Self-Care Tips & Tricks
Tackling KP
I cannot remember a time that I did not have keratosis pilaris, or KP. When my dermatologist said it's permanent, I was disappointed, yet challenged. I have since tried a laundry list of creams and scrubs to lessen or reduce the effects, namely:
Amlactin Daily Nourish Lotion
Bliss Body Butter Texture Takedown
Eucerin Intensive Repair Body Lotion
Urea Cream 40%
Fur KP Body Scrub
Ultimately, the following combination has provided the best results: Soft Services Buffing Bar followed by La-Roche Lipikar Urea 10% Roughness Smoothing Lotion
Some of My Favorite Things
I am obsessed with being moisturized, especially on my lips. I am late to the Laneige party but I have finally found my favorite lip treatment. It's an overnight mask but I still use it throughout the day.
eyebrow cure
As I have aged my brows went from crazy and thin to damn near non-existent. I am contemplating the tattoo route. This pencil from Loreal saves the day in the meantime.
There are also good temporary tattoo options. Here is one I recommend.
hair essential
All Cecred products are fantastic but this tops them all in my book. It moisturizes, seals, holds and defines.
face battles
The decline in estrogen post menopause reaks havoc, notably on our faces. This cream thoroughly soothes the skin from plucking, dermaplaning, and the other routine tortures we endure.
