Mario Badescu Drying Lotion

mario badescu drying lotion skincare When I first saw this product I thought “no…that can’t be. Can it?  Is that Calamine Lotion in there with the salicylic acid?”  Yes, yes it is.  Let’s take it back a minute to a time when young Jamie was constantly covered in either bug bites or poison ivy because, yeah, that was my reality.  My parents stockpiled Calamine lotion which, by the way, is BRIGHT PINK and, now that I think about it, the fact that I was always covered in pink dots may be a big contributor to my affliction to the color, but I digress. The MARIO BADESCU DRYING LOTION is pretty amazing at not only calming the itch out of mosquito bites (and it DOES do that, trust), but the formulation of calamine mixed with salicylic acid and other acne-fighting ingredients really gets rid of whiteheads FAST.

Kiehl’s Skin Rescuer

kiehls_skin_rescuer

I recently received a bottle of the new Kiehl’s Skin Rescuer and, let me tell you, I’m wowed…once again.  Back in 2006/2007, I suffered from my first bout with acne…adult acne, to be exact, and it was really not fun.  I grew up having perfect skin; seriously, I don’t remember getting a zit EVER until like maybe college (and during my period).  So, naturally, when I found myself breaking out at age 23…I went a little ballistic, which definitely made my skin even more stressed out than it already was from the acne and rosacea combo.

In Kiehl’s studies, they’ve found that skin is actually the first of the body’s organs that stress begins to appear, showing up with signs of redness, fatigue, dehydration, blotchiness and overall visible signs of aging.  The clinical results from testing showed a 100 percent improvement in overall skin quality, when applied in the morning and at night – so easy.  SOLD.
