As women, we are always searching for a product to leave our skin looking young and radiant. But only recently have we come to learn that less is more, especially in terms of what we’re putting on our faces. With an overabundance of chemical-laden products on the market, I choose to steer clear and opt instead for a more natural alternative.

Royal Creme by Winifred Wikkeling is a paraben-free hydrating balm made from a blend of such natural ingredients as shea butter, wheat protein, and honey and lavender flower extract. Rich yet absorbent, this miracle moisturizer leaves your skin feeling fresh, clean, and chemical-free. Beauty doesn’t come cheap ($95), but if it means eliminating all those other products you would otherwise buy for your skin regimen, you just might break even.
