Product Review: The Hand Cream from Facetheory

The Chirosmooth Hand Cream from Facetheory has quickly become a go-to in my collection. I have some tried & true must-haves but I was starting to run low and decided to try something new. Fun!

This hand cream contains:

Korean Rice 

Omega-6 rich Rice bran oil 

5% Urea

It definitely Softens & hydrates my Uber-dry, over washed hands!! Even after a few washes, my hands remain hydrated. It’s a keeper 💜

Like all Facetheory products, this rich hand cream contains a high concentration of actives so a very small amount goes a long way...

💜💜 Comment below with your fave hand cream.

Product Review: 10Balm from INdeed Labs

10Balm to the rescue!!

💙 A best-seller from Indeed Labs, this little healing cream is ideal for sensitive and/or irritated skin. Either the dry winter weather has taken its toll or maybe you (like me) went a little overboard with the Retinols, AHA’s, exfoliants, etc... and now your skin needs some TLC.

I grab this nourishing cream because it’s packed with powerful ingredients such as:

• Honey Extract
• Propolis Extract
• Royal Jelly Extract
• All known for their healing & renewing properties. 

The 10Balm is also an important component in my winter skincare routine because it works in synergy with other calming, soothing & hydrating products like the Niacinamide Skin Mist, Centella Green Level Buffet Serum & Liquid Filler Moisturizing Gel.

Have you tried 10Balm yet?? It’s definitely a skin saver!

Product Highlight: The Water Sleeping Mask

The famous Sleeping Mask from Laneige:

• I loved the cooling sensation upon application 
• It does have a hydrating effect but maybe not quite enough for my very dry/dehydrated skin
• You will wake up with very smooth skin
• Delivers plumped and glowing skin

The Water Sleeping Mask - Already a Legend!

This overnight sleeping mask from @laneige says it’s a “moisture-recharging gel mask that quickly absorbs to deeply hydrate your skin.” 💙

Stated as ideal for all skin types, in my experience it does not deliver quite enough hydration for my overly dry + dehydrated skin that’s especially sensitive to the dry winter weather & the heater running all night long.

Formulated with Ingredients like Hydro-Ionized Mineral Water (sounds cool) and apricot & evening primrose extracts. this beauty claims to deliver moisture, a relaxing & calming scent, visibly brightened skin that’s ultimately more radiant + refreshed + soft glowing skin!

Ok, let’s break this down - it definitely has a very relaxing, light scent that I adore. And, I feel it really delivers soft & glowing skin. However, for me it just not hydrating enough because I still awake with slightly tight skin...but that’s just me and my skin is very dehydrated. I do really enjoy this sleeping mask and I think I’ll get better results during the summer months which aren’t as dry? 

Stay Calm: Skin Calming Trio

Calm Down!! Calming Skincare Trio for stressed out skin...

Sometimes I wake up with angry skin that feels tight & looks red!  I think this is happening because the heater runs all night long...ugh!?! So, I grab my little trio of skin calming saviors to help sooth my skin:

The Niacinamide Skin Mist is my first step towards relief.  Niacinamide + Hyaluronic acid = hydrated skin.

The Centella Green Level Serum is my next step because it helps to reduce redness & inflammation.

10Balm is my final step to provide an intensive soothing effect while repairing my dry skin.

And now my skin is not so mad at me & we are friends again, for now...
