These products are available January 2013, so keep your eyes peeled :) And I'll be posting reviews for a couple of the products soon....
I get really nervous about changing my skincare routine. I've had acne my entire life and remember the hope I felt when I was about to try a new product... and then the extreme disappointment after yet another product didn't improve my skin at all. It seems like I've tried hundreds of acne products (drugstore, department store, prescription--I've probably tried it) but only one thing eliminated my acne (Accutane) and that was only for about a year. Since then, my acne has returned, although it hasn't been as bad. So I've started the whole trial and error process of trying acne products all over again. It's generally a pretty crappy time. Except when you're given some products that actually WORK--like Coral Actives' line of acne products! Although I was initially hesitant to try out a brand of skincare that I hadn't heard of before, I'm now a huge fan. We looked to the renewable resources of the ocean to help us renew your skin...Sea Whip Coral is a soft coral found in the Caribbean. It provides a very potent NATURAL anti-inflammatory extract that is safe, effective and environmentally friendly. I've got the sniffles and am feeling a little feisty today. Which totally reminded me of this: DAAAAAANG those claws and teeth are scary! If you haven't seen the You Tube video, you need to see it. Informative, yet ridiculous.
Anyway, I saw that little cutie patootie at the place where we had our end of the year business meeting. I don't give enough love to skincare products. I just kind of expect them to do their job, and help my skin stay outta trouble. There have been a lot of skincare products that haven't worked for me, and the few that have worked are way underappreciated. But today I want to tell you about a skincare product I love so much that I use it year round, and have even repurchased it a few times: MAC Oil Control Lotion! MAC Oil Control Lotion $15.00 for 30mL/1.0 fl oz. $30.00 for 50ml/1.7 fl oz. The ultimate no-shine base for oil control. Natural exfoliants help improve texture and clarity. Lightweight and instantly matte, bonds makeup to the skin for fewer touch-ups. Oil-free hydration with natural colloidal minerals and antioxidants. Formulated to keep skin pH-balanced. Use day or night. My skin can be very oily, but it can occasionally be a little dry and sensitive from the baking soda I use with my facial cleanser. Instead of trying to find a product that can work with varying conditions from day to day, I just avoided face moisturizer all together. I had never found one that I liked--most of them felt oily and heavy and made my foundation melt off. But MAC Oil Control Lotion is some sort of magical potion that just makes my skin perfectly moisturized without being oily. It's a thin, light feeling lotion that applies easily and smoothly to skin with your finger tips. The convenient locking pump applicator dispenses a pea-sized amount--I use 2-3 pumps to cover my entire face. It keeps my skin perfectly hydrated but not oily all day long. And one bottle lasts me months, since a dab will do ya!
If you're like me--acne prone with oily skin--and you think you don't need lotion for your face, this one just might change your mind! Lipgloss+Spandex rating: |
