Wait - there’s more! I’ve been making some new great product discoveries and want to share:
Arbonne. I was recently treated to an introduction to their newest line of products, Derm Results. LOVE these, including a cleansing balm with avocado oil. (No, it doesn’t make your face greasy…here’s what dermatologist Dr. Jeanette Graf, says about it: “The natural oils which include a mixture of avocado oil, rose hips, and omega-rich botanicals gently and effectively remove makeup, debris, and other impurities without stripping the skin of its natural moisture.")
Dermaflash. Got facial hair; peach fuzz? It’s an extremely common complaint among women of a certain age. I had an opportunity to try out this sonic dermaplaning and peach fuzz removal tool and I am extremely pleased/reassured/relieved that there’s an easy way to banish the fuzz. It takes a little practice, but once you get the hang of it, it’ll be just as easy as brushing your teeth.
Beachwaver. I love the look of “beachy waves” in my hair but always end up with a hopeless mess when I try to use a curling iron. Put your hair in; press a button and it twirls your strands into soft waves. Easy peasy.
