Winter is finally coming to an end, and after months of harsh conditions, spring is here! With warm weather just around the corner, it’s time for skin to get a fresh start! Try the very best in face cleansers for smooth and moisturized skin this spring!
La Roche-Posay’s Physiological Cleansing Gel has a unique formula with a cooling effect for a refreshing, deep clean feel. The rinse-off gel efficiently cleanses the skin without causing dryness or irritation and is safe for all skin types.
I’ve been using this Cleansing Gel for the last couple week, and have paired it with the Micellar Solution.
Micelles – micro-encapsulate dirt on skin’s surface and lift it up without rubbing, thereby maintaining skin’s physiological balance. Optimal safety on sensitive skin with Poloxamer, a cleansing ingredient so mild it is used in contact lens solutions. Effective to remove impurities while respecting skin’s natural balance.
Description
Cleanses, tones and calms skin, while respecting its physiological balance.
Physiological Micellar Solution has won the following Awards:
2012 Allure Best of Beauty: Sensitive Skin
2011 Allure Best of Beauty: Sensitive Skin
These two together are absolutely AMAZING! My pores are almost non-existent anymore. It cleans, and tightens, and doesn’t dry out your skin! I’m in love, and you will be to! The products are both affordable ($20 or so each), and they will last you months! I’ve been using them for a couple weeks, and I’ve barely made a dent! Love it!
Kim Kardashian has taken her beauty routine to a whole new level! The reality star went to a crazy extreme to achieve good skin on Sunday’s episode of ‘Kourtney & Kim Take Miami’.
Taking her BFF Jonathan Cheban’s advice, the 32-year-old underwent a “blood facial.”
For the procedure, doctors draw blood from the arm, spin out the platelets, and then re-apply the blood to the skin via tiny needles.
For the out-there procedure, doctors draw blood from the arm, spin out the platelets and then apply the blood onto the via tiny needles. “I love trying anything that makes you look and feel youthful,” the now-pregnant Kim reasoned.
The experience may not have been worth it, however. “Oh my god! I will never get a facelift if it feels like that.” On Sunday, she tweeted a pic from the experience. “Look what @jonathancheban did to me!”
Here’s more from Huff Po:
The made-for-horror movie cosmetic procedure is gaining popularity in the U.S. because it’s an “organic alternative to those that require chemical injections,” according to Dr. Sam Lam, a double board-certified facial plastic surgeon based in Dallas, Texas.
“The patient’s own platelet rich plasma (PRP) is applied to the skin preceded by a laser treatment and followed by a micro-needling process in which the skin is perforated with near microscopic holes,” explains Dr. Lam. “The growth factors in the platelet rich plasma reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles while improving the skin’s tone and texture.”
On the latest episode of “Kourtney & Kim Take Miami,” she gives us an up-close view of the vampire facial. With her BFF Jonathan Cheban by her side, Kimmy can’t help but scream out over the agonizing buzzing of the laser: “Oww! That hurts so badly.”

How many of you ladies out there watch ‘Girls’? I have to admit I am obsessed with the show. I know it’s a bit out of my age range – the show definitely is for a different generation (girls born in the 90′s, not the 70′s, like me). But that doesn’t mean I enjoy it any less. One thing I will say with 100% certainty, is that I am SO HAPPY that I am NOT a single girl in NYC these days. It looks like hell, to me. Give me my sweats, suburbia, and a gorgeous husband that I love – any day!
Anyway, one of the girls of ‘Girls’ has just signed on with Simple Skincare. The gorgeous Allison Williams helps launch a new skincare line! “As a longtime fan of Simple skincare, I was so excited when they approached me about becoming their brand ambassador,” said Williams. “I love that their products keep my skin healthy-looking, without irritating it, because Simple is made for sensitive skin, like mine.”

Who doesn’t love Burt’s Bees??? Man, I love so many (if not all) of their products. A couple of weeks ago I got my hands on the Tips & Toes Kit below, and I totally fell in love with it. It has EVERYTHING you need to keep your lips, fingers and toes totally healthy this winter! One of my favorite products included is the Coconut Foot Creme. It smells heavenly, and feels even better!
Go nuts for incredibly soft feet.
How it Works
This pampering natural foot cream combines coconut oil, lanolin and vegetable glycerin to revive and rejuvenate even the driest, most neglected feet. There’s also a hint of natural rosemary and peppermint oils to refresh tired feet.
How to Use It
Apply liberally and allow the cream to fully absorb. For a luxurious way to treat your feet, soak feet in warm water for 10-15 minutes and rub gently with a pumice stone. Massage Coconut Foot Creme into feet, paying close attention to heels and calloused skin. Then cover your feet with cotton socks overnight to soothe and seal in moisture.
Featured Ingredient
Coconut Oil — The flesh of the coconut is rich in emollient fat and, when pressed, yields a white, sweetly-scented, super-moisturizing oil, which is a solid at room temperature but easily melts on the skin.
This amazing product can be bought on it’s own – or part of the awesome Tips & Toes Kit. This amazing collection of rich creams and softening butters will do the trick. Seriously softening and happily hydrating. Your fingers and toes will thank you.
• Softens skin with butters and rich creams
Contains:
Almond Milk Hand Creme (0.25 oz)
Hand Salve (0.3 oz)
Thoroughly Therapeutic Honey & Grapeseed Hand Creme (0.75 oz)
