Kiehl's Deluxe Hand & Body Lotion with Aloe Vera & Oatmeal

Great light weight, light scent lotion

Great lotion! I have used the lavender scent but am currently trying the mango scent. I love that this lotion is lightweight and quickly absorbed. I don’t have to worry about that sticky feeling after using it, but yet it still hydrates my skin, even in the winter. I also like that the scent is light and not overpowering. I like a lotion that smells good, but realistically, I don’t want to want around smelling like mango all day. I prefer to have a perfume scent and do not want it to have to compete with a lotion. It is a little expensive, but it works better than most store bought brands I have tried, so seems worth it.

Estee Lauder Idealist Pore Minimizing Skin Refinisher

Great for smoothing out your skin

I’m not sure that this product is actually reducing the size of my pores, but I love using it. It hydrates my skin and serves as an excellent base for my make up. Everything does on smooth and my skin feels supple and even after applying this product.

DDF Erase Eye Gel

Luke warm results

I also have mixed feelings about this product – it’s somewhat expensive and I’m not convinced it’s all that great. I do like the texture – smooth and easily absorbed. The first few times I used it, it stung under my eyes, but after a few times I got use to it and it was not a problem. I don’t have sensitive skin, so if you do, be sure to test out the product. I do at times feel like it’s reducing my dark circles, but I don’t feel like I’ve seen a major change. Dark circles are my main concern, other than general preventative works, so I think I would go back to using an overall eye cream that focuses on protecting the skin around my eyes.

Skinceuticals Phyto Corrective Gel

Don't know a good thing until its gone

This is one of those products that you don't realize is critical to your daily routine until you stop using it. My esthetician recommended that I use this product to review a few discoloration spots that were becoming more visible as I was getting a little older. Because it works subtly, I almost didn’t realize it was working. My skin was looking great, but I’m kind of a product junkie so it was hard to attribute it to one thing. That was until I stopped using it and the uneven skin tone started to become noticeable. There’s no irritation with this product, it’s easy to use and is effective in both the protection and removal of minor discolorations.

Renee Rouleau Elderberry Toner

Toner is a must

Everyone always talks about the benefits of toner, but it seemed as if that was the one step that I always left out. How important could it really be? One day I had the privilege of having a facial by Renee Rouleau and she convinced me that its an essential part of the process. So, I gave it a try and have really come to love this product. It helps remove any dirt or make-up left after cleansing, while prepping by face for the next step. The ingredients are great this product never bothers my skin, but instead leaves it feeling fresh and supple as opposed to tight and squeaky.

Aveda Hand Relief Moisturizing Creme

Super Soft Hands

I can feel the difference the moment I rub this lotion into my hands. My hands feel soft and supple for at least a few hours. It even helps moisturize my dry cuticles. The only draw back is that it takes a bit of time to absorb, but the results are worth the wait. Great results for the price!

Olay 2-in-1 Advanced Ribbons Body Wash

Skin Saver

I have thoroughly enjoyed using this product! There are so many body washes out there and they really all seem the same. This body wash lathers well so you know its working, but my skin is noticeably softer and smoother even before I moisturize! Moisture is key to keeping your skin looking young, so every bit counts.
