Hydrating Day Cream & Hydrating Night Cream by Derma E ***New Look Same Great Formulas!***

Hydrating Day Cream by Derma E

Derma E is one of my favorite natural, eco-friendly skincare brands. It's affordable, dermatologist recommended and a brand that you can easily find at natural and organic health food stores like Whole Foods. However, I have also picked it up at places like Sally Beauty Supply, Ulta and of course you can also find it at many on-line retailers.

Derma E has gone through a bit of a makeover and is relaunching their entire skincare line with beautiful, sleek new packaging. While I found their old packaging appealing I am really loving the new look. It's seems to have a more modern and minimalist look and the colors are a bit more subtle. Beautiful.  While the packaging has had on overhaul the products themselves are still the great products we have all come to know and love. 

 They recently, sent me their Hydrating Day Cream in the old packaging (see pic below).  I have used this Day Cream in the past and I was excited to have it in my stash once again.

The Hydrating Day Cream is a fairly intense moisturizer for a Day Cream so if you have more oily skin like me a little goes a long way.  For you more drier skin girls you can apply as needed.  This lightly scented cream will quickly absorb and instantly moisturize whatever your skin type.  Not only will your skin be instantly hydrated but it will also become more soft and plump and it will feel nice and smooth.  Formulated with Hyaluronic Acid, anti-aging antioxidants Green Tea, Vitamins C and E, and soothing Aloe to help nourish and protect skin against free radicals.

Of course, this Hydrating Day Cream is also 100% vegan, cruelty-free, paraben-free, sulfate-free, mineral oil-free, lanolin-free, gluten free and GMO-free.  LOVE!!

The other wonderful thing is that it retails at $29.50 for a 2 ounce jar which will last forever!  This is one moisturizer that I would highly recommend, jam packed with skin loving ingredients your skin will thank you for it.

Hydrating Night Cream by Derma E

They were also nice enough to send me their Hydrating Night Cream as well.  I have never tried their Night Cream before but as soon as I opened the jar I knew it would quickly become a favorite of it was even half as nice as the Day Cream.  Plus, it smells heavenly.  Light and fresh with a hint of Plumeria!  If they made a perfume out of it I would buy it, I like it that much!
Lovely scent aside this is everything you would expect a night cream to be and more.  It provides serious hydration and after the first use you'll awaken to soft and supple skin.  It also helps minimize the look of fine lines and wrinkles so skin looks and feels younger.
Formulated with some of the same ingredients as the Day Cream and just as the nice the Night Cream seems to be a more intense version and slightly more beneficial.
A little goes a long way for this Night Cream.  Since it is has a thicker consistency it takes a little longer to absorb than the Day Cream but once absorbed skin is instantly hydrated.  I always recommend to take skin care all the way down to the decollete but for night time skincare it's an absolute must.  I actually like to apply this to my decollete right when I get out of the shower in the evening and then follow up with my face and neck once I get dressed.
Like the Day Cream the Night Cream it's also 100% vegan, cruelty-free, paraben-free, sulfate-free, mineral oil-free, lanolin-free, gluten free, GMO-free and retails at $29.50 for a 2 ounce jar that will last forever.
I am so glad to have this Hydrating Night Cream by Derma E in my skincare arsenal and I plan on purchasing even more products to add to it!

Derma E has a wide selection of affordable, wonderful products to choose from and now they will look even more beautiful sitting on your bathroom counter!  Make sure you head over to dermae.com to check out all their new packaging and their latest products.

Natural & Organic Pure Glow Brightening Moisturizer by Valentia Skin Care

*Natural & Organic Pure Glow Brightening Moisturizer by Valentia Skin Care

As a beauty blogger I am blessed at being able to test out lots of great skincare products and in the process I also discover some fantastic brands and Valentia Skin Care is one of them.  I've tested out several products from Valentia and because the products are such great quality and because I love what they do for my skin they have become one of my favorite skincare brands.

