Spring-Ready Skin with Moroccanoil Body's Latest Skincare Indulgence

 

It's May 28th and although it's rainy and quite cool today let's not forget it's Spring and I'm anticipating lots of sunshine and warmer shorts weather in the near future.

You may have already heard of Moroccanoil and it's amazing benefits for your locks but did you know they now have a new Moroccanoil Body Line with seriously decadent body products?
I am a big fan of their hair products and love what it does for my hair so I was really hoping that this body line would not disappoint.

I received their new Body Soufflé {MRSP: $52 CAN/190ml} and Body Buff {MRSP: $42 CAN / 180ml} to try out for myself and was instantly attracted to the presentation.
The containers they come in are simple yet screams indulgence. And there is a lot of product in each container! The great thing is that you do not have to use so much at every use.

I lit a few candles, got the bubble bath going, played some soothing jazz tunes and poured myself a glass of red wine. *Dream bubble pop*
I don't have much time on a typical day to pamper myself like that but that's why these products are so clever. You don't need that much time to feel like you did pamper yourself.


Made with natural orange peel exfoliator, the Body Buff is gentle enough for daily use to polish away dead skin cells and instantly transform your skin. The added benefits of argan oil blended with Vitamin E and nourishing avocado, grape seed, safflower, sesame and sweet almond oils, rejuvenate your skin with intense moisture.

Massage in a circular motion to either dry or damp skin until absorbed. Concentrate on areas prone to rough or dry patches. Then, buff and rinse off in the shower. 

At my most recent spa visit, I had a lovely salt scrub before my massage and my skin never felt better.
It wasn't until I used this product that I felt a similar feeling.

If you plan to use a body bronzer to add some colour to your skin this summer, a good body exfoliator is an absolute must. I highly recommend this product for that.

A whipped hybrid between a body milk and butter, the Moroccanoil Body Soufflé instantly drenches and penetrates skin with intense hydration leaving behind renewed softness, smoothness and resilience. The indulgent formula is rich with reparative argan oil, shea butter and aloe vera that help to stimulate skin’s cellular renewal, and work to improve skin’s natural barrier functions, health and vitality.
Suitable for all skin types, Body Soufflé is all that is needed to wrap skin in a daily, decadent moisture boost. Further stimulating the senses is the signature scent of Moroccanoil, a delightful aromatic blend of the hero ingredients.

To achieve optimum benefits and results, apply Body Soufflé daily after cleansing to lock in moisture and receive immediate skin replenishment.

I don't like strong scents on my skin. Not just because I am constantly around my little ones but also because I find it tends to irritate my nose. Body creams should not be too strong (that's why perfume is for!). They should aim at smoothing and quenching your skin first and if you prefer the scent, a nice subtle fragrance should do the trick.
This is what I loved about this cream. I smell the shea butter and argan oil yet it's not overwhelming, it's perfect!
It also settles very well into the skin. Not watery, not too thick, just the right texture.
It will definitely work well with all skin types.

Moroccanoil body products are available at luxury spas, fine salons nationwide and at Ben and Tournesol in Montreal.
Discover signature services and products through prestige spa partners, including Quartz Crystal Spa (Trump Hotel Toronto), The Spa at Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise, Spa Vida (Sheraton Wall Center Vancouver), Victoria Park Spa (Montreal) and The Spa at the Four Seasons Toronto.

Real Reviews, Real Women: The New Schick® Intuition® Pure Nourishment™ Razor

A few weeks ago, I got my skin spring ready by trying out the brand new Schick® Intuition® Pure Nourishment™ Razor which lathers, shaves and moisturizes during shaving—all in one easy step, with no need for shave gel, soap or body wash.
I was a fan the moment I smelled the coconut milk and almond oil and was completely sold after the first stroke against my skin.

You can read more about my thoughts on this innovative new Schick product here.

The new Schick Intuition Pure Nourishment razor and refills are now available at grocery, drug and mass retail outlets across Canada for approximately $11.99. 

I then gave 25 readers the opportunity to try out the razor for themselves and provide me with their honest feedback.
According to their reviews, the The New Schick® Intuition® Pure Nourishment™ Razor gets a thumbs up and is definitely a must-try!
Pros: All-in-one step, no shaving cream required, close-shave, no irritation, amazing scent.
Cons: Bulky, Conditioning solid tends to wear off quicker on the bottom than the top (can be a nuisance long-term), scent (some reviewers would prefer an unscented option).

