On the hunt for moisturizer…

So, I spent the weekend trolling around my favorite beauty spots.  I first started at Blue Mercury (the best beauty store ever!).  They recommended that I go with the Darphin products to winterproof my dry skin.  This Darphin Hydraskin Light is for the day, and then would be followed by the nighttime Hydraskin Night Cream.

Then, I headed over to Sephora.  I was a little overwhelmed with all of the options, but I had done some research online about Philosophy’s products, so I tried out a few of their moisturizers.

This Hope in a Jar seemed like the best fit for me, but I can’t help but feel like their products are a bit of a fad.  I gave up on the search, and headed off to get a facial.  I tried out Affordable Skin Care Salon (537 East Girard Ave) in Philadelphia.  Mary the owner performs the facials, I got the Ayurvedic Facial.  Their prices are really affordable from $27-$58.  I’m still on the hunt for the perfect moisturizer, but at least my skin is feeling good for now.

    I highly recommend Neals Yard.
    I’ve tried Clinique, Korres, Dr Sebagh… you name it, but nothign comes close to these beauties.
    Pick the one that seems skin-appropriate.

    I use Derma e Anti-aging Moisturizing complex SPF 15. All Derma e products contain antioxidents that protect skin from free radicals. Also, it doesn’t feel greasy and it keeps my skin hydrated and protected.

    I use straight up 100% jojoba oil. closest thing to our own natural sebum. I use it allllll over my body and face. doesn’t clog pours. Its actually a liquid wax. When i put it on my face after I wash it at night, I wake up with the softest skin. You can get it at whole foods or any health food store. :)

    Hi, believe it or not, you may wish to try good ol’ drugstore Olay. I’ve been using the Regenerist range for many years and I love it.
