SkinCeuticals Phloretin CF and SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic


I like to switch from one serum to the other. They both protect you from sun damage and I've read that the Phloretin also helps correct existing sun damage. According to EWG, the CE Ferulic rates a 3! That's pretty low on the toxicity scale. As my skin ages, I notice that using these products as the first layer helps keep the moisture in. These two serums are another product that I cant go without and so far I havent found anything better. I hear that La Mer has an amazing serum but it's like 150 dollars per ounce. Eeek!

Andalou Citrus Kombucha Cleansing Gel


This product is 73% organic, free of sulfates, petrochemicals, parabens ...etc. It's pretty all-natural and is aloe based. It's also pH balanced and hypoallergenic. It also contains kombucha enzymes and lots of antioxidants. It all seems lovely; however for a product that is on my skin for about 30 seconds twice a day, is my skin benefitting from all that good stuff? I'm not sure. It is a basic, gentle gel cleanser that i'm confident has nothing bad in it. My skin feels clean and soft when I use this and the smell is nice. Compared to the Mychelle cleansers, this line is way cheaper for a comparable or even better product. It was about 13 dollars for 6 ounces.

La Roche Posay - Anthelios SPF 50 Mineral Ultra Light Fluid


So I've been looking for a fluid, non-whitening mineral sunscreen that is cheaper than $40/ounce like the Clarins sunblock. I thought I had found it in this product. It promised to be non- whitening. However on my medium-colored complexion it cast a slight whitish tint. Perhaps on a lighter skin person it might not be a problem? Bummer...

Kate Somerville Exfolikate


This is definitely one of my basics that I keep buying over and over again. It's a great mask that leaves my face exfoliated and soft. It's an easy mask that you leave on your face for 30 seconds. I only use it at night though because it leaves my skin a little rosy and probably more vulnerable to the sun.
