Simple Sensitive Skin Experts Vital Vitamin Day Cream: Phew!

Pinky McLadybits

I needed a new face cream because I had run out of my samples from Birchbox and fall and winter are fast approaching. I can make due in the summer without much face cream, especially with the oil-cleansing method I use to wash my face. In the colder months, my skin tends to feel tight, full of flakes, and generally gross.

I have also noticed that my skin is more sensitive than it used to be. A purported gentle cleanser made my face a splotchy mess and even a BB Cream made a mess. The sensitive label and the coupon for $4 off the low $9.99 price tag are what made me pick up Simple Sensitive Skin Experts Vital Vitamin Day Cream SPF 15. (And now I'm out of breath. Damn long name.)

A Face Moisturizer for All Seasons: Alba Botanica Natural Hawaiian Oil-Free Moisturizer

Tamatha

I know, I know.  I'm like a broken record with the Alba Botanica products.  But listen, when you find a brand which consistently makes excellent products, there's simply no reason to risk a disappointing experience with another brand.  Besides, this was one of my first Alba products, so there.

As you may recall from my Pineapple Enzyme Facial Scrub review,  in the same travel kit which contained that scrub, I also discovered my favorite face moisturizer.  Technically, in that kit it was the Natural Hawaiian Moisture Cream, but when I asked for the full size of that for a present, the Main Squeeze chose the Oil-Free version, which turned out to be a good (easy-to-make) mistake on his part.
