For the last few months, I've been incredibly busy and stressed. With so little time and energy I often neglected to hydrate properly. How do you fight the look of dull, dehydrated skin? I would constantly drink up water and cut down on sugars, but almost forgot about the outside layers of my skin without realizing how it's very possible to have poor water circulation in our faces. But here it was - Vichy's new Aqualia Thermal Dynamic Hydration line - Serum and Light Cream or Rich Care designed to rehydrate the skin by spreading water throughout the face.

Both the cream and the serum are gentle and light enough for most skin types. I saw an improvement almost immediately as the products are exceptionally hydrating and uplifting, the skin felt so plump and the cream worked so well as a makeup base. The product line's formula is a combination of Vichy's Thermal Spa Water and energizing sugars to achieve an even distribution of water in all facial zones.

PROS:

• Radiant skin
• Immediate plumping effect
• Refreshing and light
• High concentration of Vichy Thermal Spa Water
• Paraben free, of course
• Non greasy, non sticky
• Dehydration lines are smoothed out
• Fresh texture that melts on the skin
• Provides lasting hydration
• Well packaged

CONS: None noted

Overall, Vichy's Aqualia Thermal Dynamic Hydration helps to distribute moisture evenly throughout the face for a fresh look, giving an ideal state of beautiful skin - smooth and plump! Ladies, gives this one a try, it's a great line from Vichy.

Australian-made and natural, Dr. Roebuck's is the natural active skincare line formulated 'for all things precious' aka our skin. The Pure Body cream is incredibly hydrating, enriched with powerful anti-oxidants from France, White Tea, Macadamia Oil and Vitamin E all working harmoniously with Shea Butter base.

My over-exposed to sun, dry skin is suddenly rehydrated, moisturized and tightened. The cream is thick in texture, but non greasy, free of nasty chemicals, and ensures efficacy for the most sensitive skin. It can also greatly help in the reversal of sun damage - which is one of the reasons why I've been using it.

PROS:

• Enriched with powerful antioxidants 
• Natural and chemicals free
• Great for sensitive skin
• Anti-aging
• BPA & Paraben Free
• Tightens skin
• Hydrates well
• Creamy texture
• Non-greasy
• Pleasant scent

CONS:
Takes a while to apply all over the body
