Skinn Cosmetics Collagenesis Daily Defense Review & Giveaway

 I'm excited to share this review with you. I don't like to wear make up often especially when I'm home all day and just have to run out to the store or bus stop to pick up my kids, I hate taking the time to do make up for just a quick trip out! So, My face is exposed to the sun a lot and even gloomy day's those UV rays are strong. My nose especially is highly attracted to the UVs and I usually come home with a red nose (yes, like Rudolph!) from being exposed to the sun - so awful in the summertime. The rest of my face gets the red glow too but not like my nose and most sunscreens trigger my migraines with their awful smell.

So when I was contacted to conduct a review for Skinn I was more than on board.

If you don't know what Skinn Cosmetics is you are missing out! Here is some info on this great company..

"When Skinn was launched in 2002 the questions most asked were “How are you going to do it? How are you going to give us more products, better products, and keep them at a comparable price?” The answer was really quite simple. We learned that the money at the highest levels of the big cosmetics houses is not spent on the product. In fact, it seems to go everywhere but the product: ad campaigns, department store counter space, Park Avenue offices, and, most of all, packaging. Believe it or not, most companies spend more money on the container and fancy boxes than on the product that’s inside. Here at Skinn we focus on what goes into the jar and how it will make you look, not how the jar looks.

Skinn Cosmetics incorporates the time-honored methods of mothers and grandmothers who made their own soaps, creams and masks at home using pure, natural ingredients. These classic traditions combined with the most advanced technology and delivery systems available differentiate Skinn from all other cosmetic brands. Skinn treatment and color cosmetics are famously full of actives, yet devoid of unnecessary water, fillers, or excess packaging. To ensure the highest quality possible, Skinn built its own production facility at the company’s Southern California headquarters. Today, Skinn is a top selling international brand on ShopHQ (USA), The Shopping Channel (Canada) and Television Shopping Network (Australia).

Skinn Cosmetics are available only through www.skinn.com, live televised home shopping, and exclusive, privately owned spas throughout North America. This careful distribution strategy has allowed us to reach the maximum amount of people, while keeping overhead very low. We don’t have expensive retail shops or New York office suites; you won’t see costly magazine or prime time TV ads. What we do have are some of the finest cosmetics ever made. You’ll see the difference!

Our company motto is “Bringing Beauty to the World”. We live this every day in what we do and how we make you look." -- skinn.com

Sounds great right?

I received Skinn's Collagenesis Daily Defense which is a scent free and has SPF 30. Broad Spectrum. Perfect for my face!

It doesn't look or feel like your regular ol' heavy sunscreen either, it's more like a moisturizer..

I've used it for a week now. Every morning after washing my face I apply a small amount on my face and not one day have I had that awful red nose. I haven't gotten any headaches or migraines from the smell either. It isn't strong, or sunscreen smelling. I am very impressed.

I have used Daily Defense on my whole face for the past week and I'm happy to report my skin is not only very smooth but I've had zero redness too!

Retailing for $35 - for a 50ML bottle, the Collagensis daily Defense is well worth the price. I now keep right beside my skin apply it every morning after washing my face no matter what the weather is like.
