WEEKLY MUST-HAVE: The Organic Pharmacy Double Rose Rejuvenating Face Cream

This winter is really waging war against my skin. Dry, cracked and brittle are my hands, feet, elbows and face. While we've already been over budget-friendly picks for body lotions as well as high-end choices for body cream, here is a must-have for the face: The Organic Pharmacy's Double Rose Rejuvenating Face Cream for all skin types.

The cream is free from artificial preservatives, colors, fragrances and petrochemicals. It contains rose and rose hip to nourish and ginger, gotu kola and marigold to promote cell regeneration, reduce broken capillaries and make the skin glow. But my favorite part of this cream is how fresh it feels -- and smells -- when applied to the skin. It's not thick but not necessarily thin either. The consistency is malleable (if that makes any sense at all) and a little spreads a long way while leaving skin feeling refreshed, smelling like pure roses and looking radiant.

It's truly a gift to any skin type. Use with additonal moisturizers for a heavier cream or alone to keep it lighter. You can add in The Organic Pharmacy's Antioxidant Serum and Gel for a full organic approach to skincare.

And remember to try the lip and eye cream -- it's obsession-worthy!

Double Duty: Eye and Lip Cream from The Organic Pharmacy

How I love a multi-tasking product. Couple that with my adoration for all things eye cream and you have true, unrequited love.


Enter The Organic Pharmacy, a British import, and my newest favorite organic line of skincare goods sans artificial preservatives, fragrances, colorants, petrochemicals and animal ingredients.

The Lip & Eye Cream is a super nourishing, dual action cream that replenishes moisture to the lips and eye area, strengthens cells and acts as a protective barrier for the sensitive skin. It's gentle enough to use every day and perfect for mornings as it brightens and helps to reduce puffiness and dark circles. The cream smells slightly medicinal and literally leaves eye and lip area plump, refreshed and glistening. I'm obsessed!

Here are the highlighted organic ingredients and their effects:

• Eye Bright: a wonderful tonic and anti-inflammatory for the eye area
• Fennel: antibacterial, decongesting and toning action
• Evening primrose oil: high essential fatty acid content helps repair dry cracked lips
• Frankincense: anti-wrinkle and anti-inflammatory action
• Bilberry: high in anti-oxidants and gentle fruit acids that reduce redness while toning and rejuvenating the skin
• Rosehip: clinically proven to reduce scarring and the appearance of wrinkles, while conditioning the skin
• Marigold: anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, soothing and healing

If you're in the market for a new eye cream, I urge you to try this one. Besides the green factor, which I heart, it really does open your eyes to bigger and better things! I've been using mine every day and have never received so many compliments. I swear, the wrinkles are dissipating (well, maybe that's wishful thinking!).
