Product Review—Skin Care: COMODYNES Micellar Make-Up Remover for Sensitive Skin

November 12, 2014 / No Comments

I’m an absolute nuts for makeup remover and cleanser towelettes. They satisfy the lazy girl in me, and make it a bit easier for me to get my night time skin care regimen done, I rely on makeup remover towelettes. I have tried dozens of brands, and my latest find rates quite high!

Here are the details for COMODYNES Micellar Make-Up Remover For Super Sensitive Skin $7.99:

Innovation in facial cleansing. Make-up remover, 100 % natural fibers, that due to its micellar technology effectively removes make-up and impurities while respecting the balance of sensitive skin. Substitutes milk, toner and eye make-up remover. With emollient, softening and soothing plant extracts.

Authentic infusion of plant extracts for a soothing and decongesting action and maximum comfort. Stimulates microcirculation while confering immediate moisturisation and freshness.

Fresh finish on the skin, not sticky, soothes all skin types. Especially suitable for sensitive skin.

How to use:
Apply the wipe gently on the face, eyes and lips. No rinsing required.

My results:

First off, the size of these towelettes is perfect! Larger than most makeup remover towelettes, COMODYNES Micellar Make-Up Remover For Super Sensitive Skin are about the size of a face cloth and do a fabulous job at removing makeup. The texture is soft, not gritty and they do not irritate your skin.

What I am most amazed with is what a thorough job COMODYNES does at removing makeup and the “gunk” of the day that builds up on the surface of the skin. I did a little test the first time is used these makeup remover wipes. After removing my makeup, and only using one towelette, I followed it with a toner on a cotton pad. To my surprise, the pad wiped nearly clean — meaning that the one towelette removed not only all the makeup I had on, but cleaned the oil and other buildup on my skin. And this was with just one towelette.

If you wear eye makeup, you can feel confident that you will not have irritated eyes when using COMODYNES Micellar Make-Up Remover For Super Sensitive Skin. They efficiently remove stubborn mascara and other eye makeup without irritating eyes, and I have extremely sensitive eyes.

I’m a lazy girl, and I keep makeup remover towelettes by my bed for easy nighttime skin care habits, I recommendCOMODYNES Micellar Make-Up Remover For Super Sensitive Skin.

Look Better Naked: Top 5 Exfoliating Body Lotions

Who among us doesn’t want to retain the beautiful, youthful and radiant skin we were born in? I’m sure we all do; or at least I do! That is the reason why skin care products are gaining more recognition each day. You can’t turn the channel or flip through a magazine without seeing some new product related to promoting skin health. And then of course there are the models with glowing skin. Kind of like Chanel Iman on the left… With that said, as aging adults (and those of us who never plan on aging, but simply want to keep our bodies beautiful) it is crucial that we include exfoliation in our daily, or at minimum, weekly skin care routine. Body exfoliation is the process that removes dead skin cells and protects the skin from harmful effects of fungi and dirt. As a result, it helps the new, glowing skin to resurface. When we think of exfoliating we often tend to think only about our face.However, it is just as important to give the same attention to the rest of our body as we do to our face, neck and décolleté. Remember- our skin is the largest organ we have! As our age increases, the body's natural ability to shed dead skin cells decreases gradually, making skin pale and dull. To regain the soft, glowing, youthful skin we need to exfoliate on a regular basis. Here are my Top 5 Exfoliating Body Lotions: 1. Alpha Hydrox AHA Enhanced Lotion $9.49 This exfoliating body lotion promotes skin renewal and repair, helping smooth fine lines, wrinkles, crow’s feet and forehead creases. A 10% glycolic AHA gently exfoliates dead skin, bringing, younger, smoother skin to the surface. Increases skin moisture while leaving skin looking supple and refined. 2. Burt's Bees Cocoa & Cupuacu Butters Body Lotion $8.00 A blend of rich Cocoa and Cupuaçu Butters mingle with botanical moisturizers like Sunflower and Olive Oils. Burt’s Bees Cocoa and Cupuaçu Butter lotion is clinically proven to make your skin feel soft, smooth and super healthy for up to 24 hours. 3. Alba Botanica – Very Emollient Body Lotion Maximum Dry Skin w/AHA $12.00 A natural, maximum moisture body lotion packed with rich botanical emollients and humectants to relieve dry, itchy skin instantly and provide 24 hours of hydration. This exfoliating body lotion blends aloe vera, green tea and chamomile extracts plus antioxidants to nourish, soothe and soften dry skin on contact. Cellular renewal is supported with alpha hydroxy acids, so extremely rough, dry skin develops a fresh and healthy-looking appearance. 4. DERMAdoctor KP Duty $30 KP Duty incorporates medically proven technology including ingredients for hydrated and healthy skin. Medically potent levels of Glycolic Acid blends with Urea, the dermatologist-recommended humectant, to soften and smooth away the driest, roughest skin. 5. Kiss My Face Moisturizer Peaches & Creme w/ AHA $11.95 This quickly absorbing, 4% AHA moisturizer is recommended for daily use on the face or body to help unblock and cleanse pores, speed up the exfoliation process, allow new, healthy skin cells to emerge and reduce discoloration and age spots.

