Mario Badescu Herbal Hydrating Serum Review January 21, 2009

Since my boyfriend lives and works up in Massachusetts I find myself flying up more often to visit. I tell you, the cold weather is brutal up North. I bet if my skin had feelings it would be totally confused and if my skin could talk it would say “Will you please choose a climate!” So of course I rely on my favorite skin care company to take care of my skin, Mario Badescu Herbal Hydrating Serum.

Here are the full ingredients: Deionized Water, Glycerin, Methylparaben, Triethanolamine, Propylene Glycol, Herbal Extracts: Ginseng Extract, Gingko Extract, and Ceramides.

I really like this hydrating serum, mostly because it’s not too heavy, especially because I suffer from oily skin =(
So I can mix this serum with my other favorite moisturizers or simply use it alone. The fact that I can customize the usage is a great advantage since my skin varies from time to time and climate to climate.

Herbal Hydrating Serum (1 oz.) – $ 30.00
From: Mario Badescu Skin Care

I started trying out the Herbal Hydrating Serum late December and I must say I really do like the results. I never applied this serum as a night moisturizer, only during the daytime when my skin is most affected by the climate. It kept my skin smooth and soft, and of course, no heavy greasy feeling. I hate it when my face feels all gooped up. So this is definitely a dry skin product I’ll be using a lot more often.

So if you have dry skin problems I recommend you give Mario Badescu Herbal Hydrating Serum a try.

Dry Skin Care Products By Mario Badescu January 11, 2009

Here is another great short video put out by Mario Badescu. It shows one of their skin care experts explaining how to deal dry skin properly. I absolutely agree with everything she says in this video. It is very important to use a toner that will not strip away all the moisture from our face. Such harsh products should be banned in my opinion. Very helpful information and tips from the expert.

Here is a list of Mario Badescu products that I know are great for treating and reducing dry skin. The reason why I chose these is because they are very effective. But most importantly its because they are light, non greasy, and non skin clogging.
