Glowing Skin: My First Experience with Microdermabrasion + GIVEAWAY

As sand travels through the hourglass, so does my quest for youthful, glowing skin.  Just a week ago, I was lucky enough to experience my first microdermabrasion with a wonderful aesthetician, Robin, of Robin Marie Skin Care in Costa Mesa.  Not only did I get to experience the gentle exfoliation of microdermabrasion, I also learned a lot about microdermabrasion and tips on how to achieve healthy, glowing skin.

My skin tends to be on the oily side so I have had my share of chemical peels. And while I have always I have always been told by aestheticians and doctors that I would hardly notice the peeling from the chemical peel, I have always felt like a snake shedding its skin after a peel.  (Not to mention I have never seemed to time it quite right so that my skin isn't still peeling for a weekend event!)

With microdermabrasion, I was excited to learn that it exfoliates and removes a layer of dead skin like a chemical peel, but there is no delayed peeling!

California Baby - Protect Your Baby's Sensitive Skin

As a woman, skincare is really important. But I didn't realize how important it was until my son came along and I became practically paranoid about protecting it. So I apply the typical sunscreen and lotions to protect his skin and prevent dryness.

I have some friends that have babies with eczema that ranges from managable to downright painful. And although many baby lotions out there contend to be gentle on the skin, they can still contain chemicals that ultimately don't help the skin.

But thanks to California Baby, a chemical-free line of skincare, bath time and diaper products can help your child's sensitive skin...it works for adults, too! The California Baby line of products are organic and biodegradable, so they are great for the environment, too!

Be sure to check out the Overtired and Cranky Aromatherapy Bubble Bath ($12.50)as well as the Calendula Cream (which can be used on the body, face, diaper area, and even used to treat cradle cap; $11.50).These products not only are beneficial to you and your family, but they can also make great gifts because the packaging is so cute! The Bubble Bath Tote (above, $21.99) is a great baby shower or baby arrival gift.
