One of my first and favorite finds of 2013 is cult-favorite, Caudalie Beauty Elixir. It is a spray fashioned with grape, orange, rose, mint and rosemary that is used prior to moisturizing as well as anytime you wish to set your makeup or refresh your face. Initially I was turned off to the scent, but now I love it. It was inspired by Queen Isabelle of Hungary‘s elixir of youth. I spritz the minty and fresh spray on my face twice a day and have noticed a radiant glow, reduction of fine lines and a more refreshed, awake look.

Another skin care find that I’ve seen great results with is NeoStrata’s Exuviance OptiLight Tone Corrector. This lotion glides on under moisturizer and instantly works to brighten skin as well as reduce existing dark spots. I have excess dark spots on the contours of my cheeks and this lotion has worked wonders! It contains NeoGlucosamine Retinol, Tumeric, and Vitamin C to break up pigment spots, prevent new spots, and impart brightness. If you are struggling with dark spots, I highly recommend using it!

If you are dealing with dry, chapped lips from the cold winter air, you have to try Hurraw! Lip Balm. This vegan, organic lip balm is so hydrating, it’s amazing! Not only that, but the coconut lip balm smells good enough to eat. Made with all organic, non-animal products, such as almond and coconut oils, this balm moisturizes so well, leaving your lips looking and feeling (and smelling) incredible. Take your pick of nineteen scrumptious flavored, including grapefruit, vanilla bean, and cinnamon, all available online.

I hope you will give some of these products a try and let me know how you like them.
