It's that time of year where we stock up on sunscreen, spritz in our dry shampoo, and slap on a bit of mascara/brow gel/lipstick to run out the door and into the sun.
haaaaaallelujah! It finally feels like summer is around the corner. Here are some fabulous goodies from Neutrogena, Bio Oil, Cerave, Farleyco, etc. that you'll find right now at the drugstore to help refresh your routine and get you ready for summer fun, and travel!
NEUTROGENA® ALL-IN-ONE Make-up Removing Cleansing Wipes Singles $14
I WISH these had come out back in February when I was packing my Bachelorette Survival Kits!!! No worries though, these are making my carry on bag a little bit lighter, and a lot more fabulous. Canada’s #1 facial wipes are *finally* available in SINGLES! Each facial wipe comes individually wrapped, for a fresh and effective wipe every time. Just tear open and unfold a full-size cleansing wipe. Each ultra soft wipe gently dissolves all traces of dirt, oil, and make-up in seconds. The formula is so effective, it easily removes 99% of your most stubborn makeup, even waterproof mascara. These wipes never sting my eyes, and are great for us occasional wipers who find that full-size packages dry up before we can finish them. Prefect for travel, work, the gym, and on the go for complete make-up removal or instant refreshing.
NEUTROGENA® HYDRO BOOST Water Gel Sunscreen $13
This broad-spectrum UVA/UVB sunscreen has a true water-light feel. Not only does it actually add some hydration to my skin, but it's also super refreshing. I apply it in the morning head to toe right after a quick shower. It leaves my skin silky smooth with no white cast or oily residue. It also layers quite seamlessly under makeup, and doesn't cause excessive oiliness on my face. I can re-apply throughout the day and it always feels comfortable. This would be amazing for kids too. Like all of the Neutrogena sunscreens I've reviewed, this is oil-free and non-comedogenic, which means it won’t clog pores!NEUTROGENA® Hydro Boost Hand Gel Cream $9
The Hydro Boost facial products from Neutrogena are true gems at the drugstore, and I've used up their serum and facial cleanser entirely. This brand new hand cream brings their advanced facial hydration expertise, to hand care! The gel-cream formula is ultra-light and packed with Hyaluronic Acid, a molecule capable of holding up to 1000x its weight in water. I'm keeping this tube on my desk at work to help maintain the skin’s moisture balance and lock in hydration during the summer months. It absorbs instantly with a non-greasy, silky feeling.
Bio Oil Dry Skin Gel $10-$25
Bio Oil is a brand I've used religiously in the past to heal aggressive acne scars. For the first time in 30 years, they've developed a new gem for us to enjoy, packed with ultra-hydrating ingredients to soothe dry skin. The Dry Skin Gel is a unique gel-to-oil formula and can be used everywhere on your body. NOTE: a little goes a loooong way, so go easy on applying! There's only 3% water, so one jar will last a while. I used too much the first time, and it felt like the gel was floating on my body. My recommendation is to smooth a quarter-sized dollop of this gel over your entire body right after exiting the shower or bath. It'll lock in hydration, soothe dry patches, reduce ingrown hairs and lighten discolouration. Ideal for your travel bag or vanity, the product comes in three sizes, and the original oil is available in four!
CeraVe Ultra-Light Moisturizing Lotion SPF 30 $15
This lightweight moisturizer has SPF 30 and is geared towards normal to oily skin. In addition to helping prevent sunburn, this oil-free moisturizer includes hyaluronic acid to help the skin retain its natural moisture, as well as ceramides that help reinforce the skin’s barrier. It's awesome for those of us who get oily throughout the day, since the finish is completely matte. It layers under makeup flawlessly and will not break you out. The pump packaging is so sleek, and can be taken in your carry on luggage!
CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser $8
Developed with dermatologists, CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser cleanses and hydrates without disrupting the natural skin protective barrier. This non-foaming lotion, with 3 essential ceramides and hyaluronic acid, gently removes dirt and oil while increasing skin hydration. This is one of my favourite products to use in the morning, in the summer, to remove any gunk from the night and to prep my skin for makeup!
