Your good Skin.
This is now MY good skin.
YAAAAAAS! . Hallelujah for this Skin range.
So I am into the second week of my 28 day Skin Care Challenge, and I am so happy with the results so far. Skin feels so smooth its unreal.
I woke up Sunday 8th October ( Day 11), I was off work, which was a rare Sunday off in a long time so me and the husband had a bit of a lie in. When I eventually got out of Bed. Went into the Bathroom, Looked up at the mirror, and my skin looked the best it has ever done in the morning. To put it into context a little more. I was on a late shift at work the night before, I was meant to finish at 2am, but was 30mins late, so i got home about 3am. Surprisingly, to myself more than anyone else, I still cleansed my face - and not just a facial wipe!!. Anyway, as you can imagine after a 12.5 hour shift, my cleanse wasn't as thorough as I would like or it should be! So you can understand my surprise at how good my skin looked.
I am in no doubt, that my skin was just representing the work of this skin care range over the last 10 days. That being said there was still 18 days left of my skin care challenge. How much better could it get?
My dry patches were near enough non existent. I still had one stubborn patch above my left eye, but that was it.
One of the tests for dry skin is how the skin reacts post water. My face after being washed with water and dried, would feel as dry as a desert. I would have that feeling of a face mask that has dried and ready to be washed off. As the dry patch gave slowly disappeared so has this thirst quenching feeling. My skin is feeling more and more hydrated.
Talking Cleansing. The Facial Brush is out. If you read my last skin care challenge post you would have seen that the brush was feeling more and more harsh on my skin, and was constantly wet. To cut a long story short, I left it for two days after a week of use, and It still didn't dry well and it was still very harsh on my skin.
Side note: I would like a cleansing brush in the future and I have been eyeing up the No7 Beautiful Skin Cleansing Brush does anyone use this? or Any other cleansing brush? Any recommendations? Please leave a comment and let me know.
Glow. Glow. Glow
The Balancing Skin concentrate promised to target radiance, and let me tell you. My skin is glowing. Radiance on point.
Yaaaaas! I have got my natural highlighter back!
This is Day 14. Half way through this Skin Care Challenge. I was promised: 'Visibly healthier skin in just 28 days" and 14 days in I can see the changes. Photos don't do it justice. I would let you come and touch my face to prove it.. but that might be a bit weird. My skin texture has gone from dry and thirsty, to hydrated and silky. There is a natural glow. Throws away expensive highlighters!
Oiliness was another target for the Balancing Skin concentrate and this skin care range. Honestly. I am not sure yet whether this product has worked for me in terms of oiliness. I have always got and still get Oiliness on My T-Zone. I have to say the Oiliness has decreased, especially on the No Make-up days, I am visibly noticing less oiliness. I was hopeful that the improvement of my skin overall will help control my oily T-zone, but we will see. Still Over a week to go. I may need something else to help with this. I am eager to try the Anti-shine base lotion, and the immediate shine relief from this range. I have tried so many things for T-zone oiliness/shininess. Anyone tried these? Any other recommendations?
Talking Make-up. Make up goes on and stays on so much better this last week. I am not sure wether it is just my better skin or the balancing Skin Concentrate but something is working like an expensive primer and I am loving it.! Throws away expensive primers! To be fair, I believe the application of make-up is better due to the silkiness and smoothness of my skin and that is definitely due to the Balancing Skin Concentrate. Any one else experience this?
I don't now what it is in this product, but boots you need to bottle it and call it a primer.
Pore Minimizing Tonic Update: Its still pretty much full. I don't know what it is with toners, but I always forget to use it. I can't really review this product, as stated before I only brought it because I thought I had to. I don't think I will use it to be fair over the last week, so with that, We will leave that product at that. I don't think it would be fair for me to pass judgment on a product I basically have not used.
Maybe it would have had an impact on my skin care... who knows?
Irritated eyes update: My dry eyes have got so much better thanks to opticrom eye drops. That stuff is such a lifesaver for me. Due to the intense irritation I can get, I am still avoiding a large area around my eyes with the balancing skin concentrate and the day cream. Surprisingly the night cream, If i forget because I am tired and get too close is absolutely fine. I think the irritation is more down to my dry eye, than ingredients in the products, because as mentioned before I can have sensitive skin and these products have been absolutely fine. However, as I said I am still being cautious, due to just being scared.
Products update:
The night cream is getting low on product, but have more day cream left... No surprise there ey!? (I will not rant about sizes in another post. I promise!) Your girl has been loving the balancing skin concentrate so much that her 'two pumps' as instructed have maybe been two BIG pumps these last two weeks, so I could run out... there is a day gauge on the side which you can see product, and I seem to be on track... so we shall see... !
3 weeks is such a little time in reality, but in terms of my skin so much change has happened. 7 days left to see what this skin care range can do...
Stay tuned for the last week and my final thoughts.
