My Thoughts
I have loved Aveeno products for years, One of the reasons being that I think Jennifer Aniston is just a lovely lady. She has such style and panache and handles' herself with grace. So any company classy enough to choose Jennifer for a spokeswoman peaks me interest. But Aveeno is able to maintain that interest on its own merits. The daily moisturizing sheer hydration lotion is just what it says. You can feel how sheer it is when its going on and once its on then you don't feel it on you skin at all but you can tell its there because your skin feels so soft and silky. And its odor free so you don't have to worry about it clashing with your perfume or bothering your sinuses.

My oldest daughter burns very easily so we always buy sunscreen with a high SPF. We have used Aveeno lotion sunscreen for a while now because it is SPF 30,  it doesn't bother her sensitive skin and she doesn't get burned wearing it.  She can wear it when we go to the lake and not have to worry that its washed off as soon as she gets in the water. And as a bonus, it also hydrates her skin leaving her skin soft to the touch. We all use this lotion since it works so well for her.


I'm a member of the Crowdtap Aveeno rewards program and Aveeno sent me a sample of Sheer Hydration Daily Moisturizing Lotion and Protect + Hydrate Sunscreen to review.

Bioque Cleanser and Refinisher Review

GENTLE PURIFYING SKIN CLEANSER

The purest clean you’ve ever seen

Purifying, clarifying, gently exfoliating cleanser— a lusciously citrus-y, sulfate-free clean

Say yes to Yucca—Get back to nature (and away from stripping chemicals) with the American Indians’ essential secret for clear, beautiful skin—pure Yucca extract. Yucca gently cleanses and purifies skin of contaminants, while also helping to clear acne-prone skin and working as an exfoliator gentle enough for everyday use.
Oh so gentle—Botanically-derived L-Argynine-based amino acid gently foams away the bad stuff without damaging the outer layer of skin.
Ooh la la orange—A touch of orange oil helps to gently cleanse and provides a fabulous, invigorating fragrance.

This purifying paraben/sulfate-free facial wash is the ultimate cleanser for all skin types, and the first step to great looking skin. Use twice daily.

Directions for use*
Use before applying serums, creams, moisturizers and make-up and at the end of the day to remove all traces of grime. Rinse face with lukewarm water. Place a pea-sized amount in palm, lightly rub hands together and smooth over face in gentle circular motions--starting from the bottom and moving upward. Rinse and pat dry.

Acid Free Facial Skin Refinisher
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
provides smoothing exfoliation of discarded skin cells to help to achieve a more youthful appearance. The refinisher is advised to use 1 or 2 times a week and only to use a little amount to avoid unnecessary irritation.

My Thoughts
Thankfully, women in my family have really good skin and we age well. We are often told how we look younger than we are. But I still like taking good care of my skin and am always trying new ways to clean and pamper my face and skin. The Bioque cleanser and refinisher products were so great to try. They both have a light citrus scent. Citrus to me always smells like clean. The cleanser really made my face feel cleaner than usual and it wasn't irritating. This skin refinisher was a very mild abrasives exfoliation. It's suitable for sensitive skin as well. It provides such a deep cleaning and skin feels very supple. I like to use an exfoliant when my skin looks and feels dull. As a side tip, any time I use an exfoliant on my face I also use it on my hands. You would be amazed how much your hands give away your age.

My Thoughts
Have you heard of a derma roller? I hadn't really before now. A derma roller has little needles that poke your skin and cause it to produce collagen. I won't lie, this was a scary item for me to try. The thought of rolling something along my skin that would poke holes was frightening.  They make rollers for your face and body depending on the type of needles. First off, I want to say what a great quality this is made with. I also loved the look of the roller because it was so pretty. Once I started using it, it wasn't nearly as painful as I had expected. Mostly it feels like little tingles in those places. You don't use a lot of pressure. My skin is red so afterwards I put a skin cream on to help calm it down. I also only use it at night so my skin has recovered before I have to go out.  I haven't used it long enough to know how its going to work for me but one of my Facebook friends said her friend used one and it really worked great for her. Here is the no brainer part,

1. You are poking holes in your skin so don't share the roller with anyone else.
2.  Make sure you thoroughly clean the roller before uses and after.
3. Clean your face before using
4. Only use the roller once or twice a week. Give your skin time to heal between uses
5. Use a quality skin cream or serum on your face afterwards for best results. 

How to Clean the derma roller
Step 1: Pour rubbing alcohol into roller container and submerge roller. Let both, roller and container, disinfect in the alcohol for 5 minutes.
Step 2: Pour out rubbing alcohol and run container and roller under hot water.
Step 3: Fill sink with hot water, add a tablespoon of bleach, then place roller and container in. Leave for 5 minutes.
Step 4: Take roller and container out, rinse with cold water, and then dry it off. Place roller back in container.
