TerraTints

So I went to my local co-op today and I decided I would try out Alba TerraTints. I'm really weary of anything that describes itself as a tinted lip gloss because it usually doesn't have enough color to show up. My lips are kind of dark already, so this happens a lot. But I was pleasantly surprised with the shade they call "Blaze". This stuff feels good on, makes your lips tingle, its really smooth, has SPF 8, %70 organic, and it looks great! It smells like glycerin soap. Lovely. And it was only $3.99.

Aquaphor

My dermatologist has recommended Eucerin's Aquaphor in the past for smoothing out scars and cuts on skin. I had used it before, but lately I've been reading about it as a winter skin saver. I started using it this week for that purpose - specifically dry skin on my hands and feet. The product is slightly greasy when first applied, so I stick to putting it on before bed and by morning it's been absorbed. Aquaphor is not something I would try to use as a hand cream at the office but for improving dry skin at night it's a winner! Also, the name is appealing for some reason...it makes me feel like it's really promoting healing.
