Teen Corner: Beating the Heat

Teen Corner

You probably don’t know this about me, but I’m an athlete.

I play club volleyball which means countless hours at the gym and gross amounts of sweat. Because of this, I keep facial cleansing wipes in my volleyball bag and use them often.

I’ve tried a bunch of different ones, but the best by far (in my opinion) is Boots No7 Quick Thinking 4 in 1 Wipes . These wipes are fragrance-free so they don’t irritate at all and they’re moisturizing too!

Also, they completely take off my eye-makeup on those nights when I’m too lazy to wash my face at the sink (uhhhh, that would be EVERY night!).

Starting tomorrow I’ll be participating in a week-long tournament called Volleyball Festival with nearly 10,000 volleyball players from all over the world. The packed gyms can get super hot and uncomfortable, but I’ll be feeling fresh with my Boots No7 Quick Thinking 4 in 1 Wipes .

My mom buys them by the armload at Target, but they’re currently on sale at CVS for $5.59 .

PS- Wish me luck :] xo, Bree

SkinCeuticals Foaming Cleanser

You have probably figured out by now that we have a passion for skincare products.

Lately we’ve been seeing more and more foaming cleansers and we couldn’t be happier. Maybe it’s because the foam feels like air in the palm of our hand — or because it rinses away so easily, but we love us some foam cleanser.

If you have skin that tends to break out, a great one is MD Skincare All-In-One Cleansing Foam. (We thought for sure we had written a review on this product but a quick search of our archives just now tells us otherwise. For now we’ll just say that this cleanser is great for staving off breakouts and is also a makeup remover and toner in one. Love it!)

SkinCeuticals Foaming Cleanser

This week we’ve been using another foam cleanser that is making us smile.

SkinCeuticals Foaming Cleanser is a lightweight pore cleanser for all skin types. The mild, fragrance-free formula leaves our skin super clean without feeling dry.

SkinCeuticals is dedicated to developing advanced skincare based on science, not trends, and is recommended by medi-spas and dermatologists in 35 countries worldwide. Knowing of their reputation with the medical community makes us love this cleanser even more.

Find a SkinCeuticals skincare professional near you and give this foam a whirl.  You won’t be disappointed.

Our lucky number

It has taken us a while, but we finally got ourself over to Target to see the incredibly popular British beauty product brand, Boots.Boots No7 Restore & Renew Beauty Serum

Since No7 is Boots’ best-selling line in the UK, it made sense for us to start there. The product we most wanted to try is the No7 Restore & Renew Beauty Serum, as earlier this month the UK equivalent to this product, Protect & Perfect Beauty Serum, flew off the shelves after a BBC program called ‘Horizon’ featured it. British retailers of Boots products are literally keeping lists to manage customer demand for Protect & Perfect, a product scientifically shown to improve photo-aged skin and the fine lines associated with it. And it’s available without a prescription!

Sadly, Protect & Perfect is not sold here in the US but its (equally good) twin sister, Restore & Renew Beauty Serum, is. And it was the first thing we scanned the Boots display for at Target last week.

While it takes up to 4 weeks to see results from Restore & Renew, we think we’re already starting to see benefits. Our skin seems brighter and smoother after only a few days (we know it’s probably not likely but, whatever, let’s roll with it).

The silky-smooth serum is used twice daily after cleansing and before moisturizing.

We can’t wait to try their other lines- Botanics, Feel the Difference, Mediterranean, Sleep & Time Dimensions.
