This post is for my sis Carol, who suggested we name our fave beauty products or tips. So here are mine:
1.Moisturize, moisturize....uh, moisturize!
doesn't matter what it is, or how much it costs, but i slather it on at least once a day, esp. since the dry heat in the house, makes my skin feel tight and horribly dry. I'm thinking of getting a humidifier to put next to my bed.
2. Lip Balm. Vaseline is my fave - always found in my bathroom, bedside table and purse. I am sooo addicted - it is my lip saviour.
3. Cleanse. Garnier Soft Foaming Cleansing Cream for Dry and sensitive skin.
I wash my face with this in the shower and it smells nice, and makes my skin feel refreshed and sooo soft. I also exfoliate with Yves Rocher pure calmille exfoliant once a week.
4. Water and Sleep. I don't know if this makes alot of difference, and it goes without saying, but drink lots of water, since the skin is about 80% water and a good night's rest is supposedly good for your skin.
5. SPF - whether it is January or August, protect your skin, if you don't want to look like a leather purse when your older.

The Hand and Foot Relief a must in the winter
The Caribbean Bath Soak (AHHHHH)

The Blue Oil is so wonderful for a sore neck and back
Burt's Bees has the best lip balm
(and vasaline too is a close second)
MAC is the best for make up (especially for lips and cheeks)
Vitamin E cream is good all over too
I drink lots and lots and lots of water (my fav drink)
Also eat right, exercise and get your zzzzzzzz's, perfect for a healthy glow!
Also good products I've tried:

Opps, I spelled Kiehl's wrong
What a great store to visit when in the big apple!

Vita-K works!!! You can get it at Walgreens or CVS or Osco drugs in the US southwest. I used it for some little veins I saw coming up on the outside top side of my leg. It freaked me out and they went away with this....Or just drink a lot of expensive Liquieur and don't look at your face or skin at all.. That works too.
pamper pamper pamper yourself girls! We deserve it!

all good suggestions from Carol and Vanessa!
and i do love L'Occitanne as well
and Vit K for my eyes, although the bottle says it helps lighten dark circles, and I've used it for nearly 6 months and have'nt noticed any difference. But I do reccommend it to moisturize the eye area.
Expensive liqueur might work if we did'nt have mirrors, lol!
Oh, and i love Aveda... Carol you Avedagirl you... i looking forward to trying the Rosemary mint lotion!
Well, I mostly take my beauty products tips from C so here it goes.
1. At the moment, I'm using lots of Aveda products too. I like the All sensitive facial moisturizer very much so, the hand relief (a must in winter, my hands are so dry and I have cuts (not so pretty!). The blue oil is so soothing on my neck (yes, I have a pain in the neck!)
2. My mom bought me the Burt's Bees lip shimmer and I absolutely love it. I have the watermelon tint but will definitely try all other colours.
3. About 20 years ago, I lived with P and C and we use to do facials with a camomile tea bag in boiling water in a bowl, put a towel over our heads and just relax. I tried it last week and it feels so good. I will try to do it more often but is hard to find the time.
4. Don't know
5. Well, I guess that's it!
Nat, you should treat yourself to your camomile facial steam once a week, it only takes 5 minutes, and hubby can watch the munchkins for 5 minutes. Remember to apply facial cream while skin is still damp for a boost.
Yes, a nice steam once a week sounds like a plan, I want to get back to doing that, it's so relaxing.
Nat, don't you just love the blue oil!
