Friends, I have an excellent product to share with you. Recently, I was very generously gift a Time Defiance Skincare set by Artistry. The set includes a facial clenaser, a toner, a night lotion, and a day lotion with SPF 15. Anyone who has read my blog or any other postings in this column - well, you know I am kind of a skincare fiend so I was really excited to try this out.

I started using it during the Miss America pageant, following the instructions to cleanse, tone, and moisturize both in the morning and at night.

And? I am in love. I have serious grown up feelings for this product line. Seriously.

The cleanser is SO moisturizing and smells SO good - my face feels super clean but also soft and pampered - a real bonus in this cold Michigan winter.

I don't usually like toners, to be honest. I think they can be drying and kind of a waste of money, but this toner is almost like a gel and really smoothes my face and preps it for the moisturizer. I ended up gettng the combination skin formula, which comes with skin lotion and not skin cream. I wasn't sure it would be enough for my winter skin, but it is! 

My skin hasn't been this nice since, well...maybe ever? Don't get me wrong - I take good care of my skin. But this product line has cleared up problem areas I have had since I hit puberty. Have I mentioned I am in love?
