My skin care routine
for the past year has varied only slightly, centering on three simple products
for cleaning and clearing. From The Lab's AM/PM
Cleanser No.586 is so light, fragrant and gentle on my skin. The
ingredients are a mix of plant extracts and natural humectants. My makeup
application is minimal on a daily basis so at the end of the day just a few
squirts of AM/PM on a cotton pad, swiped across my face is enough to clear away
the day. My skin is left feeling soft and supple and not at all tight.
When I first opened
the bottle of Face Scrub No.597, the
scent had my attention. It's so fresh and clean! The product is super creamy
with tiny round balls to ever-so gently exfoliate my skin. Initially, I used it
two to three times a week, but I felt it eventually became so effective that
once a week was enough. The result is baby-soft skin for days.
The mask. I couldn’t look better without Face Mask No.598. Rather than "pulling things to the surface" (as some masks are designed to do), after Face Mask No. 598 my skin is slightly firmer, smooth and clear. There's a glow on my skin which lasts a 2-3 days…I can see it, others notice and comment. I use the mask at least once a month but there have been a few times where I was just so tired from working long hours on set that I just needed a BOOST. Since I don't wear a lot of makeup (a bit of brightening concealer under eye/across cheeks, bronzer or cream cheek color and eye-brow enhancer), I rely on my favorite skin care products to show off my healthy skin and life style.
My skin care
routine, in addition to eating a fairly healthy diet --mostly veges, fruits,
eggs, legumes, sparkling mineral water, occasionally red meat, with a bit of
exercise (water fitness, walking) results in feeling good from the inside out.
I very carefully read labels, choose food items which are grown locally in
season, eat from animals which have been humanely raised, so it's just as
important what ingredients go into my skin care --after all, we are digesting
70% of what we put on our skin (our largest ORGAN).
There's not just one
effort or product responsible for feeling/looking healthy; I've found what
works for me most of the time. As the seasons change or my schedule ramps up or
cools down, I will change out certain foods or skin care products. For this past
year, this is my skin care base. I'm truly happy with the products at From The
Lab.
