Soap & Glory is branching into skin care! Although the packaging may look whimsical, don’t be fooled. Marcia Kilgore (creator of both Bliss and Soap & Glory) definitely knows her stuff and has packed each product with top notch ingredients, all at an affordable price. I recently tested out products from the line and below are some of my top picks. (And, just in case you’re a nerd like me and like to know all of the ingredients, I’ve included some of the key ones for you as well.)
All products just hit shelves this month at Target so be sure to check ’em out!

Ferocia
Catch A Wrinkle In Time Age Avoiding Day Moisturiser ($15.99)
It’s lightweight, smells great and contains a natural sun filter that protects the skin from UV Radiation and Environmental damage. Although I was kind of bummed that it doesn’t contain an actual SPF, I still think it’s great; but for those that are looking for a facial moisturizer that has UVA/UVB protection, this may not be for you.
Key Ingredients
Palmitoyle Tripeptide-5: stimulates collagen and smoothes fine lines and wrinkles
Special Moisture Matrix: traps moisture into the epidermis for 8-12 hours at a time
Titanium Dioxide: natural sun filter that protects skin from UV Radiation and environmental damage
Sweet Orange Peel Essential Oil: provides the great scent!
Make Yourself Youthful Super Rejuvenating Face Serum ($19.99)
This light and yummy smelling serum is great to apply before your daily moisturizer. It left my skin looking a bit dewy, but after a couple of weeks I noticed that it felt even smoother and even had a bit of a healthy glow. You can use every morning and night after cleansing skin; this can even be used on your neck, chest and hands as well!
Key Ingredients
Exclusive Youthful Complex: a mix of palmitoyl tetrapeptide as a collagen stimulating and fine line eliminator with deliner
Moisture Trapping Matrix: protects and hydrates
Stimulating Ginseng
Shea Butter: softens and smoothes
Sweet Orange Peel Essential Oil: provides the great scent!
The Fab Pore 15 Minute Facial Peel ($12.99)
Powered by Soap & Glory’s PORESHRINK-R Complex, this product is ideal for greasy, spot prone or problem skin. I use this in the shower at least once a week. Just rub a grape size amount into the skin and massage until all the green beads have dissolved. At the end of my shower, I just rinse off and it leaves my skin feeling tingly and refreshed. (You can also leave on for about 5 minutes for a quick refresher or as a spot treatment for areas of your skin that may be breaking out.)
Key Ingredients
Fomes Officinalis Extract: a mushroom extract to tighten pores
Salicyclic Acid: loosens up the dead cells that contribute to pore clogging
Kaolin: clay that sops up extra oil on your skin and smoothes your skin’s surface
Vitamins E & C: antioxidants
Hmm.. They all sound like GREAT products.. I don't like anything on my face really… BUT these sound great and MAYBE I will change my mind now :-D
