What!?!? It only takes\u00a0just a drop or two of an oil based serum to correct my \u201cdry\u201d skin problem??? This finding came as quite a shock and surprise as I was told that I had \u201ddry\u201d skin since I was a child, and my dear mother has spent enormous amounts of money on hydrating skin products to help improve dry skin. My esthetician gave me a few samples of Omega-3 from Sonya Dakar without any intention of improving my dryness problem but because the spa owner was just about to throw them away.\u00a0 After applying 3 tiny samples, I begin to notice my skin started looking moist and radiant.\u00a0 I received many complement from friends and co-workers saying \u201cwow, you look so good\u201d even since I have been\u00a0on business trips on a weekly basis for 4 months now.\u00a0 As my dehydration problem started to improve, I also started looking younger as well. I like the Omega-3 product from Sonya Dakar very much because it does not give a greasy or thick feeling to\u00a0the skin.\u00a0 In addition, the skin absorbs it very quickly, and it\u2019s easy to apply your daily moisturizing products and still not have that greasy feeling.\u00a0 Also, it\u2019s easy to apply make-up.\u00a0 I do use vitamin C serum and dehydration lotion as part of my daily moisturizing process.\u00a0 About 3-5 times per month at night, I use a wash free masque to enhance my skin quality and to give it that youthful, glowing look. Here is a\u00a0list some of the products that I really enjoy and use for my dehydrated skin problem.\u00a0 Note: I prefer products with no animal testing and more natural ingredients.<\/p>\n

La Prairie<\/h2>\n

Cellular Hydralift Firming Mask<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a> http:\/\/www.laprairie.com\/default\/masks-exfoliators\/cellular-hydralift-firming-mask\/95790-00275-91.html<\/a><\/p>\n

This cream is amazing. \u00a0You can treat it as a day\/night cream, and it won’t give you any greasy, thick feeling. \u00a0I only use it at night and never wash it off. \u00a0I can feel the tightening of my skin the minute I put it on my face, and it quickly absorbs into my skin. Then it feels fresh and not sticky so you don’t have to worry about oil or cream getting\u00a0absorbed into your pillow sheet or bed sheets. \u00a0The next morning your skin still feels refreshed and radiant without feeling either dry or excess oil being produced overnight.<\/p>\n

Sisley<\/h2>\n

Ecological Compound<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a> http:\/\/www.sisley-paris.com\/en-GB\/skincare\/face\/moisturizers\/ecological-compound.html<\/a><\/p>\n

I’ve been using it for at least 15 years.\u00a0 It\u2019s light and absorbs into the skin very well and leaves no greasy feeling.\u00a0 Since it has natural flower fragrence, my five and a half\u00a0year\u00a0old daughter has started using it after her swim practice since she was 4 years\u00a0old<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Hydra-Global Intense Anti-Aging Hydration<\/h3>\n

\"Sisley<\/a> http:\/\/www.sisley-paris.com\/en-GB\/skincare\/face\/moisturizers\/hydra-global-40ml-1493.html<\/a><\/p>\n

I started alternating this product with Ecological Compound.\u00a0 As I started to worry about skin aging and wrinkles, I started to using this product more and more about\u00a05 years ago.\u00a0 Like the Ecological compound, it gives a fresh, non-greasy feel to the skin, and it gives more moisture to prevent skin aging.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Phyto-Blanc Lightening Hydrating Emulsion<\/h3>\n

\"Sisley<\/a> http:\/\/www.sisley-paris.com\/en-GB\/skincare\/face\/moisturizers\/phyto-blanc-lightening-hydrating-emulsion-50ml.html<\/a><\/p>\n

I have found\u00a0myself alternating this product with Hydra-Global over the past 5 years as well.\u00a0 I use this product more during the summer time to lighten up my skin from\u00a0sun damage.\u00a0 Again, I enjoy\u00a0this product because like the previous two it gives a fresh, non-greasy feel and gives your skin that glowing look, adding another layer of protection from sun damage.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Sonya Dakar<\/h2>\n

Omega-3 Repair Complex – Maintenance<\/h3>\n

It has a\u00a0fish oil smell to it, so if you are not a big fan of fish oil, it might take a while to get used to it.\u00a0 The smell diffuses in the air and with other skin products very quickly.\u00a0 It will feel a bit greasy and thick on your skin when you first apply it, but once it absorbs into the skin it will give your\u00a0skin a glowing look. It\u2019s easy to apply other moisturizing products and make up\u00a0on top of it, and you won\u2019t feel the thickness of it at all.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Hydrasoft Lotion \u2013 Irritation<\/h3>\n

I started alternating this product with Sisley\u2019s Ecological Compound and Hydra-Global because all 3 products give me the same effect on my skin and help to improve my dryness problem. The differences are:<\/p>\n

The active ingredients are different
\nSisley focuses on plant extracts
\nSonya Dakar has vitamin E
\nSisley is French product, and Sonya Dakar is a US product<\/p>\n

Keep in mind, there is no single product out there in the market that can just magically correct your\u00a0dryness problem.\u00a0 To have radiant, glowing, youthful looking skin, you must make an EFFORT to make it happen.\u00a0\u00a0 Remember, every woman is beautiful if you take care of yourself. Don\u2019t forget to drink plenty of water and fresh fruits & veggies, do regular exercise and keep a smile on your face.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