The newest product that I have been testing out is this Natural & Organic Pure Glow Brightening Moisturizer.  It's loaded with some potent ingredients like Botanical Hyaluronic Acid and Shea Butter that help hydrate and nourish the skin while ingredients like Ginseng and Kojic Acid also help even out skin tone and firm the skin.

This is a lightweight moisturizer that is easily and quickly absorbed into the skin leaving it feeling soft and hydrated and it also adds a nice "glow from within" look to the skin as well.  In general, I have oily skin and this moisturizer actually seems to help balance out my skin.  It helps diminish my fine lines and overall my skin just looks more healthy and hydrated.

This is a great day time moisturizer but I have even used it as a night cream too.  It wears well under makeup and I haven't had any issues with breakouts.  I would recommend this moisturizer for all skin types.  I really think just about every skin type from dry to oily and even acne prone could benefit from it.  Plus, I think it's at a great price point at $25.00 for a 4 ounce bottle that will last forever.  Of course, it also contains all natural and organic ingredients that do some really great things for the skin which make it really worth it!

You can find this Natural & Organic Pure Glow Brightening Moisturizer by Valentia Skin Care on the Valentia website or over on Amazon.com...

Age Defend Replenishing Moisturizer & Hydration Injection Masque by ARK Skincare

*Age Defend Replenishing Moisturizer by ARK Skincare

One of the things I love about being a beauty blogger is all the great new skincare products and brands I get to discover!  I can definitely add ARK Skincare and their Age Defend Replenishing Moisturizer & Hydration Injection Masque to my favorites list!  The packaging is next level and so are the products.

According to the ARK website ARK Skincare is all about producing products that deliver professional, salon grade results using the most innovative natural formulations.  As a result we get a highly effective and personalized skincare regime that's individualized!

Their Age Defend Replenishing Moisturizer is specifically formulated for skin in the 30's and 40's age range.  I'm 43 so I'm well into the 40's category.  Even though I'm 43 I would have to say that I would still consider my skin type to be oily.  Having oily skin means I have to really pick and choose what kind of moisturizer I use on my face.  Most moisturizers formulated for more "mature" skins tend to be a little too heavy for my skin.  This Age Defend Replenishing Moisturizer is somewhere in the middle.  I've found that it all depends on what else I am putting on my face.  If I am using a primer and a mineral foundation it's the perfect moisturizer for me.  However, if I am wearing a more nourishing liquid foundation on top of it my skin will start to get shiny around 11am.  Although, I have also been using it as my night cream and I love the way my skin looks and feels in the morning.  It has a nice glow and looks nice and smooth.  Of course I also use it on my neck and decollete morning and night!  Do not forget those necks and decolletes!!

Overall, this is a fantastic moisturizer that I am happy to have in my skincare arsenal.  It really plumps, hydrates and nourishes my skin and gives it the "glow from within" look which I love.  I have also noticed that since I have started using it that my fine lines are less noticeable so that makes this moisturizer a winner right there!

If your like me and have oily skin I would still highly recommend giving this a try.  You just need to think about what else you will be wearing along with it and make the necessary adjustments.  Or maybe try the Age Protect Skin Vitality Moisturizer that is formulated for younger skin.  However, if you have combination, normal or dry or mature skin you will be in heaven!

The Age Defend Replenishing Moisturizer retails for $70.00 for 1.7 oz and you can find it on arkskincareusa.com.

*Hydration Injection Masque by ARK Skincare 

I must admit that I have probably never met a mask I didn't like.  I always feel like my skin looks and feels better when I use a mask and I try to do some version of a mask at least three times a week.  I do everything from clay, gel, cream and of course I love a good sheet mask.  My favorite thing to do is multi-masking.  For those of you that have been living under a rock and never heard the tem multi-masking it's essentially using several different masks all at once.  I usually like to use a clay based mask on the areas where my skin is looking and feeling a little congested and then use a hydrating cream or gel based mask on the areas that are looking dull and dehydrated.

