Exciting New Launch: Kiehl's BB Cream.

Kiehl's may be late to the game with the launch of their BB Cream, but they are late for a good reason. Kiehl's took over two years to formulate the new Skin Tone Correcting & Beautifying BB Cream and they got it right. I am really excited about this one and could not wait to share.

The new Kiehl's Skin Tone Correcting & Beautifying BB Cream is not only the best feeling BB cream I have tried, it is a true BB Cream. As in, this is not just a tinted moisturizer with a BB Cream label slapped onto it like many of the brands seem to do. It is formulated with amino acid-coated natural mineral pigments. It helps to conceal imperfections while working to correct skin discolorations over the long term. It also reduces the appearance of pores and fine lines, which is such a good thing. Not only that, it provides all-day hydration and broad-spectrum SPF 50 protection. That is unprecedented in a BB Cream, especially with one that is so lightweight and easy to wear.

Normally, I am sensitive to a lot of mineral formulas, but I have not had an issue with the Skin Tone Correcting & Beautifying BB Cream at all. I've been wearing it for over a week, and it was love at first swipe. I have been wearing it ever since. I am using the shade Medium, which is the darkest shade and it is darker than what I thought it would be. I am only wearing that shade because of all the self-tanning I have going on right now, but normally I would be Light, and maybe even Fair/Light in the winter. For the palest of skin tones, there is Fair.

Kiehl's Skin Tone Correcting & Beautifying BB Cream sells for $37.00 and is available wherever Kiehl's products are sold including online at kiehls.com.

Kiehl’s Skin Rescuer Stress-Minimizing Daily Hydrator.

Who isn't stressed these days. With 24/7, multi-tasking lifestyles expected, stress is just another part of it. We live with it and deal with it. But did you know that your skin shows signs of stress? It does. I am sure you have experienced this at one time or another. Skin can shows signs of immediate stress and overtime, it adds up and the result is not good. When I am stressed my skin gets red and blotchy. Over time, my skin takes on an appearance of being more red, uneven in tone and sallow. Hopefully my skin will not be showing any more signs of stress because I just started using a daily lotion that was created to reduce the effects of stress on the skin. Yes! It is like this lotion was made for me. Let me introduce you to Kiehl’s Skin Rescuer Stress-Minimizing Daily Hydrator.

This new lightweight daily lotion not only treats and protects the skin from its stress reaction, but with the help of the ingredients Mannose and Rosa Gallica, the formula limits the release of stress signals to the skin. This helps breaks the stress cycle, which is an inflammatory response in the skin.

As soon as I put Skin Rescuer on my skin, it feels better and looks better. The level of hydration is perfect. It is light enough to be worn before makeup, but hearty enough to hydrate my dry skin all day. Just one pump is all I need to completely cover my face and neck. It does take a few minutes to fully absorb and feel smooth to the touch, but it is so worth it. If your skin it extra dry, you can use this as a treatment, after your serum, but before your moisturizer.

Now, if I could just get rid of all the stress in my life in the first place... ha! At least I will look like I am stress-free.

Kiehl’s Skin Rescuer Stress-Minimizing Daily Hydrator is available now for $40.00 at all Kiehl's locations and online at kiehls.com.

Kiehl's Powerful Wrinkle Reducing Cream Collection.

Hey, if it is going to promise to reduce wrinkles, I am all over it. And I am totally all over this brand new trio of creams from Kiehl's - Powerful Wrinkle Reducing Cream, Powerful Wrinkle Reducing Eye Cream and Powerful Wrinkle Reducing Cream Broad Spectrum SPF30.

The Powerful Wrinkle Reducing Cream's were created to significantly improve elasticity, which in turn diminishes the look of fine lines, wrinkles and pores. The super smart Kiehl's chemists knew that to reduce wrinkles and address elasticity, they needed to focus on the skin's fiber network, which lives right beneath the skin's surface. The key ingredient is Copper, but also includes a mix of Calcium PCA and Apricot Kernel The formula works to reduce wrinkles, improve elasticity and protect the skin's moisture barrier to dramatically improve the skin's appearance.

I knew this cream was special when I simply rubbed a small amount of the Powerful Wrinkle Reducing Cream onto my hand. It instantly looked better. The cream itself is pretty thick, but sinks into skin quickly, while keeping it feeling hydrated. It really is comforting. I love that is pretty much scent free too. As I have used it every night over the past ten days, I have noticed my skin taking an overall better look. I am really hoping to see much needed improvement on my neck, as I have totally lost a lot of elasticity there. Time and more use will tell, and I will be sure to post an update.

To get the ultimate benefit, use the Powerful Wrinkle Reducing Cream Broad Spectrum SPF30 with the Powerful Wrinkle Reducing Eye Cream during the day, then again the Powerful Wrinkle Reducing Eye Cream and then the Powerful Wrinkle Reducing Cream at night.

The face creams retail for $52.00 each, with the eye cream costing $42.00. Shop at all Kiehl's locations, and online at kiehl's.com.
