Lotion, Face Wash, and More Lotion: Products That Make My Life

There are three products I use all the time that work. 


And here is the first: a lightly scented, non-greasy lotion that deeply hydrates.

When I was first looking for a good daily moisturizer, I wanted something that smelled good and was high quality and wasn't expensive as all get out. This fits the bill perfectly. This lotion is wonderful. It has the loveliest fresh scent, and it moisturizes better than any other lotion I've ever tried in all my twenty-four years. And that's an awful lot of lotion, y'all.

As a side note, please excuse the fact that the picture above is off center. I fought it. It won. And me and my OCD-ness were sad. Glad we all shared this moment. 

Moving right along . . . 

Second up: Clinique 7 Day Scrub

This scrub. I have no words. (Actually, that's a lie. You know I pretty much always do.) It has changed my skin. I'm one of those unfortunate souls genetically predisposed to have breakouts. For years, it's been me vs. my skin. And I think I might finally have a leg up. 

This product is divine. I've noticed my pores are smaller, my skin glows, and any breakouts I have disappear   quickly. It's not goopy, doesn't smell weird and is really, truly, effective. 

Also, just as a side note, remind me sometime to talk to you about the magic of Clinique lipstick. Lipstick, ladies. It adds a whole new dimension to a look. 

Thirdly: a lovely eye cream.

      Many, many moons ago when I was a teenager, I read somewhere that it's never too early to start using an eye cream. Apparently, the skin around the eye is especially sensitive so it's important to hydrate it. This cream is what I use . . . mostly because it smells super nice, to be honest. It has a nice little nozzle that allows you to put the cream exactly where you want it. And thus my eyes are happy and hydrated. 

As a side note, Amazon is currently selling this for a cent - just hit the link above. 

Not a paid advertisement. Just spreading the love about products that work.
