When it comes to skincare - I look for the most
basic and
gentle. Something that will get the job done while leaving no yuckies behind (can you tell I'm a mom?). Why? Because if my college biology classes taught me anything, it's that not a lot of what you slap on your epidermis is really going to matter (with the exception of SPF). Very few things penetrate your dermis, which is where wrinkles occur. But I'll save that lesson and some recommendations on stuff that does get to your dermis for another day.
The Body Shop Aloe Skincare line is my all time
favorite. This line just works. It says "for sensitive skin" all over it - but I would recommend it for almost anyone. The entire line is
free of preservatives, dyes, soap and fragrance. Aloe is nature's healing agent and the oat extract in these products provide antioxidant protection while soothing stressed out skin. I recommend this to a lot of brides who's skin is going crazy due to stress. The line has cleansers, toner, moisturizers, body butter, serums, eye creams, masks.....and the list goes all the way to deodorant. The Aloe Cooling Body Gel is great to keep in the fridge for burns (boo-boo juice as my kids would call it) or for when you feel like your skin is stressed. I love it all - don't make me pick - but if you need recommendations let me know. Click
