In all seasons we want that warm radiant glow for our skin. You know that dewy sun kissed look that all the celebs seem to have. Most of us don’t have the time or the money for a professional sunless tan application or a stylist, so we resort to buying over the counter products. They usually end up making us look orange, go on uneven and they smell horrible! It’s hard to find a good smelling, natural, and effective self-tanner for the face and body.  Jane Iredale’s Tantasia self tanner could be your solution.

Jane Iredale is known in the cosmetic industry and dermatology field for making pure and natural skincare makeup that is mineral based and glides on the skin.  It’s great for all ages and skin types, and is recommended by Dermatologists for post procedure care and coverage.  The tantasia is a moisturizing, and natural bronzer that can be used on the face and body. It has a streak-free formula with no harsh ingredients or chemical smell; only a fresh citrus fragrance will be left behind. The best thing is you can get a glowing tan without even being out in the sun.

The formula is a gradual tan so it goes on natural looking and compliments your skin tone. It builds a flawless customized tan, so within 3 days you will have glowing radiant skin that even celebrities will be jealous of!  The formula will work for all skin types because it has been sensitivity tested for use on the face and body. To apply you can use the Jane Iredale Blending Brush for a more even application; please allow 15-20 of drying time before applying other skincare products or getting dressed.

One of my favorite cleansers has to be the Peter Thomas Roth Anti-Aging Cleansing Gel. I am not sure if it’s the smell of the product, or the results I get when I use this product that I like best, but it’s truly amazing.

It contains all the essential ingredients that an effective cleanser should have.  It has glycolic and salicylic acid to exfoliate the skin and provide a deep pore cleansing experience.  Citrus extracts for brightening and antioxidants to keep my skin healthy and radiant. This harmonic blend will help increase cell turnover to help to appearance of fine lines wrinkles and dull skin.

For those of us that like a gel based cleanser that really removes dirt, oil, and makeup this anti-aging cleansing gel really does the trick. It also works great with my Clarisonic, to remove dirt and oil and has a nice lather. I purchased the larger size bottle so I use it as a body wash to help exfoliate my dull winter skin.

The Peter Thomas Roth Anti-Aging Cleansing Gel works great for all skin types except really sensitive skin types. For sensitive skin, try the Peter Thomas Roth Gentle Foaming Face Wash. This is a mild gentle cleanser the will hydrate and soothe sensitive skin, while gently removing dirt and oil.

We all need to wear sunscreen no matter what our skin type is or time of year it may be.  Oily or break out prone skin types sometimes have a hard time finding a good moisturizer with SPF that won’t make them feel more oily and won’t aggravate their acne prone skin. Boscia has just developed an oil free moisturizing sunscreen that will help protect and heal your skin, while address anti-aging concerns.

The botanical formula is comprised of a physical sunscreen that will help to protect your skin from environmental damage while also preventing collagen breakdown which causes damage and photo aging to our skin.  One key ingredient called abyssine will help to further protect the skin while providing soothing benefits to address inflammation and irritation. The BB cream also has anti-aging benefits because it will help to promote skin elasticity, while reducing the appearance of fine lines with an ingredient called Hydroxyprolisilane. Hydroxyprolisilane is tissue regenerator that helps to stimulate, strengthen, and protect collagen and elastin fibers. The Boscia BB cream is also hydrating but will not clog your pores due to the oil free formula.

The BB cream has a slight tint to it, which will work for most skin types and will help to even out skin tone and help to address redness. It also works great as a makeup primer to smooth out the skin and help to diminish the appearance of pores. It’s very important to wear an SPF even if you are oily or acne prone. Please remember that wearing a sunscreen is your best defense against premature skin aging.

Our hair needs special attention at times, especially in the cold and dry winter months. Most of us heat style and color treat our hair and the results are usually dry, brittle, or broken hair. Our hair goes through a lot, so it’s important to use the right products that will keep us looking fabulous. Luckily Frederic Fekkai has a reparative conditioner that will help to condition and hydrate your hair, so we can relax a little while this conditioner does all the work.

The Protein Rx Reparative Conditioner is ideal for those of us that blow dry, flat iron relax, or color treat our hair, which is most of us! This miracle in a bottle contains soy and milk proteins which will help to reinforce the hair and smooth out the cuticle. It also contains jojoba and sweet almond protein which will help to promote growth and strengthen the hair, providing more manageability.

The Protein Rx Reparative Conditioner works very quickly, so you don’t need to leave it in but you can if you would like to use it as a deep conditioning solution. Immediately your hair will feel softer and more hydrated. It also works really well for helping to reduce static because it’s extremely hydrating and conditioning to the hair. You can also try the Frederic Fekkai Protein Rx Anti Breakage Treatment Mask and use it with the conditioner for added benefits.
