Hi Jennifer! You can't imagine how helpful this post is for me. Today I was just reading about Perricone MD No Foundation Foundation on an other blog, but it was nothing mentioned about the price and place where I can find it. I will definitely check it out at Sephora and I really hope they've got it here in my country also. I love the idea that it can replace the foundation because this year I've been using less and less foundation and I was searching for a good product with SPF. This is also against wrinkles and I know I have a cold winter ahead of me so, I hope it will work.

Have u ever tried the clinique moisture surge extended relief moisturizer? It's amazing especially for winter. For summer u can switch it up for the moisture surge face spray. They are both oil-free so they don't cause pimples n break outs. When i use them in combination with zit cream or other acne spot gels, it works even better!!!

Our face is important to take care of through all seasons espeially in winter. When who has a very dry skin, normally it gets drier. The same happens in summer for people who have oily skin. It seems like trough the season it keeps coming out. We do alot of things during our days. 10 minutes at morning and another 10 at night won't do us any harm. Surly it won't change a routine. We need to take care of our faces, cause when we're full of pimples it's too late!
