KLAIRS FRESHLY JUICED VITAMIN DROP



Klairs is a skincare brand based in South Korea. Klairs freshly juiced vitamin c drop is a L ascorbic acid serum that helps protect the skin from UV damage while fighting free radicals, stimulating collagen production and improving skin tone and texture.

WHY I LOVE IT
It was tough deciding which vitamin C serum to choose for this post because this year I have come across a couple I absolutely love. I settled on this product because I had used it the longest (review posted September 26th 2016. Click here for review) and the effect it had on skin particularly sensitive skin. With 5% l ascorbic acid it is a fantastic intro level serum to a first time user or a person with sensitive skin. It is also formulated with centella asiatica which has incredible benefits to the skin. Centella boost collagen in the skin , it has soothing properties to the skin and its most known for its wound healing properties to name a few. Combing these two ingredients in one product is like creating a super hero in a bottle. Love it.

It’s a mild at home peel that soothes my skin , improves moisture and keeps my skin radiant. It provides mild exfoliation while cleansing my pores out.

CLINIQUE PEP START EYE CREAM


The eye cream is supposed to brighten, hydrate and in three seconds refresh your eyes giving you that revived and looking wide awake.
WHY I LOVE IT
I have tried a lot of eye creams, eye mask, eye peels ,you name it I have tried it and still trying so far this has been the best. As mentioned in my review last year, I tested it out when I had given birth to my second child. I was literally a zombie and this eye cream helped in the appearance of my dark circles and tired eyes due to lack of sleep. Now it hasn't cured my dark circles but it made me look somewhat human and awake that's why I love it and would repurchase it until I find the ultimate cure for my dark circles.

It helps prevent sunburn, and if used as directed with other protective measures, it decreases the risk of skincare cancer and early signs of aging caused by the sun.

WHY I LOVE IT

From the moment I started this blog, I have constantly taken any opportunity to share my opinion on the importance of sunscreen. Its is the number one thing everyone should do to achieve skin health. That being said, I am really picky when it comes to sunscreen because 1. I am sensitive 2. I am a person of color 3. I love comfort. So my sunscreen has to tick all three boxes before I will place it on my face or a clients face.
Dr Jart +everyday sun fluid meets these and more. It never irritated my skin, it never left white cast on my face and it absorbs quickly into the skin leaving my skin comfortable even when I reapply during the course of the day. For other benefits of this product click here.
