If you’ve ever spent a night in any W Hotel, you have more than likely noticed a small collection of grooming items in your room from their Bliss Spas. One of which is their body lotion appropriately called Body Butter.

The molecule Sodium hyaluronate (naturally found in the body) is its key ingredient, and has the capacity of holding up to 1000 times its weight in water. Applied topically to the skin it can reach deep down into the dermis to combine with, maintain and attract water; thereby, resulting in smoother and softer skin with decreased wrinkles, and an all-around fuller appearance. The refreshing fragrances of lemon & sage add the “icing on the cake” since they aren’t overpowering and will not interfere with your cologne. The texture seems thick, but it has the the capability of melting, leaving your skin feeling soft and hydrated, by not greasy.

A great year round body lotion that is that much more effective during the winter months – a “Must Have”!

The love of tequila is usually an acquired taste, but when it’s ingredients are used for a face wash, getting used to a great feel of clean is much easier!

RAW Men’s Skin Care took the ingredients of tequila (blue agave) and yucca root extract and turned it into an invigorating face wash.

With the hint of peppermint, spearmint and menthol, your skin will not only feel alive it will also feel super clean.

Simple, effective and gets the job done!

We all know about dry skin.

Dry skin is a condition characterized by a decreased level of fats in the skin, as well as reduced amount of water in the outer epidermal (skin) layer. The skin frequently appears rough and scaly, and it may even itch.

There are several different causes of dry skin — some can be the result of bodily conditions, and some can stem from environmental factors. Here are four common triggers:

• Weather: The lack of humidity in dry and cold climates prevents the skin from retaining its natural water content. Indoor heaters can also make the air even drier and worsen skin dehydration.
• Excessive skin-washing: Overexposure to water, detergents and alkali soaps can strip the skin of oil and lead to dryness. Moreover, contrary to what you make think, scrubbing the skin can make dry skin even worse!
• Health problems: Thyroid disease, eczema, psoriasis and ichthyosis are just a few common health-related causes of dry skin. Malnutrition can lead to scaly skin as well. When the body is not healthy, the skin and oil-producing glands cannot work as well as they should.
• Old age: As we get older, our skin loses moisture as a result of weaknesses in the skin barrier, loss of water, and decreased amounts of fats that are produced in the surface of the skin.

So how do you treat dry skin? Limit the number of times you wash your skin each day, and use mild, soap-free cleansers. Always use moisturizer after cleansing and consider using a humidifier to increase the moisture levels of the air inside your home. Also, since the act of shaving can also dry the skin, following with an after shave balm will help to restore moisture and heal the skin. This should be done prior to using your face moisturizer. If necessary, talk to your dermatologist about other prescription options.

The ingredients are Zinc Oxide to fight the sun, multiple antioxidants to control free radical damage, and a citrus scent to make it pleasant to wear.

Did you know

So what do you do about it?

Doctors say that the quickest remedy is to get a good night’s sleep. “Seven to eight hours of seep each night makes a huge difference,” says New York dermatologist – Dr. Amy Wechsler. The vitamins calcium and magnesium can also help.

Oh and another thing… long term exposure to cortisol has been linked to memory loss. So rest up, and deal with it in the morning!

Drug store shopping

Why? Because their line covers all areas of skincare while staying affordable and effective! My two favorites are the Daily Facial Cleanser and the DailyAdvance Ultra Hydrating Lotion; however, the entire line will not dissapoint.

So, the next time you feel confused in the grooming aisle of your local drug store, just remember this name, because you won’t go wrong.
