In all aspects of life, it has been discovered that there are always rules that need to be followed to achieve optimal results. Okay, this epistle is about your skin as usual! Over time, I have come to realize that nothing beats the glow of skin that is well cared for. The rules stated below remain the same: cleanse, tone, moisturize and protect. The tools and products however, change and get better always. Try these and testify!
THE FACIAL MOUSSE – The new L’Oreal pure zone beauty collection is a favorite. Just when I thought I had seen it all, L’Oreal comes up with an oil fighting, blemish busting gel wash that comes in a can and forms into a rich lather once you spray a little onto your palm. From personal experience, I’ll tell you this; hit the shops! It works like a dream.
THE EXFOLIATING HYDROSPONGE- This works like a gentle buffer. Trust me; you will emerge from the shower with brighter skin. If you want to step this up a notch, spread a little in-shower body scrub on your hydro sponge and go at your skin in circular motion. Homemade exfoliation just got better.
THE MINERAL TONER- Let’s be honest, most of us skip using the toner in our beauty regimen. Did you know that your toner helps to take off dirt missed by your cleanser? Do you know that it hydrates your skin and prepares it for the moisturizer? Do you know that your toner helps to improve circulation? Guilt trip aside, I recommend 3lab Perfect Balancing toner. It’s a little pricey , but it does the job with its blend of minerals that are oh-so-good for your precious skin.
MULTITASKING LOTIONS – Don’t you just love it when a lotion comes with its own sunscreen? It saves you the stress of a double application. All you have to do is rub it in lavishly twenty minutes before stepping out and you’re good to go. The venus range is out with a gentle toning lotion that also contains sun protection all in one jar. Much to my delight, I rubbed it on and noticed a subtle sheen I liked…i stared harder and discovered that it’s got the tiniest particles of gold dust ever. I am well and truly hooked!
Go ahead and enjoy these new products that deliver.
