Bye Bye Dehydrated/Dry Skin! Hello Elizabeth Grant!

Canadian winters wreak havoc on my skin. The dry conditions at home and the office combined with the harsh winter weather leaves my skin dry and dehydrated. I've tried a number of products and nothing really worked..until now.

First a run-down on my skincare regime. My skin gets ultra-sensitive in the winter and the only thing I use that seems to work for cleansing is Cetaphil. So I've stuck to that. Cetaphil moisturizer works well for me as well but not in the winter. It simply is not providing enough moisture.

Enter products from Elizabeth Grant, a Canadian line that specializes in anti-aging skin care products.

Now I'm not overly concerned about wrinkles and such, but I am all about taking care of skin. I was a bit skeptical when I had an opportunity to test out the products but I have been amazed at the results I've experienced in the past month since using the products.

For this post, I'll focus on the serums: Biocolassis Complex Advanced Cellular Age Defense Day Serum,  Night Serum and Eye Serum. All three products come with Elizabeth Grant’s exclusive Torricelumn,™ which the company claims to "help increase the hydration levels by both stimulating the synthesis of water transfer proteins localized in epidermal skin cell membranes and by boosting the natural levels of Hyaluronic acid found in the epidermis. This dual action plumps up the appearance. The skin becomes more resilient, deep lines and wrinkles appear minimized."

Each product has a pump applicator and all you need is one to two drops of the product and apply. You can add moisturizer after. I am using an Elizabeth Grant moisturizer as well for night. These serums are simply amazing. They absorb quickly, have no scent and your skin feels moisturized and supple to the touch. It does not affect makeup application -- makeup goes on smoothly and there are no dry flakes to be found. My skin has never felt better. It is not red, flaky or rough to the touch. I am truly amazed.

In early December, the skin under my eyes was so dehydrated that it got red and blotchy. It looked awful and I was scared that it would look like this all winter. This serum helped to hydrate the area and resolved the problem within a week. No joke.

The only con I can say at this point, is that it is on the higher end in terms of price, with the serums costing around $50 or more each Canadian. But if it works, it works so I see myself ordering more in the future. The Elizabeth Grant line is available internationally, on its Web site and the company is often featured on shopping channels. In my opinion, it's a line worth trying.I have a couple of other products from the line that I'm using so stay tuned for the reviews.

Check out Glamourouxx's review on the product too -- she includes interesting tidbits about the company too.

Any other dry skin sufferers out there? What works for you?
