The Moisturizer Of My Dreams

Korres Greek Yoghurt Advanced Nourishing Sleeping Facial
Retail Price:$45.00

What it is formulated to do:
A centuries-old Greek remedy for skin soothing, moisturizing Greek Yoghurt provides a natural source of proteins, minerals, and vitamins to instantly nourish stressed, dry skin. This ultrahydrating facial-in-a-jar contains a Greek Yoghurt concentrate with two and a half times the protein content of regular yogurt, and works overnight to provide skin with intense, long-term moisturization and nourishment to create a smooth, even complexion. You will wake up to noticeable improvements in skin texture and more moisturized, refreshed skin. 

Okay,it has taken me HONESTLY years to find a moisturizer that i love putting on my face.I have odd skin,i have hormonal breakouts on my chin and jaw line (plus some acne scarring which makes me wanna throw myself in front of a train) however i am no where near oily.I classify myself as having normal/dry skin.I've tried numerous brands,the last one being kate somerville,and i have hated them all.I have been unable to find a moisturizer that did what i want it to do.Perhaps i was asking for too much,but apparently not!Heres a condensed list of what i want my moisturizer to do.

1.Not break me out (the obvious)
2.Actually make me skin feel hydrated,and not just for one minute.I hate those moisturizers that feel good after you cleanse and then after a nano second your skin goes back to feeling like a tight rubber band.
3.Not make my face look/feel slimy

I recently started doing a murad cleansing routine because my acne was getting out of hand.So far i like the results,however everyone knows that acne products make your skin dry as hell.So i needed to find a moisturizer that put back exactly what the murad was stripping out to make a perfect balance that would benefit my skin entirely.No one likes to apply foundation in the morning and see it clinging to dry patchy skin.

After i cleanse at night,i apply a VERY generous amount to my face.Its definitely more on the thick side yet to me it never feels greasy.The texture of it is almost like a mousse.It has a very light fresh smell to it.Nothing uber fake or alcohol-y.When you first slather it on,it has a light cooling affect on the skin which is honestly,the best feeling in the world.Nothing strong enough to make your skin look flushed but its honestly so calming.When i wake up the next morning,my skin feels so soft but doesn't have the odd slime film left over my face.It sounds so cliche to say,but it honestly made my skin glow.My mom actually asked me what i did to my skin because of how nice it looked.It hasn't broken me out either.My skin literally drinks this stuff up like a washington apple (personal cocktail of choice.)I was shocked that it didn't even rub all over my pillow.Even if it did,i didn't see it or smell it the next day.I no longer suffer from tight face at night (well i do for about a minute until i grab this baby.)If you have dry skin and you have tried absolutely everything,cheap and pricey,stop what you're doing and go pick this up or grab a sample.I promise you it will change your life.If you don't have super dry or flaky skin i'd say this would probably be too much for you.I'd opt for the regular greek yoghurt moisturizer that they also have.I've read great reviews on that stuff as well!

Give it up for healthy skin!