So overall, the feedback was extremely positive and most of the reviewers had a pleasurable experience using their new Schick® Intuition® Pure Nourishment™ Razor.

This is what a few of them had to say:

"I just tried the Schick Intuition Pure Nourishment. I love it! I love the idea that I don't have to use cream or gel to shave with. My legs feel so soft and smooth.. not too bad for someone that hasn't shaved in over a month. Shaving went very well and quick no nicks! Thank you!"
~ B.B.

"I've gotten to use this razor twice now and love it! It feels so luxurious, like I'm spoiling myself. I get really dry skin in the winter and don't feel the need to moisturize after shaving with the Schick® Intuition® Pure Nourishment™ Razor. I like that it came with a holder to keep it out of my daughter's hands. While I love the moisturizing properties of coconut milk I wish it was unscented, it annoys me that everything has to have a scent."
~ S.I.

"Got my razor and have tried it out a few times now. First impressions is that the packaging is cute and its got a great scent. First time I used it, was a strange feeling because it didn't even feel like I was shaving. Use to feeling the razor running over my skin but could only feel the Conditioning Solid gliding over my skin. Had to double check that I didn't miss a spot, but the four blades didn't miss anything. Legs were smooth and felt great after my shave.

Second time using, same impression. Didn't feel like I was shaving. Did notice that the bottom of the Conditioning Solid is wearing out much quicker then the top, so I assume at some point I'll have some on top and not the bottom. Not sure there is a fix for that though. But I do like the way it's set up because I've used the Venus Pro Glide and the conditioning solid stuff on that razor fell off after one use. Don't feel like I need to worry about that in this case. Do think the Conditioning Solid might wear out before the razor is worn though but I guess that'unavoidable really. You do have to make sure if you're using this in the tub that you turn it over to drain the water out because the way the cartridge is designed, it will hold water.

Overall, Im impressed with the razor. No major downfall to it and it makes shaving quick and simple. Is a little bulky if you want to use it for armpits or bikini area. Don't think it could be a razor that would serve all my purposes, but for legs its great. I am curious to see how long the Conditioning Solid will last but only time will tell with that. However for the time being, really enjoying this razor.

Thanks again for the opportunity to try this razor!"
~A.R.

"I used the new Schick Intuition Pure Nourishment razor yesterday in the shower and I was very impressed!

It did not feel like I was shaving at all.  I usually hate shaving but because this razor was so soft and smooth and the pivoting head made it a lot easier, I actually enjoyed using it.  I think this cut my shaving time down by more than half!

The coconut milk and almond oil really does moisturize while shaving. There was no shaving gel required and I even skipped my body lotion afterwards!

I was very impressed and will definitely be using this razor as my regular razor and letting my friends know about it as well.
 
Good job Schick! I was leaning towards investing on laser hair removal but I’ll save $ using this razor and put that decision off for awhile!"
~ A.T.

"I was definitely intrigued by its innovative lather and shave system.
On a positive note, it had a delightful smell and useful hanger.
However, It did cause a razor burn on the first try and its shape caused it to occasionally miss hairs. Thank you for the opportunity to try it."
~ E.K.

"I received my razor early this morning and used it during my sons' nap because I was so excited to try out this product. For my review I wanted to look at how they advertised the product and argue or agree with their points. On the box it says "The only razor that moisturizers and lathers during shaving leaving skin noticeably soft" and I definitely do agree with this statement. I didn't have any discomfort or irritation while shaving or after shaving! My skin was extremely smooth and felt hydrated. It also states" no need for shave gel, soap or body wash" and again this is true. I shaved with just the razor and there were no issues at all. The last thing stated that I wanted to review was "the pivoting head follows your contour." I just want to say that I've had so many issues with shaving and cutting my knees. I can't seem to find a razor that doesn't cut my knee while bent or anything other than straight and anyone who shaves knows how much it stings when you cut your legs shaving. This razor did NOT cut me even once. It's so smooth while shaving your legs that it literally glides over my knees and leaves the rest of my legs feeling smooth. I absolutely love this razor and would recommend it to absolutely everyone!"
~ C.S.

"First off it smells amazing!  Being a busy mom I don't have hours upon hours to be in the shower so a razor that doesn't need shaving cream is pretty fantastic.  I also like the shower holder.  Keeping it off the edge of the tub with a cap on it preserves the razor and no rusting blades.
Thanks so much for the opportunity."
- A.W.

