products c/o Perricone MD; Travel Booster / Daily Brightening Moisturizer / Shower Mask / The Fixer Solid Oil

Whether I am traveling by airplane, or going on a family road trip, my skin takes a beating. It is so important to have the right skin care in my suitcase to get me though the trip without my skin totally freaking out! Thankfully, Perricone MD has a few fabulous skin care products which are simple to use, and TSA approved. Love that!

Perricone MD Travel Booster: This fabulous little supplement offers ten types of organic mushrooms found in different parts of the world. They have been chosen due to their ability to increase immunity and circulation; which we all need after being cooped up in a car or plane! The Travel Booster helps you look and feel fabulous from the inside out. Love that!

Perricone MD Daily Brightening Moisturizer: This is a lightweight moisturizer which offers SPF 30 while hydrating and minimizing lines. I love how it keeps my skin from drying out; because we all know how airplane air can wreak havoc on our otherwise moisturized skin! Ugh! This is a lifesaver!

Perricone MD Shower Mask: Who has time to do a full mask routine while traveling? Not me! That’s why I love this shower mask by Perricone MD. It is designed to be used in the shower. So, while you are soaping up your hair, or shaving your legs, your mask can work on your face. Now THAT, is multi-tasking! Love it!

Perricone MD Fixer Solid Oil: This is perfect for rough and/or dry patches of skin. It works overtime to fix dry skin, and it is great for dabbing on eyebrows to keep them in place. It works double duty! haha

These are great products for simple skin care while traveling. You can find them online here.

Colleen Rothschild Retinol Supreme Night Oil review

Fall is here! This means it is time to start getting cozy and comfy before heading upstairs for some beauty sleep. I always end my evenings with a warm cup of tea, cozied up in fuzzy slippers, and with my nighttime beauty routine in check.

Before Colleen Rothschild sent me her fabulous new Retinol Supreme Night Oil, I was using a thick night cream on my face after washing it at the end of the day. Since my skin is prone to acne, using a heavy cream at night is considered “living on the edge.” Seriously, can we say “encouraging a break-out!?”

Colleen Rothschild’s new Retinol Supreme Night Oil is the perfect solution for my skin; it’s so lightweight! After I wash my face, I can apply a few drops of it to my face and neck; and voila! My skin enjoys “stabilized retinol” overnight which encourages healthy skin renewal. In addition to the benefits of retinol on skin renewal, this product has vitamin C which helps combat environmental toxins on the skin. There are also nine plant based essential oils in Colleen Rothschild’s Retinol Supreme Night Oil which help replenish moisture in the skin, as well as help to prevent skin irritation. Love that!

The fall season is the perfect time to use a retinol based  product for skin renewal. When using retinol, skin becomes more sensitive to UVA and UVB rays, so wearing suncreen when heading outside is a must. Since there is less time in the sun during the fall season, this helps lessen sun exposure.

Autumn is the perfect time to rejuvenate after a summer spent in the sun. It is also a great time to enjoy the cooler weather, and cozy up with some warm tea and fuzzy slippers while our skin is replenished overnight!

L’Oreal Pure Clay cleansers and a new mask

loreal pure clay collection review

L’Oreal has added to their Pure Clay Collection! There are three new, clay based cleansers as well as a new mask made from Kaolite, Montmorillonite, Ghassoul, and Seaweed. Love!

The L’Oreal Pure Clay cleansers compliment the three original clay masks introduced by L’Oreal last summer. The cleansers are a great way to enhance the benefits reaped by using the L’Oreal clay masks. They clear up skin, leaving pores clear. They are almost like a mini-facial!

These Pure Clay cleansers by L’Oreal are great to use daily; while I recommend using the matching mask once per week. I usually do my mask on Sunday evenings. My favorite from the collection is the Charcoal Pure Clay cleanser. It really keeps my pores clean; and does a great job removing dirt and impurities.

There is a new mask in town! L’Oreal has added a new mask to their Pure Clay Collection. This blue clay mask combines Kaolinite, Montmorillonite, Ghassoul, and seaweed to create a gentle mask aptly named the “Clear & Comfort Mask.”

This is a gentle mask which is great for soothing skin that might be irritated from the elements, makeup, or bad products. I love using it on a Sunday evening when my skin has had a lot of sun exposure and my SPF failed me a bit; yes, this means when I have a slight sunburn. haha

If you loved the first three Pure Clay masks by L’Oreal, you will love the new Seaweed mask! I hope L’Oreal comes out with a matching Pure Clay cleanser for the seaweed soon!
