Paula's Choice Skincare Routine Before and After
*Press Samples *Affiliate Links *Sponsored Post
These first three items shown in the Resist line are the Perfectly Balanced Foaming Cleanser, Weightless Advanced Repair Toner,and the Daily Pore-Refiner Treatment (Exfoliant) I use these products morning and night. Once a week I have been adding the fourth product which is the Weekly Retexturizing Foaming Treatment. If you aren't familiar with my blog or you tube channel let me tell you a little bit about my skin. I am about to turn 33 years old and I still have acne,breakouts,sensitive skin and I am fighting the signs of aging. It is hard to for me to find something that works for all of my needs.
I am going to be completly honest when I started this new skincare routine I didn't expect that it was going to work so quickly. I am just expecting these products to dry out my skin,make the acne worse, or do nothing at all and still just have terrible skin. When you have dry skin, but also acne prone skin it ages you. The acne scars, make me look older and that is upsetting and something I have always been insecure about.
So after two weeks of using Paula's Choice every morning and night as suggested I am happy to share my after photo. Now you are going to ask where the before is, but I think it is shown best in a video that is included at the bottom of this post. You can see the breakout that I dealt with every single day. I am talking cystic acne,zits, all that annoying stuff I thought I was beyond once I got out of high school. Let me remind you that I am a vegan,I don't drink soda,and it is not hormonal acne. I do suffer more breakouts (lucky,me) during that lovely time of the month. However, my acne and breakouts are there all the time. I am a very natural girl and I don't like to take medication, so I have refused any type of pill that has been pushed at me for my breakouts.
These next three products are to be used as needed. Such as the Anti-Aging Clear Skin Hydrator I use this before I put on my makeup or just after I cleanse my face before I start the day. The Youth Extend Daily Mattifying Fluid is used when I know it is going to be hot and humid that day and I know I need to be matte. The Ultra-Light Super Anti Oxidant Concentrate Serum goes on after I have cleansed my face before I use a sunscreen to help fight the wrinkles.
Now these three products come into play at night. I mentioned the acne breakouts, well don't forget that with acne comes scars. I haven't had any huge changes just yet but it has only been two weeks. However, I did feel confident enough to go out of the house without makeup on, and go to school yesterday. I even went out to lunch with my husband (in public) without makeup. I think that says a lot about how much of an improvement there is. I do notice a subtle difference in the scars or brown spots. I also notice that just after two weeks, my skin has a nice glow to it that was just wasn't there before.
This is the video you can watch and within seconds you will see my skin "before" ! It was filmed just three weeks ago. Right before I started using Paula's Choice skincare! Take notice of the breakouts on my forehead,around my cheeks and mouth. It was just an unpleasantness that I had unfortunately gotten use to dealing with and an expert at "hiding" with makeup.
This is my after!(Don't be hating on my Hello Kitty hairband)
I sent this to a few friends because I was so happy with how my skin looked, after just two weeks. I had literally just towel dried my face and applied the last step for my morning routine. They weren't prepared for all that first thing in the morning, but their responses were very kind. They know my struggles with my skin so they were happy for me. They also couldn't believe that I wasn't taking medication to clear it up so quickly. There are no active breakouts, and there hasn't been for the past week. My skin feels cleaner, my pores are smaller and I have high hopes for the brightener once I have used them to completion. I did not edit the photo in any way,it is just the lighting from my bathroom and I cropped it down to cut out the background. This is truly how my skin looks, I am just as surprised as you are !
You all know that I am a skincare junkie, being a beauty blogger I have tried it all. I have never posted a no makeup selfie before, and that says a lot. I at least usually draw brows on,and throw on some concealer but not this time. I am finally comfortable in my skin, and it has only taken 32 years to say that.
If you feel like you have tried everything, and just cannot find something that works for you. Please try Paula's Choice, I wish I had known about this product much sooner. I wouldn't have to be trying to correct years of damage if I could have stopped the breakouts years ago.
