My skin care story hasn't always been that smooth. Pun *intended* I had really clear skin up until my early 20's. When I hit my middle 20's it got a little rocky. I didn't have extreme breakouts like some people I know but it was enough to make me feel self conscious. In 2016, was probably my best year skin care wise. Here are the four main factors which I think changed everything.
I was introduced to two brands: Cerave and OleHenriksen. This really gave me the opportunity to toggle between gentle and more "aggressive" skin care. Cleansers: Anything foaming was my favourite. CeraVe foaming facial cleanser ($14.97 CAN) was super gentle but effective. Also fragrance free!

I think using a toner has changed my life for the better. Ole Henriksen Fountain of Truth Facial Water ($28.00 CAN) is the truth! A toner is used to replenish nutrients/minerals back into the skin after removing makeup and cleansing. Back in the day, I use to apply it to a cotton ball and apply it. Now- two mists and I'm ready to GO! Let it soak in. Then apply serum/ moisturizer.

Aggressively treat
As a blogger, I've had the opportunity to get some amazing facials. One of my best facials was from surprise....surprise OleHenriksen. You guys know as a wife and business owner I don't have the time to always step out and visit a spa but the Power Bright™ 3-Step Professional Brightening System ($66.00 CAN) This amazing! So easy but effective.

NEXT STEPS???
I think my next steps will be spot lightening but I need to do more research to see what will work for me without bleaching my skin. Do you have a spot lightening treatment that is your fave?

The melting cleanser I gave my cousin as a gift and she loves it so I really want to try it now for myself :) So far for brighten I really like the fresh brighten moisturizer maybe in their line they might have something for you
ReplyDeleteIt's sooo good
DeleteI looooove ole henriksen products! Their cleansing gelee is one of my fav products that I've tried. I like the idea of a misting toner. This calls to lazy soul like good food 😂. I wanna check out the cerave cleanser. I want a good, gentle, drugstore alternative. Such a good post!
ReplyDeleteYou're so sweet!
ReplyDeleteThank you.
I've been looking at Ole Henriksen products for a minute, but haven't taken the plunge to purchase any yet. Now you have me curious about the Power Bright brightening system. Did you see immediate results?
ReplyDeleteGreat tips! I find the easiest and quickest way to get my skin in shape is to stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water and moisturized by using a quality moisturizer.
ReplyDeleteI saw some of these in my local TJ Maxx for a discounted price. But had never heard or read any reviews. I might give them a try now.
