Skin Care Items I’ve Tried Recently: Part 3: Face Creams, Oils, & Microderm Scrubs

Okay, finally on to the last part of my recent skin care items.  If you missed Part 1 or Part 2, check those out first, or I will also have them linked at the end of this post. 🙂

Face Creams:

Boots Botanics Day Cream– I first received this in one of my Influenster Vox Boxes and have since purchased another one.  Having combination skin, it can sometimes be tricky to find a good face cream that doesn’t make your skin too oily, and also one that isn’t too lightweight that it will dry it out.  This gives just the right amount of moisture for the day.  They also sell a night cream, but I have not tried that one yet. It’s on my list though 😉 .

Vichy Liftactiv Supreme– I also received this in one of my Influenster Vox Boxes – this is an anti-aging, anti-wrinkle and firming corrective care face cream made for any skin type.  I don’t notice a huge difference from using this every day, but I still use it, especially under the eyes for added moisture.

 

Oils:

Tarte Maracuja Oil– I have used this for many different things.  I have used it on my eyelids when I had a bad reaction to an eye cream- my lids were completely dried up, peeling and cracking and this oil saved them.  Mix a little in with your foundation to give it a more luminous, glowy effect.  Put it on your lips when they are needing some extra moisture.  The best time to put it on is at night so it soaks into your skin.  It also helped remove my eyelash extensions.

 

Mullein & Sparrow French Lavender Oil– I got this in my FabFitFun Fall Box.  I am still trying this guy out, but so far, so good.  I love the smell of it! It smells just like lavender essential oils.  It says it is preferred as a daily moisturizer.  I have tried mixing it in with body lotion and that works out great!

 

Microderm Scrubs:

Dr. Brandt Microdermabrasion Skin Exfoliant– I got a sample of this from Hautelook years ago, and just recently got it in another sampler.  I forgot how much I loved this stuff!  It makes your skin feel refreshed and like new!  You can’t be too harsh with this, but as long as you follow the directions you’ll be just fine.  Definitely a product worth trying!

 

Stemulation Daily Micro Derm Scrub for Face and Body– I received this in my Summer FabFitFun Box!  I was not a fan at first, especially after using the Dr. Brandt microderm scrub, however the more I used it, the more I began to like it.  It is not harsh at all, but still gets rid of all of that yucky dead skin.  I self-tan a lot, so I don’t use it while I have the tan on, but it works perfectly for helping get rid of the last bit of tan, and helps exfoliate prior to a new round of self-tanner.

That concludes an overview of the skin care products I’ve been using.  Check out Part 1 here- all about face masks, and then Part 2 here– all about toners, micellar waters, and serums.
