Skincare update

It's been nearly three straight weeks using the skincare line we purchased from Japan and I must say I LOVE IT! Weird, but I can actually see the difference in texture and tone. Out of all the products, my favorites are the cleansing cream which really seems to even out my skintone/color, the skin lotion that tightens and moisturizes at the same time, and the eye cream. Don't get me started on the eye cream! I was happy using the ROC and another eye gel from L'Occitane, but this stuff has really reduced the puffiness and bags and even managed to lighten my dark circles.

Last weekend, I worked an event in Las Vegas and had more make up on than a drag queen/showgirl. It had to be a few layers thick. It usually would take a good scrubbing that would leave my face raw for a few hours to clean the stuff off, but the cleansing oil did a quick and mighty efficient job of removing every last bit of war paint I had on. It took nearly two hours to apply the make up and less than three minutes to wash it off without any irritation. So, I guess I love the cleansing oil which I thought I'd dislike.

The serum seems to work well for my husband (yes, he's using it too) and my girlfriend, but I stopped using it after the third day. Vitamin C products tend to cause redness and makes my face burn a bit.

Lastly, the skin cream which is thicker than the skin lotion works well as a night moisturizer, but is a little to heavy for day use. Using it in the evenings really does soften my skin though. Oh and after using the aftershave milk, I haven't had any ingrown hairs or abrasions after shaving my legs!

All-in-all I am really pleased with this product line and am looking forward to see what the company comes out with next! Stay tuned :)
