating Serum. Does what it promises. I use this during the day. It’s light yet moisturizing and soaks right in.
For a basic cleanser I wash with Snowberry Instant Deep Cleanser, and when I’m excessively dry, I get relief with the soothing facial massage oil.
I understand why some women (especially those on the oilier side) treat a hair serum like the devil. Unless the eenciest bit is applied, and applied evenly, bad things can happen. Not this time around. Here are a couple of new serums that have something wonderful in common — Argan oil.
Kerastase Elixir Ultime ($54) This souped-up serum smells lovely and contains a blend of conditioning and anti-oxidant rich ingredients including Maize, Pracaxi, Camellia, and Argan oils. What’s this mean for your hair? No more frizz and lots of fullness and softness.
Redken All Soft Argan-6 Oil ($21.50)
I’m all for multi-tasking products, and this utlra lightweight serum, which also contains the hair softening ingredient Argan Oil, can be used 6 ways! 1. as a heat protector pre-blow dry 2. as a shine booster 3. as a softening treatment. 4. as a pre-shampoo moisturizer 5. as a smoothing serum post-blow dry 6. as an overnight conditioner.
However, my newfound relationship with Lancôme’s Genifique Youth Activating Concentrate has changed my ways. Falling victim to great PR and advertising, I picked up a bottle on a whim. It works by “boosting the activity of genes and stimulating the production of youth proteins.” Who cares what the heck that means—it works!
My skin tends to be dry and flaky, so I’m all about brighteners. After just two days of using Genifique, my skin made major strides. I wear tinted moisturizer or a sheer foundation daily to even out and warm my skintone, and I’ve been skipping that all together. I apply the clear, smooth serum at night, and I wake up with the glowiest, dewiest skin of my adult life. My complexion is more uniform, youthful and fresh looking. It’s been a long time since I’ve found a product that truly makes a difference in my skin. It’s not drugstore cheap (the smallest bottle is $58), but it has proven to be worth every penny. Now, if only Lancôme would sell this in bulk. (posted by Cody)
