Hi lovelies!

In Hollywood, everyone knows the #1 key to youthful, glowing skin is to keep it well hydrated. If your skin feels like it’s one size too small, you’re most likely suffering from dehydration.

Sephora has a quick way to determine if you’re dry: Lay your finger just above the jaw line extending it toward your chin. Then gently glide your finger upward toward the cheekbone. If you notice any sort of crepiness to your skin texture as you move your finger up your face, your skin is parched.

Treat it to a drink of moisture with any one of these ultra-hydrating treatments. YUM!

**All can be found at your local Sephora or online at www.Sephora.com

Clinique Moisture Surge: Extended Thirst Relief- (1.7oz: $34.00, 2.5 oz: $46.50)

I just started using this, and I LOVE it!! You can apply it whenever your skin needs a drink – even over makeup! Perfect for air travel!

What it is: A light, comfortable cream/gel that plumps skin with hydration for a full 24 hours. Fine lines, flakiness and tightness are washed away. In their place—a sense of supple, firm, vibrant well-being, even through shifts in humidity. One ‘drink’ and skin looks and feels happier, healthier.

*Every day pollution, stress, climatic conditions, air travel, and of course, lack of fluids in the system can cause dehydration.

HOPE IN A JAR for dry sensitive skin- $38

This “Hope in a Jar” was Voted Sephora’s best-selling moisturizer and one of Oprah Winfrey’s top 10 favorite things!

What it is: This soothing essential suits even the most irritated and reactive complexions. It helps relieve dryness and improves the skin’s natural moisture balance. Immediately effective comforting properties especially benefit traumatized, allergy-prone, thin, aging, sun-sensitive, tight, and dehydrated skin types.

*When skin is dehydrated it becomes uncomfortable, more sensitive, and loses its radiance.

NUDE SKINCARE Intense Moisture Mask, $60

When skin is looking extra dull, give it a quick boost with this intensive moisture mask!

What it is: A deeply nourishing mask for intensely dry or delicate skin. Nude Intense Moisture Mask relieves, nourishes, and moisturizes skin, leaving it beautifully soft, supple, and revived for an instantly beautiful complexion.

*Often, fine lines around the eyes and mouth are a sign of dehydration, rather than aging.

BOSCIA Intensifying Moisture Pack + – $30

This one’s definitely on my “to-buy” list with yummy ingredients like aloe leaf and jojoba leaf!

What it is: This multi-action moisture infusion, containing a nutrient-rich marine complex and comforting aloe leaf, instantly energizes dry, stressed complexions. Organic jojoba leaf, a powerful antioxidant, and willowherb, a unique anti-irritant, help soothe sensitivities and protect your skin from environmental damage.

Antiaging amino acids, serine and alanyl-glutamine, replenish intense hydration while promoting vital skin cell rejuvenation for softer, younger-looking skin. Ideal for all skin types, including sensitive skin.

*Skin becomes more dehydrated in the fall and winter months, so be sure to moisturize daily and treat your skin to an extra hydrating treatment once a week if really dry!

FRESH Rose Face Mask, Hydrating Mask with Rose Petals, $55

I LOVE this one by FRESH- One of my all-time faves! I can exfoliate and apply at night and wake up with super plump rehydrated skin – It’s sooo yummy!!

What it is: A hydrating and toning gel mask that contains real rose petals.  It restores suppleness and radiance to the skin. The first-of-its-kind formula contains real rose petals that literally melt into your skin.

The formula contains 50% pure rose floral water and is enriched with cucumber extract, rose oil, aloe vera, and porphyridium cruentum (a “smart” algae that seeks out the areas of your skin that needs moisture the most). WOW!

Ok all my fresh-faced beauties, be sure to help these treatments along by drinking plenty of water, eating your veggies and replenishing electrolytes with sports drinks like Gatorade.

Peace, Love and Sexiness!
