I am currently in New York City for the summer and hopefully will be posting more on my new buys! It's been a long time since I blogged so I might be kinda rusty.
Anyhoo, since it's the summer and the sun is almost always out all the time, I've been looking to try out a new moisturizer that comes with SPF. I decided to try the Sephora Age Defy Moisture Cream with SPF 15 Sunscreen. While I wasn't really looking into the age defying feature, this moisturizer is suppose to be very good with my skin type - dry. My face gets super flaky especially with the sun and humidity. I barely get any oil but I did start getting some rough patches that scared me a little. This moisturizer may seem heavy, but it is actually really light-weight after application. It smells great and does not leave my face oily. It leaves behind just a layer of moisture that your skin will absorb within the hour.
Seeing that I tan super easily, this has definitely shown results in terms of preventing me from excessive tanning. One of the downsides of this product is that I don't know if it is as hydrating as it should be. My face still feels dry and rough in some parts. This would probably be perfect for normal/combination skin types as it does not leave the face oily.
Before I switched to that, I have been using Clinque Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion. This is for dry skin in particular. I absolutely love and recommend this product. It keeps my face moisturized and has been a blessing during the cold winters. It is slightly heavier than the Sephora SPF Moisturizer and I do know that I have some cream on my face. But it gets absorbed into the skin pretty quick as well. The only downside to the Clinque Moisturizer is that the smell isn't too pleasant. I have seen some people commenting about how it smells kinda chemical-y. To me, it smells like it has a vague hint neosporin. But don't let that scare you! It isn't strong at all. In fact, I think I will continue using this when I don't really need all that sunscreen anymore.
Well, that's all for today! Please let me know if there any products you would like a review on and I will try my best to make it happen.
