Bye-Bye Dry!

/

In the dead of winter, my skin is suffering. It is dry - very dry. Almost parched in places. Yuck. But I have found a few great new products that are helping my skin recover nicely

First, I am thrilled with the new FACE from Sephora. The FACE Exfoliator & Mask ($12) for dry skin along with their Milky Makeup Remover ($8) have literally saved my skin these last few days of bitter cold and dryness. The makeup remover is so smooth and it is instantly soothing to my dry skin. And it removes every last trace of makeup. Follow that with the Exfoliator & Mask, which can be used either way, and the pink gel turns to liquid as it exfoliates without granules and spontaneously seals the moisture in.

For some other parched parts, I have been slathering on Bombshell Bargains new Hand & Body Lotion ($13.27) in Dreamsicle. Forget that this lotion smells good enough to eat, it moisturizes my over-dry legs with just a small bit.  And right now, with every order over at Bombshell Bargains, you will recevie a 1 oz. sample of this nice lotion.

Clinique hired a prominent dermatologist, Dr. Norman Orentreich of Manhattan, to help develop the line. It outfitted its sales force in pristine white lab coats and installed them at cosmetics counters where they diagnosed the skin types of customers. Even its name carried a clinical aura.

But now Clinique has gone one step further in aligning itself with therapeutic imagery — and in the process has raised the ante for beauty companies seeking affiliations with doctors.
