Cleansing Water is Now in a Wipe
I know this may sound horrible coming from a licensed cosmetologist who also specializes in skin care, but I do not enjoy washing my face at night. The only result from that is embarrassing, “hard to get rid” of acne. After discovering Koh Gen Do Cleansing Spa Water wipes I can remove my makeup in one swipe. Cleansing Spa Water wipes are oil and alcohol free and is infused with 6 essential herbs to protect the skin.
They are made with the thermal water from the Yumura Hot Springs in Izumo, Japan. I have used many different kinds of makeup wipes that say they are infused with such and such things and I end up not being satisfied or breaking out in a horrible rash.
With Koh Gen Do Cleansing Spa Water wipes I have not had any problems. They nurih my skin and remove all traces of makeup from my skin to my eyes. Koh Gen Do Cleansing Wipes can be found at your local Sephora stores or online at www.sephora.com

Shop at CVS where Generic is Better
I recently tried the CVS facial cleansing power brush and the oil free acne scrub. They are both compared to name brands of Olay and Neutrogena and I couldn’t tell any difference between them. They are much cheaper and work just as well. I use the facial scrub and power brush together and I noticed it reduced the oil on my skin, and the brush made my skin feel so smooth.
The oil free acne scrub has a great smell of pink grapefruit, and as you can tell in my picture I was a little excited to use it before I took the picture!! They are both gentle enough to use every day. The power brush already comes with two brushes and two AA batteries. Is not harsh, but gentle on my skin to remove the excess makeup and dirt after a full day. The oil free acne scrub really goes along good with this. The power brush is only $20 which I think is a great deal compared to Olay’s brush which sells for about $30. Since this brush is water resistant, I always use it in the shower to make it much easier. I would definitely recommend these two if you’re looking for an effective way to refresh your skin!

Elegant Gifts and Exquisite Skincare from MIYU BEAUTY
I love gifting skincare. Many of my friends do not have the time to pamper themselves, therefore, they need a little extra help. I found some exquisite skincare from MIYU Beauty which will make perfect gifts. This elegantly packaged set is called HYDRATE MI PAIRING and is described as “a pairing of beauty essence and tea to hydrate from the inside out.”
This particular set is quite unique and it immediately captured my interest. HYDRATE MI PAIRING consists of HYDRATE MI Beauty Essence (facial mist) and a light and fruity tea blend (16 sachets tea), both complimenting each other. A beauty mist along side a nourishing tea blend, I think that is quite unique, don’t you?
HYDRATE MI Beauty Essence, as well as the tea are both rich in nutrients and provide instant hydration to your skin. Simply close your eyes and mist onto your face. Lightly massage into your skin before moisturizing. The mist provides a refreshing feeling, especially on a warm morning or after a hot shower. HYDRATE MI Beauty Essence contains wild pansies effectively boosting hydration by 20% in 28 days. “Sodium hyaluronate binds up to 1000x its own water weight, attracting much needed water to the skin. Signs of thirsty skin disappear, leaving skin dew-kissed”.
A hot cup of tea really hits the spot now that the cold weather is upon us. This tea is fabulous and it is not only tasty but nutritious as well. The tea has a light and delicate fruity flavor made from green rooibos, goji berries which deliver a healthy dose of Vitamin C, necessary for collagen production. The rose petals and snow pear essence make the aroma magical. This is the perfect hot drink if you do not drink enough water, drink too many caffeinated beverages, travel frequently, live in dry climates or just naturally have dry skin. HYDRATE MI PAIRING offers an irresistible way to hydrate your skin and body.
HYDRATE MI PAIRING will make the perfect gift for someone who you know needs extra pampering. The packaging is elegant with the tea is enclosed in a cute little drawstring bag which you can use for all sorts of things afterwards.

The Lavender Experience With L’Occitane Eau De Cologne
I had never found a fragrance that was so inviting and comfortable until I tried L’Occitane en Provence’s Lavande de Haute-Provence Eaude Cologne. It captures an appealing freshness of aroma, the combination of ripe fruits, floral, and woody musk notes which play together! L’Occitane en Provence Lavande de Haute-Provence Eau de Cologne is an unsex scent which is so surprisingly sophisticated with the light, breezy scent of lavender. The scent of lavender is known to relieve stress, uplift your mood and calm your senses. Although it is known for being relaxing, it also has something rejuvenating about it. It is different from the original lavender perfume, but every bit as lovely. There is no obvious essential oil smell with this perfume, only the soothing, rich lavender scent. This radiant, longevity scent makes it so easy to wear, lifting up your spirits with confidence and happy expectations. It is an escape to a dreamy, perfect, blissful day.
I love the fact that it comes in huge bottle which is an invitation to splash it generously all over my body! I enjoy spritzing it on my bed sheets, pillows, bath towels, and my closet full of clothes. I also, add a few drops to my bath water for a soothingly Zen and Provencal atmosphere. The aroma of L’Occitane en Provence Lavande de Haute-Provence Eaude Cologne makes my thoughts wander of fields and fields of amazing, gorgeous, wild purple lavender stalks swaying in the winds of South France, smelling herbal but slightly flowery at the same time. You will love and enjoy this fragrance when you want to wear something simple, fresh, and timeless! L’Occitane en Provence Lavande de Haute-Provence Eaude Cologne is available at L’Occitane boutiques, online stores, and www.loccitane.com. It retails for $52.00 for 10.1 fl.oz.
