New Skin Products I Love





Cetaphil facial cleanser- I've been using the same facial cleanser for years and I wanted to try something new. I saw this directly next to the Clean & Clear that I usually get and decided why not give this a try. Not only was the price a couple cents cheaper but it also had more product. It has everything that I look for in a face wash such as- "Removes makeup, dirt, and oil. No over drying skin. For normal to oily skin. Good for sensitive skin." SOLD. It's been a month now and I love this stuff. It has a very refreshing scent, removes my water proof eyeliner and mascara so easily, and doesn't feel so "soapy." The lathering is just right, not too foamy or too watery. My skin can also be a little sensitive when switching over cleansers but this transitioning went well and this was such a great find.

Clinique moisture surge- I haven't been wearing any moisturizer during the summer (because I feel like my sweat beads were good enough.) Now with the chilly weather rolling in I need to protect my skin and prevent any flaky dryness. I've had this moisturizer since the beginning of the year but never needed it up until now. I'm not sure if it's because my skin was in dire need of a moisturizer, but my face and neck absorbs this cream so quickly! The formula is so light and doesn't carry a strong scent which is another plus. I apply this before i go to bed and by the time my head hits the pillow my face doesn't have that heavy, moist, creamy feeling that I'm always afraid will rub off onto my pillow. When I wake up my skin looks so refreshed and dewy. This is my favorite winter go-to moisturizer.

Nu Skin Sunbright SPF- Nu Skin is a makeup/skin care line that is only available through their website or ordering through a sales consultant (a similar process such as Mary Kay and Avon.) If it's one thing I absolutely cannot be without it would be sun block. Living in a state where the sun is out year round this is a vital part of my skin care regimen. This 30 spf sunblock is on of my favorites and I wound up buying 2 more bottles just in case they were to change the formula or discontinue them or something. Even though this can be used for the body I only apply it to my face, neck and hands. I like how there's hardly any scent to it and doesn't leave any white streaky residue like some others. The sunblock consistency is more like a lotion and absorbs well into my skin. Being that there's no oily look to it I like to use this a primer for my tranlucent face powders. It really helps keep my makeup up in place will blocking all those harmful UV rays. Double win.