"I was presently surprised when I opened the box.  I could immediately smell the Coconut and Almond and I was happy to learn that no shaving gel was required when shaving because the lotion is already built into the razor. I always take showers, so when I shower and shave, most of the shaving gel runs off of my legs while under the shower, therefore, having the lotion built in was really great.
Having the lotion built in is a huge time saver,  and what makes it even better, is that I don't feel the need to moisturize when I am done.
It doesn't get any better than this when it comes to shaving.  I will definitely be purchasing the Schick Intuition Pure Nourishment Razor replacements when I am all out and I will definitely recommend this to my friends.
Thanks again for the opportunity!"
~ B.B.

"I have received and used the Schick® Intuition® Pure Nourishment™ Razor twice already!  I just love it!  I like the one-step, no fuss shaving experience.  I get a smooth, close-shave without any irritation.  And the delicious scent of coconut is a treat!  The only thing that I find a little less than positive is its size and shape - it's a little bulky.  Other than that, I would definitely buy this product and recommend it to people.  Any chance of this coming in a smaller, travel-size packaging?  
Thanks again for this wonderful opportunity." 
~E.G.

"I am totally in love with this razor. The scent is amazing and the almond oil helps leave my skin exceptionally soft. I love the large handle and the fact no other shaving cream is required! Thank you for the opportunity to try out such a fantastic product!"
~T.C.

"I used this for the first time this morning.
At first I was intimidated by the size of the handle as most other razors are pretty small in comparison, but the grip was fantastic and comfortable.  I shaved my legs and underarm and loved the minimal amount of "soap" it used. 
One stroke did the job! My skin now a few hours later feels slightly more moisturized then normal.
The only negative is when shaving legs you can’t tell where you have finished or not...making it easier to miss spots.  This is something usually solved with shaving cream which you don’t want to use with this!"
- M.J.

"I recently reviewed the Schick pure nourishment razor and can honestly say that I LOVED it.
I first noticed and loved that it came with an extra blade and  the nice light scent.
It was a nice smooth shave with no cuts.  After I shaved I noticed that my legs were not dry
and I did not have to apply lotion. Loved the razor and will be recommended it to friends."
~A.M.

Thank you all for your honest reviews; I as well as many women that will read this do appreciate it!

Along with the review, they also had the opportunity to win a $50 Visa Gift Card.

The Winner of the $50 Visa Gift Card via random draw is... Cassie Sharp!
Congratulations Cassie! Enjoy!

What Does a La Roche-Posay Itch-Free Day Look Like? {Contest}

As a mother, one of the worst things to see and hear is your child in pain or suffering.
You will try whatever you can do to help but when it's just not working, it can be frustrating.
We'd much rather take that pain away, wouldn't we?

This was the case for my daughter's recent eczema flare-up this winter.
It was horrible!

She's four years old and has always had very mild cases of eczema since she was 12 months old.
Never did she have this type of flare-up that she had recently (as seen in the picture above) that lasted 2-3 weeks. This photo taken was actually the beginning and milder stage of the flare-up.
At first I thought she had an allergic reaction to something but after getting her checked, it was confirmed that it was eczema.

I tried creams, prescription creams (although I did not want that on her for too long), and even home remedies offered from family and friends. I did see some sign of improvement but it was on and off.
One day it would look like it was getting better and all of a sudden the bumps and redness come back in full force.
She didn't complain or seem to be in any discomfort but seeing it was painful enough for me.

In a previous post, I wrote about this issue my daughter had with eczema and introduced La Roche-
Posay's 100 Families Program, a program to follow families with children suffering from eczema and to provide them with the education necessary to better manage their eczema, as well as free Lipikar products.
The Lipikar product line is designed for dry and eczema-prone skin and is especially adapted for children and infants.

Once again, La Roche-Posay Canada wants to put children at the heart of their Itch Free Day contest on their Facebook page.

They are asking children suffering from dry skin and eczema to draw what an itch free day looks like.
La Roche-Posay Facebook fans will vote for their favorite drawing and a jury will then select the winning drawing among the top 10. The artist will win a selection of La Roche-Posay products and will see his or her drawing on a limited edition Lipikar Baume AP container, released in October 2013.

This is not meant to be competitive with the voting, but more of a fun "itch-free" initiative for little ones that are suffering with eczema with a bonus of potentially winning a prize.

The contest ends March 31st so get your little ones drawing and participating in the fun!

Wishing you and yours more happy itch-free memories!

Happy 1 Year Anniversary GLOSSYBOX!

