OCTOBER

Fall is officially here and so is pumpkin fever. From lattes to donuts, fall's most popular flavor is all around us.  And thanks to this mask from Peter Thomas Roth, we can incorporate this delicious fall favorite into our skin care routine year round.

Even if you're not a fan of pumpkin pie, you may be of this mask because it's a great way to exfoliate and polish your skin without a lot of fuss.  

According to the Peter Thomas Roth website, it does that  three ways-with Pumpkin Enzyme, Alpha Hydroxy Acid, and Aluminum Oxide Crystals. 

I use it 2-3 times a week and really like the way it makes my skin feel and look. 

If you love the rich scents of fall and easy skin care, this one may be for you.  

I found the best price on Amazon-$40.00 (at the time of this post):

Cleansing is one of the most important things you can do for your skin. Taking a few minutes in the morning and evening to wash your face is the first step to getting the kind of skin that makes a great canvas for make-up. 

Finding a cleanser that is gentle on skin, but powerful enough to remove tough mascara, make-up, oils, sunscreens and the like can be challenging. I used to use an eye make remover and then a cleanser until I found Purity. It does a great  job of getting my face clean without leaving it feeling stripped and dry. 

According to the company, it is suitable for all skin types, and from my personal experience, I found that to be true. I used it when I had oilier skin and it works just as well for me now  that my skin is drier. 

Some other things I like about it:

-phthalate  and cruelty free

-leaves skin lightly hydrated

-Paraben free

Sephora and Ulta carry it, but QVC has bigger sizes and some good deals on it this time of year. Check one out here: http://tinyurl.com/539es9dk

Happy Holidays Everyone!

If you're looking to help your dry, winter skin, then this Argan Milk night cream from Josie Maran might be just the ticket for you. 

It contains  microdroplets of argan oil, along with niacinamide, and shea butter to deeply hydrate dry skin. 

It's  considered "clean beauty" because there are  no synthetic fragrances, parabens, phthalates, or sulfates.  It's  also cruelty free. 

I started using it several months ago, and am happy with the results. I know it's marketed as a night cream but I use it day and night. It makes my skin  feel so good, I just  can't  be without it! Plus, I love the glow it seems to give me.  I plan on keeping this in my regimen year round.
