Sun Protection is Vital, Kiehl’s All-Sport Year Round sun block is available in different strengths and applications. 

Choose from lotions or sprays and don’t forget those lips.

Protection for active adults, this stuff will stay on through your daily activity.  

A lightweight, moisturizing formula, contains Vitamin E and Aloe while providing UVA AND UVB protection.  Oh yeah, and did I forget to mention it stays on while in water?!  protecting you and your loved ones in water up to 80 minutes.

It’s great, it takes a little while to work in but once it’s there it gives your skin a little sheen.

The Grades Are In

I must admit my usually method of getting Vitamin C is through a tall glass of OJ no ice.  I just love the taste and it’s supposed to be good for me, so they say but we all know what’s behind all those calories! I’ll just lose all that extra sugar and use Nutra Luxe MD’s Vitamin C Plus moisturizer.   

The creator, Dr. Hawrych, is a plastic surgeon, and uses a micro-encapsulation process to stabilize and protect the active ingredient, L-ascorbic acid. Unlike some other brands that shall remain nameless at this time, this product boasts a 2 year shelf-life!  It’s Anti-Aging Skincare at it’s finest.

If you think all Vitamin C is created equal, I need to call your attention to the differences.   Take note that the “Vitamin C offered in other skin care products is either Vitamin C esther or L-ascorbic PALMITATE, which are fatty acids the body does NOT recognize and therefore does NOT ABSORB.”  So be sure to spend your money on the stuff that will work.

Nutra Luxe Vitamin C Plus glides onto skin but does have a slightly-sticky feel to it which took some getting used to.  My mother was visiting while testing this product and was using it as well.  I could really see the difference on her and just wish I’d taken some before and after.  She is always in the sun and has a lot of hyperpigmentation but I saw a great improvement after the 10 days she used this serum. 

If you’re looking to repair damage due to sunburn and skin discolorations Nutra Luxe MD Vitamin C Plus would be a good product to try.  It is priced @ $90

CEW Product Review: bring on the hands

I know I have a problem when it comes to hands.  Hands are the most beautiful part of the body to me.  Most people have heard of foot fetishes but why don’t hand fetishes get more attention?!

Size of hands and nail length don’t matter to me.  What I do care about are, a clean looking manicure and moisturized skin.

There are so many things women can do to look young in the face and body but the hands are a telltale sign of aging.  ROC Retinol Correxion Hand Repair Cream with SPF 15 claims it can work within the skin’s layers to reduce the visible signs of aging. 

ROC Retinol cream can even out skin tone and even out pigmentation spots that will make your hands look younger with daily use.

Your hands will also be protected from future damage with the UVA/UVB Sunscreen protectant.  I haven’t seen any visible results in the short time I’ve been using it, so I can’t vouch for the effectiveness of this product, but I can tell you that is smells delightful, glides onto my skin and doesn’t feel greasy.  Only time will tell if it is effective since I’m using this for preventative measures…
