Created in partnership with acclaimed US dermatologist Dr. Noëlle Sherber, M.D., F.A.A.D. (Harvard University, The Johns Hopkins School of Medicine; Columbia University), Soleil meets the need for a best-in-breed multi-tasker.

This powerhouse tinted fluid gives skin instant radiant coverage, while at the same time, fights the most common signs of aging. Packed with all-mineral SPF 20, this fluid fortifies skin with anti-oxidant protection, evens skin tone, and wages war on wrinkles. The sheer tint gently transforms the skin to the most natural honeyed perfection and is suitable for all skin tones. Developed with brush- on effortless application, the silky fluid texture glides on the skin, creating suppleness and luminosity while safeguarding and preserving the complexion now and over time. Your serum in shining armor has arrived!

Screen Shot 2015-05-21 at 1.09.21 PMI would say that anything worth doing well is worth procrastinating.  This applies for everything from term papers in college, to parking tickets in the real world and of course skin care. Procrastination in skin care looks a little like this:  Monday night skincare routine, fall asleep in kid’s bed with dirty face.  Tuesday morning skincare routine, wake up in different kid’s bed then exercise.  Tuesday night skincare routine, fall asleep in dog’s bed.  Wednesday morning skincare routine, wake up in kid’s bed then carpool.  Wednesday night skincare routine, “shit I should hang out with my husband and my skin looks hideous!”  So when you rely on last minute quick fixes to undo days of damage, they better be good.

The absolute best for the most reasonable price point were both developed my Dimitri James, world renowned make up artist and life changer.  The first is  DermAppeal ($35.00).  It’s a Thermo-Enzymatic Microdermabrasion treatment with VC5 Crystal Technology that you only need to apply for a minute or so twice a week and it literally transforms your sensitive skin into a face that has been gently exfoliated daily (ha!). It also has this cool minty smell that opens up my constantly clogged sinuses (Jewish girl curse) and makes the entire one minute process feel like a quick trip to the eucalyptus room at your favorite totally over-priced spa.

Part 2 of operation “holy shit why did I not wash my face for days?” is aptly called “Take The Weekend Off.”  It’s a thick gooey creme that immediately absorbs into the skin so you don’t even know it’s there.   It’s completely translucent so you can read your children to bed without scaring them or have sex with your husband without repulsing him.  It’s the ultimate in multi-tasking.  You can literally connect with your kids, save your marriage, get a good night’s sleep,  all while cleaning out impurities in your skin and doing away with fine lines.

You’re welcome.
