If you're like me and in the winter season now, there's nothing more needed then a super hydrating moisturizer to combat the dry skin that winter seems to cause, whether it's your face or body.
I was lucky enough to be asked to review a couple of products from
Jeunesse, the Daily Moisturizing Complex & Essential Body Renewal from their Luminesce line, which are targeted for dry skin which makes them both perfect winter products to restore your skin.
Daily Moisturizing Complex This daily moisturizer is best suited to dry or mature skin, with properties meant to be effective for anti-ageing by reducing fine lines & wrinkles and promoting the production of collagen & elastin, while restoring moisture levels in the skin. Even if you don't have mature skin starting early for preventative measures are always easier than having to try and fix it once the damage is done, such as using an eye cream for the same reason.
I've found this to absorb quickly into my skin, leaving behind the feeling of a radiant & hydrated complexion & allows me to follow up with makeup shortly after as there is no down time while waiting for absorption. It also provides sun protection with the aid of an algae extract, which means I don't have to worry about the extra application, which I'm usually too lazy for anyway!
Key Ingredients & benefits:
Apple, Lentil & Watermelon extracts- prevents trans-edpidermal water loss by locking in hydration
Red Seaweed extract- Absorbs quickly into the pores to provide a natural, superior moisturizing barrier
Green Algae extract- Rich in proteins & amino acids that enhance the natural production of collagen & elastin
Blue algae extract- Naturally protects against the harsh sun
Luminesce rejuvenation factor complex- restores skin's natural protein levels with an exclusive patent- pending formula.
I love the pump on this bottle, you have to twist the lid anti-clockwise for it to appear which clicks into place, making it a great moisturizer for traveling because you wouldn't have to worry about any product coming out unexpectedly. It is easy to control the amount of product you need but if you do get too much out you can't put it back.
The
Daily Moisturizing Complex is $69.95 for 30ml
Essential Body Renewal The Essential Body Renewal cream is perfect for applying after the shower to lock in moisture & stimulate cellular renewal with antioxidants that work similar to the
Daily Moisturizing Complex by promoting the production of collagen & elastin. It works to rewind the effects of photoageing which is caused by environmental damage with wrinkles, age spots & a dehydrated, sagging complexion while underneath the surface of the skin the aging process is accelerated. Not only that but it nourishes & restores all skin types,and is especially good for rough & dry areas.
I find this lotion easy to smooth into the skin & it leaves me feeling very hydrated. I've also had a couple of dry patches on my legs appear in the last couple of months which can sometimes look red & flaky, and this cream has helped settle them down. It has a very refreshing clean smell & I can get two mid-sized squirts to cover my whole body.
Key Ingredients & Benefits:
Suproxide Dismutase- a patented super powerful ingredient that helps protect cells from radical damage
Apple, Lentil & Watermelon extracts- prevents trans-edpidermal water loss by locking in hydration
Luminesce rejuvenation factor complex- restores skin's natural protein levels with an exclusive patent- pending formula.
Passion Fruit Extract- very high in vitamin C & polyphenol entioxidants that neutralize free radical damage & improve skin elasticity
Black Elderberry Extract- contains properties that soothe & soften your skin
The packaging is in a long squeezy tube, with a twist cap with a small opening, making this another good choice for traveling.
Essential Body Renewal (150 ml) at $59.95

Overall I am really pleased with the results I've been getting from both of these products, as my skin feels a lot more supple & hydrated after application & it feels lovely all day. Obviously I cannot comment on the improvement of fine lines/ collage/ environmental damage but I feel that the quality of these products & their ingredients will be effective for these purposes. I love that the ingredients work with the skin & it's natural processes to improve the outside, unlike many other brands where they don't delve below the surface of the skin.
These products are quite pricy but if your budget allows it, it's worth it. You do not need a lot of product these would last a long time so they would be good investment products instead of wasting your money on cheaper products that do nothing for the skin.
