Laura Mercier Face Polish

We all know the benefits of regular exfoliating, but nothing makes my skin glow more than Laura Mercier Face Polish.

While it is gentle enough to use everyday, my skin prefers the once-every-three-days regimen, which makes this 3.5 oz tube last FOREVER (a little goes a long way, girls.)

Laura Mercier Face Polish is available online at LauraMercier.com for $28.

What’s In My Shower: October Edition

whats in my shower october

Suave Professionals Volumizing Shampoo & Conditioner ($2.69)

For less than $3 each, this volumizing shampoo & conditioner is a steal. I can’t say it’s the best shampoo & conditioner I’ve used but it has a great smell and doesn’t weigh down my fine hair. Also? It costs less than a grande soy latte with one Splenda!

Elizabeth Arden Ceramide Plump Perfect Gentle Line Smoothing Exfoliator ($27)

I like to use face exfoliators in the shower as they are easier to rinse clean. (At the sink, I never seem to rinse away all the little granules around my hairline.) This Elizabeth Arden Ceramide Plump Perfect Gentle Exfoliator contains micro-fine beads to polish skin and leave it looking fresh and new. I’ve been using it once a week in the shower to revitalize my skin.

Korres Materia Herba Toning Cleansing Foam ($27)

Typically, I stay away from foam cleansers as I prefer creamier formulas for my normal to dry skin, but this Materia Herba Toning Cleansing Foam from Korres is anything but drying. The all-natural ingredients are formulated to break up oil and bacteria while sloughing off dead skin cells, leaving skin soothed and hydrated.

Pureology SuperSmooth Shampoo & Conditioner

This shampoo & conditioner from Pureology is designed to smooth and strengthen chemically processed hair. Formerly the SuperStraight System, this line includes reformulated favorites plus new products to help smooth unmanageable hair. I like how it has a slight masculine scent—a nice departure from the typical shampoo scent.

Molton Brown Purify Ambrusca Body Wash & Polish ($32)

The Purify Ambrusca Body Wash & Polish contains particles that aggressively exfoliate skin while cleansing with a rich lather and leaving behind its delightful scent. With winter upon us (I woke up to snow this morning!) this is the perfect scrub to polish dull skin and get the blood flowing!
