SUPERSKIN CARE: HYDRA BALANCE FOR COMBINATION SKIN Step 3: Hydrabalance Smart Cleaning Moisturizer for Combination Skin by VMV Hypoallergenics Highly Recommended by the Beautiful People of Whom You Know

The Hydrabalance Smart Cleaning Moisturizer is the third step in the Super Skincare Collection. In my opinion, it is the most important step because it is the polishing of your skin before makeup. This moisturizer is absolutely perfect! It gives my skin lots of hydration and even helps balance the moisture in my skin. It also contains SPF 15 for sun protection! This is great because I don't have to worry about the extra step of putting sunscreen on my face in the morning! It also contains organic virgin coconut oil to help prevent moisture loss and restore lost lipids. This is a great final step to ensure great looking skin!

A moisturizer that knows where your skin needs more hydration and where it needs less? Bring it on! VMV Hypoallergenics' Superskin Care: Hydra Balance Smart Moisturizer for Combination Skin is that moisturizer! It provides maximum hydration to drier parts of your skin and lighter hydration to oilier areas, balancing out combination skin. This balancing act leaves you with soft, hydrated, smooth skin. As with all VMV Hypoallergenics products, this moisturizer is validated hypoallergenic, fragrance-free, paraben and preservative-free and non-comedogenic. I used this product following the VMV Smart Scrub and loved the results! My skin is pretty sensitive and I had no adverse reaction with this great product; I highly recommend it!

Moisturizing my face is the one thing I always have to do when I'm done cleansing it. I have a hard time finding a moisturizer that doesn't weigh my face down. This moisturizer doesn't. It absorbs quickly and leaves my skin feeling like there isn't anything there. Since I have sensitive skin, finding a moisturizer that doesn't irritate my skin is important as well. This moisturizer is it! When used with the Smart Cleansing Scrub, my face looked better than it had in a long time. This is a product I will have to keep in my house.

The magic of this moisturizer is that it delivers hydration where it's needed, as much as it's needed, with no help from us. The built in balance provides an even treatment to a face that is oily in some spots, and dry in other areas. How cool is that? When your skin is subjected to constant make-up and city living, those little dry spots aren't always the same as when you're a teenager. This moisturizer seeks and finds, leaving the texture of your face with a wonderful dewy finish. According to the brochures that come with this line, the makers suggest that you use the Illuminants cream on your face, while you build up to the daily application of the facial moisturizer. That worked for me, and made for a smooth finish, under make-up, after only a few days of using the entire line. Clean, clear, and bright: what more can you ask for from a skincare line?

This regimen is a smart "tune-up" for combination skin, providing both soft hydration in drier areas, as well as shine control in oilier areas. Banishes acne as it happens, lubricates as needed. When combination skin is healthy, it can be well balanced, with evenly-distributed moisture, a healthy natural glow, and infrequent acne or rashes. If combination skin isn’t cared for well, it can manifest the problems of both dry and oily skin types: recurrent irritations and acne. The Hydra Balance SuperSkin Care Regimen uses the Alpha Hydroxy Acid, Mandelic Acid, for antibacterial care, exfoliation to brighten skin and promote a radiant glow, to prevent signs of aging, and to help elasticity over time. Monolaurin provides additional skin-safe disinfection for acne as well as shine control. The regimen effectively maintains combination skin's moisture balance: keeping acne at bay while boosting skin’s healthy hydration. Long term use clarifies and softens skin, helps prevent both signs of aging (wrinkles, dullness, sagging) and acne.

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
