Current Skin Care Routine

I thought it's time for an update. It changed a bit, but it's still mainly from Origins. :-)

From time to time, I use Origins Check and Balances face wash. I don't really need a face wash since my skin is more on the dry side, but from time to time I like using it.

I use my beloved Make a Difference Plus + moisturizer twice a day. I reviewd it here *click* In addition, I use my GinZing eye cream in the morning..

..and in the evening I use Florenas lifting eye cream. I love this cream and will review it soon as well. :-)

Quite basic and it's perfect for my face. I can recommend every product I use. :-) Use any of those?? I hope you're happy with your face products.

Love,

Review: Garnier Hautklar Aktiv Washing Gel

This fella truly saved my life when I got a horrible rash all over my face. Don't believe me? Here a picture, I hesitated to post it, but I don't want people to think I'm vain.

As you can see those aren't "normal" pimples. I've never seen anyone having spots on their lids.. Due to the lighting one can't see the full extent of it, I couldn't get myself to post more distgusting ones.. It looks a little bit like measles.

I went to the dermatologist and he told me those things can take some time to vanish, it might be a reaction to stress or a product, but I hadn't used any new products, so that was out of the question. He gave me two creams and told me that I shouldn't get impatient if it would only get better at a very slow pace.

I thought okay, at least it will get better. Well, after two days I couldn't take it anymore, I went to the next drugstore and got the "Garnier Hautklar Aktiv Anti-Spot/Anti-Spot Marks" washing gel. I'm a big fan of the Hautklar SOS Anti Spot Pen and how much worse could it get?

It was amazing, already after a day my skin felt a bit smoother and not that bumpy anymore. I continued using it with my Clarisonic (sure this helped a lot as well) twice a day and after 5 days my face looked like this:

I was sooo happy. I continued using it, but stopped immediately when my skin was almost back to normal. I wouldn't call it aggressive, but it's definitely very strong and would be way too much for my skin under normal circumstances.

In a nutshell, it's a gorgeous product. If you haved troubled skin, go get it! But really think if you need it. I'm always gonna reuse it, when I need it. :-)

Love,

Guinevere
