If there is one thing I learned from watching the Spring fashion shows, it’s that 2017 is going to be the year of the décolleté!

Super-low cut frocks and tops popped up in almost every designer’s collection, which means it’s time to forgo the bra, order some double-sided stylist tape, and summon enough confidence to go (somewhat) bare-chested.

I’ll admit that I don’t pay that much attention to my chest area when it comes to my beauty routine. And it shows. As you can see in the first photo below, I have horizontal wrinkles and crepiness at the top of my chest right underneath my clavicle.

When the lovely folks from SiO (which stands for Skin Innovation Overnight) reached out to see if I wanted to try their new “Overnight Décolleté Wrinkle Smoother” SkinPad, I was thrilled!

The SiO SkinPad is designed to be worn overnight and can be re-used up to 15 times. Each package comes with two pads so you can do an entire month’s worth of treatment, which is exactly what I did.

I have to admit it felt weird the first time I placed the silicone pad on my chest (and I got even weirder looks from the manfriend.) But it’s actually quite comfortable and once it was on, I kind of forgot about it.

The results? I actually noticed them after the first night I wore the SkinPad. My skin was definitely softer and smoother. The more I used the pad, the more I started to notice the wrinkles softening. The combination of the pre-treatment Décolleté Cleansing Discs and the post-treatment Décolleté Serum acted as a one-two punch for exfoliating and fading the sun damage and freckles. The whole treatment worked so well that now I’m thinking of using it on my neck because – as you can see – I’m starting to get those pesky little horizontal lines there too. (Aging sucks, but it sure as hell beats the alternative.)

Bottom line: If you’re planning on braving the low-cut trend, consider the SiO Skin Pad treatment as your pre-plunge-prep. Just don’t forget the double-sided tape. Unless you’re ready to free the nipple!

My somewhat sensitive skin has found its savior. Her name is Colleen Rothschild. I am absolutely OBSESSED with her products. Especially her latest – the Mandelic Acid Radiance Serum, which I swear has made me look years younger in just a few weeks.

I have very fair skin and I freckle easily. Yes, freckles are cute, but when you get older and they turn into plain old dark spots…not so cute. I’ve written extensively about how I don’t go out of the house without sunscreen on, but I’ve still managed to get a few dark spots. Especially on my hands!

I’ve been using the Mandelic Acid Radiance Serum twice a day on my face and on my hands, and I have to tell you, the results are astonishing. Not only have my dark spots faded significantly, but my pores actually seem smaller and tighter. Every morning when I look in the mirror, my skin just looks healthy and vibrant. And the dark spots on my hands have practically disappeared! (Which makes me very happy, as I’m constantly posting manicure photos on Instagram and have been very self-conscious about how old my hands look!)

This serum is a wonder product that not only helps to fade dark spots, but it exfoliates your skin without any type of harsh scrubbing. It goes on like a layer of silk. And don’t even get me started on the smell! All of Colleen’s product are formulated with a scent that makes you swear you’re in a five-star resort spa.

The Mandelic Acid Radiance Serum is packed with three types of potent acids:

1. Mandelic Acid –  to refine & resurface the top layer of skin
2. Lactic Acid – to improve overall tone & texture of the skin
3. Salicylic Acid – to heal acne scars, fade fine lines & dark spots, and promote overall clearer skin

Bottom line. If you’re looking for a new “wonder” serum to add to your morning and evening skincare regimen, this is the one. And I would highly recommend using it on your hands as well. Especially if you want to post pretty manicure photos on Instagram. You may even find yourself posting #nofilter selfies too!

Do you ever find a beauty product that you instantly love so much you can’t imagine how you ever lived without it? I recently had that beauty “OMG” moment when I tried Colleen Rothschild‘s Cleansing Balm.

Up until a couple of weeks ago, I have to admit that I wasn’t very familiar with Colleen Rothschild or her [amazing] skincare products. But then I received the loveliest package in the mail containing the Radiant Cleansing Balm and Clarifying Detox Mask.

I have somewhat sensitive combination skin. Lately, I’ve just been using moistened facial wipes to cleanse my face in the evenings because my other cleansers were leaving my skin red and irritated.

I have never used any type of balm on my face…other than lip balm, of course. When I opened the jar, the scent of the product was so amazing that I felt like I had just walked into a swanky spa.

Once I applied the balm to my face, it felt so insanely luxurious that I didn’t even want to wash it off. So I didn’t. Well, for a while. I used warm water to wet the muslin cloth that comes with the balm and placed it over my face for about five minutes. And I still didn’t want to take it off.

But I also wanted to try the Clarifying Detox mask.  So I rinsed off the balm, and I have to say, my skin felt amazing. No redness, no dryness, no irritation. Just super clean and that lingering spa smell.

Next, I applied the mask. I do use masks on a regular basis because I have a very oily T-Zone with large pores. I left the mask on for ten minutes while I laid under an umbrella by my pool. (It was full on spa-day now!) When I rinsed it off, my skin felt firm, but not tight. And again, no redness. Just a nice healthy glow.

Sometimes even I, a beauty blogger, am bad about remembering to wash my face and take my makeup off in the evening. I mean, I usually remember that I SHOULD, but sometimes I’m just too tired to do it. But now I am so addicted to this cleansing balm that I actually look forward to washing my face every night. Now every day is spa day.
