Know your skin the high-tech way (3)

My eye area, though, shows no sign of aging, so I could choose whatever eye cream I wanted except those which were very rich in texture like Resolution. The choices were Primordial, for prevention of signs of early aging, and Blanc Expert, for dark circles and line prevention.

I chose Blanc Expert as I now knew my tendency for pigmentation. My hydration and firmness quotients were also way above average.

New body rangeHave you passed by PCX or First Aid lately? There is this new French body line that has caught my eye.

The brand is Nuxe, which has a very similar logo and packaging to Origins, but the similarities end there.

The star product in the group is the Multi-usage Dry Oil Golden Shimmer for the hair and body. I apply it to the ends of my hair after every shower and it gives the hair subtle highlights and major shine.

On the body, the Shimmer gives a very flattering glow when applied strategically. The Family Balm, meanwhile, penetrates the driest of areas like the legs, cuticles, hands, heels and elbows. It has mosquito repellant properties and SPF 12, but is gentle enough to be used on the face and on babies.

My personal favorite and something I would definitely buy again is the exfoliating soap. It is coarse enough to be effective for my back, arms and legs without being scratchy. I have successfully eliminated the blackheads and pimples on my back and shoulders and prevented ingrown hairs caused by waxing on my legs. I use it for my back and shoulders daily but twice a week on my legs.
