How To Create Perfect Prom Memories (10 years later...)

Remember back in high school when you were skinny, glamorous and carefree.  Around this time senior year, you were checked out with senioritis, planning for graduation and picking out your accessories for PROM.  You could never look too good, and never knew where the night would take you.  (Little did I know my prom date would become my husband!)

While our metabolisms have slowed down, and a night on the town takes us all weekend to recover, we have some perfect prom products to inspire better beauty habits and glowing skin.

X OUT
Prom is an important day and, with constant picture taking and expectant slow dancing, no one dreams of sporting acne to theirs. Introducing X Out™: a quick, hassle-free way to clear skin. Formulated with 8.5% benzoyl peroxide, X Out™ is a one-step Wash-In Treatment that washes powerful breakout fighting medicine into pores to help kill the bacteria that causes pimples. Smooth beads exfoliate dead skin cells and a unique moisturizing complex protects and soothes skin. X Out™ formula is paraben and sulfate-free, non-comedogenic and dermatologist tested, so it’s suitable for all skin types.
