I’ve been trying a number of creams lately and I’m happy to report that I’ve found some really great ones that have done wonders for my dry skin!

This time of the year can seriously cause severe dryness to the skin and my weapons of choice are good quality body creams.

I know it might not sound all that glamorous, but if you have someone on your “winter birthdays” gift-giving list who has really severely dry skin in the winter, a good quality hand or body cream would be a really wonderful gift.

I should warn readers … in some cases these creams can only be found in America or the U.K. in most cases you will have the option to purchase them online, but I thought it was important to state that up front.

It’s pretty annoying when I realize I don’t have any travel-sized toiletries before I leave for a trip.

Luckily, hotels usually have something that you can use but sometimes you have to go out and buy skincare products you like and know work for you.

I’ve just been introduced to Per-fékt Beauty and all of their skincare products are 3 oz or less!!!

There are three main gels that are part of this line: 1) skin perfection gel, 2) body perfection gel and 3) new eye perfection gel.

Now here’s a product you don’t see every day! There are some who say that your neck gives away your age, but what if you could take that clue away?

And how often are you envious of those model shoots of women with nice long and silky smooth looking necks? I know I wish I was able to keep the skin of my neck as smooth as possible and I know for a fact that I don’t have access to air-brushing like so many models in magazines do.

Unfortunately for me, my neck isn’t all that great in terms of concealing lines, and that’s why I think the V-Neck Smoothing Creme by Bioelements is worth taking a closer look.

Some mornings it’s just too hard to get going — hitting the same old city streets and the same old office job wearing the same old office garb and drinking the same old coffee. Some mornings, I need a bit of an adventure to get me going first. I know what you’re thinking, but Mr. Right Now isn’t always there … so when he’s not, I like to pretend that I’m a nubile rainforest goddess living under a jungle canopy and loving my perfect hair and skin … I know – I have an overactive imagination!

Testing Ojon Tawaka “The Ball”

Review submitted by our product reviewer Eleni

I just love a luxurious body lotion. Generic drugstore brands are okay and do their job, but sometimes a girl wants to feel more pampered … more like a princess or movie star. I was able to get that creamy, dreamy feeling using the Elizabeth Grant Vitamin C Body Lotion.

Testing Vitamin C Body Lotion:

Testing this lotion was a no-brainer. I applied it every morning after my shower while my skin was still slightly damp and able to absorb all the goodness. Adding vitamin C to this body lotion in the sunny yellow tube with its flip-top cap was pure genius. The consistency is the perfect amount of creaminess that absorbs quickly and keeps working for hours. The lotion has a very light citrus scent that doesn’t clash with perfume in any way.

I cannot tell you how much I hate dry skin. It doesn’t really matter if it’s summer or winter … I always seem to have parts of my body that are extremely dry.

I have lately come across a new body cream that I never heard or tried before.

There are a few things I dislike about a body cream: super-greasy and creams filled with synthetic fragrances. I cannot be bothered with either of those types of creams.

I was a bit skeptical when I got the Bioelements Vitalization Rich Intensity Body Cream and dismissed it as just another cream … that’s until I actually tried it.

Dremu Oil is very effective at combating stretch marks from your skin being stretched out to make room for your new little bundle of joy.

During your pregnancy you might have had to also deal with “pregnancy skin,” which means there wasn’t anything that you could buy or try that would soothe or rejuvenate your skin when you were expecting and in some cases months after you’ve given birth because of those temperamental hormones.

You’ll notice that many of the Isomers body products are very different from what you usually find on the market because they use a potent cocktail of ingredients to help the rest of your body look as young as your face.

Here are a few products you might want to seriously consider:

Isomer ONE 3000 for Body Cream with caffeine: This power cream contains key elements to jump-start your skin with ingredients like peptides, minerals, moisture binders, emollients, genestine, anti-oxidants, and caffeine. All these will help hydrate, soften, smoothe your skin while reducing roughness.

Stretch marks are the reality of being a mom. Most symptoms related to pregnancy such as swollen ankles, morning sickness, cravings and hormones gone wild pass after you’ve given birth. But stretch marks … they just don’t go away that easily.

It’s not only new moms who have to deal with stretch marks. Anyone who has experienced severe weight gain or weight loss will have to deal with these discoloured lines on your tummy and upper thighs.

I might not use as much body cream during the summer months as I do during the winter, but I never leave my skin with moisturizer … regardless of the season.

If you are looking for a lighter alternative to a daily body moisturizer during summer months, you might want to consider a mousse.

Olay Quench is a mousse so it’s not as heavy as a cream and an excellent alternative for the summer. The best is to apply the Olay Quench Mousse is after your shower and it will disappear in a few seconds per body part.
