Review: Affordable, Quality Skincare

Finding good skincare products can be a bit of a gamble, especially if you have sensitive skin (my skin’s not extremely sensitive, but it can get irritated at times). There’s all kinds of things to take into consideration.

Review: Erno Laszlo Dry Skin Products

Sorry for being MIA folks, I've been pretty sick for awhile. Thankfully, I feel like I'm finally on the mend.

I had 2 Erno Laszlo Dry Skin Products sent to me by a PR rep of the company to try & review (<-See image). So far, I really like what I received. Let me break these down for you.

Top: HydrapHel Skin Supplement (aka Toner) - This toner does several things, such as removing any residual facial cleanser, gently exfoliates by loosening dead skin cells, balances pH so moisturizer is more effective, & more. Many toners contain alcohol, which can be very drying. Thankfully, this one does not. This toner felt refreshing to my skin w/o stripping moisture. My skin likes this.

Bottom: HydrapHel Emulsion SPF 15 (aka Moisturizer) - As stated on the website: "Designed for the driest skin types, HydrapHel Emulsion mimics skin's own natural moisture and brings intensive hydration without irritation." This moisturizer is very rich & creamy & felt soothing on my skin. An issue that I often have w/skincare (& some cosmetics for that matter) is fragrance. Thankfully, this product has a very mild scent that did not give me any problems. Whether it's just a really mild fragrance or just the natural combination of scents from the ingredients, it's fine. I had no issues. Plus, it just felt really nice on my dry skin.

Overall I (or should I say my skin, lol) enjoyed these skincare products. The toner was refreshing & non-drying & the moisturizer was rich, creamy, & soothing.

Have you, my readers, tried their products? What did you think of 'em? Let me know in the comments! :)

I did not pay for these products, they were sent to me to try & review by a representative of the company. This in no way effects my opinions.

Yu-Be Skin Cream

After reading many raving testimonials about Yu-Be, a skin cream from Japan, I was torn between high hopes & skepticism. First of all I should point out that I have tried many creams & lotions, including prescription strength. None of it has ever removed my problem.

Yu-Be has not removed it either, however, it is one of the best I've ever tried! My hands feel smoother & the dry patch on my face is significantly reduced. I've never been a quick healer, perhaps with the passage of time I will see even more improvement. I have to say, the healing of my chapped lips has been nothing short of astonishing (Yes, you can use it on your lips)! My lips are smooth & soft.

Even though my chronic dry skin problems have not completely gone away, I heartily recommend this product for purchase! - Click!
