2012 SKINCARE FAVORITES

Facial Products

AVON Planet Spa Face Masks (available from the magazine)

I love the whole AVON Planet Spa Face Mask line; my absolute favorites are the ones above. They're easily and quickly applied and work wonders in 10-20 minutes.

African Shea Butter Nourishing Face Mask: really warms up the skin, perfect for winter time. Shea butter highly moisturizes and nourishes the skin and absorbs into the skin very quickly.

Mediterranean Olive Oil Hydrating Face Mask: a real treat for the skin, hydrates and refreshes really well. I also love the smell!

Thailand Lotus Flower Deep Pore Cleansing Face Mask: amazing one for really deep cleansing the pores and always gives my skin that refreshed feel.

Dead Sea Minerals Facial Mud Mask: I call it the Avatar face mask :) it is a mud mask that deep- cleanses, refreshes, and hydrates the skin at the same time.

Body Shop Tea Tree Skin Clearing Lotion (for blemished skin)

No wonder it's a best-selling product, it is amazing! It's a unique non-oily lotion that lightly moisturizes, cleanses, and refreshes the skin. The main ingredient is the tea tree which is beneficial for blemished skin. Before applying makeup, I apply a thin layer of the lotion which immediately starts cooling down and cleansing the skin. It absorbs quickly and leaves my skin feeling refreshed and really smooth. Can't get enough of it!

Greenland Body Scrub

This is a milky body scrub; a gentle and mild exfoliator with such small particles that I tend to rather use the scrub on my face. It contains 200 ml (6.7 fl. oz.) which is a descent amount for a face/body scrub. I really like the Rice Milk & Vanilla one which is a moisturizing scrub; Greenland uses organic ingredients and selects  different types of milk for their conditioning properties (Rice Milk, Almond Milk, Coconut Milk) in their scrubs. 

 Body Products

Garnier Intensive 7 Days Refreshing Gel Cream

Garnier lotions are my all time favorites; this new gel cream formula absorbs very quickly and hydrates the skin very well. 

Garnier Intense Repair Hand Cream

The best hand cream I've ever come across. The cream instantly absorbs into the the skin and deeply moisturizes it. Perfect for everyone with extra dry skin as well.

Hair Products

Pantene Aqua Light Virtually No Weight Shampoo & Spray Conditioner (for fine and greasy hair)

This year's favorite shampoo for me has to be Pantene Aqua Light Virtually No Weight shampoo. I have quite oily roots and my hair really favors the texture of this shampoo. I use it together with the spray conditioner from the same line which gives daily moisture to my hair.

AVON Advance Techniques Moroccan Argan Oil

It's a fantastic leave-in treatment oil that always soften my hair and gives it a super soft feel. Massage one or two pumps of the oil into wet or dry hair, but leave out the roots.
