La Roche-Posay Eye Cream and Anti-Redness Moisturizer

NEW Products from La Roche-Posay: Hydraphase UV Eyes Hydrating Protecting Eye Cream with SPF 29 and Rosaliac UV Fortifying Anti-Redness Moisturizer with SPF 15.

Did you know that the skin around the eyes is thinner than anywhere else on the body – about ten times thinner than the skin on the rest of the face – and is therefore more susceptible to damage

St. Ives Q&A with Dr. Marsha Gordon

Expert Skincare Tips: St. Ives Q&A with Dr. Marsha Gordon

As the weather gets warmer, my breakouts and irritation become worse. To keep my skin acne-free all year round, should I be adjusting my regimen as the seasons change?

While many women need to adjust their skin care regimen as the seasons change, this can be especially true for women with acne-prone or oily skin. Your regimen that worked in the winter may leave skin feeling oily and clogged during the warmer months. In the spring, I recommend switching to a light, oil-free moisturizer and using a cleanser and scrub to help remove dead skin cells and keep pores clear. I personally like the new St. Ives Naturally Clear Green Tea Cleanser and Scrub (image above), which contain a safe concentration of Salicylic Acid to effectively fight blemishes and reduce redness, while 100% natural Green Tea soothes skin.

Orlane Anagenese 25+ Morning Recovery Concentrate

I’m a sucker to skin care products that ‘wake my skin up’. I’m all about feeling rejuvenated and invigorated, especially in the morning. Lately I’ve been using the NEW Orlane Anagenese 25+ Morning Recovery Concentrate to get that re-gained radiance and glow effect. It is a very light and clear serum and feels like fresh water on my skin. Very gentle and soothing.

The star ingredients in Orlane’s Anagenese 25+ Morning Recovery Concentrate are a combination of pro cellular growth factors and specific peptide, Hibiscus seed extract, and Ginseng extract. All designed to activate the production of collagen and the synthesis of hyaluronic acid, entourages cell renewal and stimulates micro circulation.

I used my makeup artist’s perspective to create this simple 5-step regimen: It includes skincare to give you brighter, smoother and clearer skin over time—and treatment makeup to give you a beautiful, even complexion instantly.”– Bobbi Brown

Clean & Clear Shine Control Facial Scrub with Lemongrass & Fruit Extracts

The Clean & Clear Shine Control Facial Scrub with Lemongrass & Fruit Extracts saved my after flight tired face on my recent trip to New York city. GOOD. This face scrub feels incredibly invigorating in the morning, or really anytime. The scent is very relaxing. It is gentle enough to use every day (works for me!). Although it’s a scrub the exfoliating beads are not coarse, or as I call it ‘aggressive’. It’s a cross between a face scrub and a face wash. And you can get it at your local drug store without spending an arm and a leg.

Neutrogene Ultra Sheer Liquid

It’s been sunny in New York City recently and Spring is in the air everywhere. That means more time in the sun. I just discovered Neutrogena Ultra Sheer liquid daily sunblock to use under my makeup. The magic word here is liquid. It dispenses as a white cream that very easily turns into a spreadable liquid on the skin. No need to rub vigorously anymore and it doesn’t leave a white residue (sounds familiar?) You hardly feel it on your face it is so light. I applied it this morning after my serum and before my foundation.

Did you know that this sunblock is actually designed to leave a matte finish on your skin after you apply? Brilliant. The Neutrogena Ultra Sheer liquid daily sunblock comes in SPF 55 and SPF 70. BTW Neutrogena Ultra Sheer is small enough to fit in any makeup bag. No excuse not wearing sunscreen anymore. Finally a sunblock that is not working against us:)

RoC Multi-Correxion Exfoliating Cleanser

RoC Multi-Correxion Exfoliating Cleanser is my favorite face cleanser these days. It’s a cross between a cleanser and a very gentle face scrub, this is why I use it almost everyday. It cleans my skin thoroughly and it prepares it for the face cream right after my shower. I also love the RoC Multi-Correxion Daily Perfecting Cleanser for the same reason mentioned above. The latter is part of the RoC Multi Correxion Skin Perfecting System.
