Cetaphil has launched some great new products lately, but there are three in particular that I’m simply raving about: Cetaphil Extra Gentle Daily Scrub (around $8.47), Hydrating Eye Gel-Cream (around $8.59), and the Ultra Gentle Body Wash ($7.99).
Let’s start by discussing the scrub: it’s gentle enough that you can use it on your face daily, as the name implies, but possesses the tiniest granules, nearly invisible to the eye, to help promote circulation and cell turnover without any abrasion. It’s great for all skin types, including those of us who have THE most sensitive of them all.
Next up is the eye cream: it makes sense for a brand that is so conscious of skin concerns and issues of all kinds to create a product for the most delicate area of them all – your eyes! This gel-cream is not surprisingly, super safe for contact lens wearers and those with sensitive eyes, in a formula that absorbs with the quick power of a gel, but hydrates like a cream. Hyaluronic acid locks in moisture while Vitamins E & B3 work to soothe and soften around the eyes. If you’ve ever had an eye cream that burned, tingled, and/or made your eyes water, something wasn’t quite right. It’s time to give it another try with an intensively moisturizing, non-irritating formula such as this one!
Last, just like how the eye cream seems to be a natural progression for the Cetaphil brand, so does a body wash! I love the fresh citrus aroma of the new wash, but you can also opt for a fragrance-free version. Both contain aloe vera and Vitamin B5, are dermatologist-tested and hypoallergenic, and ready to be applied to the most dry and easily irritated skin.
It’s now easier than ever to let your skin lead its best life with Cetaphil taking the reins!

Summertime is glorious, but all of the heat and sun exposure can certainly indicate some major shine time for your skin. Arriving in the nick of time is the IT Cosmetics CC+ Oil-Free Matte with SPF 40; just when you think the CC couldn’t do more for you…it continues to amaze with a poreless finish full coverage cream AND anti-aging serum! A Sephora exclusive, this long-lasting, lovely CC comes in 12 shades and still provides substantial SPF coverage at an SPF of 40, while concealing and brightening your skin at once.
So what’s in it to make it THIS fabulous, you may ask? For starters, it includes charcoal, colloidal clay, and Moroccan lava clay to rid of excess oil and reduce shine, tea tree extract to treat and dry blemishes, plus hyaluronic acid, peptides, and hydrolyzed collagen to retain moisture in the skin. Developed with plastic surgeons and suitable for all skin types, there’s truly so much to love about this color-correcting product, with my favorite being the ability to combine a few steps into one application!
The IT Cosmetics CC+ Oil-Free Matte with SPF 40 is available starting now for $38 for the 1.08 oz tube at Sephora, Sephora.com, and ItCosmetics.

At this point in my life, I have yet to be “razor loyal,” which in essence, means that I’ve tried quite a variety of different brands and have never consistently settled on one that I’m truly dedicated to. If you don’t believe me, you can bear witness to a drawer in the bathroom that has become a razor handle graveyard of sorts. This brings me to the BIC Soleil Balance Razors, which come in a pack of two and are considered to be disposable after they’ve run their course (aka no handle leftovers).
These are by far, the easiest, nicest disposable razors I’ve ever used! The moisture bar with Shea butter means I can use it without having to apply shaving cream, and as I am short on time these days, every second of time I gain back is a win in my book! I hate to say it but I think I’m now spoiled with the ease of the flexible blades and moisture bar for an ultra smooth shave!
The BIC Soleil Balance Razor comes in a two-pack and is available for $5.99 at mass merchandise food and drug stores such as Target.

Let me please be fully candid with you: I absolutely adore Furla and am shameless about the number of bags I own from the brand. When I lived in Italy during the early 2000s I had first noticed the brand’s bags and like many things Italian, the beauty was in it’s streamlined, austere simplicity in design. Since then, I’ve gone on to amass a sizeable collection and have enjoyed watching the brand expand its design offerings, moving from monochromatic minimalism to a well-edited range of printed options.
