When you slip on a cashmere sweater or silk pajamas, you immediately know you’re wearing something luxe. And so it was with DermaQuest Daily Enzyme Cleaner and Algae Facial Scrub… The instant my skin was touched by each of these two products, it knew it was in for a real treat.
Founded by award winning cosmeceutical chemist Sam Dhatt, DermaQuest Skin Therapy is a combination of rigorous R&D and state-of-the-art skincare ingredients. DermaQuest’s Daily Enzyme Cleanser is amazingly gentle, and leaves skin feeling squeaky clean and silky soft. The papaya and pineapple extracts not only make the cleanser smell divine, but are a natural way to exfoliate the skin… leaving it invigorated and healthy looking. This product is also excellent for those whose sensitivities to glycolic acid or salicylic acid prevent them from using other cleansers.
I love facial scrubs, and my search for the ultimate extremely-gentle-on-the-healthy-skin but harsh-on-the-dry-skin scrub is like a quest for the holy grail. DermaQuest Algae Facial Scrub utilizes jojoba beads to gently remove dead skin cells while Algae extracts moisturize the skin. Using this scrub didn’t irritate my easily disturbed skin, but was very effective.
DermaQuest Daily Enzyme Cleanser and Algae Facial Scrub both retail for $28 each (and you’ll receive a very healthy 8 oz. size). Online retailers include SkinCareRx and DrSkinSpa. DermaQuest products can also be found in spas and dermatologists offices. You can search for retailers near you using DermaQuest’s online retail locator!
Long story short… these DermaQuest skincare products really make a difference in the health of your skin, and you’ll appreciate that quality during the harsh winter months. Happy cleansing!
In the movie "The Matrix", Morpheus introduced Neo to the rag-tag crew of the Nebuchadnezzar, including a dorky sex-crazed cyber-punk teenager named Cypher who claimed that after a while of staring at streaming Matrix binary code, all he saw was "Blonde, Brunette and Redhead". Funny, but that is how I feel about cosmetics. Sometimes, when I’m looking at product, I immediately think "Oh, this would look AMAZING on a redhead, just not on me." Perhaps the most delightful surprise of each of these Face Palettes by Bella Il Fiore is that, while my first assumption was that they each would favor a certain complexion and hair color, it turns out they are universally flattering colors for anyone to wear!
Jelly Pong Pong’s Chic Shine palette is so tiny, you can stuff a stocking with one in each shade, and still have plenty of room for other treats! 
The more Jane Iredale product I sample, the bigger a fan I become. The gray shade named "Smoky Grey" in this single eyeshadow is just the right color… not too dark and not too light. Jane Iredale’s shadow formula is so incredibly color-rich and blendable I was able to brush this one color onto my lid and blend it upward toward the browbone to create a beautiful smoky eye with just one color! You can’t get much simpler than that.
