Himalaya Botanique Toothpaste

I have used about 4 tubes of this toothpaste and recently noticed that my teeth are not sensitive anymore.  This toothpaste feels like it's actually good for you. It has a lot of natural ingredients and all that but the amazing thing is that I totally notice a difference.

Darphin Aromatic Purifying Balm

This is another product for dry LA winters- especially the month of November. It comes in a tiny little jar so it'll probably only last me one winter. The instructions say to use about 3 times a week. I put it on at night and in the morning my skin still feels hydrated. It's nice but I also use a face oil and I think they kinda do the same thing except that the Darphin is about 10 times as expensive as my homemade face oil.

UPDATE: I've been using it as a lip balm when it's really dry and I still like Caudalie better but this works too.

Avene Lotion Micellaire


I think loss of moisture is one of the major things you have to combat as you age. That is why I try not to wash my face anymore. I started using micellar lotion and Avene has a pretty good one. At night I swipe my face with it and it removes the dirt, makeup and oil without totally drying out my face.  In the morning, I rinse my face with water- mostly to get the sleep out of my eyes. 




Embryolisse Lait-Creme Concentre

I love going to pharmacies when I travel around Europe- especially French pharmacies. Embryolisse is the French cream everyone buys.  So I got one and I love it too!  It's hydrating, non-irritating and works well under my creme foundation.  It's not like I see a big difference but I'm just going by reputation that it works well since French women have been using it or decades. I'll see in 20 years I guess...

I like it for the winter but I think it should work well in the summer too. This winter has been so wacky that we're having summer conditions in February so I've been able to test it out for both seasons in LA.

Coola Classic Sunscreen SPF 30


This sunscreen comes in unscented and cucumber. I prefer the latter.  I've been using this in the winter but I think it's more of a lighter summer lotion.  It's thin and dewy. It's not a mineral sunscreen though it is organic. It's basic but I like it.
