This post is a follow up after my Microhydrodermabrasion treatment.
First off let me tell you a little about my skin. I have combination skin with a extremely oily t-zone and a little dry on my cheeks. I have for the past years been using Proactiv to keep my large pore ( some open), black heads, white heads and under the skin pimples at bay.
I LOVE MAKEUP! It is my life !
However I do not to like to wear it every day.. Shock I know!
This pack was recommended to me by the lady that did my treatment to enhance and to keep my skin in top shape during the duration of the treatment.
This pack contains:
-Daily Facial Cleanser
-Daily Exfoliating Facial Scrub
-Moisturising Daily Defence with spf 30+
-Clearskin Gel
-Soothing Gel
-Deluxe Facial Cloth
My routine that I was prescribed is:
MORNING
-Dampen face with warm water
-Apply Daily facial cleanser and emulsify with fingers in a circular movement all over face ( I was told not to avoid the eye area)
-Take the Deluxe Facial Cloth and saturate with warm water, gently squeeze excess and use it to remove the Daily Facial Cleanser
-Wait till dampness is gone (do not use a towel? I don't know why? You don't need to anyway because its fairly dry anyways) then apply the moisturising Daily Defence.
NIGHT
-Dampen face with warm water
-Apply Daily facial cleanser and emulsify with fingers in a circular movement all over face ( I was told not to avoid the eye area)
-Take the Deluxe Facial Cloth and saturate with warm water, gently squeeze excess and use it to remove the Daily Facial Cleanser
-Dampen face with warm water again
-Apply Daily exfoliating facial scrub and emulsify with fingers in a circular movement all over face
(this time do avoid eyes!)
-Take the Deluxe Facial Cloth and saturate with warm water, gently squeeze excess and use it to remove the Daily Facial Cleanser
-Wait till dampness is gone
-Apply the Clearskin Gel
-Apply the Soothing Gel
This seems like a long progress but it isnt, the whole thing takes a min or two. I love the fact I dont have to use a toner!
The Product's so far:
Daily Facial Cleanser:
I really like the texture, It does have AHA's in it so I was expecting a burn or a tingle or something but nothing! I actually find as I take a few seconds to emulsify the cleanser I feel like my skin absorbs it.I noticed that it looks like my pores are inflamed when it is on ( all my pores turn into red little dots) but it doesn't hurt and it go's straight away when I wipe the product off.
Daily Exfoliating Facial Scrub:
This really surprised me I didn't realise how abrasive this is compared to my older exfoliating cleanser (which was proactiv step 1 ) It wasn't pain full and it didn't burn I was just really surprised by the texture hahaha.
I could actually feel the exfoliator penetrating my skin once I removed it (with the cloth of course) not only was my skin polished it actually had a sheen.
Moisturising Daily Defence with spf 30+:
Never in my whole life would I have ever thought that i would be using sunscreen on my face let alone DAILY! My experiences with sunscreen (kids sunscreen, oil free sunscreen, sensitive skin sunscreen etc) have been hell, I bought this know that it would be thrown in my beach bad to never really see the light of day. BUT I will try anything once and this BLEW MY MIND! I love it, completely mattifying, no oil threw out the day at all and it doesn't feel thick, it doesn't even feel like I have anything on my skin. Also apparently sunscreen is the best anti ageing product..BONUS!
Clearskin Gel:
I'm pretty sure this is the product that has been minimising my pores and closing my open pores. This is quite a strong product, it does have a cooling sensation on contact with skin and it is recommend to use the soothing gel afterwards always.
Soothing Gel:
I'm quite familiar with this products from my past. I used to use it on my body when ever i had laser hair removal and bad sunburn, I'm convinced there is a tropical agent in it. I recommend every one try this product even if its for after the beach application only.
Deluxe Facial Cloth:
This smooths cloth is almost like a super soft car shami, it almost squeaks as you use it to remove products, It doesn't hurt even after a super hard exfoliation and its easy to rinse out as well as absorb a
lot of water.
All up I'm very happy with my results with these products in whole. I don't get oily threw the day like I used to with my old products (proactiv three step system and proactic green tea moisturiser) I don't feel like my skin is being dried out and my face is feeling more hydrated and plumper with more elasticity.
As it is early days I will be going a update in a week or two to compare.
Thank you for reading me!
