So you’ve been asking about my morning skincare routine. And asking. It’s time for me to deliver. So here’s what I use on my skin in the MORNING. Now. I can’t lie. The evening is when the real magic happens in terms of products. Or maybe not. I think there are equal parts of pixie dust in both the morning and the evening.
I started noticing that my eye area was changing when I was in my late 30’s-especially the appearance of fine lines, which REALLY bothered me. I had never investigated eye creams specifically, and knew that I probably should’ve been using one (or three) but didn’t bother, assuming that since my skincare was great, that my eyes would absorb the product I was using on my face and everything would be dandy. Well, I was wrong about that-hence this blog post. Please see my picks for the Best Eye Creams for Wrinkles.
What are your favorite or best eye creams? Found anything that really works for you that you’d care to share? Leave your recommendations in the comments below!

These are just some of my best eye creams for wrinkles. Let me know if you’ve tried any of them or have any others you’d like to recommend.
Asian skin care-it’s not a new trend.
Because I’m all about the pre-cleanse. Dermalogica introduced me to this and I’ve been hooked ever since. My quandry with cleansing oils is that I want to find one that works well for a decent price (um shu umera you are OUT of the running).
So I’m happy to say I have found a GREAT oil for a decent price. My wallet is loving me these days.
Vichy cleansing beauty oil contains the benefits of an oil and a cleansing milk in one step. It contains micellar technology to gently remove makeup and impurities and cameilia oil to improve softness, radiance and smoothness.
-contains soothing and fortifying Vichy Thermal Spa Water
-Paraben free
-Tested on sensitive skin
And it does a GREAT job on removing my waterproof mascara and eye makeup-this is one pass, holding the cotton round on each eye for 10 seconds.
Overall, I recommend this cleansing oil as a first step to your night time skin care routine. It will dissolve the dirt and impurities and allow your products to work better-what’s not to love?
Have you tried any cleansing oils? What’s your favorite and why?
When I hear about the brand fresh what immediately springs to mind is the fresh lip scrubs and lip tints (of which I have several and gift them on the regular). I know so many people that have at least 1 of these in their purse, bag, jean pocket, or hand. I never associated the brand with skincare. After doing a bit of ‘investigation’ with my bestie Google….. the brand has so much history-and surprisingly their skincare was developed BEFORE my beloved lip products.
I’m really into my skin….and I take my skincare seriously. I have a fairly “involved” daily routine but absolutely love indulging in a luxurious mask or giving myself a nice scrub. Especially when the products are natural, and smell amazing. Take a look:
Sugar Face Polish: A nourishing exfoliant made with pure brown sugar and strawberry seeds that refines and hydrates for a more radiant complexion.
Rose Face Mask: A unique gel formula infused with real rose petals and pure rosewater that hydrates and tones the complexion.
Black Tea Instant Perfecting Mask: A hydrating treatment that immediately reveals softer, firmer, healthier-looking skin.
*bonus*-here’s my “recipe” to prevent the dreaded “Madonna Hands Syndrome” (notice she is ALWAYS wearing gloves lately? It’s to hide the aging).
The verdict?
Love love LOVE these products.
Love that they are natural and good for my skin
Love that they smell amazing
Love that they work and give me skin that is soft and dewy.
Give these a try-they’re worth the splurge! Find fresh:

Anyone else loving the new products out from the drugstore besides me? I feel like drugstore brands have really stepped up to the plate and brought their A game. I find myself reaching for more drugstore products than high end lately…..which I’m surprised about. My wallet is thanking me though!
Let me know if you’ve tried any of my current favorites in the comments below. I’d love to hear your experiences with them.
I usually abide by the adage “You get what you pay for.” Sometimes all the bells and whistles can’t make up for simply average service. If that doesn’t set the tone for the rest of this post, I don’t know what will.
ho·me·o·sta·sis (hm–stss)
n.The ability or tendency of an organism or cell to maintain internal equilibrium by adjusting its physiological processes.
Homeostasis- I don’t delve into science much on my blog-I only have a mild interest and lack the ‘expertise’ and knowledge. *Please note for all you rocket scientists reading this blog (or biologists, or chemists, or any kind of –ist that you are), I am using the definition rather loosely and including a broad spectrum of ‘processes.’ * There. Just needed to note that.
