How I Got the Softest Skin I’ve Ever Had

December 2, 2015 · by Tiffany Merritt · Leave a Comment


Disclosure: Sponsored by JERGENS® Skincare through their partnership with POPSUGAR Select. While I was compensated to write a post about Jergens Wet Skin Moisturizer, all opinions are my own.

In mid-November I had the luxury of spending a weekend in Ft. Meyers, Florida. I left Tennessee temperatures that were falling fast (with lows in the upper ’30s) and spent 3 days basking in the warm glow of the Gulf Coast sun.

I was also reminded of the intense humidity of the area. Since it wasn’t too hot, it actually felt amazing, though. And my skin was in heaven! All that moisture in the air helped my skin stay nicely hydrated.

But since I can’t move myself down to Florida just for the sake of beautiful skin, I need some alternatives that will help me lock moisture in, and this is especially critical as we head toward winter (which for me, seems to be the most difficult time of year for my skin’s happiness).

Have you spotted Jergens Wet Skin Moisturizer on the lotion aisle at your favorite store, yet? It comes in 3 scents (Monoi Oil, Green Tea Oil and Coconut Oil). I went for Monoi Oil for one key reason: I’d never heard of it! A quick Google search taught me that monoi oil is made by soaking Tahitian Gardenia petals in coconut oil to achieve a beautifully scented final product. Mission accomplished, Jergens! This stuff smells AMAZING!

Ok, so going by the name, you are probably realizing that this is a product to use your skin is still wet. Why is that? Well it turns out that the very best time to moisturize your skin is when it is still wet. So bring your Jergens Wet Skin Moisturizer into the shower with you, and apply it to your skin after you turn off the water, but before you reach for the towel. By doing this, you are locking in hydration at the optimal time, which will yield optimal results!

So does applying lotion to wet skin take some adjustment time? Of course! But I’d challenge you to use the product for a week and see if you don’t notice a significant difference in how moisturized your skin feels all day long by the end of that 7 days. Based on my own experience, I think you’ll be very pleased with your results, and will feel motivated to keep reaching for Jergens Wet Skin Moisturizer before you reach for your towel. And if you are worried that you have to stand in your shower for a few minutes to let the moisturizer soak in before toweling off, that hasn’t been my experience. The product absorbs very quickly, so after you apply it you can feel free to pat dry and move on to the next step in getting ready for your day or night. You won’t have to stand around in the bathroom waiting for your lotion to soak in like you used to before trying this great new product, which saves you time!

Try It!

Moisturizer, Powerful Suncreen and Makeup Coverage in One Product (GIVEAWAY!!!)

June 7, 2011 · by Tiffany Merritt · 56 Comments

I don’t have to personally know you to say with confidence that you are a busy lady (unless of course you are a man, in which case I’d say that this post might not be of interest to you, personally).

We all have the same 24 hours in a day, and we pretty much all burn through them and are left at then end of the day wondering where the hours went, and why we weren’t able to do even more. We forget just how much we cram into our days (so much more than generations before us, thanks to “time saving” technologies that actually just keep us even busier!).

I can’t fix the problem of being ultra-busy for you today, but I can help you make one area of your life a bit more streamlined: your makeup routine.

Would you be interested in a single product that would do all of the following at one time:
moisturize your face
give you SPF 45 protection
provide a tinted matte coverage, which can serve as your foundation or as a base if you seek additional coverage

Well, friends. That product exists! It is called Revision Skincare’s Intellishade SPF 45 Matte, and it comes in only one color.

Does that bum you out?

It shouldn’t. Note part of the name….Intellishade. This stuff is guaranteed to work on every single skin tone. And the fact that it works on my skin tone (super pale) is very promising, because products that promise to work on everyone rarely work on the really pale folks! 🙂

Here’s a picture of me with NOTHING on (left), and then with Revision Intellishade SPF 45 applied (right):

I think the shade works great on my skin! And even at 30 years old (which I know, isn’t THAT old….but I’m not exactly bathing in the fountain of youth, anymore!) I find the coverage to be sufficient and I don’t add any additional foundation. Just powder, eyeshadow, blush, etc. I didn’t add all that stuff to the after shot because I always think when makeup companies do that, they are trying to pull a fast one on you! In fact, these aren’t even very flattering shots, but the point here is to focus on the color and coverage of the product, which impressed me, so I wanted you to see!

After using this product for a few weeks, I have to say that I really love it. It saves me time in the morning and I really love knowing that I have such a high SPF on my face. I can’t ever find makeup with such a high SPF! This makes Revision Intellishade a very smart choice for those of us who are pressed for time, need some coverage, and also need to protect our skin from those pesky UVA and UVB rays. Darah and I will be spending lots of time on playgrounds this summer, and I’m glad to know that my face will have just as much protection as my arms and legs!

Buy it!: Intellishade SPF 45 is only available through specialty offices, such as dermatologists, plastic surgeons or medical spas. This is because Revision Skincare wants to make sure its customers are properly educated about the best products in their line for their needs. Click here to find your nearest retailer! The ARV of the product is $48.

Win it!: One lucky Stuff Parents Need reader will win Revision Skincare’s Intellishade SPF 45 Matte! The contest will run until June 17th at 11:59pm EST when a winner will be selected via Random.org. The winner will have 48 hours to respond to winning notification before the prize is forfeited and a new winner is selected. Open to residents of the United States. Limit one entrant per household, please.

Mandatory entry: Tell me about another Revision Skincare product that interests you and why!

My answer: I could use the Gentle Buffing Cream to exfoliate once a week, or so.
