Prep Your Skin For Fall With Powerhouse Skin Care Part 1

I haven’t been out in the sun too much this summer, but it doesn’t look it’s best right now.  So, I am trying different skin care treatments and moisturizers to get my skin in shape for the cooler weather.

Aromatherapy Associates Revitalising Face Oil ($76 USD) — An effective blend of potent essential oils and natural plant extracts to restore vitality to dull skin. Frankincense, renowned for its rejuvenating and firming properties is combined with Borage and Rose to smooth your skin’s appearance and enhance radiance, for a healthy, glowing complexion.

What I think:  My dull skin can sure use this hydrating face oil.  I love using this at night and in the morning, my skin is soft and glowing.  I love the natural oils and plant extracts.  It is also a light oil, not greasy at all.

PCA SKIN Intensive Clarity Treatment ($106 USD) — Vital for acneic skin, this salicylic acid formula includes retinol, niacinamide and hexylresorcinol to dramatically reduce and prevent breakouts, while ethyl linoleate, retinopeptide and lilac stem cell extract reduce sebum production and inflammation. With patented OmniSome delivery technology, the ingredients are delivered deeper into the skin for improved results.

What I think: I do still get breakouts (plus I have teenage daughters), so it is important to have quality clearing skin care on hand. Masks are popular now, as they should be, there’s one for each skin concern.  This mask removes dirt and gunk in the skin and helps it stay clear.  The clarity treatment is nice at night.  Skin is much smoother and clearer in the morning!
