NEW: Perricone MD Photo Plasma

NEW: Perricone MD Photo Plasma // Belle Belle Beauty

This frothy, pink cream has me giddy. So so giddy. As I spend these weekend days outside over and over again, I realize I need to be reaching for something I really trust to keep my skin safe. Beyond that, Perricone MD Photo Plasma is perfectly suited for every day SPF, great under makeup and gentle on my sensitive skin.

Somehow this formula is oil-free, while still at the same time super rich and luxurious. My persnickety skin drinks it up – albeit I do like a moisturizer underneath. It is powered by Titanium Dioxide and Zinc Oxide, non-chemical UVA and UVB mineral sunscreens, but I get no whitish cast on my skin.

The anti-aging benefits aren’t just its broad specturm UVA and UVB protection. Astaxanthin acts as a antioxidant known for its photo protective powers. And my beloved Vitamin C Ester (along with Alpha Lipoic Acid) work to even and brighten skin.

Finally, Perricone MD Photo Plasma provides a radiance and makes my skin look great even alone without makeup. I love this “new to me” clinical line has great efficacy while looking fabulous and being gentle.

NEW: Kiehl’s ‘Skin Rescuer’ Stress-Minimizing Daily Hydrator

Kiehl's 'Skin Rescuer' Stress-Minimizing Daily Hydrator // Belle Belle Beauty

It is almost like Kiehl’s read my mind. After three six plane trips in four weeks and diving into a retin-A prescription, my skin is stressed! And regular anxiety can actually translate into redness and irritation. Did I mention my work email has been on the fritz for two whole days? UGH. Skin Rescuer is just what the doctor ordered for some tender loving care for this mug.

In the mornings, I’ve been layering Skin Rescuer under Kate Somerville Daily Deflector for a super-charged hydration and added sun protection. I really don’t mind the lack of sun protection in Skin Rescuer. I feel like Kiehl’s was appropriately focused on healing properties. I have found that my skin has perked up, appearing less red and dehydrated.

Not only does Skin Rescuer heal. Rosa Gallica Botanical Extract helps minimize skin’s visible response to stress over the longer term. While a rare sugar, Mannose, protects skin while it recovers.

The texture and feel of the lotion is very straightforward, much like other Kiehl’s favorites. I can’t detect any scent. The weight is balanced – nourishing but not heavy. And I am a huge fan of pump dispensers – just feels a bit more clean. Cheers to whipping my skin into shape just in time for summer!
