When Hope is Not Enough Hyaluronic Acid/Peptide Capsules - Philosophy


When things get stressful in your life, sometimes you have to pull out the big guns for your face. This is the time to give yourself that special facial, exfoliate, apply masks, basically whatever it takes. Not just because it's you being sweet to yourself (and it is) but also because stress is HELL on your skin! Before you know it, you look in the mirror and see skin that appears to have had the life sucked out of it and guess what, that stresses you out even more. It becomes a moisture 911 situation.
My friend and skin care expert Tyler Steele recently reminded me about hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is all about sucking the moisture back into your face! It has the ability to hold a thousand times its weight in water. Tyler gets more technical about the whys and wherefores in his blog bytylersteele.com, but all I know is hyaluronic acid works. This version by Philosophy is truly great! It never goes bad because it's maintained in these individual little plastic capsules. It also has peptide which is excellent for helping with firmness. Pop one open and add it to your daily serum or apply it alone before your moisturizer. It has a lovely velvety feel. Don't worry about breaking out if you have oily skin. This stuff is not oily. In fact, you should find it helps calm down those pesky areas. It also gives you more bang for your buck with you moisturizer because your skin absorbs it more!
So to battle stressed out, dehydrated skin drink lots of water, exfoliate regularly, try When Hope Is Not Enough Hyaluronic Acid/Peptide capsules, and moisturize!

The Controversial Ordinary

Image
So recently I dealt with a difficult loss. I was in pretty bad shape and after a week or so found myself looking at a truly messed up stranger in the mirror. Facebook must have known I needed a distraction because I found myself part of this new group about all things The Ordinary along with another group called FOREVER 35 . Lord did I go down the rabbit hole. These were my people. Just as obsessed with skincare as I normally am. I dare say even worse. The concept of The Ordinary is right up my alley. Individual ingredients sold separately for shockingly low prices. I'm the person who at times has purchased ingredients wholesale in bulk to make my own moisturizer. So this of course intrigued me. Now I want to preface this by saying you really do need to do your research before buying all of The Ordinary products and slapping them on your face. This is pretty potent stuff. One poor soul posted a photo today of a nasty chemical burn on her cheek from putting a high concentrate

Huxley Secret of Sahara Oil Essence; Essence-Like, Oil-Like

Image
My dearest husband surprised me for my birthday last year by going to a beauty store in Korea Town, Los Angeles to buy me skin care. He says he finally figured it out. Skincare for me is like records and CDs are to him. I feel seen. Thanks to the advice of some clearly knowledgeable sales clerks in Korea Town, he got me some truly delightful products. But for me to blog about a product I have to be madly in love. For the record I am currently out of my Huxley Oil Essence and it is frankly affecting my self esteem. This is not an exaggeration. Therefore it occurs to me that I really do need to spread the love on this one. From what I understand Huxley is a favorite among flight attendants. Air travel is very dehydrating, I can see why they love it. Is it an oil? Is it an essence? Is it a serum? I don't know. What is called a lotion in the US is not what is called a lotion in Korea. I have found that what I call a serum may or may not be described as an ampoule by someone el

To Good Genes or not to Good Genes. That is the Question.

There is a lot of buzz out there for the cult favorite GOOD GENES ($105). But Sunday Riley, the brand which makes this cult phenomenon is also cultivating a lot of buzz for bad business practices. I'm not one for supporting a company that fakes reviews. Maybe those fake reviews created the buzz to make GOOD GENES phenomenon; maybe they didn't. But in truth real people do love the product. Because lactic acid is an effective ingredient. Lactic acid, is lactic acid though. There are plenty of other brands that carry a good lactic acid product. For a one to one, meaning basically the same product/function, I actually prefer Tata Harper RESURFACING SERUM ($88). GOOD GENES is good but in my experience RESURFACING SERUM from Tata Harper is better and more effective. I recently discovered Thrive OVERNIGHT SENSATION Brightening Sleep Mask ($62) which combines glycolic and lactic acid and that is working well for me right now. I've happily used Peter Thomas Roth Unwrinkl
