Best Skincare And Haircare Products
This is the list of the best skincare and haircare products for the week, according to moi:)
Best Skincare
Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Cream Intense Hydration for drier skin types, fragrance free and paraben free. Super light super moisturizing, clean non greasy.
Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Overnight Hydrating Masque, replenishes skin’s water reserves for long-lasting hydration and healthy looking skin for all skin types. Paraben free and fragrance free. Super light super moisturizing, clean non greasy.
Shiseido Future Solution LX Total Protective Emulsion SPF 18 Day/Jour. A little a bit of a splurge at around $200! But hey some things are worth investing sometimes especially your skin. It is not fragrance free, I smell a very light fragrance though which is not too bad.
Shiseido Benefiance WrinkleResist 24 Pure Retinol Eye Mask…what’s not to like, a total indulgent for the eyes.
