Review: Dead Sea Premier Luxury Collection Hand Cream

Alright Fellas, this one is for you! (Ladies, here’s your chance to get your guy to moisturize… and still feel all manly.)

I knew instantly that the smell was not for me (it competed a bit with my perfume), but I also knew that it smelled really nice.

So, here’s what I did:

I brought this hand cream to work, and sat it right next to my hand sanitizer. I encouraged everyone to try it. Most of the women agreed that it smelled nice, and that they could imagine a man using it. The men… well, those that would actually try it, agreed that it was a nice cologne scent. I actually had one guy ask me if it smelled anything like guns or motor oil. When I said no… he wouldn’t use it. sigh.

I did have one woman in the office who always smells so very good ask me if she could have it once I had reviewed. It smelled great on her, and meshed well with her cologne. She prefers stronger scents, and really it is perfect for her as well.

Basics: A lovely hand cream with a more masculine, cologne smell to it.

Extravagance: As with all of the lotions and potions I’ve used by Dead Sea Premier, it is luxurious. Super moisturizing, long lasting, and delightful. The scent is not overpowering, though it does hold on.

Imperfections: None to speak of, really. Scent appreciation is subjective, and while I do very much like this one… I won’t wear it.

To Sum It Up: If you like a cologne scent more so than a perfumey or flowery scent… this is for you. If you have a fella that you can’t get to moisturize… this may be for him.

For now, I’m going to pass this on to my lovely co-worker and enjoy the scent from a distance.

Dear skin gods,

Please bring me a product that will make my skin feel soft and supple. Let this serum have Vitamin E, and throw in some C for added benefit. Please save my skin from all of the horrible things I do to it every day… like walking outside in the California air. Oh, dearest skin gods, please protect and nurture my skin from the harshness of this world, and leave it with a healthy and youthful glow.

Amen.

AMEN!

Basics: My skin has found its salvation. Several weeks ago I told you about the Swisa Beauty Dead Sea Facial Peel. This is the perfect counterpart… step 2, ‘B’ to its ‘A’… I mean, this is what you should use to follow up your peel. The D.S.P. facial serum is a perfect skin restorative post facial peel!

Extravagance: Okay, sometimes I say really silly and corny things. Brace yourself, because I’m going to do it again. When you put this stuff on, it seriously feels like you are rubbing your skin with velvet. I’m not exaggerating. If you don’t believe me, you are just going to have to try it for yourself!

And, if healthy skin isn’t enough of a promise… the packaging says that if you use this twice a day, you’ll have a noticeable lift.

Imperfections: The instructions say that you should use this twice a day – before your moisturizer (after wash and toner… if you use it). I can’t really use this every day, though for those of you with dryer skin, use it. Use it a lot. For those of you with combo or oily skin, it may leave you (as it did me) feeling a little more shiny than you are comfortable with. It’s not like an oil slick, and if you wear makeup every day, it is likely not really an issue at all.

Oh, and it has one of those glass bottles I’m so famous for breaking. My imperfection, not theirs.

To Sum It Up: No nasty breakouts. No funky redness. Just soothing, smoothing and… I can’t think of another rhyming word, so I’ll just say restoring!

That’s it! I want an ageless future! I’m just saying that I’m noticing drastic changes to my skin in the last few years – and sister, it ain’t good! I’m getting little wrinkles around my eyes, and of course, the really big ones at and above my brow line that I’ve already told you about.

I’m getting older, and it is frankly not a concept I’m in step with. So, as the next step on my quest to defy the effects of aging, I decided to try the Ageless Future Detoxifying Mask by Dead Sea Premier. Who could deny that the name alone is very enticing?

Basics: It’s a mask (yep, that’s why it is in the name). It is low maintenance – no special 5-step process or ritual. Simply put, it measures out pretty much as much as you need in 2 pumps. You spread it thinly across your face and neck. It goes to work to detoxify your skin, and “helps to eliminate the four signs of aging: fine lines [I have those], uneven skin tone [don't even get me started], poor skin texture [not yet, but I'm going to fight that], surface dullness [yep.]”

Extravagance: I’ve been trying to find a way to describe how this product feels. I’ve toyed with many over-the-top descriptions… some that I was flat out told were not conveying the magic in it’s workings. So, here’s my non-descriptive description – it foams (actually it’s really more of a bubbling) when you apply it. I let it sit on my skin as all of these tiny, itty-bitty, microscopic bubbles pop. The first time I used it, I giggled. The second time, I giggled. The third… I’m sure you get my point. It tickles, and it feels really good. My husband described it as an “invigorating tingling sensation.”

So, the best thing I can liken it to is having a million little fairies blowing on your face… Meh, maybe that’s going too far. How about hundreds of teeny fingers giving you a massage? I don’t know. I think you’re going to have to try this one yourself.

