Skin Care

I use these products on repeat because they are effective and budget friendly.  The Glycolic acid is great for skin renewal and brightening a dull complexion and the Niacinamide smooths and add a little moisture.   The RoC roll on retinole keeps my neck smooth and is easy to use each night.  I roll it on the backs of my hands too.

Don't overlook your neck and hands. They need care too. Roc roll on retinol easy to apply and keeps your neck smooth. I roll it on the back of my hands at night and wear sunscreen or gloves when I am out walking in the morning.  RoC retinol help with skin renewal and makes them look less wrinkled.

Love this for easy make up removal even with waterproof mascara.  You don't have to scrub your delicate eye area and risk damage.  I get the travel size to take with me on business trips and have never had an issue with leakage from the bottle.

Love the way this makes my  over 50 skin feel and look. It feels moisturized after and looks really glowy. It does not leave a residue in my shower and the smell is light.

I use this several times a week especially when using my retinol cream which tends to dry me out. It is lightweight and easily absorbs into my skin.

This really removes the make up and impurities from my skin. It leaves my skin soft and hydrated. It gently removes make up from my sensitive eye area.

This is elevated skin care. I can see visible differences in the dark circles around my eyes within a few days of using it. A little goes a long way and the special product delivery system keeps it sanitary. I love this stuff.

I absolutely love this serum. I use it before I plan to have a skin treatment and then for a few days after. It hydrates and leaves my skin looking dewy and healthy even without makeup.

My favorite lipstick brand. I love the Ruby Woo shade.  It is a nice red on most skin tones.
