Seven fave skin care products
sigh. Skin care. I hesitate to write about it, as I don't know the science behind it: for that, I refer the reader to medical student Nicki Zevola's FutureDerm blog and Paula Begoun's cosmetic ingredient dictionary.
Nonetheless, here are seven skin care products that I enjoy using:
2. Lisa Hoffman Beauty A & C Serum goes on slick and oily, but when you wake up in the morning, your skin is soft. I also like her Day Cleanser, which I use at night. I have never understood the purpose of washing the skin both morning and night.
Lisa Hoffman Beauty skin care is no longer sold through her web site, as she seems to be focusing on her fragrance concepts. Nonetheless, you can find some products through DermStore.
I received a treasure trove of Lisa Hoffman Beauty skin care products from her former PR rep, but let it lie in the closet: bad :-( I'm glad that I pulled it out.
3. The Solution by Envision Beauty streamlines skin care. It is designed as a multi-tasking product that replaces night cream, serum, eye cream, and makeup primer. It also advertises itself as a replacement for day cream, but since it's not rated for SPF, I hesitate to call it a replacement for day cream. The Solution by Envision Beauty is a lightweight lotion that leaves a non-greasy, non-oily finish. This is one of the few samples that I have received that I've used to the bottom of the bottle and went back to become a paying customer!
Since I reviewed The Solution by Envision Beauty in April 2009, my skin has become dryer and my skin care needs have changed. I need a richer moisturizer. Nonetheless, I occasionally apply The Solution by Envision Beauty as a lightweight primer before my makeup. Founder Kimberly Snyder has since fashioned herself as a "celebrity nutritionist."
You may shop The Solution by Envision Beauty at its web site.
4. Better Botanicals Rose Tulsi Toning Mist ("tulsi" is Sanskrit for basil) is not a necessary skin care step, but I love spritzing this fragrant mist on my Beautyblender sponge with it before applying makeup. You may shop Better Botanicals through its web site.
What are my three other picks?
Nonetheless, here are seven skin care products that I enjoy using:
1. Perlabella PureDose Pearls are airtight capsules containing serum that offers a fresh product with each dose. You may find Perlabella at Walgreen's stores. See my post New skin care at Walgreen's, dated April 2009, for more on Perlabella. Later in this post, I'll provide an update on skin care at Walgreen's.

New skin care at Walgreen's
My slogan at More Than a Pretty Face is "beauty is where you find it." At one level, that means I search out dollar stores, drug stores, beauty supply stores, mail order catalogues, department stores, specialty stores, and more to discover beauty products. Today I focus on new skin care products sold through Walgreen's.
Walgreen's is now discontinuing its European Beauty Collection of skin care brands, which means that people can now buy these products at discount.
At the same time, Walgreen's has entered into exclusive distribution agreements with Korea's The Face Shop and Italy's Equilibra.
The principal product from The Face Shop is a moist mask sheet that you lay over your face for 20 minutes. The mask sheets is available in a variety of different formulas, including botanical solutions.
Equilibra Perlabella Anti-Aging Retinol Face capsules
The principal product from Equilibra is Perlabella, "pearls" or capsules of face serum in different formulas. You may buy packages containing 28 capsules from walgreens.com or Amazon.com
. Packets containing seven capsules may be purchased at Walgreen's stores.
