Spring Skin Care Routine

I know we're well into spring but I wanted to wait a lil' while to see the results of my new products before giving them my stamp of approval! I've been trying a new skin care routine for spring and I must say that I think I've found a winning combo. An at home peel, detoxifying gel cleanser and a popular face oil made from natural ingredients are what I've chosen to give my skin care routine a refresh for spring...

Hello my name is Brandi and I'm a recovering pimple picker! I'm getting better each day but, I still have some old acne scars. I took note of the products used during a recent spa visit, did some research and found out that they are available online and suitable for at home use... yay! According to Skin-Peel.com the MedPeel Salicylic 10% Peel is a light strength beta hydroxy acid peel used to clear clogged pores. This peel is appropriate for an oily, acneic skin for new/sensitive users and is safe." Since this is my first time using an at home skin peel kit I went with the light strength. The directions say that it may take about 6-8 peels before skin changes occur however, I have gotten great results after only four peels! I have oily/acne prone skin and I have seen a reduction in oil production, less breakouts (maybe one or two since I've started using this product) fewer blackheads and my acne scars have faded significantly! I can wait until I see the results from 6-8 peels.

Higher temps can mean more oil production and more breakouts from sweat and bacteria so I switched up my daily cleanser to a detoxifying formula. KATE SOMERVILLE Detox Daily Cleanser is formulated to fight acne-causing bacteria, and stabilize oil production.

I swapped out my normal Perricone MD Face Finishing Moisturizer for Farsali Rose Gold Elixir! You know that face oil that's been all over instagram and in all the beauty magazines?! The verdict...I love it! Farsali Rose Gold Elixir is light weight and has a lovely citrus fragrance and let's not forget about the luxurious 24K gold flakes. Made with Rosehip seed oil "that have been found to regenerate tissue and reduce the appearance of fine lines, hyperpigmentation, and stretch marks," according to the Farsali website. However, I love it because it not only lowers my skins oil production but has helped make my skin "glow." Again I have oily skin so don't be afraid to try this face oil if you do as well. It also blends flawlessly with my Bare-minerals foundation for that perfect "dewy skin" look after application.