Also, the packaging is beautiful – small glass bottle, with a good sized pump to make application easy. And you won’t be ashamed to have it out on your counter, if you choose.

Imperfections: None. Seriously. I will, however, offer this advice… moisturize after you use it. It will leave your skin feeling a little tight – which, to those of us who were taught that the #1 key to keeping youthful skin is moisturizing, is a no-no.

To Sum It Up: All-in-all, it is pretty rad. It’s quick enough that you can add it to your morning routine – wash your face in the shower, apply the mask (in lieu of a toner), rinse and moisturize. You will have firm, supple, even-toned skin for the day. I haven’t been using it long enough to speak to the “ageless future”, but I’m hopeful.

Review: Dead Sea Premier Night Cream Complex

Okay, so I’m on the quest for the age controlling products. I have no claim to expect that I will reverse the damage I’ve done to my skin – fair skin in the sun for most of the eighties, and too many years of smoking… but I’ve been diligent enough with my skin care that I don’t look ten years older than I am.

I will always be searching – until I find the perfect products. My most recent trial: Dead Sea Premier’s Night Cream Complex.

Basics: It is a night cream with anti pigmentation elements, and claims to disappear damage done by sun and age. I’m in!

Extravagance: It’s one of the Dead Sea Premier’s double duty products. I love that! There is a gel that you sparingly apply, let sit for 30 seconds, then rinse with water. The gel is supposed to “absorb the oxygen from the water to your skin.” Not sure what that means, but I’m sure it is really cool! And it smells good!

Imperfection: The cream is really heavy, which I’m certain is part of why it works to really moisturize skin. I did have a couple of very small whiteheads pop up the morning after I used the product, but my skin was very smooth and supple.

To sum it up: The cream may be a bit heavy for my skin, but I think it is mostly in the effect that I can feel it on my skin. It did not wreck my efforts for clear skin, and left my face feeling and looking fresh. I’ll keep using it, though I have to admit, I probably won’t make it an every night thing.

In February, I made a 1 month commitment to try a new skin care routine. I used: Dead Sea Premier Luxury Facial Cleanser (Reviewed on 3/2), Dead Sea Premier Biox Intensive Age Treatment Serum (Reviewed on 3/16), and Dead Sea Premier Anti Aging / Anti Wrinkle Cream.

I was having some trouble with breakouts when I first started the new routine, and figured that it was the standard “starting something new” thing. So, I weathered through for a bit, but finally had to give up the cream. It just didn’t work for me.

Basics: It is very rich, and likely ideal for dry or weathered skin.

Extravagance: It promises to replenish skin, and increase elasticity.

Imperfections: My skin did not like it. First, I used it twice a day, then cut it back to nights only, and finally cut it out of the process.

I would love to hear from people who have had success with this cream, as I fear my skin is too oily to benefit from this product.

I have a stern brow-line. It’s bad. More often than not, if I’m sitting at my desk, focusing on my work, people assume I’m doing something I really don’t want to do. I just look angry.

I remember sitting with a coworker at a past job, mixing work with a little bit of social bonding, and he told me that he’d seen a show on TV with an actress that looked a lot like me. He pulled a picture up on his computer to show the other people in his office. I was really flattered… until he said this: “She looks just like you, but happy!”

I’m happy! I’m usually on the verge of giddy. Grrrr, I hate my wrinkles!

So, I tried this: Dead Sea Premier’s Biox Intensive Age Treatment Serum.

Basics: It’s a topical alternative to Botox – a pinkish gel with red specks. You apply it after cleansing and toner (if you use it), and before moisturizer. The tiniest pump will cover my entire forehead and the dread between-the-brows “H” (you know, the creases that imply displeasure.)

Extravagance: The bottle is beautiful. Heavy red glass, with an elegant shape that you’ll want to leave out on your counter. Also, to state the obvious, no excruciatingly painful injections!

Imperfections: The bottle is glass. I’m a klutz. My Biox is now in a tiny food-storage container. I suppose that’s my downfall, not the downfall of the product. <sigh>

All-in-all, I saw improvement. I could feel when a scowl was coming on, and correct it. It didn’t have the same “total freezing” of the muscles that I hear Botox does, but my results were noticed by others as well. Take, for instance, these recent quotes:

“You’ve been very calm lately.”

“Wow, you seem a little distant.”

“You look well-rested.”

I’ll take all of them!!!

Yummy!

I’ve used a lot of salt and sugar scrubs in my time, and I love the way they make my skin feel. As I’ve told you before, it’s my favorite pre-shaving treatment for my legs… it just gives me such smooth results.

This one… HERO!

Basics: The Dead Sea Premier Exotica Aromatic Mineral Body Treatment is, of course, a salt scrub. It is not too oily (so less shower slippage), and it smells terrific – which leads me to the extravagance….

