Happy Friday!
I love a good brand that doesn't cost alot. If you haven't tried Lumene yet, it's worth it. Check out today's beauty bubble for more on which products are worth it and which aren't.
In the meantime, I am dried out from the day at the Golfland / Sunsplash park here in Arizona and my experience with the Biore Skin preservation line has been amazing. Now, I am waiting on some feedback from 2 others who tested this new line, though I can honestly say my experience was good.
I tried the
1. "Clean Things Up nourishing gel cleanser "and it left my skin feeling clean. Not tight and dried out, but like the makeup was removed along with chlorine, sunscreen and a layer of whatever that brown cloud is that's hanging in the Phoenix sky. It had a light scent, smooth texture and gave some foam but still rinsed well.
2. "Even Smoother" microderm exfoliator which includes Botanmide technology. Now, I love a smooth grain exfoliator and this is very comparable to Dermalogica's corn based soft grit exfoliator at a lower price point. It instructs you when using it to do a light finger manipulation to stimulate and help remove dull surface skin. I've washed once with it, and will do another wash tomorrow. I need to space it out due to my intense sun time!
3. "Dual Fusion moisturizer with spf 30" was the accompanying moisturizer. It has both uva/uvb protection which is key in Arizona! it doesn't smell like sunscreen, but has a 30, plus it is very lightweight and absorbed rapidly. My liquid foundation went over smoothly and didn't break up on top of the spf based moisturizer. So, it's good! Try it!
For more details and a skin analysis, visit www.biore.com plus you can find local retail outlets for you to get your hands on your own new summer skin care line. It's a pefect time to transition into a spf based/lighter skin care with the coming summer heat.
p.s. I know, some of you are still in the 6 weeks of winter that Punxatawnee Phil was talking about, but around Phoenix, we are turning the air conditioning units on!
