OK, you've convinced me! You'll probably be getting a heated call from my husband.
Hahaha let me know how you like them! I currently only own the Daily Hydration Moisturizer and the Illuminating Eye cream but they do wonders for my face :thumbup:
I really, really want to do this! But, I'm being good this summer and it's horrible.

In the red box? I was terrified to try these because I have dry, acne-prone, somewhat-sensitive skin, but somehow these work. I'll be damned if I can move my face for 5 minutes after I've used them, though. So drying!My friends swear by stridex but my face is so sensative that it makes mine worse
A lot of people on the r/skinaddiction subreddit swear by it, but you usually have to follow up with moisturizer to prevent drying. My skin just gets irritated super easily
@MerryLou i love oils! they feel so nice. i went through a period where i pretty much just used rose hip oil with a drop or two of lavender essential oil on my face. these days i mostly stick to moisturizers for my face, but lots of nights i'll slather my hands in rose hip just before i go to sleep and then they're so soft in the morning.
@Vanyanka and
@LowCalCalzone have convinced me to try paula's choice once i start to run out of my current stuff. i use a lot of derma e right now. i'm not terribly attached to it, but it never irritates my skin and i like that it's largely natural.
I do take multi-vitamins just for my own piece of mind, but one of the best ways I've found to keep my acne at a low is just drinking water. I drink maybe 4-5 bottles a day and I can definitely notice a difference when I don't drink as much
does anyone take any supplements or eat/drink anything for their skin? drinking green tea seems to help my skin more than anything i've ever put on it. i also started taking black currant seed oil for the omega 3's this past winter which i think helps with overall moisture and inflammation. moisture was never really an issue for me until this past year. i guess it's a sign that my skin is getting older, sigh. for two weeks or so (generally during the waning moon) i also take dandelion/dock/thistle to clear out toxins.
my hormonal breakouts are erratic. some months everything will be fine and others are awful. so i just started (literally last week) taking dim. it's naturally found in cruciferous vegetables and it's supposed to help the body metabolize excess estrogen to balance things out a bit. i think it's too soon to tell if it's doing anything, but i haven't had any adverse reactions to it so i'm going to stick with it.
I love oils. SO much. My latest favourite is Marula - I had a sample of African Botanicals super expensive stuff but the Acure Marula oil is a fraction of the price and works just as awesomely.
This is exactly what I use at night much of the time (depending on how my skin is feeling.) Acure has great quality facial oils that are really inexpensive.
I've honestly been really lucky in that I've never had acne. I get breakouts sometimes but never acne. I use the Paula's Choice 2% BHA which is great for preventing blackheads and clogged pores and it doesn't irritate my skin. I know that it's helped my sister with her acne a lot, too.
