April Showers Bring May Flowers...

Spring is officially here folks! The birds are starting to chirp, the sky is blue and (hopefully) the sun is shining!! What does this mean for all you fantastic BGNDers? Easy...It is time to mix things up.

Now, there is no hard and fast skincare rule that says you MUST change your routine when the weather changes. In fact, some of you won't have to (lucky!) But for most of us, I think it is a good idea. Keep using a night cream, but perhaps lay off the super rich options and go for something equally hydrating and age-defying - like a cooling gel. And shame on you- if you haven't been using a moisturizer with SPF or a daily sunscreen you better start NOW!!!

My major switch up? My eye cream. In the winter, my lids and the delicate under-eye area get so sensitive and dry that I have to bring in this heavy hitter. My winter eye cream is one of my absolute favorite products and they do actually make it in a lighter version that is wonderful for the warmer months.

However, in a constant effort to save a few greenbacks I am trying something new this year.

Garnier Nutritioniste Skin-Renew Anti Sun-Damage Daily Eye Cream SPF 15


So the name of this new eye cream is ridiculously long but I am so excited to try it. I have always been a fan of the Garnier eye creams in the past and I am sure that this new one will not disappoint. The biggest selling point for me is that it is equipped with a lovely SPF 15. I don't know about you but I have a hard time with sensitivity and regular sunscreen on my eye area. And we all know that our stylish sunglasses help a bit with protection for the most delicate part of the face but they don't offer as much protection as they should. So here is a great alternative- a lightweight, effective eye cream with the added bonus of SPF- yay!

I picked this up at Wal-mart yesterday and I am totally excited to try it. I will keep you posted!

Have a great Monday and keep looking fabulous,
BGND
