Dampen skin with water. Slowly and gently massage Poredermabrasion cream for 1 minute. Leave it on for 1-2 minutes to activate deep cleansing. Rinse well, pat dry. Best if used 1-2 times per week, allowing 3 days between applications.

My thoughts:

Love... Love... Love... this product so much! When I saw *exfoliator* on the packaging I knew it would be love at first sight. This product definitely works magic. I've been using it for over 2 months about twice a week and notice the texture of my skin a lot smoother. Call this little blue tube a home version of microdermabrasion. It will literally exfoliate all your dead skin cells and get deep into your pores to cleanse it all off. You will notice a difference immediately! With all the makeup I wear during workdays, I am always dying for a deep pore refining treatment. This works so great in the shower when your pores are nice and wide open. I guarantee you that your skin feel renewed and smooth like a babies butt. The texture is a bit on the grittier side so anyone who has sensitive and delicate skin might need to be a little more careful when using the product. It is safe since it was made for all skin types. Overall, I am satisfied with the results and will continue to use this weekly. Very impressed with Dr. Brandt products as this is my first time trying anything from the line. Will probably look into other products and try them out as well. Highly recommend this for anyone wanting a pore minimizing makeover.

"Look at the mirror... you've become BRANDT NEW."

FOREO LUNA REVIEW

FOREO LUNA Facial Cleansing & Anti-Aging Device



So I was lucky enough to be able to try out this new revolutionary skin care device! I currently use a Clarisonic Mia so this device was definitely going to be a challenge. Love comparing products that are both highly rated. :)

What is Foreo Luna?

A nonabrasive silicone brush cleansing device that also doubles as an anti-aging tool. Up to 8,000 T-Sonic (transdermal sonic) pulsations are channeled through the silicone touch-points per minute for a deep cleanse. The Luna has been clinically tested to be 35x more hygienic than other cleansing devices removing 99.5% of all dirt and sebum and 98.5% of all makeup residue. Comes in 3 different models for all skin types: Sensitive/Normal, Combination, and Ultra-Sensitive.

The ultra hygienic silicone design is nonporous to resist bacteria buildup making it up to 35x more hygienic than bristled brushes. It is made so durable that there is no replacement required. The Luna directs lower-frequency pulsations through an arrangement of concentric ridges directly onto wrinkle-prone areas to smooth the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It leaves the skin feeling firmer and more elastic.

Recommended usage for the device is around two minutes each morning and evening with your regular cleanser or facial wash.

(Charger port)


My thoughts on this...

I was really impressed with this little handheld gadget. First of all, I compare the value and price point compared to other devices (exp: Clarisonic). This will definitely save you money in the long run due to no replacements. It is backed up by a 2 year Limited Year Warranty and 10 Year Quality Warranty. That sounds like a safe situation when it comes to having issues. Since there are no *brush heads* involved... you will pay the one time price of $199 and that is final. It makes me think twice about my Clarisonic when it comes to the cost of all those replacement heads now. *sigh* This is known to be more gentle so it's perfect for sensitive skin as well. I love that is waterproof and I can use this while I am taking a shower. The compact size makes it easy to carry around for traveling and the battery life is incredible. It lasts for up to 7 months for a 450 full cleansing and anti-aging routines from a single charge. BRILLIANT! Who has time to charge things all day anyway?

Only thing I can say I disliked about this was that the shape of the device made it hard to reach over and under my eyes. Which means I have to give it a nice rub in those areas with my fingertips regardless. Other than that, I am pretty sold on this little beauty and so many of my makeup artist/beauty junkie buddies are already hooked on this! Highly recommend this for anyone in search of a great cleansing device that can also make you look and feel younger again.

Review: Beautisol Exscrub Me Citrus Face Exfoliant

It's scrub-a-dub review time! This one in particular is by a brand called Beautisol founded by Sinead Norenius, a fellow beauty blogger and licensed aethetician. She is well known for her Beautisol Self Tanning products featured on HSN.com. Who doesn't love that fake and bake glow!

Excrub Me is a citrus face exfoliant made to give your skin that squeaky deep cleansed, polished finish by removing dead skin cells and eradicating impurities. It is infused with certified organic orange peel, lemon, and grapefruit extracts. Best part of it all, it's paraben-free, sodium laurel/laureth sulphate free, vegan and cruelty free (PETA certified)!




As you can see in the picture above, a pea size amount is all you need to cover your entire face. The scrub is all white with tiny red jojoba beads that helps remove dead skin cells. Feels a bit gritty and like a micro exfoliant type of texture. Not really used to applying this type of exfoliant so it was a little weird at first... then I got used to it after the second time.

Not sure if I recommend this for sensitive skin types because of the texture. Might be a little bit rough and harsh on the skin perhaps? I could be wrong but just from my own personal experience I felt that it was not the most gentle feel on the skin. Normally, I would use my St. Ives Apricot Scrub or a Vitamin C scrub that feels creamy with exfoliating beads. It definitely feels amazing after you rinse off since all your dead skin cells have washed away! Hooray for clean exfoliated skin! Personally, I wouldn't say this is my favorite or the best I have tried but it does what it says it's supposed to do. That's what is important right? :)

Directions: Dampen skin and apply a small amount of Exscrub Me to fingertips, then massage onto face in circular motions. Rinse well with warm water and pat dry.

