My favorite Clinique products and why..

Today is the first day of February 2016, how exciting!  I am too ready for Spring and flowers, the sun, warmth, Easter, plants, lower electric bills (lol) and lighter clothing!  Today I really just wanted to blog out some of my favorite products that I work with everyday and use on myself, break them down and show you just WHY I love them!!  This is not a sales pitch at all, but in the event that you would like to try the products I am discussing today you can have them sent straight to your doorstep through me. Just private message me or comment below! 

My very first FAVORITE product is Cliniques 7 day scrub...

Cliniques 7 day scrub is a creamy formula with small granules and is to be used daily to lightly exfoliate dead skin cells and daily dirt, oil and impurities. The reason I LOVE this product is because it is so light but yet SO EFFECTIVE!  My skin always feels so clean, fresh and ready for each day after I use this product!! 

Ok, my second fave is Clinques Moisture Surge Line...

But the most out of the line 

This mask has saved my life lol!! It is a rich, silky, hydrating mask that you smother on before bed and sleep in.  Cliniques Moisture Surge Mask leaves my skin so hydrated, plump, quenched, radiant and soft!  This mask has worked miracles during this winter skin depression!

Third favorite and last for today's post is Cliniques Clarifying Lotion #3...

You will honestly never believe how much dirt, oil and impurities enter your skin each and every day!  After removing your makeup, washing your face, you still have it and this step in my daily routine has also changed my life!  It removes DEEP dirt, oil and impurities that your face wash can't reach and it shows up on your cotton ball or pad.  All I can say about this one is TRY IT and you'll never look back.  I also use #1 when I do my chemical peels because it is for very dry skin.  Number 3 is for Oily Combination. 

{ Clinique has 4 different numbered Clarifying Lotions depending on your skin type so all may not be #3 but regardless of what number you are this will also save your skins life. }

So last product that I want to share is not Clinique but it is BOMB and has changed my life as well lol!  ShiSeido Facial Cotton...

Oh my goodness, these facial cotton pads are 100% cotton and after using them you will be amazed.  I love this product because they are SO SOFT & gentle on your skin.  Absolute luxury. 

Lots of love and Happy FEBRUARY!!!! 

Organic face

I've never been one for crazy organic everything but when it comes to my skin I am very careful about what goes on it.  The other day I was in Whole Foods before going into work because I wanted to pick up some Alkaline water and also an all natural energy drink !!  In Green Hills TN where I work there is an adorable little outdoor shopping area and it's all brick lined and full of cute little shops and that is where Whole Foods is located! Well, as I was coming out of the store I noticed a WHOLE BODY right across the street and I had some time and so I went in only to find myself IN LOVE!!!!  They have all organic and natural everything for your body, shampoo, conditioner, face products, makeup, deodorant, scrubs, vitamins, lip conditioners ETC> You name it, they had it!  I was of course drawn to the skin stuff and because I've been doing intensive treatments to my facial skin for the past 4 weeks I wanted something with a Vitamin C and other natural ingredients to really boost my healing process and that would also be extra gentle, something lightweight and small because I didn't want to spend too much, I've been sticking to a budget! (lol)

 l picked up this face cream and I cannot tell you how amazing they are.  They smell so delicious and my skin feels much more radiant, silky and hydrated.

Pricing is extremely reasonable ...you can look them up online if you're interested at ANDALOU.COM !! 

I just wanted to share because keeping a good thing to yourself is very selfish! Haha

TGIF 

H2O

     This morning I am starting to feel so much better from my detox, I've done a series of 4 chemical peels using salicylic acid 20% and Lactic Acid 40% over the course of 2 1/2 weeks which is the intensive start and I will continue every 3-4 weeks until my results are where I want them! 

     I am a COMPLETE do-it-yourself-er and I have payed close attention to my in office peels along with little knowledge in cosmetology school and I choose to purchase the product and do them at home, that will NOT work for everyone ! 

    Above is a photo of the brands I have used and I love both.  So when you are doing skin detox and chemical peels ETC you have GOT to drink LOTS AND LOTS of H20!!!  Even the most beautiful of skin would be great to do a light chemical peel every few months because usually the top layer of everyone's face is DEAD SKIN CELLS!  There is a type of natural glue like substance that holds those dead skin cells to your epidermis and the chemical peels work to loosen the glue like substance allowing the dead skin to shed off, revealing baby smooth skin! 

    The main focus is to assure you that if you are not drinking enough water every day I can ASSURE you that your skin is dehydrated and you will begin to see pre-mature signs of aging, wrinkles, flakes and an over all "dead" look.  I just wanted to encourage you guys to really take care of yourself and the skin you live in.  DRINK UP !!! And HAPPY 2016!

{Post note: Do NOT do chemical peels at home if you have no training on how they are performed. }
