Beauty Review

Living in Minnesota, which has one of the country's harshest winters, can wreak havoc on your skin.  Especially if you already have dry skin to begin with.  I moisturize day and night, and still see flakes under my foundation in the winter.  I've tried so many moisturizers and lately I've been using Aveda's skin hydrator.  I love it, but it's just not quite enough in the winter.  Last week, my skin was so dry it was cracking.  Ughhh, I'd had enough!  I remembered getting a deluxe sample of moisture surge and a few years ago and really liking it.  I headed to the Clinique counter to pick some up in hopes of remedying my painfully dry skin.

After consulting with a Clinique advisor, I went with a new product called Moisture Surge Intense.  It's been almost a week, and I have to say I am loving this moisturizer!  It was a little, errr, intense the first time I tried it.  My skin felt really greasy and heavy.  But after continuous use throughout the week, that has subsided and my skin now feels healthy again!  Of note, there is a funky smell when you first apply the product. It's chemically, but not enough, for me anyways, to outweigh the benefits of this cream.  

Overall, I love this product.  I also have extremely dry skin.  Those who do not could use this as a mask or an overnight treatment as needed.  Happy Sunday!
