Im touching back to a blog from sometime ago. I am still new at trying to make sure I set this up nice and that I have good enough pictures for you guys...but Im not the photoshop whiz, my boyfriend is, and he's been super busy lately!
The best way to make your work shine on the face is with great skin, and that starts with a good and healthy skincare regime.
I know that sometimes it sounds like a hassle to do, and you know what? Sometimes, it is. Step one, do this, step two, do that, step three do this...and on and on and on.
The same way you are with trying to find the right shocking pink eyeshadow for that one look you saw someone do, go and find yourself a good skincare line. Things have advanced so much, and right now, we are blessed with a plethora of choices!
High end, low end, mix and match, there is something out there for you.
The first line I have for you guys is Bare Minerals Rare Minerals 30 day starter kit.
This kit contained two products:
This is the Facial Cleanser. It is a mineral based, water-activated powder that deep cleans, exfoliates and nourishes. Since it comes in powder form, and you need water to activate the cleanser, you get the freshest product every time!Now, out of the duo of products, I actually like this cleanser alot. I find that my skin is absolutely clear after using it, and because it exoliates, it is very very smooth. I love when a cleanser gives you truly clean skin and this is it!
So, naturally, there need to be a few cons...
The opening of the product consists of a slide mechanism with a hole in the top through which products comes out. I would love if the hole were a bit bigger so you could get more product in a shorter amount of time. It can get a little messy as well. This cleanser, because it is all natural, does not have the most pleasant smell, and let's face it, having a nice scent is important.
Bottom line, as a cleanser, it works. Want clear, smooth skin, get this cleanser!
On the second product in the pack:
This is the Skin Renewal Nighttime Treatment. This is only to be worn at night since some of the minerals might make the skin susceptible to sun. It is a powder treatment that comes in a canister/puff combo. It comes in a range of four colors:Clear, Light, Medium, Tan. Skin Renewal does it all from taking out redness, to minimizing pore size, to retexturizing the surface of the skin. Oh, and its a heaven sent for those with acne.
Why I didnt like this product, and please, if through reading this, you may think that I am using it wrong, please let me know, your imput is valuable. I would cleanse my skin and pat dry. Then afterwards, I would put this powder on my skin. I did notice after two weeks that my skin seemed lighter, sunnier, but I also had tons of dry spots and an uneven texture to my skin. Now, if memory serves, I dont remember the insert saying anything about pre-moisturizing before using the treatment. This could be the reason why I had been feeling so dry after using the product. Now I moisturize lightly before I use, and I am actually liking the product.
This would be good for someone who may be looking for a different skincare. It is definitely a modern way of looking at skincare!
