2011 Skincare Favorites

I can't believe that 2011 has already passed. The year went by ridiculously fast, which means I'm sure 2012 will too. Scary! In any case, since this blog and my youtube channel are just starting out, I thought I would wrap up the year with a series of 2011 Favorites. That way when I do monthly favorites in 2012, they won't have to be super long because I'll only mention new or re-discovered products. 


The first in this series is my Skincare favorites. 

1. Soap & Glory Hand Food - This lotion is nongreasy with a very light, fresh scent. Best hand lotion I've ever used!
2. Soap & Glory The Greatest Scrub of All - A relatively affordable (about 17 dollars a bottle) exfoliator that really gets the job done. Once in a routine, you only have to use it about twice a week. 
3. Cetaphil Daily Moisturizer - This awesome moisturizer can be found at Walgreens and other drug stores, as well as in Target I believe. I've tried the Neutrogena version of this, but it didn't really work well for me. 
4. Philosophy Purity - This sucker isn't exactly cheap, but it takes a long time to go through the product. Plus, it's great for sensitive skin and can be used for a number of different things. Ask for a sample at Sephora!
5. Bliss Steep Clean  facial mask - If you have sensitive skin but want to try out a mask, this is a great option. It doesn't tingle and doesn't sting, but leaves your skin feeling fresh and clean. My face has been wonderful and clear for a while, and this is part of my skincare regimen.
6. Lush Tea Tree Toner - This organic, all natural toner is another great product for sensitive skin. It doesn't leave your skin dry or tight, and is actually really refreshing. 
7. Clindamycin Phosphate Gel - If you have Acne and nothing seems to be doing the trick, go to your doctor and have them write you a prescription for something... what have you got to lose!
