The Beauty Diaries: eye+ by SkinOwl

I haven't used too many eye creams in my life, but I know that the beauty gurus say to avoid wrinkles even longer, you should start using age defying makeup/treatments while you're in your 20's. Since I have a couple years left, I started using eye+ by SkinOwl. This stimulating eye concentrate is made with Hyaluronic Acid, periwinkle, and licorice to help firm the delicate skin around your eyes for a bright and healthy look. Of course, you'll also find familiar ingredients like cucumber and aloe for an amazing and instant cooling effect.

The Beauty Diaries: derma|e

With the temperatures plugging into the single digits, it's time to break out the hardcore skincare. Lately I've been loving my derma|e Vitamin E Intensive Therapy Body Balm. As soon as I jump out the shower, I make sure I moisturize my skin from head to toe with this super hydrating body cream. The derma|e skincare line is not only good for you, but the environment also. It's free of all the bad stuff like paraben, gluten, GMO, phthalate, petrolatum, and lanolin. On the other hand it's full of the good stuff like Vitamin E, Cranberry Seed and Red Palm Oil which deeply penetrates your skin to leave it feeling amazing.

You can find derma|e products online at dermae.com or at your local CVS.
