Product Review

Now that I have come to an age where my sister would say "time to invest in your face", I have come to the conclusion that I'm living with this skin forever and I need to start taking care of it now.  Recently I started using Demalogica Special Cleansing Gel.  It's amazing!  It really cleans out all the dirt and oil after a long days work.  although Demalogica can be a bit pricey, (ranging from $25.00-$55.00) it is worth every penny.  The cleanser has lifted all my blackheads and made it easier to get rid of those nasty zits and such. The cleanser fights oils and keeps your skin feeling smooth and silky, but it doesn't take off eye makeup, so i suggest buying a good makeup remover which isn't too oily.  I like Almay Moisturizing Eye Makeup remover in liquid form, and it's only $5.99!  I recommend checking out Amazon.com for the best price depending on what kind of face wash you are looking for.

Dermalogica Special Cleansing Gel, 8.4 fl oz (250 ml)Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant 2.6 oz. Almay Eye Make Up Remover Liquid, Moisturizing - 2 / Pack

Next, I want to remind you all that summer is creeping up on us and no matter how much you want that sun kissed bronze look, you NEED/MUST take care of your face and wear a moisturizer with sunscreen.  I use Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing gel and although I LOVE it, this year I'm going to have to can it, because it does not contain any SPF. 

According to ELLE Magazine these are the top 5 ranked Moisturizers with SPF:
#1. Clinique Superdefense Triple Action Moisturizer with SPF 25 - "Makes skin soft and silky” and acts as a “shield against sun and pollution” to help prevent brown spots and fine lines. ($55.00)

#2. Olay Definity Correcting Protective Lotion with SPF 15 - "skin tone fixer" ($20.99)

#3. Neutrogena Healthy Defense Daily Moisturizer SPF 45 - “has it all,” including “a high level of sun protection” and antioxidants in a lightweight cream formula that truly “fits the bill.” ($26.49)
Neutrogena Healthy Defense Daily Moisturizer, SPF-45, 1.7-Ounce Packages (Pack of 2)
#4. Juice Beauty SPF 30 Mineral Sheer Moisturizer -“a natural sunscreen” that “works great under makeup” and contains ultrahydrating glycerin." ($29.00)
 Juice Beauty SPF 30 Sheer Moisturizer 2 fl oz (60 ml)
#5.  La Mer The SPF 18 Fluid -“the elegant texture doesn’t feel like sunscreen.” ($126.95)
