4 Skincare Products That Deliver Results


1.Jurlique Daily Exfoliating Cream. If your skin is regularly dry and red, the last thing you want to do is use a really harsh exfoliator on it. For exfoliating this type of skin, we recommend Jurlique's Daily Exfoliating Cream. Without a doubt, it is one of the gentlest exfoliators on the market and it's all natural.

The Daily Exfoliating Cream is full of oats, honey, and Jurlique's biodynamic blend of floral extracts so that your skin gets conditioned and hydrated as you wash it. This isn't a scrub in the traditional sense of the word - rather, it's more of a treatment cleanser that can help you get rid of dry spots without really scrubbing your skin.

It's gentle enough to use daily and won't leave sensitive skin feeling dry or over-scrubbed.

Jurlique products are available at Holt Renfrew here in Canada.

2. Dr. Brandt Microdermabrasion Cream. This is a best-selling product and for good reason: it gives a really good scrub but it does so with tiny grains so the scrub is very fine. Use regularly and you'll notice a difference: your skin will have fewer bumps and will be super-soft to the touch. For $75 it can be a bit pricey, but a tiny bit goes a long way so consider it an investment in your skin! Available at Sephora or Dr. Brand's website.

3. Peter Thomas Roth Eye Overhaul Duo. Even though I have oily skin most times of the year, the skin around my eyes is really dry right now. The only product that's really making a difference is this eye cream. It's great because one little jar has 2 formulas in it: one for day and one for night. The day one has an spf 30 which means that delicate skin will be protected from the harsh rays of the sun. The night formula is a cooling gel that sets in and helps reduce under eye circles! I love anything that helps me save counter space, and this definitely fits into this category.

4. Cosmedix Define Resurfacing Treatment. The Cosmedix line of products is new to us, but so far, we are impressed by this one product that we've tried. It's a lactic acid based treatment cream that helps exfoliate skin but at a very fast rate. We saw clearer, glowing skin after just one use! This cream also has vitamin A in it which helps skin look its best. Also slightly hydrating, this cream contains sweet almond oil and aloe to help condition your skin so it's not overly dry after the resurfacing. Cosmedix products are available at dermatologists' offices or online.
