Drugstore Skincare Product Of The Week: Nivea Moisturizing Body Wash Care Almond Oil Hibiscus Scent.

Nivea is one of my favorite brands for drugstore body care, their  body products are hydrating and just the perfect amount of scent. I started using the almond oil and hibiscus scent moisturizing body wash, and my skin loves it!  

It is formulated with Nivea's Hydra IQ Technology and Almond Oil, to intensely moisturize your skin, but without the greasy feel. Priced under $5, I have compared it to more expensive body washes and if not equally better its very close. 

What I like to do for extra dewy soft skin is to apply it with just my hands, like a lotion. Then I rinse it with cool to cold water. I pat dry my skin. I come out and hydrate with lotions and or oil to lock in the moisture. My skin has been so soft and hydrated this winter, I am so happy to have a budget friendly routine that works for my super dry skin.

• Mary Kay Satin Hands Trio was probably my second purchase after The Body Shop, its a classic. The Mary Kay lady did a demo using this and somehow lured me in to hosting a Mary Kay party and joining her pyramid scheme..... Well that didn't end well, but I still to this day love it and use it. The 3-step routine works so good on cracked dry hands.

The Ultimate Skincare Gift Set For Under $30

Kiehls is known for great skincare products but I never really thought of them when seeking out Christmas gifts on a budget but that all changed! 

I went to Saks the other day and while helping my husband pick out a new face wash I came across this gift set and many others. This one was a no brainer priced only $29 and it comes with one of my all time favorite body lotions so I figured if I didn't like anything atleast I'll have that. 

This gift set is definitely a must and I LOVE everything in it! The cleanser is the only thing I have been washing my face with and I can't believe I had never tried it before. It will be replacing my old cleanser for sure. 

Overall I rate this a 10 for either gift giving or for yourself. It's definitely a feat way to try out products at a lower cost. The products are all very rich and hydrating best for normal to dry skin. 

Set Contains:
• Ultra Facial Cleanser (2.5 oz) 
• Ultra Facial Cream (0.25 oz) 
• Creme de Corps (2.5 oz)
• Ultimate Strength Hand Salve (1.0 oz) 
• Lip Balm #1 (0.5 oz)

This Winter Get More Beautiful Skin And Hair/ Este Invierno Obtengan Una Piel Mas Hermosa Y cabello Mas Saludable!

I dont know about you, but I was not excited about winter this year. However I find that I am so much more motivated to work out, try out new skin treatments and let my hair rest. Below is a list of things that are better to do in the cold season.

• Try a new skin care routine, your skin probably feels drier and tighter.  The skin needs more moisture and richer so the light-oil free products might not be sufficient. 

• Add Retinol to your skin care. They're great for wrinkles and acne, but sun exposure can cause photosensitivity, so winter is best time to test them out but don't forget you still need to apply sunscreen. 

• Grow your hair! Taking supplements like biotin  may help... but they may also stimulate body-hair growth! so try them in the winter when you are no bare-legged or sleeveless. 

• Try a darker hue! Darker hair color looks healthier. 

Good Luck! Xxx

No sé sobre usted, pero estoy muy emocionada por el invierno. Me parece que estoy mucho más motivados a trabajar, probar nuevos tratamientos para la piel y mi cabello. A continuación se muestra una lista de las cosas que son mejor que hacer en la temporada fría.

• Probablemente la piel se te sienta bien apretada y seca es importante reemplazar su cuidado de piel con lociones mas ricas e hidratantes. 

• Agregar Retinol a su cuidado de la piel. Son excelentes para las arrugas y el acné, pero exposición al sol puede producir fotosensibilidad, de manera que es el mejor momento para ponerlas a prueba.
• Haga crecer su cabello! Tomar suplementos como la biotina y Viviscal puede ayudar... pero también pueden estimular crecimiento del vello corporal. Pruébelas en invierno, cuando no se usa pantalones cortos. 
• Pruebe con un tono más oscuro en su pelo. Color de pelo más oscuro parece más saludable.

Buena suerte! Xxx