Extravagance: This stuff smells awesome. I find myself using less of it because I want it to last longer. You know what! I’m figuring out that a little goes a long long way! It smells a little like a vacation – more tropical than the ingredients would imply. The strongest scent is the almond oil, but there are hints of tropical flower. Truly a great eye-opener (especially if you are like me, and drag yourself to the shower in the morning like a zombie!)

Imperfections: None! Fact!

Buy it… I hope you’ll love it too!

A little over a month ago, I decided to swap out my known morning and night facial routine, and try a complete Dead Sea product routine.

The first, and perhaps most important part of this routine, was the Dead Sea Premier Luxury Facial Cleanser.

Basics: It is really creamy. Much more-so than I expected. The cleanser includes “micro grains” so I anticipated… well… more of a scrub feeling from it. Frankly, the “micro grains” were undetectable.

Extravagance: While the Facial Cleanser is very creamy, it rinses very clean – no greasy residue. My face felt clean the first time I used it. And, it takes make-up off effectively. I did not even have to use an eye make-up remover!

Imperfections: Of course, with any new skin care regimen, breakouts are more likely. I had made a 1-month commitment to the new routine, so I continued to use through the minor blemishes that occurred after about the third day.

My face cleared up quickly, and I carried on through the month. My skin was not clearer than when I started, and I still have some red marks where the blemishes were,though I never felt like my skin was not getting proper cleansing.

My husband is now using the product – and it goes a very, very long way – we still have about a third of the cleanser left!

I have since returned to my old face wash. For now, I’m not giving it up.

Next week I’ll fill you in on the next step of the trial routine!

Hello!

<a href= Dead Sea Premier aromatic bath crystals" title="Dead Sea Premier aromatic bath crystals" width="350" height="263" class="alignright size-full wp-image-44" />I had a rough day – work was fine (just really busy) and I’m recovering from an annoying cold that has left my body sore and feeling like I’ve been beaten with a big stick.

So, what better way to end the day than a nice meal and a soothing bath?

I started the tub, lit a candle and poured in the recommended amount of Dead Sea Premier Aromatic Bath Salt Crystals. The bathroom was instantly infused with a very strong perfume. I knew this was going to be just what I needed….

Basics: These salts promise energizing and purifying effects. They are infused with lavender, eucalyptus, lemon and bergamot. They dissolved quickly, and thoroughly. Yay! Nothing is worse than sinking into your bath and being assaulted by a lot of sharp grainy bath salts.

Extravagance: Apparently you can also use the bath salts with a liquid soap as a scrub. I’ve used the Dead Sea Premier Body Scrub, and know that this is a wonderful “other” use for these bath salts.

Imperfections: I did not care for the scent. It was over-powering. I had a really hard time hunkering down and just enjoying the peace. Perhaps the cold made my sense of smell go wonky.

If you like a more perfumey smell, this bath salt may be just the thing for you. It does not smell bad… just a little bit strong for my taste.

Would love to hear what you think of it!

In the meantime, I’m going to keep looking for just the right thing for relaxation!

I’d like to think that I have some will-power, but being married has proven that, in my private life, I have none. Of course, I resist many urges, and any vices I may have can be excused with what I perceive to be choice. Still, many things go undone because I don’t have the will resist urges to do something better or more fun!

C’mon, I was a free-thinking, independent woman with a career and a social life! Who would care if my bedroom was less than clean or a bill was pushed to the last possible pay date because I needed a pair of shoes now?

My husband, on the other hand, is the epitome of will-power and self-discipline. He has a strict rule about not ruining a nice night by doing the dinner dishes, but you can rest assured that the dishes will be done first thing in the morning. He resists any urges he may have to be lazy and chooses to walk to the market rather than drive. CHOOSES!!. And, he will not walk through our bedroom doorway without doing pull-ups on the bar he strategically hung.

Is he crazy? Or is it me?

Well, I’m here to admit that I am the one with the problem… and I can prove it. I am a chronic picker! I cannot see a blemish on my face without giving in to my urge to attack it and perform surgery. Oh, the shame! Blackheads are my favorite. I know, I’m disgusting!

I don’t generally have urges to attack others because I do have a sense of decency and personal space… and even if I did; my self-loathing mandates at least some control.

So, in trying to be more like my sweet, dear husband, in this New Year, I am devoted to continuing on my journey of discovering my will-power!

As any addict will tell you, once you’ve admitted your affliction, it is a good idea to remove the temptation. This is where the aptly named Dead Sea Premier Miracle Mask Noir comes in.

<a href= Dead Sea Premier Miracle Mask Noir" width="300" height="225" align="left" />Basics: The Miracle Mask is a mud mask, with an element of exfoliant and toner. You use a slight scrubbing motion when applying, and your face will tingle a little. The application is a bit messy, but it cleans up nicely. The smell is a little medicinal – mostly a strong scent of eucalyptus, I think. Once you have removed the “mud”, you are left with a layer of oil on your skin that you will wash off with a gentle cleanser. Your skin will feel very soft, and look a little rosy.

