Crabtree & Evelyn Aromatherapy Distillations Revitalizing -Conditioning Body Lotion

Very Very Fragrant

I loved the fact that there were no parabens, mineral oil, synthetic fragrance, colorants, propylene glycol, sodium lauryl or laureth, sulfates in the lotion. Crabtree & Evelyn is a wonderfully luxurious brand, and this fragrant lotion is an excellent addition to your moisturizing routine. It contains coconut oil (which I often use alone) to restore suppleness and smooth your skin. Makes a great stocking stuffer!

DDF Protect and Correct

Looks promising, but...

Unfortunately, my skin does not respond well to products with sunscreen in them. I do best with natural sunscreens like Zinc in PTR powder or mineral makeup form. That being said, I do think this product would work for someone a bit older with hyperpigmentation. Maybe I will give it to my mom.

Bliss Triple Oxygen Self-Activating Facial With O2 Molecules

Alka-Seltzer for your Face!

This baby comes in a super chic-Bliss white pump packaging, and starts off as a shimmering pink, slighly citrusy gel. Then, with a quick swipe, it foams up like shaving cream and you can spread it all over your face, neck, wherever! You are supposed to leave it on for 5 minutes to get the full effect of the vitamin C, free-radical resisting, oxygenating foam. During that five minutes, an awesome, tingling, alka-seltzer sensation goes on... waking up your skin cells! The packaging says to use a maximum of 3x weekly, and there is no need to leave the product on any longer than 5 minutes because that is as long as it takes for all the oxygen to release. Basically, when it stops fizzing and seems to sink in to your skin, wash it off. As for results, I am yet to notice anything dramatic. But it just feels so cool on that I enjoy using it anyway. Since it is more of a perky mask than a treatment mask, I would suggest doing this as an addition to your morning routine. It really is like a "breath of fresh air" for your face! Worth $52? I'm not so sure, but for a fun pick-me-up it's definitely worth a shot.