Attention Beauty Lovers!
We have yet another monthly beauty box subscription available to you, but this time we're getting a little more daintier, chic and high end.

So as you already know, I've done tons of Beauty Monthly Box Subscription reviews to date, all of which have not disappointed and offered a nice surprise for me. However, the GLOSSYBOX has raised the bar and perhaps stands as #1 of Beauty Boxes for me to date.
What I love (and can totally tell) about the GLOSSYBOX is that it was created by and for the chic and trendy woman.

Similar to the others, how it works is simple.
You join GLOSSYBOX online, choose your subscription plan and create your body profile.
Based on your profile, 5 carefully selected deluxe luxurious beauty samples are sent to you each month in a pretty keepsake box (more durable than it's competitors) and wrapped in pretty packaging.
I always hate opening the packaging when it's so pretty!

Usually the GLOSSYBOX is in a lovely pale pink keepsake box but this was a special box for their one year anniversary + Valentine's Day special Month.

Upon opening the ribbon, here was what came inside the Anniversary Box.

Right away I was pleased to see some Bioré Deep Cleansing Pore Strips in there because my nose was in total of need it! No matter how often I care for my skin daily and exfoliate 1-2x a week, sometimes you really need a deeper cleansing strip to remove all the dead skin and blackheads.

 

Another product that instantly screamed out to me was the Anatomicals Shower Gel. Catchy name, especially because it really did smell like a rose bouquet.

 

 I am a lip gloss fanatic so I was very happy to see a sample of Givenchy's Gloss Interdit in No.3 Coral Frenzy. What a pretty colour for Spring!

The Macadamia Natural Oil Healing Oil Treatment is a product I'm definitely looking forward to trying out. I just recently coloured my hair for Spring and the it's in some need of a little extra TLC.

 

It's too bad the Crabtree & Evelyn Tarocco Orange Eucalyptus & Sage Ultra-Moisturizing Hand Therapy was only a small sampling satchet. It smelled delightful! However, a little birdie told me to stay tuned for a full-size of this product in an upcoming box! 

 

I'm not usually one to try out eye shadow if I am unfamiliar with the brand name as I've had a bad experience in the past, but once I tried out the (full-size) Essence Quattro Eyeshadow that I received in my GLOSSYBOX, I was quite impressed! The staying power is great and I didn't need to apply more than 2 swipes of a colour on my lids for it to show. 

This is the Oh-So-Cute Quattro Eyeshadow collection with pretty shimmery shades of Pink, White, Blue and Dark Midnight Blue/Black.

This is how the colours looks on my skin after just one swipe. Pretty vibrant, huh?

Other products included in the box was a Eucerin Hyal-Urea Anti-Wrinkle Day/Night Cream Satchet Duo and a GLOSSYBOX Cupcake Kit. How adorable are they?!

 I'm predicting some delicious red velvet cupcakes in the near future.

For only $21 a month (+ free S&H) and other great perks and discounts if purchased in bulk installments, I truly think this is a fun and worthwhile subscription for the beauty-loving lady that enjoys the indulgence and all pretty things.

You can cancel anytime you want.  For more information, visit them online at: www.glossybox.ca.

Cupcake, anyone?

Springtime Farmers Market with Bath & Body Works Fresh-Picked Collection

Living so close to beautiful farmlands, what I always look forward to once Spring rears its lovely head are the Farmers Markets.
They hold them every Saturday and Sunday morning along the main street of the city where all the farmers gather with their goods and of course daily at their own farms.

The smell is what always gets me good. Fresh blooming Spring flowers and delicious berries of all kinds... what a tantalizing delight to my senses!

This month, Bath & Body Works is springing into action and offering that medley of goodness in their new Fresh Picked collection, which includes their scented candles and their hand and body care products.

I have a slight fetish for scented candles.
When I received a few of the new Fresh-Picked Scented Candles from Bath & Body Works, I was over-the-moon! I lit up the Lemon Mint Leaf and used it for my main bath and the scent literally felt like a drink of fresh lemonade with a hint of mint.

The strawberry was delectable but I have to say the Pineapple-Mango was my absolute favourite. AMAZING!
They burn for a while and the smell really fills your space unlike some candles where the scent would only gather closeby and then quickly die out after a while. The oils from the candle really hug your home and lingers without an overpowering nauseating smell.
That is so important to me having little ones in the home; I don't want to have a smell that will irritate them and these didn't at all.

Currently they have a fabulous special for their 3-wick candles for 2 for $22. That is a steal!
Each large candle is already $22.50. 
Go stock up on them. Definite must-haves in your home.

