[I love my... Face Cream! by lauren madras | photo by charles barnes Everyone’s skin is just a little different, so we depend on our moms, girlfriends and doctors for advice and recommendations. That’s why the T&S editorial team members are sharing their personal faves. These jars and bottles are what we really use in our day-to-day routine, and if our skin ‘issues’ sound familiar, we might just be introducing you to your next personal favorite! Go to our Facebook page and under “I Love My Face Cream,” post your own special product and why it works for you! photo by Bailey Mohr << Lauren Madras lifestyle editor Kate Somerville Deep Tissue Repair Cream I have dry, sensitive skin—and my coffee habit dries my skin out even more—so I need lots of moisture. This light, non-greasy formula is rich without being heavy. Just a pea-sized amount covers my whole face and neck. There’s no SPF, so I’m always sure to follow-up with a sunscreen. I’ve noticed my skin is firmer and the fine lines on my forehead have faded. Neiman Marcus or Sephora << Tony Di martino Senior Editor CeraVe Moisturizing Skin Lotion Keep it simple; that’s my motto when it comes to skin care and everything else. CeraVe is packed with soothing, hydrating ingredients, but is far less expensive than designer creams. It’s gentle but light, so it keeps my sensitive skin happy without causing breakouts. Drugstores << Wendy Steinbecker Style Coordinator Rodin Olio Lusso I have dry skin that only worsens as winter arrives so this facial oil recommended to me has been my savior. I was very skeptical at first, but you can now consider me a convert to face oil. It’s a non-greasy blend of 11 essential oils, with a light jasmine and neroli scent. It keeps my face looking supple and healthy during the winter. I only use four or five drops for day, along with a sunscreen, so it lasts several months. Lusso << Dorothy Weiner Editor in Chief Sisley-Paris Sisleya Anti-Age Cream I love Sisley creams, Sisleya in particular. It’s rich without being oily, so I can use it morning and evening. It smells great and makes my face feel luxurious. You can make do with a tiny amount, as it’s so expensive. I collect samples, and when I run out, I try to buy during cosmetics promotions. Fine department stores << Suzy Bacino Style Editor Vivité Replenish Hydrating Cream I have pretty normal skin, but I get dry in the winter, so I get this product from my dermatologist’s office. This cream is thick, but once it’s applied it feels super smooth and not greasy. With beneficial vitamins C and E, plus soothing chamomile, Vivité is designed to soothe skin. It’s the last step in my bedroom routine, and I couldn’t live without it! viviteskincare.com << Catherine Klene managing editor Olay Regenerist Regenerating Serum This tiny bottle packs a punch—just a little before bed moisturizes without causing dry patches. My sensitive skin is prone to breakouts, so I’m leery of anything that isn’t oil-free, but this formula hasn’t caused any problems. I use a different moisturizer with SPF in the morning, but since adding this to my routine several months ago, my skin has been smoother.
