I have loved LA PEAU Skincare since I began using their products in 2015. Three years later, I have to say that I am just as impressed as I was when I first tried their beautifully elegant products. This refreshingly edited collection simply features 3 products– all of which are astoundingly effective, and a true unmitigated pleasure to use. Their Day Cream, Night Cream and Eye Contour all boast lightweight and fast absorbing gel formulas that unmistakably refresh the skin while simultaneously delivering deep hydration. Skin is left soft, supple, nourished and hydrated. Furthermore, fine lines are softened and plumped, and skin is left looking, and feeling, more healthy and youthful. I should also note that all of their products are fragrance-free, and therefore will not pose a problem to those among you who dislike or can't tolerate scented skincare products.
About LA PEAU,
Founded in 2001, BFutur Suisse SA, www.befutur.com, is a privately held Swiss biotech company, specialized in the conception and development of active ingredients for cosmetic applications. The company headquarters are in Geneva, Switzerland and its North-American branch in Montréal, Canada.
The company has developed an anti-aging and antioxidant skincare range named LA PEAU, based on the usage of a new proprietary molecular complex - the BCell. Stabilized after 4 years of research by prominent scientists & biotech experts from Geneva and Stanford Universities, the BeCell complex, is the basis of the 3 product skincare range LA PEAU; it is a revolutionary complex, stemming from years of research on the skin, that helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Easily absorbed, it stimulates cellular metabolism to nourish and regenerate the skin. BeCell is free of any animal protein. It is composed of the finest antioxidants, amino acids, oligo elements & vitamins with proven anti-wrinkle properties; it regulates the skin's moisture level while providing long-lasting hydration. LA PEAU projects an authentic Swiss luxury product line based upon perception of treatment qualities vs. purely cosmetic benefits. It has been launched as the most exclusive Swiss antioxidant product on the market, derived from years of biotech research - more effective than any other product on the market.
Product Claims:
The texture is different than the normal creams & the instant feeling is one of purity & efficacy. Non-oily, LA PEAU penetrates fast into the skin, hydrates it immediately without leaving the messy greasiness on your face; the skin becomes much firmer. The 3 products of the skincare range - Night, Day and Eye Contour - are easily absorbed due to their non-greasy texture. All products are non animal and fragrance free. LA PEAU 3-product skincare range uses the BCell complex in all its formulations and contains no animal substances. The visual results are compelling: after 28 days of daily use of LA PEAU products, skin looks dramatically smoother & firmer. All 3 products have the same fast absorbing, non-greasy texture that restores the elasticity of the skin while delaying its aging process.
LA PEAU Night Cream-Gel: Age Defying Complex: After cleansing my skin at night, I apply a small amount of this cream to my face, neck and décolleté and watch as it mysteriously melts into my skin. It has a light to mid-weight cream-gel texture that is silky-smooth to the touch and that immediately sinks in without leaving behind any sort of residue. While I note that my skin becomes ultra-hydrated and luminous right away– it isn't until the following morning, when I awaken that I really see the difference. Fine lines are plumped and softened, and my skin has a pronounced healthy dewy glow. In fact, my skin looks so good when I use this cream that one might get the impression that I had just experienced a 5 star spa treatment. My skin boasts a pronounced clarity, I look more rested and my skin feels baby soft. I cannot sufficiently underscore the extent to which this cream surpassed my expectations.
According to LA PEAU,
LA PEAU stimulating Night Cream with its especially conceived molecular complex - the BCell Complex - contains active ingredients that penetrate in the skin and repair damaged cells. The action of the BeCell Complex is based on a two-phase sequence. First, it gently purifies the skin to allow better absorption. Next, active fragments of the BeCell Complex penetrate skin cells, diagnose possible damage, and repair them.
Directions: Apply gently every night on a clean face.
Overall Assessment: This really is one of the best things to happen to my nighttime routine since sleep!
I was recently introduced to the makeup and skincare brand, Bodyography, and I thought that I would share my initial impressions about the products that I have tried from their range. Their cruelty-free products are quite pleasurable to use, they deliver on their promises, and they are affordable. Unsurprisingly, the three products that I received are perfect for the warm months of summer, and will definitely work well as the weather transitions into fall.