This Hydration Injection Masque has become my favorite when my skin needs an instant hydration boost and when I am doing my multi-masking sessions.  This mask is so intense that after just 5 minutes your skin will look more plump and nourished.  This is a fantastic mask to use before a night out simply because you can have better looking skin in just 5 minutes!  If you have time or for more intensive hydration leave it on longer.  It can even be left on overnight if your skin is looking and feeling really especially depleted.

Whatever your the condition of your skin this Hydration Injection Masque by ARK Skincare can improve it in just 5 minutes.  Who doesn't have 5 minutes?  Formulated with multivitamins and Hyaluronic Acid your skin will look more nourished, rested, plump and radiant and feel more moisturized, soft and smooth after just one application.  Amazing!

The Hydration Injection Masque by ARK Skincare retails for $70.00 for 2.5 oz and you can find it on arkskincareusa.com.

Phytoaminopeptide Serum by Serment

*Phytoaminopeptide Serum by Serment 

One thing I've realized over the years while being a self proclaimed skincare addict it's that the lovely Korean people know how to do skincare!  There is a ton of excellent Korean skincare on the market these days and most of it's fun and innovative. 

While this Phytoaminopeptide Serum by Serment isn't as fun as wearing a Panda face Sheet Mask it does some pretty great things for the skin.  It's formulated with Phyto-stem cells activators which help cells build new tissue which translates into soft, smooth skin.  It also contains anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory ingredients which helps keep skin looking clear and refreshed.  It also helps diminish the look of fine lines and wrinkles.  It's the perfect multi-tasking product!

This serum is lightweight and absorbs really quickly.  I like to apply it daily to a freshly washed face and to slightly damp skin.  I use as part of both my morning and evening skincare routines and I also make sure to apply it to my neck and decollete!

I think all skin types would benefit from this serum and I highly recommend it!

*Retexturing Treatment by Exuviance 

Who doesn't want softer, smoother skin?  And I'm not just talking about your face!  We should be able to have soft and smooth skin everywhere, am I right?  This heavenly Retexturing Treatment by Exuviance gives you just that, softer, smoother skin all over your body.  It's mainly recommended for your arms and legs but I've been slathering it all over and loving the way my skin looks and feels.

Of course I already knew I would end up loving this since it's a product by Exuviance.  Exuviance is one of my favorite skincare brands.  Admittedly, as a skincare addict I have a more than a few brands that I love but Exuviance is one that never disappoints!

Everything about this product reminds me of a swanky Spa.  From the look of the packaging and the smell of the product to the results it delivers.  This Retexturing Treatment by Exuviance is formulated with a 10% Glycolic Acid/PHA which encourages cell turnover and helps resurface skin to reveal fresh, new skin.  That means your once dry, rough and flaky skin becomes soft, smooth and even a little younger looking!  It also contains Vitamin E, and Shea Butter to help hydrate, reinforce and protect that fresh new skin.

This would especially be a fantastic product to use if you have issues Keratosis Pilaris.  Otherwise known as "those annoying little bumps you get on the back of your arms and thighs".  Thankfully, I don't have Keratosis Pilaris but I can see where this Retexturing Treatment would be highly beneficial in treating this condition.

As with any product that encourages cell turn over it's also recommended that you use an SPF in conjunction to prevent a possible sunburn.  Plus, you need to keep that fresh new skin looking it's best for as long as possible!

I usually use Retexturing Treatment by Exuviance at night before bed but I have also used it as part of my usual morning skincare routine as well.  It's a fairly lightweight lotion that absorbs really quickly and instantly leaves skin feeling soft and hydrated.  I started seeing a difference in the appearance of my skin within a few days of consistent use.  My dry, rough patches were markedly improved and the overall look and feel of my skin was much softer and smoother.

If you are into skincare like me and really want to improve the overall look and feel of your skin then definitely check out this Retexturing Treatment by Exuviance!
