Suave Moroccan Argan Styling Oil



I am absolutely loving this Moroccan Argan Styling Oil by Suave.  I picked it up on a whim at Target the other week and I've been using it nonstop!  It makes my hair so silky smooth and doesn't weigh it down.  It has a pleasant, light scent that I don't mind.  I'm not sure how this compares to the original Moroccan Oil but at only 6 bucks or less, you can't beat it!

Skinceuticals Micro-Exfoliating Scrub



As you can tell, I am a huge fan of the Skinceuticals line.  And this is yet another one of their great products.  This is a gentle, yet effective scrub that I use two times per week.  It is extremely important to exfoliate (even in winter months) to polish away dead skin cells.  You will have fresher looking skin!  However, you want to be sure you are using a scrub that has small "beads" so it isn't too abrasive for your face. 

This product is designed for combination/oily skin but it is so gentle that I think it would be just fine for normal and dry skin types.  You can find this product at a high end spa or online for $30.00.

Clarins Lotus Oil



I am in LOVE with this face oil!  You may wonder, why on Earth would you add oil to an already oily face or why would I want to make my face oily when really, this magical oil potion does the exact opposite.  This oil helps balance your skin.  I was very skeptical to try this, especially when it was the middle of the summer in South Carolina.  But, I did.  And, I fell in love after one use.  My skin felt so hydrated and when I woke up in the morning, I had a nice glow.  Don't worry, this won't break you out, it's filled with only pure, natural oils and is preservative-free. 

I think you will start to see that face oils will become "all the rage" soon.  I've already seen some start to pop up here and there.  This Clarins oil has been around for awhile though.  I really trust this brand because they seem to use mostly natural ingredients.  Oh, and I almost forgot to mention, the scent of this oil is delicious!  It's aromatherapy for your face. 

I use this Lotus treatment oil but there are two other oils: one for normal/dry and one for extra dry.  I would highly suggest checking these magical potions out.  You can find them at any department store that carries Clarins products or at www.clarinsusa.com or at an Ulta or Sephora store.  It is $50.00 for a bottle and you only need a drop or two each night so it will last a long time.

Skinceuticals Simply Clean Cleanser



I absolutely love this cleanser!  It has a hydroxy-acid blend to help exfoliate the skin but also contains botanical extracts to help smooth out rough texture.  I've always told my friends that you didn't need to spend a lot of money on a cleanser but then I had a hard time finding a drugstore brand cleanser that would work for my combination skin.  They either dried my skin out to where it was peeling off or they were too gently and wouldn't unclog my pores.  Until I found this beauty!  I find that it helps unclog my pores while not stripping away my skin's natural oils.  And, I'm not super shiny at 3pm, like I used to be. 

This is a great product for the warmer months.  You can find this at spas or online.  It is $34.00 for a pretty decent size bottle and I have to say, it's lasted me awhile.
