I’m thankfully able to use just about anything on my face without worrying about breaking out or any kind of irritation. We’ve all heard of the crazy circle people with oily skin go through – when skin is not hydrated, it produces oil and then it becomes too oily and shiny, so you wash it again only to go through this crazy cat and mouse game over and over. So you try oil-free products and those just lack lasting moisture so it’s back to the former and on and on. So the KIEHL’S line took it upon themselves to come up with a collection of skin care products that are oil-free but are still able to not only hydrate the skin but also seal it in. It’s their Ultra Facial Oil-Free Collection and is proven to rebalance the skin and prevents the overproduction of oil. And the collection contains all the necessary ones to get it all under control –

Ultra Facial Oil-Free Cleanser ($18/5oz)
Ultra Facial Oil-Free Toner ($16/6oz)
Ultra Facial Oil-Free Lotion ($24.50/4.2oz)
Ultra Facial Oil-Free Gel Cream ($24.50/1.7oz)

A great value and way to try out these products is with the Ultra Facial Oil-Free Moisturizer Starter Kit for $29.50. It contains a 1oz Cleanser, 1.4oz Toner, and 4.2oz Lotion. Get this collection @ kiehls.com.

I don’t know the last time the buzz over one ingredient has been so deafening as it is over Açaí (uh-sah-hee – now you know). It’s the antioxidant for protection from environmental factors, and I have read a few times that it works wonders at controlling rosacea. Just out last fall from our friends at KIEHL’S is their Açaí Skincare Collection of face products. What’s great about this collection is that each product is 100% all-natural and certified organic – both Ecocert and Cradle to Cradle certified. That’s pretty major. These two orgs don’t mess around.

The collection is comprised of the following products:

• Açaí Damage-Minimizing Cleanser ($24.50/5oz)
• Açaí Damage-Protecting Toning Mist ($26/6oz)
• Açaí Damage-Repairing Serum ($48/1.7oz)
• Açaí Damage-Correcting Moisturizer ($44/2.5oz)

All @ kiehls.com.

Since 1851, KIEHL’S has been bringing us fine quality skin and hair care and they’ve just introduced a Rice & Wheat Volumizing Hair Care duo. As always, it is infused with lots of natural goodness: natural hydrolyzed rice protein, wheat protein, honey, Jojoba seed and rice bran. I did get lots of volume, but without the usual dryness that sometimes accompanies volumizing products. This duo is excellent for thin and fine hair. It smells fresh, detangles, smooth split ends and hair appears fuller and thicker, while keeping the softness. Rice & Wheat Volumizing Shampoo or Conditioner $18/8.4oz each @ kiehls.com ~Lisa

I have a problem digesting milk so I stick to soy-based products. And what’s good for my insides has to be good for the outside. KiEHL’S new Crème de Corps Soy Milk & Honey Body Polish ($27.50/6.8oz @ kiehls.com) is simply dreamy. Soy milk AND honey? Yum! Medicinal Shea butter, jojoba butters and almond oil top off the skin benefiting ingredients and the exfoliators are ground luffa fruit (from exactly where you are thinking, the Loofah). Such a treat that I could eat.
