Ayur Medic Retinol Cream and Enrichment Cream


I love this pair. The line was created by Dr. Raj Kanodia- a plastic surgeon in Los Angeles. The day cream is pretty basic but it didnt make me break out at all. The retinol cream is also pretty great and left my skin feeling soft in the morning. I think night time creams are pretty important because your skin heals itself while you sleep. This one says that it's for resurfacing and blemish control and I feel like it did exactly that.

Intelligent Nutrients Anti-Aging Serum


This is a face oil thats meant for every skin type. It feels great and absorbs really well in the winter. I was using it as a serum at night until I got a pimple. I'm not 100% if it was this product that was to blame but I'm pretty sure it was. Now I only use it sparingly on top of another lotion or just on my neck.

The best part of this product is that it's totally organic and food grade! All the ingredients are plant oils. I've been hearing lately that you should only put on your face what you would put into your mouth. I love this idea of "feeding" your skin!

Avene Thermal Spring Water


This spray is pretty useful year-round. In the summer when it's super hot, I like to spray it on at the end of the day and then wipe the dirt off my face. It's like a mini face wash. Or it can just feel refreshing whenever...

This winter, my skin got really dry when the weather started transitioning from fall to winter. I was also using retin-a for a few days during that time so my skin was kinda flaking during the day. So I keep a bottle at work and it was a skin saver. The mist is also so fine that your face isn't dripping wet after a spray. My only complaint is that the nozzle broke on one of my bottles so i ended up making a hole in it and watering my plants with it.

Toleraine Ultra Intense Soothing Care


This is a great basic moisturizer for the winter in LA. I dont break out and my skin never feels dry. It's also great because it has no parabens, fragrance or alcohol. I love the way that it's packaged too. It's never exposed to air because the lotion is in a plastic bag within the bottle.


That's my major qualm with $150 eye creams that come in a jar: every time you open the jar, the cream is exposed to air!
