rescue me: kiehl’s skin rescuer stress-minimizing daily hydrator

So I know I’ve been MIA lately but, forgive me, I’ve been a bit all over the place. In between starting a new job, trying to be a young twenty-something in New York, and looking for an apartment I’ve been crazed. To say stressed would be an understatement - even if that stress is self induced because I’m a worrier. Throughout the month of May I’ve been living off of Kiehl’s Skin Rescuer ever since I received the sample and pored over the press release.

When you feel stress, the brain sends signals to your vital organs, which then trigger your organs to react to the stress aggression. You know the feeling: your heart starts beating faster, your muscles tense, and your skin can go haywire - inflammation, redness, dullness, blotchiness, you name it (which can lead to premature aging)! My biggest issue is dehydrated skin. I’m constantly ashy or peeling and no matter how much moisturizer I apply it looks dull.

Scared, yet?

To combat this Kiehl’s introduced their newest product, the Skin Rescuer Stress-Minimizing Daily Hydrator. I’m afraid to call it a moisturizer simply because it’s SUPER lightweight and allows me to apply my normal moisturizer (with SPF) over it without leaving me feeling greasy or heavy. With the help of the ingredients Mannose (a barrier protecting rare sugar that shields and helps maintain skin to promote recovery) and Rosa Gallica (anti-inflammatory agent), the formula limits the release of stress signals to the skin.

My skin was less irritated, less dry, and overall happier. Good lookin’ out Kiehl’s!
