OPI nail colours last a long time, don’t contain harmful chemicals like dibutyl phthalate or toluene, and come with a wide salon-quality brush for ease of application.

Although much more expensive, Chanel does make a great nail polish formula that lasts a long time. This colour is particularly hard to find and is a limited edition.

Dior Vernis Long-Wearing Nail Lacquer in Poison Blue
A fantastic shade of blue at a reasonable price from one of my favourite fashion houses!

UPDATE – 4/8/08: I just received an email today that Dior Poison Blue has been discontinued! Get your hands on some now while you can

1.

This super-emollient cream contains both Glycolic Acid for exfoliation and Urea, a dermatologist recommended moisturizer. I loved how easy it went on, and while I could feel it super-hydrating my skin, it didn’t feel overly heavy or greasy. A little expensive at $36, but if you can spend it, it’s definitely worth it.

2.
This scrub is a MUST if you are going to treat your KP properly. It acts as both a chemical peel and a microdermabrasion treatment. Use this before the cream above for unbelievable results! It can also be used on in-grown hairs and prior to using sunless tanning cream.

3. This is a more budget-friendly option for treating KP. It is 12% lactic acid, an alpha-hydroxy acid, neutralized with ammonium hydroxide to make it a more skin-friendly pH. Applied to the skin twice a day, this is a very effective moisturizer.

The exfoliation process is critical to treating KP, but you do not want to over-exfoliate, or you may end up making it worse. Gently scrub the areas with a body brush or a loofa, but do not use pumice or any other sloughing tools, usually meant for pedicures. I have even had success with using an alpha hydroxy facial cleanser on my arms prior to applying a treatment cream.

Have any other questions about KP? Leave them for me!

1.

This lightweight serum is made with an active copper complex, and goes on underneath your moisturizer to lift the skin. After using for a month now, I can already see results, especially in my nice tight forehead. I make sure to use it across my cheekbones and along my jawline as well. The product itself is a purple colored gel, sinks right into your skin with a slightly silky feel, and doesn’t leave your skin greasy afterwards. Best of all, it doesn’t pill up or react badly with my moisturizers, both the Hope In A Jar and AmLactin I use on my face.

2.

This microdermabrasion product is amazing! You have little pre-dosed pads that you attach to the appliance, turn it on and let the vibrations massage the crystals across your skin. It exfoliates and reveals new skin as effectively as a microdermabrasion treatment, and it feels WONDERFUL! Your skin is so soft and smooth afterwards. People with sensitive skin might only want to use this once a week, but you could do it 2-3 times a week if you wanted.

3.

This is my daily cleanswer. It’s so gentle that someone like me can use it every day, sometimes twice a day, but powerful enough to fight acne and keep my skin clear all the time. Has not dried out my face once like some other cleansers do. The best cleanser/scrub I have used in a long time!

4.

I use this product on my upper chest, shoulders and back. I don’t break out much in these areas, but every once in a while, I will get a few breakouts here and there. This product helps control the breakouts, especially in the summer when I’m outside running around, working up a sweat. Doesn’t dry out my skin, but I’m careful not to use it on my more rough, dry spots.
