It’s no secret to anyone who has ever met me (even once) that I am a lover of products. Where I will never have elective plastic surgery or put a needle to my face (personal choice), I will try any cream or serum known to man. Here are a couple of my favorites this year:
Ceramiracle – First Light, The Serum – Ceramiracle.com – $89
This Serum is a phytosqualane based 95% active beauty concentrate containing natural actives inspired by the vernix caseosa – the thick, white wax-like substance that coats babies for weeks before they are born. The Serum mimics the intense hydration and skin nourishing and protective properties of the vernix to bring back baby soft skin. For all skin types, and just a few drops will instantly revitalize skin, refresh and smooth your complexion. Use it on its own or with a moisturizer for firmer, radiant, toned and younger looking skin.
