Eat your heart out Crème de la mer...

Eat your heart out Crème de la mer...

The biggest obsession of my lifetime is smooth glowing skin. You can wear all the illuminating foundation you want but nothing is a substitute for perfectly exfoliated and moisturized skin. The way your moisturizer reflects light matters as much as it's key ingredients. Most women would agree Crème de la Mer is the best of the best. It makes your skin look glowing and flawless. But at $130.00 an ounce it's a bit of a splurge for today's resessionista.

Also at the top of the heap is the Perricone line. Dr. Nicholas Perricone made his anti-aging brand famous through his PBS Lecture series and it certainly lives up to the hype. But even with well over 100 five star reviews on Sephora.com the $65.00 for 2 ounces price tag is a bit much these days. What's a girl (or guy) to do?

Enter our hero... alba Sea plus renewal cream. It's contains the perfect combination of active ingredients from la Mer and Perricone and the texture is more pleasant than either of them. Great for most skin types and has a gender neutral scent and priced at $14.99 it's an absolute steal! Available at Whole Foods and Target*. Also available online at Amazon.com
