Kiehl's Creme De Corps

Kiehl's Creme De Corps
This is hands down one of my favorite moisturizers. It is rich, glides on smoothly and visibly improves skin. The no-fragrant formula ensures you smell like you.

You'll feel an instant smoothing effect after the first application and with continuous use, this will reveal soft, healthy, happy skin. The light orange hint comes from natural beta-carotene that provides antioxidant protection to fight daily environmental aggressions.

Cocoa butter that melts at body temperature lubricates and softens to relief dry, dehydrated skin. I take this with me on every winter vacation and it is a skin saver worth relying on.

Sesame oil gives this body lotion its silky texture and allows rapid absorption into dry skin cells. With multiple size options, you can take this anywhere.

I always get the 1 liter pump bottle every time because it is more cost-effective in the long run. So your skin and your wallet will thank you.

Get this for US$26.50 (8.4oz/250ml) at Kiehl's.


Keri Long Lasting Hand Cream with Vitamin E

Keri Long Lasting Hand Cream with Vitamin E
I am quite particular about having hands so I wash my hands quite frequently throughout the day. Before I eat, before grooming, after I touch the family dog etc. That dries up my hands pretty quickly so having a good hand cream is essential. 

I discovered this great hand cream a few weeks ago and I have been anamored ever since. My staple before this was the Neutrogena Norwegian Formula Hand Cream, Fragrance Free. I still swear by that but I have been using the Neutrogena one for years and I like to shake things up a little. So this Keri Long Lasting Hand Cream with Vitamin E has become my new staple.

The beauty of this is that a protective film still remains after a wash or a couple so if you ever forget to reapply or for whatever reason, your hands still feel soft and moisturized. The texture is wonderful too and it leaves my hands soft, smooth and really comfortable after every application. 

Vitamin E protects your hands while offering antioxidant protection. As soon as I realized how good this was, I went back to the store to buy a few more tubs. The super afforable price tag is just icing on the cake when a product works this well. 


Clarins Men Skin Difference

Clarins Men Skin Difference
Good two-in-one products give you a bang for your buck. I am always keen on things that give me a bang for my buck. I mean, money's hard-earned so why shouldn't your products work hard for you too?

Shaving is a daily routine and this two-in-one product from Clarins helps make it that much easier. Two products - one water-soluble and one oil-soluble works to soften facial hair and slow down regrowth while moisturizing at the same time. 

I slapped this on the night before I want to shave and go to bed with it. This allows the product to penetrate and work its magic while you sleep. The next morning, shaving is a breeze. I could feel the difference. It's noticeably easier and quicker when I shave the next day. Plus waking up with hydrated and softer skin can't hurt either. 


 

ZAPZYT Acne Pack

ZAPZYT Acne Pack
I used to have severe teenage acne when I was in high school. I went to bed one night with clear skin and the next morning, my whole face was filled with zits. It was the least enjoyable aspect of puberty - at least for me. 

I tried many different products and getting a acne kit was the most economical and convenient. I used ProActiv for a while and it helped but then it stopped working because my skin got used to it. So I switched to AcneFree which worked great. I had to deal with an outbreak recently and I was looking for products and I found this. 

It comes with a cleanser fortified with 2% Salicylic Acid, a day moisturizer with 2% Salicylic Acid and a stronger night moisturizer with 5% Benzoyl Peroxide. The good thing about this kit is that it also contains Aloe Vera and Chamomile extract which helps soothes red and inflamed skin. 

Both moisturizers absorbed quickly and easily and they worked! My zits cleared up in a week and my skin looked better. And the best thing is, you don't have to break the bank ever for good skin!

At US$15.99, this wonderful kit is super affordable. Get this ZAPZYT Acne Pack for US$15.99 at Drugstore.com.

Jergens Shea Butter Cream

Jergens Shea Butter Cream
Shea butter is one of my favorite moisturizers. Not only is it natural, it also softens and soothes while providing skin with antioxidant protection.

This rich skin cream from Jergens with its high concentration of pure African shea butter not only hydrates, it also heals and protects skin from future environmental aggressions.

I took a few tubes of this with me to Bali and after daily sun worshiping, my skin was treated to this luxurious body cream that absorbed easily despite its heavy content. I am a fan of its delicious scent, part cocoa, part mango; it smells great and is a fantastic companion to an end of a heavy day.

With vital vitamins and nutrients, this body cream will restore much needed moisture and improve your skin's natural barrier.

I can't get enough of this and my only regret is not buying enough! Get this for US$6.31 (7.5oz/221ml) at Drugstore.com.


L'Oreal Sublime Bronze, Gradual Self-Tanning Lotion

L'Oreal Sublime Sublime Bronze

I used to be a sun worshiper, so much so that I could be mistaken for a sun whore. After years of basking in the sun and patchy skin and a couple of dark spots later, I have wisen up. I turn to self-tanners now for a post-vacation glow anytime I need it. Besides, the safest tan is a fake one.

