The secret to amazing looking skin

by Allison on May 21, 2012 in Beauty, Style · 2 comments

I don’t need to tell you I’m obsessed with facial care.  I whip up homemade beauty recipes at least once a week: yogurt face masks, carrot facials, you name it I’ve tried it.  I’ve also tried practically every product on the market promising to make me 17 again. 

Hint: I’m not going to be 17 again. Ever.

For a few years now I’ve had the Clarisonic in my sights thinking it’s exactly what I need, the secret to amazing looking skin of women everywhere!  I’ve been coveting one of those whirring face brushes which is, I know, #10 on the list of no-no’s from on high, but it’s true.  I covet.  A lot.  Sometimes.

The secret to amazing skin

So a few months ago while wandering around Costco, as one does, loading up on 6-packs of deodorant and ginormous bottles of vitamin C, I ran across the more budget friendly version of the Clarisonic: a face brush by Olay.  Since I’m such a huge, huge fan of Olay I snatched one up for under $30 and took it home for a test drive.

This thing is a game changer. 

Seriously my skin is amazing when I use the face brush regularly.  It’s waterproof so I can use it in the bath or shower, either with the facial cleanser it came with or my favorite, favorite, favorite (favorite) luxurious facial scrub Strivectin.

Guys, the secret to amazing looking skin?  It isn’t so secret anymore.

how to make acne cream

I am at the mercy of all things beauty related, especially when it comes to skincare.  More specifically, I’m at the beck-and-call of every bit of acne that showed up 20 years too late.  I’m a hot mess of hormonal imbalance and my poor, poor face has taken the brunt of it all. I didn’t [...]

Pretty Amazing Lip Gloss

We like to talk about makeup around here, in case you hadn’t noticed. All kinds of makeup, and I confess to being something of a lipgloss junkie. It would not be inaccurate to say I probably have 5 different glosses in my purse right now, not to mention how many others in my makeup case [...]

Utah weather is jacked up, and that’s a fact.  Regardless of the time of year, Utah likes to mix it up.  There’s almost always snow on the ground for Easter, and once in a while January throws us a 70 degree day.  You know, for fun.  It’s cold right now, but it’s warming up so [...]
