Your Best Skin: clickR Skin Care - The Ultimate Weapon Against Acne.

There is a new (new to me, anyway) skin care line in town, and I noticed it as soon as it hit Sephora. It is called clickR Skin Care, and it is a line created by a cosmetic chemist to help his son's issues with acne. While at first it may appear that this is a boys only line, look again. If you have a problem with break outs, this blemish banning line is for you - no matter what your gender.

My oldest son Justin, put two of the products to the test. He deals with small break outs right at his hair line along the top of his forehead. They naturally go away when he stops wearing baseball hats, but as hats are basically a part of his wardrobe, he needed a little help.

Justin used the Daily Dermabrasion Wash every day, in the morning and spot treated with Acne Spot Treatment, as needed, on the pesky pimples.


He said he really likes the wash, as it made his skin feel more clean than ever before, and swears it made his pimples look less red. He used the spot serum after his shower, and a few times during the day when he remembered to. Justin said that while sometimes it felt a little tingly after applying the serum, he thinks it helps to dry up the area quicker than if he were to do nothing.

clickR's formulations are so cleverly conceived that they're highly effective for all skin types, even sensitive skin. All of the products are free os Parabens, Sulfates, Synthetic Fragrances, Petrochemicals, Phthalates, are never tested on animals and are completely vegan.

clickR Skin Care Daily Dermabrasion Wash sells for $27.00, and clickR Acne Spot Treatment sells for $20.00. Check out clickR's products at select Sephora stores and online at Sephora.com.

Your Best Skin: A Citrus Cocktail.

A Citrus Cocktail that improves skin tone? Yes, please!

By combining concentrated extracts of orange, lemon, lime and pomegranate, this powerful, yet gentle, exfoliation treatment is applied daily as a serum. Yes. As a serum.

Beverly Hills Skincare Decade Peel Exfoliating Serum is a gentle slow peel, if you will, that exfoliates over time, as you apply it every day.

This serum utilizes naturally occurring AHAs in fruits like oranges and lemon to increase the rate of cell renewal, while the natural exfoliation power of Wild Lime helps lifts dull, dry skin. The Pomegranate, a key component in the bright skin complex, is potent antioxidant that soothes and calms skin inflammation and irritation.

After using this serum every day for the past two weeks, I can see an improvement already. My skin feels more smooth than normal, just after applying, as if I just did a more intensive treatment. I also notice a bit more lightening of my dark spots that I am constantly working on. I am sure these fruit acids are boosting my natural exfoliation as process, as it should and is aiding in their lightening.

Decade Peel Exfoliating Serum can be purchased online through the Beverly Hills Skincare site for $119.95.

 

M∙A∙C Future Face is Here!

M∙A∙C Future Face is Here! A new launch, this one is all about perfecting your skin, through the use of these new beauties.

It is a three-in-one force: Powder, Foundation and Tinted Moisturizer all together.

First, new Studio Careblend Pressed Powders blur the line between skincare and makeup, with a pressed texture that beautifies as it benefits.

I believe the secret to this is not only the powder, but the puff as well. I love applying it all over my face after I am finished with my makeup for a total air brushed look. The light shade is so perfect for me, that I also blend it on down over my neck to soften the appearance of my wrinkles that are unfortunately apparent now-a-days. I apply it lightly, as I said, but it can be used on its own for a sheer to medium, smooth, even coverage for a flawlessly soft and even tone with caring, comforting properties.

Also part of this launch is an extended range of shades for Studio Fix Fluid and Studio Moisture Tint SPF 15. These new shade extensions fill in all the gaps for a more broad, all-inclusive shade range.
