Like Ice Tea on a Hot Summer Afternoon

My surfing tool me this time to a product review at http://beautyiseasy.com/2010/07/16/oh-the-scent-of-zensation-–-zensation-hydrating-moisture-cream/. The review is for a product called Zensation Hydrating Moisture Cream. The reviewer was very positive about the cream and recommended it. The part of the review which struck me was:

Image via Wikipedia

“With two key ingredients being Lavender Oil and Roman Chamomile Oil, you know that the smell is going to be nice. It’s herbal, light and fresh: the scent equivalent of a cool cup of lightly sweetened ice tea (with a gentle squeeze of lemon) on a hot summer afternoon. I now look forward to my morning application of moisturizer along with my morning cup of coffee – and that is saying a lot because I really look forward to my morning cup of coffee!

Final Verdict? I’m a fan the product and, thus far, so is my skin. $85 is steep for a daily moisturizer, but a little goes a long way with this product and I do love the smell.”

I want to make two observations. First, the description of this moisturizer as a glass of iced tea on a hot summer afternoon intrigues me. Moisturizer, ideally, should be that cooling refreshing balm to the skin. I’ve always felt that way. So many of them leaving you feel like you slathered on a layer of oil on your face. To find something that is in comparison to that a delight to use is refreshing.

Secondly, there is the mention of the price of the cream. It is high but I want to underscore the point the reviewer

makes. With high end products you don’t use alot. If the product is good you don’t need to put more than a quarter size dose on your face. It goes a long way.

What is the Best Moisturizer?

Cynthia Bell — Sat, 10 Jul 2010 17:34:42 +0000

Every woman knows the importance of moisturizers in her daily routine. The harsh environments of home and work take a toll on a woman’s skin, robbing it of vital moisture and making even young skin feel drawn and tight.

So we turn to moisturizers on a daily basis to counteract this assault. The best moisturizer is one which leaves

your face feeling refreshed and revived without leaving it greasy and slick. But what is that moisturizer, the best moisturizer?

Unfortunately, there is no one answer. I had hoped to be able to share my discovery of the best moisturizer with you all. But alas, it seems what works best for me may not be what is best for you and vice versa. Everyone has different skin challenges. Some of us have very dry skin, some only dry in areas. Some have problems of serial sun exposure. Others have the challenge of acne or rosacea. The best we women can do is to find our own answer in the recommendations of others with similar skin types and skin professionals.

So I invite recommendations and tips from you all on what works for you if you have found your best moisturizer. And if you are still looking, tell us what didn’t work and especially why it didn’t work. I will search the web to find the sublime and the ridiculous in skincare posts and news. Take this journey with me and we can all answer “What is the Best Moisturizer”?
