My Routine

Jessica asked last week what our skincare routines included. 
Here it is:

I have been using Retinol .5 for a year or so now and love the effects it has had on my dark spots.  They have lightened considerably but not as quickly as I would like!  When I went to the derm consult she recommended to stay on the current course I am on. I also use Kinerase but use different products than Shelly.

For eyes: Under Eye Rescue.  I have noticed a pretty big difference in my puffiness and dark circles.  Even though I always feel tired, I don't seem to always look it. 
Also side note: I read recently that when applying eye cream, place directly under the eye but when applying above the eye just put it on your bone directy above your eyelid and it will seep down naturally. The skin there is so sensitive, putting it on directly is too much for it.

For face: Brightening Serum and also the Cream. Along with the face wash as well. They have the Cream with an SPF which I will buy next as soon as this container is finished.

All the products contain N6-furfuryladenine which is a powerful natural antioxidant that helps protect DNA and proteins from oxidative damage caused by free radicals. It is still pretty new to products so the jury is still out on whether it works topically but I am definitely noticing a difference in my skin since I started using it a little over a month ago.

Two random applications that I don't consistently perform are:  In the winter, if my skin is feeling particularly dry or it is cold, I slather on Aquaphor before bed.  In the summer, if I feel like I have been in the sun too much, I slather on pure Vitamin E oil before going to bed.  Both applications leave my skin ridiculously soft when I wake up, but they are so heavy that I don't do this regularly. 

Next up...
My Vitalize Peel.  I am kind of nervous but every review I have read has been very positive.  I am just really nervous about layers of my face peeling off.  I am going to go ahead and hopefully book my appt for next week.  I want to have plenty of recovery time before Cassie's wedding!!  And my own...