The collection includes:

• Garden Bouquet
• Pear
• Strawberry
• Market Peach
• Lemon Mint Leaf
• First Bloom
• Pineapple Mango
• Lilac Blossom

Their Anti-bacterial hand soaps was another favourite, specifically the Wildberries scent.
Unlike other anti-bac products, they leave a please and yummy scent on your hands. No hint of alcohol!
Each hand sanitizer retails for $5.50 each.

The collection includes:

• Fresh Picked Apple Blossoms
• Fresh Picked Apples
• Fresh Picked First Bloom
• Fresh Picked Garden Herbs
• Fresh Picked Garden Mint
• Fresh Picked Pears
• Fresh Picked Strawberries
• Fresh Picked Tangerines
• Fresh Picked Wildberries

It's a British Beauty Invasion with Soap & Glory

The Brits have arrived and they've brought some amazing face and body products along with them.

You know when you walk into a store looking for a specific product and then there's this super-awesome item that just catches your eye on the shelf courtesy of brilliant packaging?
Say hello to Soap & Glory and get your skin spring & summer ready!

I have always seen Soap & Glory products during my trips to Shoppers Drug Mart but because I'm pretty much loyal to a few of my body and beauty products, I've never given them a whirl.

Have you seen them before? They are hard to miss.
From pretty dark pink shades with vivid fonts, catchy titles like 'Sexy Mother Pucker' or 'Clean On Me' and images of Vintage Pin-ups, you'd pretty much be sold from the exterior alone.

I was ecstatic to be sent over a few Soap & Glory Favourites to try for myself!
I can honestly tell you now, I have found a few new favourites. This explains why I've been seeing this brand pop up in multiple Magazines.

Marcia Kilgore is the Saskatchewan-born, Alberta-raised entrepeneur behind Soap & Glory. Gotta love our Canuck-born masterminds. A mother of two married to a European and living in London, she finally focused on bringing her brand back home to Canada.
Now proud purveyor of an absolutely fabulous full range of beauty, body and bath-stuffs, Soap & Glory recommends putting your products on with happiness and abandon, because they believe while beauty absolutely matters, it doesn’t matter absolutely.


Best-selling and award-winning, The Righteous Butter Body Butter™ has already become my new indulgence.

 
Infused with softening shea butter and aloe vera and scented with their Original Pink™ fragrance.
Their fragrance is a fruity floral of Rose and Bergamot -- it's not overpowering at all which is good and the smell sticks to your skin so well even after hours.
What I also love about it is that even though it is a body butter, it's not sticky like many tend to get.
It goes on smoothly and it feels fresh, not too thick and not too thin (or watery) like regular lotion.
This retails for $18.00 CDN, 300 ml.

The Hand Food hand cream never leaves my desk!
I also purchased another to keep in my bag on the go.

It's a non-greasy, hydrating hand cream to help relieve dry, chapped hands and also leaves that fresh Original Pink scent. It's made with shea butter, macadamia oil and marshmallow. Yes, marshmallow! Just lovely. And it sounds good enough to eat. But you don't want to do that.
It retails for $10, 125 ml.

Another favourite for the bath would have to be Flake Away™ Peach Seed Powder and Sugar Body Polish. With sugar & sea salt to scrub away dead cells, peach seed powder for gently polishing and grape seed oil and shea butter for nourishing and moisturizing.
I loved the feeling of my skin after I used this. Followed by the Righteous Body Butter and wow your skin is totally spring/summer ready!
Retail price is $18.00, 300 ml.

And ladies, you do not want to miss out on their lip-pumping, super-colour gloss, Sexy Mother Pucker.

With Superfill™ lip plumping spheres and LIPSWELL™ microcirculation boosting technology, this gloss is sure to pretty that pout.
I tried it on over my lip stick and after a couple of seconds felt the tingly, cool sensation. It lasted about 10 seconds than slowly faded away.
I already have naturally full lips (thank you genetics), but I did see the difference (and definitely felt it!).
I have had a few other friends of mine rave about Sexy Mother Pucker being a favourite of theirs.
They have 4 different colours: Clear, Candy Gloss (this is the one I used), Half Naked and Yummy Plum (I like this colour!)
Retails for $15.00 CDN, 7ml.

