Slowly but surely the MidLife-Beauty Advisory Board is getting into gear. Today we have tips on skin care from two members:
Laurie recommends a hand and body lotion called DermaDaily which she found on-line. She says it’s a terrific skin moisturizer with aloe vera gel that is latex-free and gives long lasting protection. According to the company that makes it, DermaRite Industries LLC located in Patterson, New Jersey, the product replenishes and enriches the skin’s own natural oils and comes in sizes from 4 oz to 1 gallon.
Laurie also recommends Crabtree & Evelyn’s Nantucket Briar Hand Therapy. This, according to some, is Crabtree & Evelyn’s most popular product line. Laurie loves it not just for what it does for her hands–it’s got shea butter in it–but for how terrific it smells, thanks to the bergamont, ambergris, wild briar rose and vanilla notes.
Wendy decided she had to attack those things that when we were young and cute were called freckles; now, however, they’ve become the more dour age spots (which is better than my mother’s day when they were called “flowers of death”). These things–whatever you call them–are starting to show up on her arms. She got an over-the-counter lightening cream from Ulta–Reviva Labs Brown Spot Night Cream–and says rubbing the hydroquinone-based formula on the spots is definitely fading them.
A jar of the stuff, which incidentally neither contains nor is tested on animals, is made in the U.S. costs $10.99.