About Bodyography,
Bodyography is a boutique professional makeup line for amateurs and professionals alike, conceptualized and manufactured in the USA. But we're more than just your traditional makeup line. We offer cruelty-free, mineral-based makeup with clean ingredients that are infused with skincare benefits such as fruit and plant-derived vitamins and antioxidants. Along with our top-of-the-line formulations, we also offer Vegan, Paraben-Free, and Gluten-Free products that will fit into any lifestyle. The color payoff and quality of our products are undeniable, but what really makes us shine is the way our makeup feels on the skin—our weightless formulas are incomparable!
Bodyography Hydrating Mask ($31.00 for 1.9 oz. from Bodyography): I am such a huge fan of antioxidant-rich hydrating masks, and especially love using them during the hot months of summer– when my normal to combination skin has a tendency to become a bit dehydrated. This delectable mask smells like watermelon and has a thick, silky-smooth consistency that feels amazing on the skin. After massaging it into clean skin, and leaving it on for about 15 minutes, this mask leaves skin remarkably hydrated while it plumps fine lines and leaves skin soft, smooth, and dewy.
According to Bodyography,
Formulated with age-defying antioxidant fruit and plant extracts, this remarkably active mask hydrates skin while improving texture and reducing dryness and fine lines. Antioxidants like Watermelon, Green Tea, and Apple Fruit Extract give your skin a healthy boost and a beautiful natural glow. With continued use, this mask will leave skin plump, soft, hydrated, and ready to face the day.
Features:
• Cruelty-Free & Gluten-Free • Infused with age-defying antioxidant fruit & plant extracts • Hydrates & smooths skin • Can be used daily for ultimate hydration • Formulated without parabens, gluten, sulfates, phthalates, & triclosan
Directions: Massage a thick layer on cleansed face. Leave on for 10-15 minutes and then rinse off with water.
Bodyography Hydrating Mask Ingredients
Bodyography Foundation Primer ($31.00 for 1 oz. from Bodyography): This silicone-based hydrating primer has the most luxurious velvety texture against the skin. It is filled with nourishing antioxidants, vitamins and hydrating oils that moisturize the skin while leaving a perfect base for foundations. It softens the appearance of fine lines and improves the longevity of foundations, tinted moisturizers and other finishing products.
According to Bodycology,
Since its release, our Foundation Primer has become one of our most popular products. With antioxidants, vitamins A and E, and Jojoba and Grape Seed oil, this weightless, anti-aging primer fills in fine lines and wrinkles, prevents collagen breakdown, and gives the skin a silky smooth, long-lasting, flawless base.
Features:
• Cruelty-Free & Gluten-Free • Extends the wear of foundation & controls oil & shine • Creates a uniform canvas for flawless makeup application • Softens fine lines & wrinkles • Non-comedogenic formula won't clog pores • Formulated without parabens & gluten
Bodyography Foundation Primer Ingredients
Bodyography Epic Lash Lengthening & Curling Mascara ($20.00 for 0.3 oz. from Bodyography): I don't tend to get very worked up about mascaras, and truth be told it is one makeup product that I often skip altogether. That said, I really like this one. It is jet-black, as Bodycology asserts, and it does a very respectable job lengthening and volumizing lashes. The unique shape of the wand is constructed to lift and curl, but it also enables one to easily separate lashes, to avoid clumping, and it lets you get into the lower lashes without any trouble!
According to Bodyography,
A jet-black mascara that lengthens, volumizes, curls and conditions lashes. Features a unique silicone double-sided comb wand for ultimate lift and curl.
Features: • Cruelty-Free & Gluten-Free • Helps lashes appear wider, fuller, & stronger with Widelash™ containing Provitamin B5 • Comfortable all-day wear that will not flake or smudge • Build lashes to your desired volume & effect • Best removed with warm water followed by a makeup wipe
• Formulated without parabens & gluten
Overall Assessment: I am quite impressed by these three gems from Bodyography, and am thoroughly obsessed with the Hydrating Mask. I am sufficiently impressed that I want to further investigate their skincare and makeup.
If you are seeking an effective mask that reduces the appearance of under eye puffiness, dark circles and fine lines– then Sisley Paris Eye Contour Mask needs to be on your radar. I have used this luxury treat for more than 3 1/2 years, and it is definitely my secret weapon for those days when I wake up with puffiness because I am exhausted and didn't get nearly enough sleep. It is a smoothing mask, that is suitable for all types of skin, and it is specifically formulated to reduce puffiness, lighten dark circles and soften the appearance of fine lines.
On me, I have noted that it deeply hydrates the skin, efficiently smooths and plumps fine lines, reduces the appearance of puffiness and has lightened my dark circles associated with a poor night of sleep. The richly hydrating gel-based formula feels refreshing and lightly cooling, and immediately nourishes and moisturizes the skin leaving it soft, smooth, supple, lifted and dewy.
