7. Jurlique’s Baby Line

jurliqueWhen I worked at Jurlique, I gave this baby line countless times to moms all over the country and always received great feedback. Made with a natural, biodynamic blend of ingredients, this line does not dry out baby’s skin, and the fragrance is soft and subtle with the delicate scent of lavender.

My personal favorites are the Baby’s Gentle Shampoo & Body Wash ($18) and Baby’s Soothing Bubble Bath ($18).  These products contain parent-friendly packaging, which only requires one hand to open/shut the lid while holding the product, and comes in handy especially when you have a child in the other.

Jurlique baby collection is priced at $18-$29

CosMedix Define and Affirm

Cosmedix Affirm DefineCosMedix is a full range of naturally potent skin care products that are formulated through a process called ‘chiral’ correction, which filters the ingredients to contain only molecules that positively interact with the skin.  This translates to a corrective skin care line that substitutes preservatives and chemicals for naturally efficacious ingredients — peptides, sirtuins, epidermal growth factors, and physical sunscreens – which ultimately rejuvenates the skin from head to toe.

My skincare regime included — Affirm Antioxidant Firming Serum and Define Vitamin A Resurfacing Treatment.  These products are potent and very effective when used correctly – my skin felt firmer, more supple, and clearly made a difference with fine lines.

Affirm Antioxidant Firming Serum – $78

Affirm is a gentle and soothing day/night serum, with a light, clean fragrance that quickly absorbs into the skin and firms without making it feel tight or greasy.  Immersed with ten skin-specific antioxidants, this lightweight peptide serum can be used for the correction and prevention of photodamage. Suitable for young or mature skin, Affirm can be applied morning or nights individually or under other products to reduce visible signs of environmental stress and sun damage.

Define Vitamin A Resurfacing Treatment – $74

Define is a potent cream made from a unique blend of gentle acids and 2% AGP Complex (a retinal alternative), which encourages cell renewal and collagen enhancement.  Additionally, Define is formulated to exfoliate and resurface skin by stimulating the
