SkinCeuticals Triple Lipid Restore 2 : 4 : 2

SkinCeuticals Triple Lipid Restore 2 : 4 : 2 - 40ml - $140 - an anti-aging treatment with a lightweight and fast-absorbing texture that refills cellular lipids to chronologically-aged skin to help with signs of accelerated aging.

Not sure what lipids do for the skin? They actually play a critical role in skin health including healthy cell signaling, cell turnover, barrier function and natural self repair - so keeping lipid levels maximized is what will keep skin looking healthy and younger! This formula is great for that with a maximized concentration of pure reparative lipids including 2% ceramindes, 4% natural cholesterol and 2% fatty acids to correct and nourish the skin by refilling essential skin lipids, restoring the external barrier and supporting natural repair - for improved skin texture, laxity, evenness and overall radiance.

Obviously this is a cream for older skin but if you have super dry skin of any age and money to burn you will love how nourishing this feels so go ahead and slather it on!

Available at select dermatologist offices, medical spas and high-end spas across Canada - visit www.skinceuticals.com/canada to find one near you.

HIF Volume Support Cleansing Conditioner

My fine hair and I are locked in a constant battle - with it wanting to lie there looking all flat and lifeless while I want it do something - dammit, is a little volume too much to ask for?! Luckily strength and body are mine for the asking with:

HIF (Hair Is Fabric) Volume Support Cleansing Conditioner - 180ml - $35 - a foaming cleansing conditioner that transforms dull, lifeless hair thanks to a formula containing cleansing fractions instead of common hair damaging detergents while a whole bunch of conditioning technologies, exotic oils, hyalronic acid and precious rock extracts leave the hair in prime condition adding body and bounce back to lack-lustre locks with pea bio-peptides, whilst moisturizing and  protecting the hair follicle and adding volume from the root. and leaving hair feeling soft and supple.

Givenchy Dahlia Divin Le Nectar de Parfum - 50ml EDP Intense - $112, 75ml EDP Intense - $135 - with a top note focused on the golden flowers of  mimosa; heart notes of Sambac jasmine and elegant rose; and a woody base of creamy vetiver, sandalwood, tonka bean and lavish vanilla musk.

Vichy Ideal Body Aqua Sorbet

I admit it, during the summer I often skip the body lotion in the morning because the idea of adding a layer of anything to my skin that is going to end up all hot and sticky seems horrible - that is until I found:

Vichy Ideal Body Aqua Sorbet - 400ml - $29.95 - with an ultra-refreshing texture to keep skin feeling fresh and hydrated for radiant, well-toned skin for up to 24 hours.

Contains ginko biloba - for freshness and energy; aquabioryl, hyaluronic acid, carrageenan sugars and fundamental oils - for continuous hydration; LHA - for smooth skin tone, firmness and softness; and Vichy Thermal Spa Water - to soothe, rebalance and fortify skin.

The great thing about it is how it feels on the skin, immediately cooling it - so not only is it great for hot summer mornings, it's perfect for applying after a work-out at the gym!

Available now at drugstores across Canada and online at www.vichy.ca.
