POND’S® Luminous Line
Every now and then, we want to break free from the drudgery of daily life and feel radiant and luminous. I feel most luminous when I take a break from life's daily mundane tasks, and get a nice long foot reflexology massage, or a nice pedicure at the salon for my "me time".
POND’S® wants to make every woman feel luminous with its new line. I am so excited to share with you the POND’S® Luminous Line. It's a new skincare line from POND’S® that is all about luminous, glowing skin. This line includes the POND’S® Luminous Clean Cream Cleanser, the POND’S® Luminous Exfoliating Cleanser, the POND’S® Luminous Moisture Day Lotion with SPF15, and the POND’S® Luminous Clean Wet Cleansing Towelettes.
ABOUT THE POND’S® LUMINOUS LINE
POND’S® Luminous Line keeps skin looking bright and luminous all day. The line includes a Wet Cleansing Towelette, moisturizer and collection of cleansers that brighten dull skin. The Towelettes are enriched with moisturizing ingredients and soft white Kaolin clay known to act like a magnet, to gently draw out dirt, makeup and deep-dwelling impurities leaving skin bright and luminous.
The latest addition to the POND’S® Luminous Line, POND’S® Luminous Moisture™ Day Lotion with SPF 15 is enriched with illuminating minerals. The weightless SPF 15 formula contains UVA and UVB sun protection against skin-damaging rays. The complete Luminous Line is available at mass retailers, select drugstores and supermarkets nationwide for a suggested retail price of $4.99 - $5.79.
Here are the four products from this line and my thoughts on these.
POND’S® Luminous Clean Daily Exfoliating Cleanser
Many of us know that just cleaning the face is not enough. It is important to slough off dead skin cells to reveal glowing, fresh-looking skin. I usually exfoliate twice a week, but having a cleanser with exfoliating beads is a good multi-tasker. The POND’S® Luminous Exfoliating Cleanser has a creamy texture to gently clean the skin, but it also has small exfoliating beads to take gently slough away dead skin cells. I always exfoliate my face, body and even my lips to even skintone and to reveal radiant skin.
Pond's Cream Cleanser
The POND’S® Luminous Clean Cream Cleanser is just like the Exfoliating Cleanser in terms of consistency and texture, sans the exfoliating beads. These two cleansers have a subtle floral scent. I like how creamy this product is; it cleans without stripping the skin of its natural oils, as the skin doesn't feel to tight and dry after washing with this product.
POND’S® Luminous Moisture Day Lotion with SPF15
I like the POND’S® Luminous Moisture Day Cream because I am a forever fan of day creams with sunscreen. I will never wear day creams without sun protection as I want a multi-tasking product that will moisturize my skin and protect it from the sun's harmful rays. This glides well on the skin without being greasy. This new moisturizer is enriched with illuminating minerals.
POND’S® Luminous Clean Wet Cleansing Towelettes
I NEVER go to bed without washing my face no matter how tired I am. I always use cleansing towelettes to take off the grime and makeup from my face before I wash my face. Towelettes keep my face especially clean, so much so that just washing my face is just not enough. The POND’S® Luminous Clean Wet Cleansing Towelettes is also one of my favorites from this line. I love the quilted look of the towelette, and it's great for taking off stubborn makeup, especially eye liner and mascara.
