Used wet, the colors are more dramatic and bold, while dry, these crayons produce a softer metallic shadow effect - good for contouring & defining. (Available in eight shades from Walgreens.com)
Skin Genesis daily skin care regimen
After 30, skin starts to weaken and appear dull & uneven, with more visible pores & fine lines. Skin Genesis is formulated with hydrating Hyaluronic Acid & Pro-Xylane, their exclusive molecule derived from the beech wood plant; small enough to penetrate the skin's layers, it helps to strengthen skin & reignite cell activity. In a nod to the green movement, the technology is completely bio-degradable, bio-assimiable, and packaged in an airless pump (which means fewer irritating preservatives) Step 1 is a lightweight pre-moisturizing serum concentrate, followed by Step 2, a daily moisturizer - either with SPF 15 or as an oil-free lotion.
