Waterpik Complete Care, $99.99, is a Waterpik Water Flosser + Sonic Toothbrush which will drastically improve your gum health and plaque removal in comparison to a manual toothbrush and regular floss. I tested the water flosser this week, running it on a low setting over and around each tooth for about three seconds each, and could control the pressure with 10 setting options and five flosser tips to chose from. Taking better care of your teeth and gums, which can really just mean adding an extra minute or two of care each day into your routine seems like a no-brainer. As I learned at the Waterpik event, cleaner teeth not only mean healthier teeth, but whiter ones too — stains have less to cling to when your teeth are kept at an optimum state, thanks to the power of a sonic, electronic toothbrush and water flosser.
Founded by practicing dermatologist Gary Goldfaden, M.D., Goldfaden MD products combine the high quality of dermatological skincare with natural ingredients to create an innovative, and effective line that can treat a variety of skin problems, ranging from a unbalanced or dull complexion to damaged skin, aging, deep lines, dryness, and more. Two of my favorites, that I tested from the line include the Pure Start Gentle Detoxifying Facial Cleanser (removes dead skin cells, makeup, helps retain moisture and boost skin firmness, $32), and the Bright Eyes Dark Circle Radiance Concentrate (reduces dark circles, puffiness, and fine lines, $48) with soy peptides, rice bran extract, and Vitamin K.
Dermalogica MultiVitamin Power Serum, $65, from the AGE Smart line, is the latest product from the brand that utilizes micro encapsulated vitamins A, C, and E to help increase skin recovery, decrease fine lines and age spots while defending against skin aging. The new technology process of the delivery of these multivitamins creates further stability and penetration into the skin. All that is A-okay in my book! Plus the texture is an interesting blend of slightly thick, yet creamy serum – this way, a concentrated amount lasts and lasts. It’s also made without artificial fragrances and colors, so those with sensitive skin and allergies, rejoice!
I love a good face oil, and this week, I luckily tested the Elizabeth Grant Vitamin C Nourishing Face Oil($44.99),which has a soft, sweet, and subtly citrus aroma that is ultra hydrating. One drop will do the trick, and now I no longer have to fear, dry, cracking winter skin!
Bliss Firm, Baby, Firm $75, is a dual-action lifting+volumizing serum that utilizes the power of gardenia stem cells, X50 peptides, and phyto-retinoids packed into a concentrated aloe base in order to promote collagen and skin elasticity. The inspiration for the product was Bliss Spa’s famous “Firm, Baby, Firm” facial so that everyone can experience professional, spa-effective results in the comfort and convenience of their own abode.