Extravagance: The removal is the magic of this mask. The mud comes off with a “solid mud block” that magnetically (YES! MAGNETICALLY!) lifts the mud from your face… and takes with it the contents of every single blackhead. It’s true… clears every pore!

Imperfection: I can only use the mask on my chin and around my nose… the prime spots for blackheads. My cheeks and forehead are too prone to acne, and this product is definitely not for acne prone skin (it even says so on the bottle: “ALL SKIN EXCEPT ACNE”.) Further, it is really potent stuff… so I can’t use it more than every other week without upsetting my sensitive skin. The instructions recommend at least 60 hours between uses.

So far so good with my resolution. I have zero temptation. So, for today at least, my face is safe from my scanning eyes and tools of torture!

Review – Adovia Dead Sea Salt Scrub (Ocean Breeze) and Dead Sea Premier Milk and Honey Aromatic Body Butter

At the arm twisting of a friend, I recently read the first Twilight book. I’m too old for it. I know. I still liked it. So, when the movie came out, I really kinda wanted to go see it… then decided that I didn’t want to go to a theater full of tween and teen girls. You may think it is because I’m annoyed by them (which may be a little bit true), but really, the embarrassing truth is that I cannot stand going into a place full of clear skinned beauties… I don’t think my fragile old lady ego could take it.

I mostly jest, but it is true that keeping a youthful glow starts taking a lot more effort once you skip out of your twenties, and start stumbling toward your forties! That is why I am a fanatic about scrubs and moisturizers. Maybe it’s more than you wanted to know, but I have moisturized post-shower every day since I was in high school. I s’pose at the time I started it I didn’t really consider that it would help keep my skin younger looking. I just figured that scaly skin was icky. Now, it’s purely out of necessity. Ah, isn’t it grand to be pushing 40?!?

I think I’ve found a winning combo: Adovia /SeaOra Dead Sea Salt Scrub, Ocean Breeze & Dead Sea Premier Milk and Honey Aromatic Body Butter.

Dead Sea Premier Body Butter" title="Dead Sea Premier Body Butter" width="225" align="left" />

The Basics: Both smell really nice. The scrub smells a little strong initially, though it is quite pleasant. After the shower, the smell doesn’t linger on too much. If you’ve never used a scrub, this is a nice one to start with. I like to do a full scrub before taking on the chore of shaving. It works to soften the skin, and I think it really makes for a smoother leg.

The Extravagance: The body butter is subtle and light. It’s not a greasy lotion, as many body butters are. It absorbs quickly, and it doesn’t leave you feeling all slick. And it works. I decided to do a sort of “taste” test, and asked my husband and my mom to try it. My husband quite liked it, and has agreed to let me give him a facial next. Don’t judge. He’s a very manly man. My mother… whom I think you can imagine is a tough one to please… loved the lotion (yay for birthday gift ideas!!). The best part is that all three of us have really awkward body chemistries… I mean, each of us have independently complained that something that smells wonderful in the jar smells awful on us, but not this time. The Milk & Honey actually didn’t create a bio-chemical hazard for any of us!

The Imperfections: Can’t really think of one… though I think next time I’m going to try this scrub instead: Adovia / SeaOra Dead Sea Salt Scrub, Coconut Vanilla

While I know that this is not my key to fitting in with the tweens, it is nice to have these luxuries now that I’m a little older. I imagine being… well, my age… is cool enough. And I can afford better shoes!

I love… and I mean LOVE the Dead Sea Premier Professional Peeling Mask. I’ve been using this stuff for almost a year now… sometimes twice a week, and sometimes months in between. It’s a use-it-as-you-need-it, you-can-always-rely-on-it, perfect-solution mask. Do I oversell? Maybe, but I’m going on record with the fact that it has saved me from many gnarly stress, pre-menstrual and environmental acne attacks.

Here’s the basics: It doesn’t have a terrible odor, it’s low-maintenance to use (just apply the mud, let it dry and rub/crumble it off with your fingers), it clears up blemishes, eases up red and irritated skin, and comes with a lightly scented smoothing gel that leaves your skin glowing.

Here’s the extravagance: The packaging is cool in that the mask and gel are in one jar – the lid has a separate lid within to contain the gel.

And here’s the imperfection: Meh, the plastic the lid is made from is a little fragile. Just be careful not to let your slippery hands destroy your coveted mask.

Also, my mom pointed out that she feels morbid using this product line – “Dead” Sea Premier feels a little uncomfortable to her. LOL! I’ll give you that the name is a little off-putting… but when something works, I think we can get past it, right?

Call me over zealous, but I’m sprung on this mask! And don’t take my word for it; try it yourself!