I can go on about all the products I received; I was thoroughly impressed!
Although it was an impressive line-up, I will have to say, aside from the Hand Food, I found the price a little more than I would like. Knock off a couple of dollars on each item and I'm totally sold.
But I will say that they do not skimp out on the amount and size of their product -- you get a lot and you don't need a lot which I guess is a contributing factor to the price.
Try it for yourself next time! You may find a few new favourites too!

Currently, you can only find and purchase the Soap & Glory products at Shoppers Drug Mart and Pharmaprix stores. Looking forward to seeing them expand!
You can learn more about Soap & Glory online at: www.soapandglory.com/ca.

I'm giving my readers the opportunity to win a Soap & Glory Prize Pack which include:
The Righteous Butter Body Butter™, Sexy Mother Pucker XL extreme plump collagen lip shine and a Hand Food Hand Cream {ARV $50}.

Enter via rafflecopter below. Good luck!

*This contest is only open to Canadian residents.
Ends 2/25.

Mommy, I'm So Itchy! La Roche-Posay 100 Families Children Eczema Sponsorship Program

For those of you that have or have children that have suffered from eczema, then you know how arduous it is just to find that perfect skin product that will help manage the symptoms of this skin disorder.

Many families have battled through this, mine included.  Before having a child with mild eczema, I was uneducated about it and really only thought that it was nothing, but dry skin or rashes that would flare up on the body from an allergen of some sort.  Little did I know there was much more to this skin disorder and the effects can be extremely onerous -- to the person suffering from it and to the wallet.

We didn't know our daughter had mild eczema until she was about 4 months old.  In the beginning, the doctors would just tell us that all babies have extremely sensitive skin so rashes were very normal.

We noticed she would break out on different parts of her body and had this one particularly annoying red rash on her lower right cheek that just wouldn't go away.  We blamed different reasons for it -- detergents, body washes, people touching her, food/formula, anything and everything.

We spent countless hours and so much money switching her body washes and skin products including prescriptions from her family doctor trying to help rid her of the rashes she would get on her body and face.  It was really tough seeing them on her, although they didn't seem to bother her too much (*phew*).  As parents, you don't want to see anything out of the norm on your child -- you automatically assume it's hurting them in some way.  Thank goodness with our little girl, her case was mild and not severe. 

As she got older, we learned how to control flare-ups and have found the proper skin regimen that works for her.

This is not the case for other children/families suffering from this skin disorder.  It can be very uncomfortable.

There is no cure for eczema, which is why proper treatments and education is required to control the symptoms of eczema.

I'm so pleased to have learned about La-Roche Posay's 100 Family Program, a Children Eczema Sponsorship Program to help improve the quality of life of Canadian children and their families.

La Roche-Posay will be adding 16 new families to the program. Each selected family will receive the following:

• Continuous eczema support
• Information and education to help families better manage their eczema and improve their quality of life
• A supply of Lipikar Baume AP and Lipikar Syndet at no cost for December, January and February 

Families will be featured on the La Roche-Posay's Facebook page as they share their progress and achievements over the course of the program. The interaction of the families on the Facebook page will help develop a supportive network of families to share information and provide support and advice to those suffering from eczema.

To become a family, La Roche-Posay Canada Facebook  fans can submit their story to larocheposay@highroad.com between Nov. 1st - Nov. 18th and tell them in 500 words or less:

1) Your name
2) Your phone number
3) Name & age of child with eczema
4) About your child’s condition
5) What joining the program means to you
6) What becoming a La Roche-Posay ambassador means to you 

There will be a pre-selected jury of 3 people to review and approve each family submission. The contest will be featured on the http://www.facebook.com/LaRochePosayCanada wall via status updates and images. 

As part of the program, selected families will be able to submit photos and updates on their progress as they use the Lipikar products on their children. Eligible families must have a child currently under the age of 18 suffering from eczema and must be a resident of Canada.

This is such a wonderful program and I'm glad that I am able to spread the word on this having had first-hand experience of the effects eczema had on my child.

If your child is suffering from eczema, why not submit your story? You and your family may just be selected to participate in this wonderful program with La Roche-Posay.

In the meantime, you can also visit their 100 Families Tab on the Facebook Page to follow the stories of the families already in the program to connect with them and experience the journey. You can also watch videos of dermatologists answering questions on eczema. 

I hope you are able to find the solutions that work for you and finally the relief for your little one battling eczema.  Let's work together to better educate one another on this very common skin disorder.

**Disclaimer: I am participating in the La Roche-Posay 100 Families Brand Ambassador Program with PTPA and received compensation; however the opinions expressed are my very own.
