Get Smooth Summer Skin with 4 Simple Steps from Nair

July 15, 2015 by Kathryn 1 Comment

After such a long cold winter, summer is finally here! In fact, in Saskatchewan we’re in the middle of a heat wave that’s been going on for almost a month. And believe me, in a province that sometimes has snow on the ground for a full nine months, I am not complaining!

The warm weather means that I’ve pulled out all my favourite cute skirts, dresses and shorts to help keep cool, and so soft, smooth legs are a priority for me at the moment. Luckily, these tips from Nair make it easy to enjoy smooth skin all summer long!

Exfoliate

If this isn’t part of your shower routine, it should be. Exfoliating not only gets rid of dry, flakey skin, it also helps skin to look fresh and prepares it for the next step. [Read more…]

Protect Your Lips from the Cold with New Softlips Watermelon Lip Conditioner-Giveaway

December 2, 2013 by Kathryn 187 Comments

Saskatchewan winters are cold, snowy, windy and, more than anything, dry. And that dry cold wreaks havoc on my skin and hair each and every year. I can put up with dry skin and hair if need be, but the one thing I simply can’t tolerate is dry, cracked lips. And in this province, that means that I need lip balm in my pocket as soon as the first snowflakes start to fall.

I have a few favourite brands, but one I hadn’t tried, despite its wide popularity, was Softlips. So when I got the chance to review the brand new Softlips Watermelon Lip Moisurizer, I couldn’t resist. Softlips Lip Moisturizer is enriched with Vitamin E and contains SPF 20 to help protect lips against the elements.

Enjoy Brighter, Healthier Skin this Winter with the KORRES Wild Rose Collection-Giveaway

November 28, 2013 by Kathryn 130 Comments

Finding the right skin products is a constant challenge for me, partially because my skin is constantly changing! I deal with hormonal breakouts all year long as well as the typical aging concerns of a woman in her thirties. But winter brings added challenges such as dryness and dull skin. No wonder finding the perfect skincare products is so hard!

So when I learned about the KORRES Wild Rose skincare line, I couldn’t wait to try it out. This luxurious line features wild rose oil, a natural source of vitamin C, which helps brighten skin, moisturize and improve skin texture. I received cleanser, moisturizing cream, face and eye serum and brightening eye treatment to test out and I was so eager to see what kind of a difference it would make in my skin.

I loved the Wild Rose Daily Brightening & Refining Buff Cleanser, which instantly brightened my complexion by gently sloughing away dead skin cells. I followed with the Face and Eye Serum, which promised to brighten my face and smooth fine lines with an ultra-concentrated Vitamin C formula. It took about a week before I started to notice a difference with this serum, but after regular use my skin looked softer and healthier with a great glow! The Wild Rose 24-Hour Moisturizing and Brightening Cream was the perfect way to ensure my skin was protected against the harsh winter weather, but I only used it in the morning since moisturizing creams often cause me to break out. Using it once a day nourished my skin without weighing it down too much.

I also loved using the Wild Rose Instant Brightening Eye Treatment as a primer before applying eye makeup. The cream is designed to sooth and nourish the delicate eye area while rose-toned optical brighteners add instant luminosity to eyes. I loved how much more alert I looked after applying the product!

To help you refresh and brighten your look, KORRES is offering an amazing giveaway! One lucky Mommy Kat and Kids reader is going to win a KORRES Wild Rose Collection prize pack featuring Wild Rose Face and Eye Serum, Wild Rose 24-Hour Moisturising and Brightening Cream, Wild Rose Daily Brightening Buff Cleanser, Wild Rose Instant Brightening Eye Treatment and Jasmine Shower Gel, a $185 value! To enter to win, just leave a blog comment about your biggest skin concern.

The KORRES Wild Rose products make a perfect gift for a special woman that would love brighter, healthier skin this winter and are a great way to spoil yourself too!
