Wednesday Quickies

Ok, as I promised yesterday, here are a few random, quick bites of beauty info to tide you over. Tomorrow I'll be giving you some gift ideas for the men in your life!

MOISTURIZER FOR OILY SKIN?
Here's a paradox: many people with oily skin often feel that they need a little extra moisturizer. This is my theory...some of the skin cleansing products designed for acne-prone or oily skin often strip away the skin's natural moisture. Sure, this helps control shine, but it can also take away some of the nutrients your skin needs. But using a regular moisturizer if you have oily skin can lead to way too much moisture, excess shine, and breakouts. So what are you to do?

The Body Deli may have just the product for you. Their new Flash Flood Light Facial Emulsion moisturizer is a revolutionary new product designed to retain skin’s moisture while controlling excess oil. The Body Deli folks took two years to design a product that uses ionic minerals that would hydrate, soften, and smooth the skin while controlling excess oil and breakouts.

My husband has oily skin and he's been using this product for about a month and a half. He likes the lightweight feel and the fact that he's getting the perfect amount of hydration. Try it out!
