Skintastic

For those of you who are not aware, my gorgeous sister/best friend is an esthetician in Hawaii.  She throws all sorts of skin care goodies and tid bits my way.  Ever since I received the Dermalogica skin care line from her for Christmas, I can not stop RAVING about it.  I have tried other professional products (i.e. Aveda’s skin care, Juice Beauty, Proactiv, etc.), but none can even come close to Dermalogica.  This stuff is expensive, but I think a fresh, beautiful face is worth it!  

Now, if you can’t afford the price, there is another skin care line I discovered and absolutely loved still more than the other aforementioned lines.  It still can’t beat Dermalogica, though. :) 

It is called Alba Botanica, and it was their Hawaiian line that I used.  I found it at my local drugstore and it has things like pineapple enzymes, aloe, jojoba, papaya enzymes, etc.  I felt like I was using professional products at a drugstore price.  I purchased the Cleanser, Toner, Face Cream, and Scrub.  I loved, loved, loved everything, but the scrub wasn’t as scrubby as I would like it to have been.

So there you have it.  My skin care Oscar goes to Dermalogica, with Alba Botanica as it’s runner up. ;)
