Rescue Remedy: Wei East 8th Wonder

Lip balm is the one product I can’t be without.

I’m sure it’s just an OCD tic that’s all in my head, but I am a mess if my lips are dry. It’s especially bad after a meal or right before bed. The thought of lying down for bed at night without lip balm makes my neck itch and brings on a low grade fever.

For this reason, my night stand is stocked with an assortment of lip balms in every shape and size, but my absolute favorite of late is Wei East China Herbal 8th Wonder Rescue Remedies.

This amazing balm has a really mild scent and leaves my lips moisturized all night long. Also, the impressive combination of Chinese herbs relieves an array of skin woes including dry cuticles, itchy scalp, dry patches on the face, elbows, heels and feet.

My tin is almost gone so I just went to their site and ordered two more for $19.50 each. I just hope they arrive before I run completely out!

Chanel Hydramax + Active Nourishing Cream for Dry Skin

CHANEL - Hydramax+ Active Nourishing Cream For Dry Skin - Saks.com

There’s no time that I detest having dry skin more than during summer’s sticky, humid days; my skin still needs moisture but my usual regimen of cream coupled with a rich serum is just too uncomfortable to bear on the hottest days. This summer, Chanel Hydramax + Active Nourishing Cream for Dry Skin has been my saving grace!

This thirst-quenching formula feels completely water-based and somehow manages to keep my skin hydrated and comfortable without feeling even a little bit sticky or thick.

Buyer beware: this one’s far from unscented, but, like my favorite Chanel Hydramax Tinted Moisturizer, I find the fragrance to be exceptionally fresh and impossibly French!

Chanel Hydramax + Active Nourishing Cream for Dry Skin is available online at Nordstrom.com for $72.00.
