Give Your Skin an Extra Boost: MyChelle's Fruit Enzyme Hydrating Mist

Give Your Skin an Extra Boost: 

MyChelle's Fruit Enzyme Hydrating Mist

This time of year, my combo skin goes from combo-dry to combo-oily. While my skin does seem to have more natural oil this time of year, it still needs moisture. However, I don't want to add heavy moisturizers. Instead, I like to give my skin that extra boost of hydration with a hyaluronic acid serum or gel moisturizer and the addition of a Hydrating Mist. This Fruit Enzyme Hydrating Mist from MyChelle is an awesome extra step after cleansing and before moisturizer or sunscreen. Plus, it is so refreshing and soothing to use! 

MyChelle Fruit Enzyme Hydrating Mist:

This mist works to instantly refresh and boost your skin’s moisture level while also working to diminish the appearance of fine lines due to dryness. The formula is enriched with powerful Antioxidants including Turmeric and Vitamin C-rich superfruit Mangosteen to help provide anti-pollution benefits. 

How I Use:

In the mornings, I apply the MyChelle Fruit Enzyme Hydrating Mist immediately after cleansing my face and before applying my MyChelle Sun Shield SPF 28 Unscented (my current Holy Grail Facial Suncreen-I love it!!!). In the evenings, I like to use this amazing mist after cleansing my face and before application of moisturizers or treatment products. To use, I just spray onto my hands and then gently pat onto my face. You could also spray this directly on your face. However, for some reason, I always like to apply sprays with the hand-pat method. 

This product can also be used as a setting spray or as a mid-day skin refresher for a boost of moisture or hydration. It is just one of those products that gives that extra boost to your skin that makes a difference in how your skin looks and feels. 

Like all MyChelle products, this Fruit Enzyme Hydrating Mist is made without GMO, Gluten, Parabens, Petroleum, Phthalates, Silicones, Sulfates, Ureas, Artificial Fragrances, and Artificial Colors. Vegetarian. Cruelty-free.

I highly recommend this amazing mist and the whole MyChelle line! These products work great for my somewhat sensitive 40-something skin.

L’OCCITANE Immortelle Precious Collection: 

Fight Early Signs of Aging with the Power of the Immortelle Flower

It is time for a skincare update! Lately, I am loving using the combination of L'Occitane's Immortelle Precious Intense Cleansing Foam with the Immortelle Precious Mist as part of my cleansing skincare routine. These Immortelle Precious products from L'Occitane leave my skin feeling cleasnsed and refreshed wihout over-drying nor irritating my somewhat sensitive skin. Plus, I get an anti-aging boost from the power of the Immortelle flower. 

L’OCCITANE's Immortelle Precious product range harnesses the exceptional  anti-aging powers of  the immortelle flower. The Immortelle  Precious product range was created specifically to target emerging fine lines and early onset wrinkles; this anti-aging collection helps hydrate and nourish  skin to reveal its youthful glow and natural radiance.

The core ingredient in this collection is a complex patented blend of immortelle cell extract and  essential oil, This formula took years to develop and it boasts a high concentration of active  molecules to target fine lines and emerging wrinkles for more youthful-looking results.

Immortelle Precious Intense Cleansing Foam ($32):

Enriched with organic immortelle floral water and sunflower seed oil, this ultra-rich cleansing foam  lathers to a dense texture to gently help purify the face for clean and fresh skin. Use morning and night to damp skin. Just massage and then rinse off.

I love the dense foam texture of this cleanser! I honestly just love the feel of using this to cleanse my skin. It works great to remove all traces of dirt and debris from my skin as well as removing my makeup! If I have very heavy makeup on (which is rare), I use a makeup remover first. However, for everyday makeup, this cleanser alone removes all traces. 

Immortelle Precious Mist ($16):
Comprised of organic immortelle floral water and soothing chamomile oil, this refreshing, ultra-light  and alcohol-free mist gives skin a much-needed hydration boost as it helps moisturize and revitalize  the face and body.

I like giving my skin a mist of the Immortelle Precious Mist after cleansing my face. I just spray it on my hands and tap it onto my face. You can also use this mist throughout the day to refresh and hydrate your face. In addition, you can use it to set your makeup.

Have you tried the Imortelle Precious Collection from L'Occitane? I would love to hear your thoughts on the other products. I would love to try more from this collection!

Every Day and Travel Must-Have: evian® Facial Spray

Affiliate Link Press Sample 

Sometimes Simple is Best!

I can't believe that I have not raved about this product before. Well, it is time! :) I have honestly had a can of evian® stocked at my vanity for the past few years. It is so simple: It is just a can of evian® water with a super fine mist. It is so perfect for "setting" my makeup or just to refresh my face. I love the big can for my vanity and the small can for travel or my purse. It really is refreshing to mist my face during the day. Plus, if you are traveling on an airplane, misting your face is a great way to combat the dry air in an airplane.

evian® Facial Spray: About evian® Facial Spray:

The exquisitely fine mist produced by evian® Brumisateur® penetrates and rehydrates the upper layers of the skin. evian® water has a unique mineral balance along with exceptional purity which suits all skin types, even the most sensitive. Leaves skin looking healthy and feeling refreshed. Dermatologically tested. The leak-proof canister is the ideal product to take on-the-go in any purse or travel bag. Unlike other water sprays, Evian Spray is sealed at the source, so it can not be contaminated. 

How I Use:
Let me share with you my favorite way to use evian® Facial Spray, I simply mist a fluffy stippling brush after I am all finished with my makeup and then tap the damp brush onto my skin. I am a big fan of wearing a light dusting of powder foundation on a day-to-day basis. This method using evian® Facial Spray takes the "powdery" look away and leaves a super natural finish! If I don't use this method, I just lightly spray directly on my face.

Are you a fan of evian® Facial Spray? If so, tell me how you use it! :)

Thanks for reading!

My Skin Loves: Kate Somerville's Nourish Hydrating Firming Mist and ExfoliKate® Gentle Exfoliating Treatment

 Affiliate Link Press Sample

It is time for an update in my "My Skin Loves" blog series! Now, you all may know that finding great skincare is one of the driving forces behind my blog. I am on an absolute quest to find the best skincare out there for my skin type and specific skincare concerns. I think that good skincare is the foundation of a great beauty routine. I have found that there are just certain brands that work for my skin. Kate Somerville is certainly amongst my Top 5 Skincare Brands. So, I am always excited to explore the line and try out new products! 

My Skin:

Before diving into my review, lets talk a bit more about my skin type and skincare concerns. My skin is "classic combo" skin in that it is normal to dry in the Winter and normal-oily in the Summer. My t-zone area is where I get a bit of oil and I occasionally get a breakout or two around my chin or nose. I am in my early 40s. So, preventing aging is a primary concern. I am lucky in that I have no major signs of aging yet. Just some fine lines around my eyes and mouth area (more pronounced when my skin is dehydrated). My skin is also quite sensitive. So, I need to be super careful with aggressive anti-aging formulas, chemical sunscreens, highly scented products, and abrasive ingredients.

For this review, I tried out Kate Somerville's Nourish Hydrating Firming Mist and ExfoliKate Gentle. to find out more about how I liked these products and how they worked for my skin, please click "read more" below!

I have long been a fan of facial mists. You can use them for so many things. But most of all, I just like them because they feel so refreshing!

Some common uses for Facial Hydrating Mists:

• freshening your face during the day
• adding hydration during air travel
• cooling your face after a workout
• cooling and hydrating your face while at the pool or beach (just keep in your cooler for a refreshing/cooling mist!)
• making powder makeup look more natural (spray when makeup is finished and pat on with brush)
