Dr. Denese HydroShield Hydrating Dream Cream

hydration, hydration, hydration. it should be a top priority when caring for your skin, no matter the season. this past spring season, i was given the opportunity to try HydroShield Dream Cream from Dr. Denese. you could only imagine my excitement. i mean, i watch QVC-- i know who Dr. Denese is and how much women love her products! needless to say, i was eager to discover for myself what so many women rave about.



to my surprise, i really fell in love with this skincare gem. it's creamy and rich in texture, but feels sooo light on the skin. it absorbs like a dream (no pun intended!) and always left my skin looking good, thanks to all of its yummy-for-skin peptides, retinol and ceramides.

Dream Cream became one of my absolute favorite moisturizers, for the better part of the summer at least. sadly, i ran out (*tear*). so, i've been without it now for over 2 months (!). it's taken a lot for me to not order myself a new jar, but i'm currently testing out another line of skincare right now and don't want to hinder that program (oh, the dilemmas of being a beauty blogger, huh? LOL).


sadness over my empty jar...

in any case, i highly recommend Dream Cream. i can't wait to have it back in my skincare lifestyle again!

product featured sent to me for review consideration.

Dr. Denese SPF 30 Eye Defense Cream

daily sun protection is a must. adding a bit extra around the delicate eye area can be irritating. thanks to Dr. Denese, now adding extra sun protection around the eyes without irritation is possible with her SPF 30 Defense Eye Cream. it not only treats the skin around the eyes with peptides*, but also conceals and protects skin from harmful uv rays.



the silky texture of this eye cream goes on smoothly and can be applied on the eyelid in addition to under and around the eye (because i was wearing makeup, i show it applied under my eye). the color is a light beige, but as it is promised, the color adjusts, so it acts much like a lightweight concealer. i found it blended in easily and made my eyes looks more rested. this is definitely a must-have!

Dr. Denese SPF 301 Eye Defense Cream can be found on qvc.com and drdenese.com

Dr. Denese Shares How To Keep Your Summer Glow

the end of summer is upon us (can you picture me doing a happy dance? ha!), and i'm here to share some tips that i received on how to keep your fabulous sunkissed-glow from renowned skincare specialist and anti-aging expert, Dr. Adrienne Denese. she has four steps that will maintain your hard-earned radiance, and it's very simple-- all you'll have to do is exfoliate, moisturize, bronze and protect, and you’ll be looking like you just stepped off the beach for months to come!




step 1: exfoliate

"it is important to get rid of dead skin cells; they are what make your skin look dead and old. they have a rough texture so they block out skin’s natural radiance and that natural glow. if you self tan, you need a freshly exfoliated canvas. otherwise the self tan will come out to be blotchy. this applies for face and body alike. many of us use minimal make up in the summer so we can’t hide dull, sallow, tired looking skin anymore.

step 2: moisturize

"in the summer it is very important to protect the skin from dehydration which kills skin cells. air conditioning is one of your skin’s worst enemies. it takes out the humidity in the hair and dries your skin. you must protect your skin from moisture loss which damages skin by moisturizing once a day."

step 3: bronze

few of us realize that every real sun tan we get during the summer will translate into several actual permanent lines on our face. try a non streak self-tanner. some self tanners are so advanced and so different from all other self tanners on the market that it truly gives you the look of an actual tan."

step 4: protect

"all dermatologists would agree that the single worst enemy of your skin is the sun. nearly everything that you do not like about your skin: lines, wrinkles, age spots, enlarged pores, loss of firmness, red capillaries on your nose and cheek, loss of elasticity, all has to do with cumulative sun exposure. Daily SPF 30 broad spectrum protection is imperative, even if it rains.