I have tried a bunch of self-tanners; all promising color and radiance without looking a carrot stick. Most don't really deliver, some do but not as well as their copywriters believe them to. So I was a bit hesitant and unconvinced when I saw this at the store but I picked it up anyway because it was on sale and I didn't have anything to lose.

I was surprised at how quickly a subtle color developed. It was natural looking and developed in a few hours. The good thing about this is that the color builds up with every application so if you want a deeper, richer color, you apply more frequently. But if you're happy with the outcome after 1 or 2 applications, you simply stop and wait till the color fades.

There was no nasty smell or streaking and the color developed was a light brown one, not orange. I even got compliments on how even my 'tan' looked. I use this on both my face and body. Best time to use this is after exfoliation. What I like also is how it keeps your skin moisturized throughout the day, making this a keeper during the dark, winter months.

I have since finished my bottle but I will be stocking up on more. And with its very affordable price tag, you don't have to think twice.

Get the L'Oreal Sublime Bronze, Gradual Self-Tanning Lotion (6.7oz/200ml) for US$9.99 at Drugstore.com.

Tom's of Maine Natural Deodorant Stick, Unscented With Hops

Tom's of Maine Natural Deodorant Stick, Unscented With Hops

I picked this up 2 years ago at Trader Joe's and I have been using this ever since. With deodorants, I always try to get ones that are as natural as possible. I am not a fan of having chemicals seep through my pits or clog up my sweat glands.

This natural deodorant stick from Tom's of Maine is free from artificial or animal ingredients and aluminum (found in a lot of deodorants on the market today). With extracts of Hops (a botanical ingredient) that inhibits the growth of odor-causing bacteria, this unscented (it's got a very very light citrus smell) deodorant ensures I stay fresh the whole day. Because it is made from natural ingredients, this doesn't irritate your skin which is always a plus point.

I do not have much body hair neither do I sweat a lot and I don't smell (at least no one has ever told me I smelled in whole existence) so I don't need a strong product but if you are a heavy-duty sweat-er, you might not find this to your liking. I live in a country with a humid climate and this serves me well but I know people who sweat buckets in the summer months and alternate between this for indoor activities and something stronger for outdoor ones.

Get this for US$5.49 (2.25oz/64g) at Drugstore.com.


Kiehl's Men's Alcohol-Free Herbal Toner

Kiehl's Men's Alcohol-Free Herbal Toner
Toning is the often skipped step of the grooming regimen and it's not just men who choose to pass on toners. I know women who forgo this after cleansing step too. Toning is quick and easy and will take you only a few seconds. It helps complete the cleansing process and prepares your skin for the next step of serums and moisturizers.

An alcohol-free one is the way to go. I have very oily skin and even though most toners made for very oily skin contain alcohol to combat sebum production, alcohol dries out your skin and is generally harsher.

I've been using this toner on and off for about 1 year now and it was just the other day that I was at the Kiehl's store that I picked another bottle up. What I like is how this calms my skin after shaving. Natural extracts of Great Burdock (helps improve dry skin), Lavender, Ivy, and Allantoin that work together to soothe inflamed, sore skin.

The brown toner has a light, herbal scent and the cool, mentholated effect courtesy of the Corn Mint Oil is a good pick-me-up in the mornings. The Panthenol (Pro-Vitamin B-5) ingredient works to enforce the skin's natural barrier. My skin feels clean and comfortable after every toner use.

This works well for both normal and oily skin. Get this for US$19 (250ml/8.4oz) at Kiehl's.


Philosophy The Microdelivery Peel

Philosophy The Microdelivery Peel
I have thick, oily skin and as such, regular exfoliation is a must for me. Not only does regular exfoliation help get rid of dead skin cells, it also stimulate new cell growth while clearing out pores and pave the way for a more even complexion. 

I love facials only because of face massage part. Facial massages are one of my favorite things in life and if I could, I would give myself one everyday but I can't so sometimes I go have a facial. But I get a glow for a few hours and then nothing. So it's really not worth the 3 figure price tag. So what I do is I have a pre-party home/hotel grooming routine - exfoliate and double masks (what mask depends on the condition of my skin at the point in time). 

So I've been using this awesome microdelivery peel for a couple of weeks now and I have to say that it's my current favorite exfoliator. This is how it works: First apply a teaspoon of Vitamin C crystals to clean dry skin then gently massage it for about a minute. Next, you use a teaspoon of activator and spread it all over your face to cover the crystals and a warm, tingling sensation signals the product activation. Let it sit for 2-3 minutes and then massage again for extra exfoliation benefits. 

So the end result is clear, radiant, smooth skin with less uneven patches and refined pores. My skin felt smoother and softer after the first use and with subsequent use, looked brighter and healthier. The infusion of Vitamin C helps reverse sun damage and perk up your skin tone, making this great for post-beach vacations. 

I use this twice a week or before a party/event - and let's just say the results from this peel doesn't go unnoticed! Get this Philosophy The Microdelivery Peel for US$65 at Beauty.com.
