Who I turn to for an instant glow and plumping. 2 old favorites I’ve been using this week.
Ole Henriksen Truth Creme Advanced Hydration – I think this is one of the best moisturizers ever made for normal skin. So hydrating and soothing. Makes my skin glow immediately. Still glowing the next morning. Gives it antioxidant protection as well as lipid nourishment.
It’s a simple moisturizer (medium-light weight) in simple packaging, but it does a better job than most moisturizers I have tried. At $45, this is a great value! My only wish is to see this packaged differently (in an airtight, opaque pump).
If you have dry skin or the air is dry, you’ll need to layer other products with this for extra moisture (serums, another moisturizer, or an oil).
M2 Skin Recovery Moisturizer – A brand that is not well-known but has a devoted following. This line is known for its Mandelic Acid, a terrific gentle AHA. Great for clearing pores and preventing breakouts, due to its anti-bacterial properties. Hydrating at the same time.
I use Skin Recovery Moisturizer in 3 scenarios:
- Once every couple weeks to gently exfoliate my skin.
- Whenever I see mild congestion or blackheads on my skin – it clears it up right away.
- After a breakout – it speeds up healing.
Like Ole, this cream also gives me a glow and plumps up my skin.
