I try a LOT of different skincare products - moisturizers, exfoliants, toners; you name it and I've likely tried it or have it on my list. There's some things that have become "holy grail" products, some that I've hated and some that I like but could live without - and I love trying them! If there's one thing I expect and absolutely NEED from a skincare product, it's to have my face feeling fresh and clean after using it. If not, I know it's something I'll never use again. Enter the Clarisonic Mia 2. Obsessed, guys!!

As you may have heard me say before, I've been looking for some great new skincare products in the past couple of months to keep my skin healthy and looking fresh. Especially with the warmer months ahead of us and the time of year that so many of us like to spend out in the sun, keeping your skin healthy, clear and beautiful is so important. I'm so, so happy to have found the Paula's Choice line of skincare products and I was even more excited to have learned that they have so many different products for different types of skin; that made me positive that I would absolutely love this brand.
If you're not looking to spend a fortune on skincare products but want a quality line of skincare that literally will cater to your skin type, Paula's Choice is SO for you. I was so excited when Paula's Choice offered me a skin consultation so I could explain exactly what I was looking for and get the exact products that would help my skin. In the past few weeks that I've been using these products, I've seen a difference in my skin and I've even noticed that my face makeup looks so much more natural which is a serious bonus!

We are in the middle of winter in New York and the absolute worst thing about the freezing temperatures is the way it makes your skin feel. I can't stand how dry my skin always is and how constantly irritated my hands and arms feel! During these harsh months I always change up my daily skin routine to accommodate the cold - and I've found that adding product that has lots of moisturizer really makes a difference in how my skin feels throughout the day.
As you've probably heard me say before, my dream is to move to SoCal in the (hopefully near...) future which will no doubt help improve my winter skin, but until that happens making my skin feel and look as clear, calm and glowing as it does in the middle of July is so important.
My secret ingredient to healthy and glowing winter skin:
The harshest months of winter are just beginning in New York and although we haven't had much of any snow yet and warmer than normal temperatures, it's pretty impossible to even think that we'll get it this good all season long! I've been mentally planning some vacation ideas in my head along with spontaneously booking them as well and all I can think about is sunshine and warmth! I always try and get as tan and make my skin a glowing bronze when I'm away and at home during the summer time too. As I get older though, I've begun to realize how important taking care of my skin is. There are much better ways (and even safer ways) to get glowing skin and keep your skin safe, too. Plus, who wants to age faster? Not me!
Something most of us fail to realize is how important keeping our skin healthy, hydrated and sun-safe is. I know I do and that's why this year I'm pledging to protect my skin with the Your Skin Is In program run by the Melanoma Foundation.
