BABY SOFT SKIN. ATTAINABLE WITH PHILOSOPHY’S MICRODELIVERY PEEL

When we are born we have the softest most wonderful skin. Over time that lovely skin roughens due to sun damage, loss of elasticity and collagen. As we age our skin does not shed cells as fast, leading to a feeling of roughness and a look of sallow skin. Philosophy has a great system for beating that feeling. Their Microdelivery Peel ($45.00), leaves skin feeling just like a baby’s bottom. Yes, I am serious. Use it and you won’t be able to leave your hands off your face!



First, is the Microdelivery Exfoliating Wash. This can be used daily. After taking the makeup off your eyes, use the wash to prep the skin. It has small beads that physically exfoliate the skin. Dry your face. Now comes the fun. The Microdelivery Peel is the main focus of the kit. Use weekly. This kit has a combination of physical and chemical exfoliants that really get rid of the surface layers of the skin, making it as smooth as a baby’s bottom. Step 1 of the Microdelivery Peel is the Vitamin C/Peptide Resurfacing Crystals. This is a thick, orange paste that you spread over your face and massage for up to a minute (or a little bit more if you want a really good exfoliation). After this, use Step 2, the Lactic Acid/Salicylic Acid Activating Gel. Pour some in your hand then rub over the face. The gel will foam up and feel warm as it activates with the paste. Leave on for 2-3 minutes. Foam can also be massaged while waiting for extra exfoliation. Rinse off with warm water and dry skin. Now feel how soft and smooth skin is. Smile and enjoy.

The Microdelivery Peel is available at www.philosphy.com, www.ulta.com, www.beauty.com or www.sephora.com. The kit retails for $40.00 for the 1 oz. size or $65.00 for the 2 oz. size. The Microdelivery Exfoliating Wash is $25.00 for 8 oz., $37.00 for 16 oz. and $58.00 for 32 oz.

Question of the Day

I get little pimples on the back of my thighs. What causes this? How can I prevent them from appearing?

The little bumps are most likely hyperkeratinization, which is extremely normal. It can happen almost anywhere on your body: back of thighs, back of arms, on your back. The best way to diminish the appearance is to exfoliate regularly and to moisturize with a heavy cream. Meaning, do not use a lotion. The exfoliation will aid in sloughing away the dead skin cells and allows the newer, fresher skin to show. Using a heavier body cream will help keep the skin's hydration levels where they need to be to prevent your skin from drying out. Shaving can also play a role in causing these little bumps. While they may not develop into in-grown hairs, the hair follicle is wide open and this allows the bacteria/dirt to enter thus causing more little white bumps. Again, exfoliation is your best bet.

What I suggest is to exfoliate your skin 3 times a week. You don't want to over exfoliate as that can dry your skin out but just enough to keep the smoothness intact. Moisturize after every exfoliation/shower. Here is another little trick of mine. After I am done my showering/shaving/exfoliating, I always stand under the shower tap for 1 min with only cold water. It helps to close off any open pores as well!

You can't go wrong using these:

Sephora's Sephora Body Sugar Scrub

Bliss's FatGirl Scrub

Kiehl's Creme du Corps Soy Milk and Honey Body Scrub

Kiehl's Creme du Corps Body Lotion

Philosophy's Amazing Grace Body Emulsion

The above products can be found at:

Kiehl's

Sephora

And to help you buff away, you can use a loofah, which can be purchased from any drugstore. However, I suggest you buy cheap ones but it bulk. It is best if you throw away your loofah after 1 month of usage. Or you can use the loofah gloves. They have a rougher texture to them and can be used both wet and dry.

Try it out and you'll start seeing the differences right away!

Has your guy ever said that to you? Or have any of your friends ever wondered why you smell like Cake or Caramel? Coconut or Root Beer? There are so many beauty products in the market that smell divine (and have adorable packaging..you know how I am with packaging). They are even beneficial for your skin! They dont deplete your moisture content or dry your skin out. They dont cause allergic reactions or hives. All they do, is lather up, scrub, smooth, lotion up and on your skin and THEY SMELL GOOD. Like SO good....trust me, you wont stop smelling yourself. And if you're single, it will definetly attract the men..the good kind! If you live in Vancouver, BC you should check out OPEN SUNDAES (at your local Bay!!), they are for sure going to give your body the treat it deserves!
