Robin Laub, a Life Stylist

Spring Cleaning

March 20th is the official first day of spring. It’s also when I decide to clean out all of my facial serums, lotions, masks, and scrubs. As your life stylist, this is your reminder to check those expiration labels — skincare and makeup don’t last forever. Need help? Just Ask! 

 

This year, I’m replacing my wrinkle solutions with two new products that smell divine and make my face shine.

 

The Serum Powered By TFC8 by Augustinus Bader 

This is FANCY with a capital “F!” But don’t shy away from it. The 1-ounce serum is part of my new skincare routine. Yes, I continue to change my serums but there are so many out there to choose from, it’s important to inform all of you facial seekers. This serum is perfect for aging skin like mine (ouch!) and provides immense assistance with dehydration and loss of elasticity. I use it in the morning and after I smooth one pump all over my face (especially around my eyes), neck, décolletage, and even the tops of my shoulders, the eye wrinkles are not as evident. It also helps to use a quartz roller after applying the serum. The major bonus with this bright royal blue and copper bottle is that after your last drop of your very expensive serum has been pumped, you can use the glass container forever as a bud vase! How magical is that? 

 

 

Elixir Vitae by Tata Harper 

I apply this ultimate wrinkle solution at night. There are over 40 different ingredients which help minimize my crows feet, make my skin look plumper (who needs Botox?), and make my face feel radiant. The smell of this serum is out of this world. When I wake up in the morning I can smell the fragrances on my silk pillowcase. Ahhh. But I’m not going to sugar coat it, this product is also trés cher! Put it on your next birthday or holiday list. It’s THAT good!

 

Glow on!
