Product:  L’Oreal Paris Skin Genesis, Oil-Free Lotion

L’Oreal Skin Genesis is coming up on it’s 1 year anniversary!  Skin Genesis first made it’s debut on local shelves in August 2007.  The premise of the lotion is to take care of all the strength of each layer of the skin.  As we age, skin weakens which causes it to be rough and uneven. 

Take advantage of the power of L’Oreals Green Chemistry and their Patented Pro-Xylane ingredient which is extracted from the beech wood plant.  Green Chemistry refers to the manufacturing process, an earth friendly bio-degradable and bio-assimilable (note to self: look up bio-assimilable!) solution to creating products of beauty.

The goal of Skin Genesis is to strengthen the upper layers of the skin, creating smoother skin and even skin tone.  I’ve been using the Lotion and I can tell you it’s great.  I love the pump bottle that keeps the last drop as fresh and potent as the first as well as the shape of the bottle that looks like a track baton.

I also love how accessible L’Oreal products are, available in your local stores as well as online.  The only problem is it’s not cheap, I usually don’t  discuss price values but I think this product is within reach of many women’s budget.  L’Oreal Skin Genesis is a great line and a way to indulgence yourself that is good for you.  Very light, fresh scent.

Use with L’Oreal Skin Genesis Daily Treatment Serum Concentrate (review coming soon) for best results.

It’s easy to take care of your skin if you do it in layers.  My first step out of the shower has been to slather Aveeno Active Naturals Daily Moisturizing Lotion with Sunscreen.  My next layer has been Aveeno Sunblock Spray SPF 45 because we’ve been outdoors so much.

Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Lotion protects your skin from uva and uvb.  It feels great and totally non-greasy with natural colloidal oatmeal and ACTIVE PHOTOBARRIER COMPLEX™.  No added fragrance.

 Retinol this and retinol that, you hear it all the time but are all retinol products the same?  Here are the things to look for…

Retinol products that contain Vitamin A

Opaque/ air-tight packaging

Look for a formula with SPF 30 for daytime use

For deep winkles, look for Retinol with Essential Mineral Complex 

Be sure to build up your Retinol use, gradually and train your skin.  This gradual build up will lessen the chance of irritation that can result in red or flaky skin.  Lucky for us there’s a new product on the market that has all this:  ”The RETINOL CORREXION® DEEP WRINKLE DAILY MOISTURIZER with SPF 30 from RoC® is clinically shown to visibly reduce the appearance of expression lines and deep wrinkles after 8 weeks of use!” 

I loved the ROC hand correxion I used a while ago, so I’m sure I’ll love this too!

I am completely addicted to this video, Daily Beauty Rituals (1937), I’ve watched it at least 100 times in the last few weeks and now I’d like to share it with all of you that may be unfamiliar with it.  Constance Bennett takes us through her morning routine, just like looking in the mirror for me… HA
