Perricone MD is one of the leading lines of skin care products and supplements, created by Dr. Nicholas Perricone.
When I discovered Perricone MD products a few years ago, I instantly fell in love. Yea the products are on the high-end, but here’s a few reasons why I like to splurge on this brand whenever I get the chance.
Perricone MD has some of the best skin solutions on the market including the best wrinkle cream. They understand the importance of quality skin care products as we age. Perricone also carries skin care products for acne, sensitive skin, redness, enlarged pores, and discoloration. One of its best sellers, Perricone Cold Plasma Sub D, helps sculpt and tightens loose skin.

November is the time of year for holiday fun with your family! You should enjoy this special time – but as temperatures drop and air becomes dry, our skin has a tendency to lose moisture and dry out. This can especially happen when combined with the dry heat from radiators and furnaces we all love to crank up in the winter.
November is National Healthy Skin Month and to help your skin thrive against the winter Hot Beauty Health will be giving away a “Cozy Winter Survival Kit.” This care package includes amazing Eucerin products that help replenish skin’s moisture and a couple of gifts we think will be useful during cold and flu season.
1. When showering have the water temperature be pleasantly warm, but not hot. Hot water is very drying on skin.
2. Avoid using a body brush with sharp bristles in cold weather because it will strip your skin of its natural oils. Use a body scrub instead!
3. Use creams with higher concentrations of essential fatty acids to maintain soft and glowing skin
This month’s product spotlight: Eucerin Calming Body Wash and Calming Creme and Eucerin Plus Intensive Repair Hand Creme
- Eucerin Calming Body Wash (8.4 oz.), is a unique body wash formulation that combines soap-free cleansing with omega oils and other natural lipids to nourish and soothe.
- Eucerin Calming Creme (8 oz.) is a gentle, non-greasy formula that combines calming oatmeal and rich emollients to help relieve dry, itchy skin for softer, healthier-looking and more comfortable skin.
- Eucerin Plus Intensive Repair Hand Crème (2.7 oz.) is a unique, non-greasy formula that intensively moisturizes and is enriched with buffered alpha hydroxy to gently exfoliate.
Prize:

- Eucerin Calming Creme

Clarisonic Skin Care System
If you’ve been more than interested in getting your hands on a Clarisonic Skin Cleansing System but just haven’t taken the plunge, now’s officially the time! You might still be considered silly for waiting so long, but the latest release of the best-selling facial cleansing brush may have just put new meaning to your long wait! The handy to-go version of the gadget, Clarisonic Mia, has just gone ultra-trendy in a snazzy new leopard print. After all, seems like everything is getting the leopard treatment these days, so why not beat your own unsightly spots with the super-cute Jaguar edition of the Mia? There aren’t many things that can get me excited about hygiene, other than the promise of more beautiful skin, so I have to admit I’m a bit of a sucker for festive printed products, even if they function the same as the regular versions. But printed or not, if you haven’t already surrendered to the skin-saving, miracle-working Clarisonic Mia, maybe Santa can help you out this season!

Home Exfoliating Scrub
Scrubs are one of my favorite things to make at home because there are so many different kinds. You can make a scrub out of almost anything from your kitchen. At home exfoliating scrubs are super cheap and can actually be better for your skin because you’re not using a bunch of chemicals that can be found in store-bought ones.