The recommendation is to apply a thick layer and to leave it on for about 10 minutes, and then gently tissue it off. However, I prefer to apply a moderate layer and leave it on for about 20 minutes instead. The results are impressive, and it is such a pleasure to use. I should remind you that I have sensitive eyes, and that this gentle formula does not irritate them or cause them to water. There is a very light aroma, presumably from the ingredients rather than an added fragrance, that is barely detectable.
According to Sisley Paris,
The Eye Contour Mask is an express smoothing mask used to reduce under-eye puffiness. This mask is specifically formulated for the fragile skin of the eye contour. With its unique combination of active ingredients (Ginkgo biloba, Arnica, Horse Chestnut, Linden blossom), vitamins (Provitamin B5 and Vitamin E acetate), and oligo-elements (Malachite and Chlorella), it works within 10 minutes to hydrate and reduce signs of fatigue. Fine lines around the eye are visibly smoothed, puffiness and dark circles appear reduced, and the eye contour area overall looks enhanced. Dermatologically and ophthalmologically tested for tolerance. Fine lines around the eye are visibly reduced, the eye contour and eyelids appear smoothed. Within ten minutes, the delicate area around the eye looks refreshed and signs of fatigue appear diminished.
Directions: Two or three times a week, in the morning and evening, apply to clean, dry skin in a thick layer on the eye contour and eyelids. Allow to remain on the skin for ten minutes, then wipe away any excess (if necessary) without rinsing.
Select Ingredients and their Attributes:
Natural Glycerin moisturizes and reduces the appearance of fine lines
Ginkgo Biloba Extract helps improve skin tonicity and drain sluggish lymphatic systems
Select Ingredients: Arnica, Chestnut tree, Gingko Biloba, Vegetable Glycerin, Vitamins E and B5, Chlorella, Malachite, Linden, Alpha-Bisabolol, Rose Water.
Overall Assessment: I love this eye mask, and don't know why it has taken me so long to share its virtues with you. I will definitely purchase a replacement tube once I finish this one. A+
Farmhouse Fresh Maypop Steeped Milk Lotion, which is the latest launch from this utterly magnificent brand, is an infused milk that is blended into the lotion, and the result is a rich and creamy moisturizer that leaves the skin soft, smooth, supple, nourished and scented with a delectable passion fruit aroma. While it is very moisturizing, and perfectly suited for dry skin, it does sink in very quickly, and it does so without leaving behind a greasy residue. The aroma, which is the perfect embodiment of summer, is hypnotic and intoxicatingly beautiful.
According to Farmhouse Fresh,
We have a passion for uncommon harvests! Meet Maypop Steeped Milk Hand Lotion. This dreamy hydrator is as enchanting as it is moisturizing. Its delightful passion fruit aroma is worth swooning over! Plus, it comes in a luxurious, recyclable tube. Hydrate on guilt-free!

This freshly steeped milk is then blended into our lotions, making these the most precious & pristine bottles of infused, feathery softness you've ever enjoyed. These Steeped Milk Lotions are a thicker consistency than our Body Milk Lotions, plus they have a velvety smooth feel you will adore!

Overall Assessment: I am obsessed with this lotion, and am already thinking about purchasing a backup because I will likely run out within the next month. A+

ColorProof BioRepair-8 Anti-Aging Scalp & Hair Therapy Kit ($132.00 for the set from ColorProof): I do not have thinning hair, and therefore I can't personally report on the efficacy of this kit for that purpose. However, I have tested it to see what it would do for my hair, and I noted that my hair was volumized. If you have thinning hair, you will definitely experience added volume and hair thickening, and the brush will help with microcirculation to help stimulate the follicles.

Dove Beauty Bars have been a staple in my life since early childhood, and as an adult their Beauty Bars and Body Washes continue to inhabit my bathrooms, and are reached for by my family on a daily basis. The new Dove Anti-Stress Micellar Water Body Wash and Dove Anti-Stress Micellar Water Beauty Bar are among my personal favorites that I think you will love as well. I have also featured a few of my other Dove favorites that are in current rotation.
Dove Anti-Stress Micellar Water Body Wash ($5.49 for 22 oz. from Target, Walmart, and Walgreens): This ultra-gentle lathering body wash, with its fresh and clean fragrance, effectively lifts all dirt without stripping or drying the skin. It nourishes and lightly hydrates, and even soothes irritated dry skin. Dove suggests that it can be used on the body and face, but I only use it on my body.
