Hand Soap, Demeter, Murad

Happy Sunday.
That was dumb. Sundays are not happy , They have always been sort of a sad day for me. My guess would be because it's on the verge of a new work week , one by the way, I can't wait til it's over. Actually FF to end of October and I'd be very happy.

I am sort of picky about my hand soaps, actually all of my cleansers, anything that foams, and this is because lots of Consumer products contain a foaming agent called Sodium Laureth Sulfate ( there are variations in the chemical name ) just know that sulfates are bad news. They dry out the skin, they strip color from your hair and unless you use an SLS free toothpaste , it gives people canker sores. I stopped using SLS toothpaste when I met Bob. Most of his pastes are SLS free, I rarely get one anymore. So drop the Jergens, Soft Soaps,  etc. This goes for all body washed. I like Jason and Kiss My Face for my body wash . They smell so yummy and the older we get, the drier our skin becomes. Don't help it by using icky sulfate foaming agents. Go check your shampoo bottles and various soap bottles in your house. It's in everything.

If you know me well, you know I love my perfume. Don't leave the house without a spray and yes, I use it at home in the evening to! I recently scored two discounted bottles of Demeter. Great brand. I had forgotten about it! They are All Natural- so this is a perk , and the scents are not heavy.They reseble a body spray like oyu would buy somewhere like V.S.  If you don't wear perfume but want to try, this is a fantastic starter. I have Lilac and Rose. I think they retail at around $25 a bottle. BTW, if you are a regular wearer, my newest bottle is Betsy Johnson . I love it. Floral with amber and musk notes. Versatile for day or night. The bottle is also sweet!! Check it out on Instagram! username -heavenly hills .

Murad. You all have heard of the brand. I don't have a lot of experience with it. They do make a great zit gel. I used that whole tube. I used to work somewhere that gave me a Murad discount. I have however just tried the Pomegranate Exfoliating Mask. It was a large sample so I got 3 masks from it. Let's see...it's not clay or grainy, it's a gel and it dries clear. I can't say that my skin looks different afterward, but it is very soft to the touch! To date the Ultimate in Exfoliating Masks is Somerville Exfolicate. The stuff is killer!!!

Have a good Monday. Cheers
