Sometimes, I want to super-customize what serums I use at what times. And sometimes - especially when I'm traveling - I want one little tube that's going to do all the things I need. So, on my last trip, I took with me my All-Use Skin Serum from SwissVita!
Does the word, 'Retinol' strike fear into your heart? Do you immediately think of the harsh, doctor-prescribed formulas of yore that made your skin turn red and peel off before finally healing? Skincare science has advanced, thank goodness, and now you can get the skin-clearing benefits of Retin-A, but in a non-prescription form of Retinol. It takes longer, but is so much gentler, and it's become a staple, not only in my skincare, but that of my husband, as well.
Have you noticed that as the seasons change, your skin's needs change a little bit, too? I love changing up my skincare routine pretty often anyway, but there are times when I'm looking for a little more of this, or a little more of that, a little more help with blemishes, or a little lighter routine. If you're looking for a little more Vitamin C, you might want to check out this Triple C serum from Buena Skin!
I've tried a lot of skincare, so it's only natural that eventually I'd try something from Korea. If you haven't heard of K-beauty, it's all things Korean for beauty and skincare - and they are known for doing it right.
Did anyone ever tell you to, 'sleep on it' when you had a problem or a difficult decision to make? Our body uses the down time to rest and rejuvinate, and often, things seem clearer after a good night's sleep. With StriVectin's Overnight Resurfacing Concentrate, sleeping on it can mean waking up with great skin, too!
I use skincare not only to protect and nourish my skin, but also to keep it looking as good as possible. So, when I find a serum that not only has longer-term benefits, as well as immediate visual results, I'm pretty exited!
Do you get overwhelmed by the sheer number of Vitamin C serums out on the market? I've tried a bunch of them, and even I get that way sometimes. I recently have been using a Vitamin C serum from Vibriance that ticks a lot of the boxes of what I look for in a serum.
Long-time readers will know that I do love checking out serums. I love trying new formulations, small brands - big brands - lots of different serums. There are a few ingredients that I just keep coming back to, because I know that my skin looks and feels better when I use them - and Retinol is definitely one of the stars of my skincare routine!
More powerful than one type of Vitamin C, fast enough to show almost immediate results, able to catch and neutralize free radicals! Is it a bird? A plane? It's Superman, Super Vitamin C!
This week has been a Derma E-xtravaganza! I've talked about my experience cleansing with Derma E, and polishing with Derma E, and today, I wrap up this series with some of the things I use to help nourish and moisturize.
Do you know that scene in Toy Story 2 where Mrs. Potato Head packs the Mr. a set of angry eyes? That's how I feel about my one wonky eye. She's always packed it for me.
In this serum from Bauana Naturals, Hyaluronic and Kojic Acid gets shortened to Hyko!(TM) and it makes me think of that great Mardi Gras song, Iko Iko.
Was my skin as lifted as my spirits after listening to this catchy song? Maybe!
Wrinkles - who wants 'em? Not me. I'm fighting them with several ingredients, and I'm always happy when I find a serum that combines several of these wrinkle-fighters in one!
I have such an affection for Reviva Labs as a company, and for their products. I really identify with their no-nonsense approach to providing the best products at a reasonable price. Unique from their beginnings, they started in 1973 by sourcing the specialties of 12 labs in six European countries and bringing them all to the United States. Since then, they've become experts in blending unique skincare for various targeted concerns - and this new Ultra-Potency Vitamin C + Antioxidant Serum is a product of that research and blending. It not only combines many of my favorite skincare ingredients, it introduces a new one - Emblica!
I have another Valentia product review for you today. I can't help it - I'm really a big fan! Even my husband has asked me to repurchase their Scrub For Men, and I have to admit, his skin has never looked better. If you have sensitive skin, I tested out their Royal Rose Hydrating Serum, and I'd love to tell you about my experience with it.
You're welcome for the earworm. Figured I'd share, since I can't think about ESSA Vita-C-Whip without rockin' out to some Old School Devo. 'Cause when some skin problems come around, I must whip 'em!
I've been a fan of Valentia skincare for a while, now, and I'm excited to tell you about this new Clear Lift Revitalizing Serum (and stay tuned in the next couple of weeks for a review of their Rose serum for sensitive skin, and a Mr. LitFromWithin's views of their exfoliator from their new line for men!)
No one will ever mistake me for being a celebrity (though I always get told that I look like someone people know..) But a good skincare regimen is essential for having radiant skin, and with Anaiti Luminous Serum for Celebrity Skin, I'm ready for my closeup, Mr. Demille!
Oily skin has meant for me that pimples weren't just a part of puberty. I still deal with them, and it gets frustrating! Spot treating an already erupted pimple means days of redness, and crusty areas that are hard to cover with concealer. So, I've been trying to head the pimples off at the pass with Eclipse Blemish Solution.
