The Ginvera Green Tea Exfoliating Marvel Gel had two things going in its favour even before I opened the packaging. First, it’s an Asian beauty brand so naturally I’m expecting it to be super advanced and effective, secondly it had the inscription ’30 scrubs to finer and smoother skin for all skin types’ and who doesn’t want that?

Dermalogica just launched HydraBlur™ Primer, a lightweight and non-greasy primer that not only helps with makeup application but also transforms skin by blurring the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, mattifying oily shine and creating a silky, smooth finish.

As if having chapped lips aren’t bad enough during the year, during winter, it can get considerably worse. From chapped to dry, then from dry to cracked lips, winter presents problems that makes soft, supple lips difficult to attain and maintain.
