Curel Targeted Therapy Review

curel Curél specializes in moisturizing lotions for all skin types. Their lotions have been specially formulated and clinically proven to combat dryness, itchiness, flaking, cracking and peeling. Curél will not only help to restore your skin to a more beautiful state, but they allow you to be carefree and confident!

During the winter months, women tend to neglect their feet. Weekly trips to the spa and salon for pedicures isn’t a priority because your feet are staying warm and covered up. I know it is hard to believe but summer is here and it is time to pull out your trendy sandals and flip flops and put your best foot forward.

Curel Targeted Therapy Creams are formulated specifically for your hard-working hands and feet. These powerful formulas hydrate and relieve dry hands & feet, yet are gentle and soothing.  curel1

From the Targeted Therapy line, Deep- Penetrating Foot Cream features highly emollient shea butter, rich coconut milk, and naturally healing vitamin E. This cream comes in a 3.5oz bottle that is perfect for home or travel.

During my pregnancy, I gained a significant amount of weight. I also had a condition that restricted me to bed rest. For 4 months, I was unable to reach my feet and sadly, it shows. My feet were in shock from not having a pedicure every week and my heels became dry and cracked. My son is a toddler now and I have yet to restore my feet back to the beautiful condition they were in, prior to pregnancy.

I was skeptical when trying Curél Foot Cream. The bottle reads “ smoothes and softens dry,cracked skin in just two nights”.  I have tried other products and waited weeks for results. I applied my Deep-Penetrating foot cream before bed and I was shocked to find noticeably softer skin when I woke in the morning.  The fragrance is light and airy and the lotion is thick and creamy. It felt like satin massaging against my skin and I love how soft my heels and feet have become. There was no greasy feeling, just touchable soft skin!

curel2 Also from Curél’s Targeted Therapy Line is the Hand and Cuticle Cream. This cream provides immediate healing relief to dry hands. The main ingredients include soothing soy milk, softening monoï oil, and naturally healing vitamin E. Rough Cuticles are softened with just one use and hands stay soft and smooth – even through several hand washings! The Hand and Cuticle cream is also available in 3.5oz, however this bottle is taller and narrower then the foot cream. Still, it is just as great for home or travel and would fit in nearly every size purse. I love that this hand cream is fast-absorbing. I did notice a greasy feeling when I first applied the lotion, but once absorbed, my skin was left feeling incredibly soft.

Both products worked wonders on my extremely dry skin. I highly recommended both products from the Curél Targeted Therapy line.

Lush Enzymion Moisturizer Review

Enzymion ReviewEnzymion is light moisturizer made especially for those with oily skin. A few of the main ingredients include fresh fruits enzymes, aloe vera gel, cocoa butter, and avocado oil. Combined, these ingredients help oily skin look matte.All of the ingredients are Vegan.

I am always on the market for a quality moisturizer. Not only for the purpose of moisturizing but also to help combat the signs of aging. I was skeptical about this product because I have combination skin. My t-zones (forehead, nose, chin) are almost always oily (especially during the summer months), while my cheeks are usually dry and flaky.

I received my Enzymion Moisturizer and immediately noticed the unique packaging. Lush uses post-consumer recycled, recyclable and biodegradable materials whenever possible. In fact, 70% of their products are sold "naked" or with no packaging at all. I also found it interesting that all Lush products are made by hand. All of their products contain a sticker with a picture of the person who made that particular item. What a unique and creative idea!

Enzymion has an uplifting and fruity scent. I will admit, the scent was a bit stronger than I prefer, but it faded within 10 minutes of applying. When my moisturizer arrived, I was a bit surprised at how small the container was. But after just one application, I understood why. I only needed a tiny pea-size amount of moisturizer to cover my entire face. I'm sure this moisturizer will last me for close to a 6 months, if not longer. Right away, I noticed how light Enzymion felt on my skin. My skin felt so fresh and rejuvenated!

I have been applying Enzymion every morning since I received it a week ago. Normally, new products irritate my skin and cause breakouts. With Enzymion, my skin is clearer then it has been in a long time. Enzymion works great on my combination skin. My face no longer looks like I have smeared fried chicken all over it. I am completely shine free! In addition to that, the dry areas on my face are finally hydrated and smooth.

Enzymion does an excellent job of moisturizing and making oily skin look matte! The only downfall to this product is that it is a little pricey, but it works miracles and lasts forever, so it is completely worth every cent! I would definitely recommend this product to anyone looking to get rid of their oily skin!