According to Dove,
What is micellar water, and why have we introduced micellar water technology into our new stress relief body wash? Well, in a world with rising urbanization, pollution and environmental changes, women are seeking a more calming body wash. One with a formula that can help defend against environmental stressors while providing the gentlest care for the most sensitive skin. For that reason, more women are turning to the cleansing power of micellar technology, where tiny micelle particles surround and gently lift away dirt and impurities which are then rinsed away without any harsh rubbing required. This new Dove body wash combines all of the micellar water benefits with the gentleness you’ve come to expect from a Dove nourishing body wash. Designed to reduce the effects of harmful environmental stressors that can damage, dry out, and irritate your skin, our new mild body wash with micellar water cleansers brings anti-stress skin care to a new level. Calm your skin by washing away environmental stressors like dirt & grime with Dove's gentle Anti-Stress Micellar body wash.
Dove Anti-Stress Micellar Water Beauty Bar ($5.49 for 4 bars from Target, Walmart and Walgreens): This rich and creamy lathering beauty bar, which has the same fresh and clean fragrance as the Micellar Water Body Wash, is mild and gentle on the skin, and it neither strips, nor leaves it dry. In fact, it hydrates the skin and leaves it soft and smooth. I have even lathered it up to shave my legs, and found it very effective.
According to Dove,
To help protect against the effects of pollution and environmental stressors, Dove has developed a mild and gentle cleanser designed to soothe stressed out skin. This new Dove beauty bar combines the cleansing benefits of micellar water with the nourishment of Dove. So, what are micelles and how does micellar water work? When using a micellar water cleanser, tiny cleansing micro-molecules – when mixed with water – form spheres called micelles that attract and trap dirt and impurities like magnets which are then gently rinsed away without irritating skin. And unlike regular soap bars that can dry out your skin, this Dove bar also contains our classic ¼ moisturizing cream to nourish as it cleanses by replenishing your skin’s nutrients, leaving it feeling softer and smoother. It’s time to treat your skin to an exceptionally delicate Dove beauty bar that cleans as gently as a Dove sensitive skin bar and is suitable for daily use on face, body, and hands. For best results, lather up your Dove Beauty Bar and massage the smooth, creamy lather over your face and body before rinsing thoroughly. For soft, smooth hands, you can also enjoy regular hand-washing throughout the day with your Dove bar. Soap may dry out your hands, but the classic moisturizing formula of Dove bars will leave skin softer, smoother and healthier-looking.
Dove Deep Moisture Body Wash ($4.79-$6.99 for 22 oz. from Target, Harmon Face Values, Bed, Bath & Beyond, Walgreens and other national retailers): This is a rich and creamy body wash that has a rich, dense, creamy and emollient lather. It is very moisturizing, and it leaves the skin soft, silky smooth and hydrated. Like the sensitive skin variant, it has a light fresh aroma, and I find it emollient enough to use for shaving my legs and under arms. Though it is very moisturizing, it leaves behind no greasy residue, and washes away clean.
According to Dove,
Who doesn’t like having soft skin? We all want to keep our skin looking healthy and well cared for, and it’s much easier to make that a regular part of your routine if you’ve found a moisturizing body wash. That’s the best way to feel confident that you’re nurturing your skin right from the start of your day. We know how you can do just that – with Dove Deep Moisture Body Wash. All skin deserves gentleness. This moisturizing and mild body wash combines NutriumMoisture™ with 100% gentle cleansers to help your skin retain its natural moisture, leaving you with softer, smoother skin after just one shower. The caring #1 Dermatologist recommended formula in this Dove body wash helps maintain your skin’s moisture barrier while delivering natural skin nourishment that goes deep into the surface layers of your skin. It creates a rich lather that replenishes your skin’s nutrients while also leaving it feeling cared for and clean.
Dove Sensitive Skin Body Wash ($4.79-$6.99 for 22 oz. from Target, Bed, Bath & Beyond, Walgreens, and other national retailers): If you have sensitive skin, then this ultra-gentle sulfate-free body wash is a perfect choice. It is a non-stripping and moisturizing body wash that has a rich and creamy lather. It has a light and clean fragrance, but it is neither cloying, nor long-lasting. This body wash is creamy, emollient and hydrating enough that I can use it to shave my legs and underarms!
