CREAM OF THE CROP



I was recently given some Borghese Dolce Notte night cream to try. I am not big into creams and lotions, but as I inevitably get older (grrrrr) I think it only wise to give my face a little TLC so none of the tourists here in Florida mistake me for an alligator. Believe me, there are women down here whose skin does look a bit gator-ish after years of exposure and neglect. I don't want to be numbered among them.
My skin is very sensitive, so I was curious what effect it might have on my face. I can honestly say that it's a great product and I am very pleased with the results. The Vitamin A is to correct dryness and dehydration (which is something that I am especially susceptible to this time of year).
It features mallow and comfrey that calm skin and promote cell growth and a patented Acqua di vita complex that sweeps away dullness and impurites with an MPG compound (a gentle alpha-hydroxy derivative.)
 Put this on before bed - it will encourage cell turnover, yet will not clog pores. I was also glad to find that it has a very light, clean scent and is not too heavy or greasy. You can find it here or anywhere that Borghese Cosmetics are available.

Well thank you Anne! I love it when women share their thoughts on good products that they love, and this looks like a good one.
I was reminiscing this evening at TLPC about why I write a blog and the time early on that you contacted me.
I'll never forget your kindness in reaching out to me.
You are the best!

I check out everyone's recommendation, and as I checked this one it was already sold out...must have been real good. Good to see you Anne! xoxo

Christy said...

You've convinced me. I need to get a night time skin routine going, now that I'm taking such good care of my dratted teeth, I should do the same for my blessed skin! :)

Anne I will definitely try this. I love Borghese cosmetics, haven't tried their creams. They used to have an amazing mud mask.

I have been using Econatural Pure Delight Body Butter at night. I like it a lot!

Come and join my gorgeous Giveaway from Splenderosa!

Anne,

Great tip. Everyone is experiencing some new awareness with their skin this winter. I'll have to get a sample to try.

Additional things to do in winter:
• Exfoliate every other night before night cream
• Use a good fade cream during the day (especially in winter we're all pale skinned and the cream doesn't have to compete with summers sun) yielding better results.
• Do a face mask twice a week to treat your beautiful skin

After all this is the month of romance so Love the skin you're in it reflects outward to us all. Big smile...think pretty!
