Derma Rolling Using Vivant Rejuv Rx

I talked about derma rolling HERE in June when I started getting my skin back in order post-baby. Back then, I didn’t know what to use with my roller since the idea is to make little micro channels in the skin and then feed it something really beneficial. It’s important to pick a serum safe to use with a roller because you can do more harm than good by pu… Read More…

CARGO The Reverse Lip LIner

By now, many color lines have a version of The Reverse Lip Liner but I still love this one the most. Pictured left is the basic way to use the pencil, it really makes the lip look finished and keeps the lip color in place longer. I also like to use it to fill in the entire lip and then add just a hint of light peach or pink gloss for a faint nude lip.

When making changes to your skin, there’s always a hierarchy of treatment options you should follow;

- Improved skincare that contain ingredients necessary for your desired outcome

- Seeing a qualified esthetician to help improve your overall skin condition

- Going to a dermatologist for a prescription like Retin A etc

- Super over the counter cosmeceuticals

- Lasers, chemical peels etc

I would say that seeing a derm and the cosmeceuticals are interchangeable since not everyone has insurance, and even when you do, Retin A can be $100+. At that point, it’s all about getting some products behind you with a little more umph to make a visible correction in your skin.

Murad Intensive Resurfacing Peel is in the super cosmeceuticals category tackling fine lines and wrinkles along with overall skin dullness and texture. About 10 minutes 3 times a week will make your skin look more alive and less wrinkled. I would compare the results to microdermabrasion or a light chemical peel- but for less than you’d spend doing either.

Stumble It!

For a gift that’s as effective as it is fun to use, you have to try Crabtree & Evelyn’s Skin Polishing Ritual.

Simply mix the Ultra Moisturizing Body Butter with the intoxicatingly scented spice medley in the ceramic bowl provided to make a body polishing experience that’s tough to beat.

The spice medley has bits of clove, apricot seed powder, nutmeg, and ginger, forming a consistency similar to coffee grounds that really stays on the body once mixed with the butter allowing for it to be massaged in fully, without it disappearing quickly down the drain.

What a great gift for a White Elephant or for the gal who has it all. She’ll love custom mixing a one of a kind at home spa-like experience well after the holidays.