Expert Panel: New Year Detox Tips from Dr. Cheryl Karcher

Now that the holiday season has come to a halt, we are finally settling down from the nonstop road of soirees, cocktails and galas. And though our spirits might stay merry and bright, all the sugar, mulled wine and late nights that we experienced through the holiday season will certainly continue to take a toll on our complexion in the coming weeks. To detox your skin and revive your complexion, here are essential tips from Avon’s consulting top dermatologist, Dr. Cheryl Karcher to keep on hand in the new year: 1. Rest up! Ensure you get plenty of beauty sleep now that the partying is done. Well-rested skin is bright and healthy-looking, while tired skin looks dull and lackluster. 2. Moisturize! Moisturizing is key, so massage your favorite moisturizer plus SPF onto your skin before applying makeup to avoid dry skin at the end of the day. Try ANEW Clinical Skinvincible Multi-Shield Lotion SPF 50 ($36, avon.com) which will also protect from harsh winter conditions. 3.Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate! To rid the toxins in our body that alcohol may have brought on, drink lots of water to replenish your system and prevent from dehydration. 4.Get Glowing Apply a resurfacing mask, like ANEW Clinical Advanced Retexturizing Peel ($25, avon.com), before you moisturize to achieve a luminous glow. 4. De-Puff! Cool those puffy eyes and minimize under eye bags with chamomile tea bags or cucumber to unwind from late nights of holiday partying.

Green Day Thursday: Editor’s PIck—Pacifica Indian Coconut Nectar Body Butter

Baby it’s cold outside, and what better way keep your skin in optimal hydrated condition than with a body butter. But wait. Not all body butters are created equal! Some are greasy, sticky, don’t absorb and just too heavy. Such is not the case with Pacifica Indian Coconut Nectar Body Butter. Here are the details for Pacifica Indian Coconut Nectar Body Butter $15: Smell incredible with our nourishing and anti-oxidant rich ingredients. Our body butter helps fight signs of aging while adding deep moisture and protection. Made with nature’s best moisturizers – shea butter, almond oil and safflower oil – Pacifica’s paraben-free Body Butter is a skin must-have. Now available in tubes in our best-selling fragrances, making them easy to take with you anywhere. A warm blend of sultry fresh coconut, delicate creamy vanilla. DETAILS: Pacifica’s Indian Coconut Nectar is a sensuous and delicious blend inspired by travels to faraway destinations. This warm, sultry blend of coconut and delicate creamy vanilla is pure ambrosia. 100% vegan. Why it’s and editor’s pick: First there is the amazing fragrance — all natural at that. The name says coconut, and you get coconut. Not overpowering coconut, but just enough to smell…nice. Probably because there is a balance of vanilla in the scent as well. Then of course is the body butter itself. Made with shea and mango butters, Pacifica Indian Coconut Nectar Body Butter melts right into your skin and feels just lovely. It’s like whipped butter! A little of the body butter goes a very long way and keep skin hydrated for hours. Pacifica Indian Coconut Nectar Body Butter absorbs quickly and gives those “rough” areas, like elbows, knees and feet enough moisture to keep them smooth and soft. What we love even more is that this body butter is chemical free and made with the best ingredients. Besides shea and mango butter there is Vitamin E, kukui nut, macadamia nut and rose hip seed oils which help nourish skin. I love applying Pacifica Indian Coconut Nectar Body Butter right out of the shower before I go to bed and I wake up with the best feeling and smelling skin to start my day! And, as a brown girl, I have to say that this body butter is a serious #AshKicker as well!