According to Dove,
Those of us with sensitive skin know all too well that it needs special care – and how much of a relief it is when we find a body wash that provides that. A good sensitive skin body wash is designed with the needs of delicate skin in mind. And we know one that fits the bill: Dove Sensitive Skin Body Wash, a dermatologist-recommended, hypoallergenic body wash that looks after sensitive skin while still providing the rich lather that we all love. Dove doesn’t leave skin stripped of nutrients after washing. That’s because the formula has mild cleansers, to help your skin retain nutrients as you shower, as well as NutriumMoisture™, which replenishes any nutrients that are lost. It helps to maintain your skin’s moisture barrier as you wash, and leaves you with softer, smoother skin after just one shower. Dove Sensitive Skin Body Wash is hypoallergenic: it’s our best body wash for sensitive skin.
Dove Gentle Exfoliating Body Wash (Not shown. $4.79-$6.99 for 22 oz. from Target, Walgreens, Bed, Bath & Beyond, Harmon Face Values and other national retailers): I love using exfoliating body washes, but I prefer gentle ones that neither strip, nor over-exfoliate the skin. This gentle exfoliating body wash has soft and uniformly round exfoliating beads that do not traumatize or over-exfoliate the skin. Instead, this richly creamy and emollient body wash gently exfoliates the skin, and leaves it super soft, smooth and hydrated. It has a light and clean aroma that is quite pleasant.
According to Dove,
Are you wondering how to nourish skin and revitalize your senses at the same time? A body wash with a vibrant scent that also cares for your skin while you wash could be just the thing you’re looking for. And with Dove’s Go Fresh range, you can get a light, hydrating feel and refreshing formula that lets you nourish your skin in the shower each day, and refresh your mind and body at the same time. That’s why we’ve created Dove Go Fresh Revitalize Body Wash, with a vibrant mandarin and tiaré flower scent and a nourishing formula that leaves you and your skin feeling refreshed and hydrated. All skin deserves gentleness, which is why Dove is sulfate free, and #1 dermatologist recommended.
Dove Deep Moisture Shower Foam ($5.99 for 13.5 oz. from Target, Walmart and Walgreens): This airy and light shower foam has a subtle and fresh aroma that, to me, smells like summer. The soft and airy lather is creamy and gentle against the skin, and it neither strips it, nor leaves it in the least bit dry. Skin is left soft, smooth and lightly hydrated.
According to Dove,
Your body wash should nourish your skin with goodness, as well as cleanse. Providing an extra boost of nourishment, Dove Shower Foam Deep Moisture Foaming Body Wash gently refreshes and cares for your skin with its instant, lightweight foam with an airy texture. The result: skin that’s beautifully clean, soft and smooth. Nourishing deep* into the surface layers of your skin, Dove Shower Foam Deep Moisture Foaming Body Wash is formulated with our NutriumMoisture™ technology. Made with skin natural lipids and moisturizers to help support a healthy skin barrier, this foaming body cleanser helps your skin look and feel more beautiful.
Dove Sensitive Skin Shower Foam ($5.99 for 13.5 oz. from Target, Walgreens and Walmart): The foaming cleanser has precisely the same detectable attributes as the Deep Moisture Shower Foam, but it is formulated for people with sensitive skin. It is not fragrance-free, but instead has a subtle fresh aroma. It neither strips the skin, nor does it leave it in the least bit dry our taut. I find that my skin is left soft, smooth and lightly hydrated.
According to Dove,
If you have sensitive skin, you know it needs extra-special care to look its beautiful best. Hypoallergenic Dove Shower Foam Sensitive Skin Foaming Body Wash provides the care your skin needs. With a mild and soothing foam formula that helps minimize dryness, this body wash for sensitive skin gently cleanses and nourishes, leaving you feeling soft, smooth and refreshed. Containing our NutriumMoisture™ technology and Dove’s moisturizing formula, Dove body wash helps replenish sensitive skin so it feels moisturized. Nourishing deep* into the surface layers of the skin, Dove Shower Foam Sensitive Skin Foaming Body Wash helps to support your skin’s moisture barrier, leaving it feeling clean and moisturized.
Overall Assessment: I always repurchase Dove body washes and body bars, and these are definite favorites in my household. I find that I am reaching for the new Anti-Stress Micellar Body Wash and Body Bar the most lately because they are so light, refreshing, gentle and hydrating– which is just perfect for the hot summer weather. If you love Dove Body Bars and Body Washes, then these are definitely worthy of your consideration.
