MyChelle Dermaceuticals Refining Sugar Cleanser

MyChelle Dermaceuticals Refining Sugar Cleanser - 104ml - $32 - a natural sugar, multi-tasking cleanser that mildly exfoliates to gently rejuvenate, hydrates and refines skin.

It starts off as a lightly textured sugar that gently removes dead skin cells and surface dirt that then transforms into a creamy, foaming lather that leaves skin smoother, refreshed and energized.  The best part about it aside from making skin feeling smooth and amazing is the cookie scent! Am I worried that one day someone will want to eat my face off? Maybe a little...

The formula contains anti-aging Matrixyl Synthe’6 peptide, bioactive plant extracts along with hyaluronic acid to help keep skin hydrated - but is also notable for what it doesn't contain including: GMO, gluten, parabens, petroleum, phthalates, silicones, sulfates, ureas, artificial fragrances or colours.

Available at Murale stores across Canada and online at beautyboutique.ca.

Brighten up with a serum from NeoStrata, MyChelle and Ole Henriksen!

NeoStrata Skin Brightener Serum - 30ml - $78 - fights loss of radiance, targets and inhibits discolourations to even out skin tone with a highly concentrated silky serum packed with a whopping 20% Vitamin C to reveal a radiant, flawless complexion.

This one is nothing to fool around with so if you are sensitive, it's a good idea to start using it on an every other day basis or if you're super sensitive, as a weekly treatment to build up skin tolerance - however often you use it, pat it onto damp, not dry, skin and don't rub in!

Available at drugstores across Canada.

MyChelle Perfect C Serum - 15ml - $56 - with a non-irritating, multi-tasking vitamin C formula that reduces the appearance of lines and wrinkles and contains a high active level of 17% L-ascorbic acid - the only effective anti-aging form of vitamin C along with buddleja plant stem cells - to  brighten, protect skin from the elements and combat the visible signs of aging. 

Available at Murale stores across Canada and online at beautyboutique.ca.

Ole Henriksen Truth Serum - 30ml - $60 - like a daily multivitamin for the skin that fights dullness, dryness, uneven texture and loss of firmness and elasticity with a powerful anti-aging, oil-free serum formulated with vitamin C, boosted with collagen for brightening and all-day hydration and enriched with orange and green tea extracts to revive the complexion with a healthy and more youthful-looking glow - the serum is wonderful but I really love the citrus scent - like rubbing an orange grove on your face!

MyChelle Sun Shield Clear Stick SPF 50

It's that time of year again where my hunt for the perfect sunscreen really ramps up! I don't ask for much, just  high quality broad-spectrum protection in a safe, nontoxic zinc oxide formulation which is exactly what I found with:

MyChelle Sun Shield Clear Stick SPF 50 - 15ml - $16.50 - with a  mineral-based, water-resistant formula that glides on and dries clear in a stick format for powerful  broad spectrum protection on the go. 

Not only does it protect, the formula is also enriched with nourishing oils including: avocado, jojoba and vitamin E to help moisturize while cocoa seed butter soothes skin and supports elasticity. I especially like the stick formula for it's portability - it won't leak in your purse so there's no reason not to have sunscreen on hand everywhere!

Also available in the MyChelle sun protection lineup:

Daily Defense Cream SPF 17 - 35ml - $32 - a moisture restoring cream is combined with zinc oxide to protect skin from environmental stressors to help reduce signs of aging.

Sun Shield Unscented SPF 28 - 68ml - $26 - an unscented, mineral-based, broad spectrum sunscreen with soothing aloe and vitamin E that absorbs quickly for a smooth, clear, and matte finish.

Replenishing Solar Defense SPF 30 - 68ml - $35 - with a zinc oxide formula that provides clear, mineral-based, broad spectrum protection to prevent skin from signs of early aging and includes nourishing macadamia and candlenut oils to help restore moisture and reduce the appearance of wrinkles.
