I’m curious what you use for skin care in your life. I’ve used a variety of anything and everything from Aspirin to olive oil to to try and help this mug of mine look illuminated in any way possible. I blame my kids, they destroyed everything lovely about my superficial appearance years ago and I’ve tried everything since to get it back.
BeautyMint, one of the divisions of the stylish company BeachMint, asked me to try some products from their recently created personalized skin care line for my specific brand of dermatological needs, and so far I really like them.
BeautyMint is a little like other mail order skincare brands in that they automatically send what you need every few months so you can have uninterrupted beauty products at your disposal. I went to the BeautyMint website to fill out my skin profile which could have read:
for the stressed, overtired, oily, broken-out working mother of 2 kids who has yet to get her groove back.
Instead it said things like ‘would you like to increase the firmness of your neck?’ the answer to which is always YES PLEASE, send help!
They were a little more polite.
The products themselves are full of delicious natural ingredients like Aloe and chamomile and feel very natural on my skin. The essential cleanser doesn’t feel like a stripping cleanser, it feels like I’m slathering Aloe Vera all over my face twice a day which reminds me of the beach, which = awesome. There’s even a handy little instruction card for special people like me to reference morning and night when I use the products; using them out of order is more my speed but it’s verboten. In the short time I’ve used them my face feels more smooth and tight which, when it comes to beauty, are just the right adjectives.

I'm Allison, founder and editor of Petit Elefant. I run the gamut from granola to glamour and love everything in between. I think the beach is always a good idea, as is Diet Dr. Pepper; on ice. Sometimes I put out the fires and sometimes I start them. Sometimes I really do have it all together. Sometimes my children say otherwise. We just like to keep it real around here.
How does it work with acne prone skin?
The products sent to you are customized based on a survey you fill out on their website. So what you end up using are products perfectly tailored to your skin, for acne, oily skin, whatever it may be.
Image Skincare is hands down the BEST skin care line I’ve come across. It’s available from professionals only as it’s a cosmeceutical, so it’s actually going past the top layer of dead skin into the live layers where *change* can actually take place (by law, OTC products can’t penetrate past the top layer). It’s paraben free, fragances come from cold pressed essential oils, and it’s eeeeeasily customizable. Seriously. The BEST!