Dermalogica Dynamic Skin Recovery Spf 50 Review

Hello everyone! Happy Friday to all! Hope you are all having an amazing week.
Here is my brief review of the Dermalogica Dynamic Skin Recovery SPF 50 Moisturizer I received from the iFabbo shop a few weeks ago. This is actually my very first time trying out the brand itself so it was an exciting moment for me. Always heard about the brand and how effective it was especially being used by so many skin care professionals all around the world.




"Help minimize skin-aging triggers with this medium-weight, emollient daily moisturizer with Broad Spectrum SPF50. Patented Oleosome encapsulation technology boosts sunscreen effectiveness for critical protection against UV rays, while a unique polypeptide helps encourage collagen-producing activities."





♡ Pros: SPF 50, Anti-Aging benefits, Moisturizing.

♡ Cons: A little pricey, not a lightweight moisturizer.

♡ Price: $65

♡ Promo Code: $25 off $150 or more w/ "SUMMER25" (expires 7/31/14)

♡ Where to buy: www.dermalogica.com

♡ Overall: This moisturizer felt amazing on the skin but just a tad bit heavy for me during summer time. I would definitely prefer this during the fall and winter season. It is very hydrating and keeps my skin well protected with an SPF50. Supposed to help reduce hyperpigmentation and help stimulate collagen into your skin as well. Definitely all great skincare benefits that I need currently as I am in my 30s now. A little goes a long way so the product being 1.7 oz should last longer than you imagine. Reminder this is a day lotion so you won't be using it 2x a day. You can find more products from this AGE SMART line on the Dermalogica website. Link is posted above! :)

Review: Garnier Moisture Rescue Fresh Cleansing Foam

This is a review on the Garnier Moisture Rescue Fresh Cleansing Foam product I just picked up days ago from Walmart. I actually found this in the "clearance" shelf sitting by itself... all lonely and dying to be picked up. So when I saw $4 sticker... guess what I did... PICKED IT UP! Easy. :)

Originally it was $4.97. Which means I only saved about a dollar but hey that's better than nothing right? The amount of product you get in this was well worth the price.

Deep cleans and detoxifies while moisturizing. Antioxidant made with Fruit Waters.

❤ PROS: Antioxidants, Smells pleasant, inexpensive, moisturizing, oil free.

❤ CONS: NONE

❤ PRICE: $4.97-5.99

❤ RATING: A

❤ OVERALL: I really like this cleanser a lot. When it comes to face wash, I am pretty picky about the finish and how it lathers. This one doesn't foam or bubble up like my Kanebo Naive cleansing foam (my all time fav) but it does just enough to give me a nice deep cleansed finish. Love how it gives my skin a nice clean, moisturized, firm feel afterwards. It is oil free and also allergy tested. Perfect for sensitive skin types. With so much product and the price being super affordable, I can't imagine not loving it!

✩Where to buy?

KOSE current promo on SASA.com + FREE SHIPPING!

KOSE - Softymo Deep Cleansing Oil
230 ml

Originally $13.30 (15% OFF) ---> $11.30 ($2.00 savings)

*discount will show in shopping cart once you add to basket

[Click on image below to enlarge]

KOSE - Softymo Medicated White Washing Foam
150 g

Originally $7.00 (15% OFF) ---> $5.60 ($1.40 savings)

Hey guys SASA.COM is offering FREE International Shipping once again with your orders of $29 or more. This is always a perfect time to stock up on your favorites. They always have the best deals on amazing Asian cosmetic brands such as My Beauty Diary Masks, Koji, SkinFood, Naruko and more. $29 in your cart can't be too hard to build right? ha ha ツ

Well currently they are also running a promo on specific KOSE products. I noticed my favorite cleansing oil was one of them! I love love love their cleansing oils. It smells great, gets rid of all my makeup and even waterproof formula mascaras. Best part of it all is the price... So cheap for a generous amount of product 230ml. Compared to SHU's cleansing oil (150ml) for $31 or MAC cosmetic cleansing oil (150ml) for $28. It doesn't compare in price/volume. Works just as good if anything better. Why pay more? Plus you don't have to pay taxes and shipping costs which is always a great factor to justify your purchase.

Another item I posted above was a cleansing foam product that's also part of the promo sale. Such a good deal on a large tube of face wash. I swear by Japanese drugstore beauty items. One of my favorite cleansing foams are by Kanebo Naive. They're super affordable and does an amazing job at cleansing your skin. I am pretty sure this one is very similar in quality. Foams up very well so you use very little amount and gives you a deep cleansed squeaky clean feel afterwards. Highly recommend all of them! Doesn't hurt to try when it's only $5.60? Beats Neutrogena/Clean&Clear out the door.

Remember to ALWAYS wash your face morning and night and follow up with a daily skin care routine. You might be youthful and feel no need to make an effort now... but there's no such thing as "Never aging". Prevention is the KEY to beautiful skin.
