New President, New Year, New You!

So I think that while you should stick with what works, sometimes we all need to hit the reset button. Just like diet and exercise, sometimes we fall off the good skin care habits band wagon and we need a little help getting back into the groove of things.

So today, in honor of fresh starts, I have two product packages that might be just what you are needing if you have spent far too many nights going to sleep with make-up on, or far too many days washing with your bar soap since you ran out of your face cleanser. Both of these packages are meant for skin rehab and to get you back on the right track.

1) For those needing a new approach to anti-agers

Neutrogena 14-day skin rescue kit - $25.99 (Drugstore.com)
This kit may look small and insignificant but boy does it have kick. Armed with three different products (cleanser, day moisturizer, night moisturizer), this kit is designed to get you back on track in a serious way. This is the kit to go with if you need powerful anti-agers and results fast. If your goals are to look younger and more refreshed- this is the way to go.

#2) For those just looking for a fresh start

Clinique Mini Kit - $46 (Exclusively at Sephora and Sephora.com)
So at first glance this looks like nothing new. Everyone knows about Clinique and their "3-step skin care". Perhaps you have even tried it once in the past. Well, if you are having skin issues, this mini kit might just be the restart you need. It comes with the usual 3-step but it also has my favorite eye make-up remover, the best eye cream (although I use the "rich" version of this), great mascara (the very one I mentioned in my BGND cosmetic best of list), and most importantly City Block with SPF. My biggest issue with the 3-step is that the moisturizer has no SPF, but by including the City Block the folks at Clinique have fixed this issue. Of course all of these products are available in full size, this kit is just great if you need to try something new but don't want to commit to anything just yet. Use the minis and if it works for you, get the full size. Or just like a diet, use this program to get you back on track and then move onto something else.

Have a great weekend and keep looking fabulous!
