A Parent’s Guide to Psoriasis in Kids

March 19, 2020 by Kathryn 5 Comments

With a history of eczema in my family, skin conditions are something I’ve learned quite a bit about. And recently, I’ve noticed my youngest has a rough patch or two on his body that may be an indication of one of the more common skin conditions.

Psoriasis is a chronic skin condition that causes the formation of randomly distributed patches or plaques of compacted skin with a flaky or crusty appearance. Although initial outbreaks don’t usually occur until the late teens, up to 30% of sufferers are under ten years of age. There are many symptoms parents should look out for to help obtain an early diagnosis and suitable psoriasis treatment.

Discover the New ATTITUDE Sensitive Skin Care Collection at Special Low Prices Right Now-Giveaway

February 8, 2017 by Kathryn 166 Comments

I’ve always been a big fan of natural products in the house, whether I’m looking for safe and effective cleaning products or bath and body care for my boys. So, when I discovered ATTITUDE last year, I fell in love. The company’s philosophy is simple: parents deserve high-quality products with worry-free ingredients for their families. I’m especially fond of the company’s sun care collection since I don’t care for commercial sunscreen. The mineral-based sun care did a great job of protecting my boys on our Caribbean cruise last year!

But for infants or children that have sensitive skin, even ATTITUDE’s worry-free ingredient lineup may not be enough. Which is why the company has introduced its brand-new ATTITUDE Sensitive Skin Care collection! Boasting products both for babies and families, this new line has been tested in an independent laboratory and received EWG verification and the National Eczema Association seal of acceptance. The addition of up to 3% colloidal oatmeal in the products helps soothe and protect the sensitive skin of babies, children and adults! [Read more…]

Showing Off the Results After Eight Weeks Of Using Olay Regenerist Luminous Skincare

March 31, 2014 by Kathryn 37 Comments

Eight weeks ago I set out on a mission to renew my skin with the help of the new Olay Regenerist Luminous Brightening Cream Cleanser, Tone Perfecting Cream and Dark Circle Correcting HydraSwirl. Within days, my skin was brighter. Two weeks later, my face was smoother and had a healthy glow. And now, after the recommended full eight weeks of the regime, I am ready to share my results!

For me, one of the highlights of this skincare journey was seeing the difference in my skin from committing to using the products twice a day, every day. It’s hard to be consistent sometimes, especially for a busy mom, but I noticed quickly that the effort is well worth it. I’ve come to accept that hormonal breakouts are a part of my life, but when using the Olay Regenerist Luminous products, my breakouts were minimal and healed more quickly. [Read more…]

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!

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!
