When I was a kid, I had no idea what my parents did for a living – much less their friends. Imagine my surprise when I discovered my Tío Jaime owned a skin care line… and that the Dermisa body lotion I saw on my mom’s bathroom counter came from him! Well, this certainly explained how my Tía Mary always had the most beautiful, radiant skin I’d ever seen.
Of course I wanted in on lovely Tía Mary’s secrets, so my Tío Jaime quickly mailed me some of his favorite products. Lately I’ve been using the Glycerin Facial Bar in place of my Clinique Liquid Facial Soap, and following that up in the morning with the Skin Renewal SPF 30 under my make-up and at night with the Anti-wrinkle Cream. My husband and I have also been using the famous Dermisa body lotion, and love it. It’s a light, non-sticky formula made with Vitamins A and E, and absorbs super fast.
The facial moisturizers also feel great on my skin. I love that the SPF 30 doesn’t feel like a heavy sunblock, but still blocks UVA and UVB rays. Also? It feels so good to take proactive steps against wrinkles and dark spots. And I love, love, love the glycerin soap. Packed with aloe vera, it’s perfect for a gentle and thorough facial cleansing. It doesn’t dry out my skin like some bar soaps, and works up as much of a lather as the liquid soaps.
Dermisa products are high quality, many are made right here in the USA, and they retail for very reasonable prices. Depending on where you live, you may be able to pick these up at your local Target or Walgreens. Or you can always shop online – in English or in Spanish!
Quick Tip: Those of you recently pregnant may want to order the Stretch Mark Cream made with their proven formula of Cocoa Butter, Vitamin E, Collagen, and Elastin. It retails for only $4.99!
Dermisa has also recently developed a new, natural skincare line made without bleach or harmful ingredients. The Skin Brightening Kit – coming to stores soon – contains natural botanical extracts that minimizes the appearance of dark spots to reveal your flawless skin tone in 2-4 weeks. How cool is that?
