Braving the Winter with Skin Care

Benzoyl Peroxide is a compound that is an effective acne fighting formula that kills bacteria, dries out blemishes and removes dead skin and oil. Benzoyl Peroxide comes in 2.5%, 5% and 10% strengths and depending on the oiliness of the skin can be used to spot treat acne or all over to fight blemishes.

Around the clock skin Protectant

Don’t let winter fool you, just beacuse you don’t see the sun, or feel the warmth that it brings, doesn’t mean it’s not there. UVA and UVB rays are still present and can be reflected off of snow and glass buildings, causing damage to your skin. Neutrogena Clear Face Liquid-Lotion Sunblock has a mild, lightweight, hypo-allergenic formula. It won’t cause breakouts, look oily under makeup, or clog your pores. So remember, keep your skin healthier, smoother, and younger by not reserving your sunscreen for summer fun, instead use it all year-round for maximum protection.

Beauty Moment: AloeforMocha Skin Care

AloeforMocha is one of the best skin care lines I’ve tried in a long time.  My skin has never felt better!  It’s super soft to touch, I haven’t experienced any breakouts, and it glows!  

I had the pleasure to meet the owner, Danna K. Johnston during our Experience Indique event in Seattle, WA.  Danna developed this nature-based, paraben-free skin care line to help resolve the issues that many dark-toned women face.  

I saw results within weeks after using the cleanser, toner, moisturizer, and mask.  My skin went from blotchy and dry to even-toned and supple.

My favorite is the Aloe & Licorice Hydrating Cleanser.  It feels like butter on the skin.  It’s very emollient and doesn’t leave the skin dry like other cleansers.

Check out Danna’s AloeforMocha product line at www.shop.darkskincare.com.  You’re going to love it!
