It's Been a Long Time!

I've been on a bit of a hiatus for the past several weeks, due to the declining health, and eventual loss of my last remaining grandparent.  Things have been rough for my family for the last year, and I needed a little time to collect myself and get back into the groove of life.  I hope to be blogging more often, but hope everyone understands if my posts are a bit scattered for a while.  There has been a lot going on.

I did want to make sure to mention that I have been using my Solutions Total Radiance skincare line, and have been getting amazing results with it.  I struggled with acne through most of my teen and early adult life, and the scarring that was left behind had me feeling less than enthused about the quality of my skin.  It's hard to put your best face forward when your face isn't it's best.  Let me be the first to tell you, though, this stuff is phenomenal.

I started out with just the cleanser and serum, and really liked the smell and feel of the products.  Eventually I purchased the day and night moisturizers, as well as the thermal cleanser/exfoliator, and lastly the eye gel.  Now that I am on a regular schedule with all of the products, I can honestly say that this is the best stuff I have ever used.

Here is the order I use the products in:

In the mornings, I wash with the thermal cleanser.  It heats up and scrubs away my impurities.  I love the way my skin feels when I rinse it off.  So soft, and clean.  As someone who still gets the occasional monthly blemish, using this regularly keeps things clear and controllable.  I find that it's gentle enough to use daily, and it really prepares my skin for the moisturizer.  I typically follow with my A.M. moisturizer, but when my skin feels extra dry, I'll sometimes use the serum, even though they recommend it for evening.  I find that it helps my make-up go on smoother, and makes my skin glow.  I've been getting comments almost everywhere I go.  I end with the eye gel, which helps my under-eye concealer go on smoothly.

In the evenings I use the regular cleanser.  It washes away all of my make-up, to the point where I feel like I don't even need a toner, anymore.  I was an avid toner enthusiast, but when I make sure to rinse well, it's a step that I can skip.  Then I put on my serum, and the P.M. moisturizer.   Sometimes, I will use the eye gel at night, but I am prone to those little white bumps, when I over moisturize the skin around my eyes.  When I wake up in the mornings, my face is really radiant.  Just like the product claims.  There have been times when I have overslept, and have not had time to put on make-up before having to leave the house, and with continued use, feel totally confident without needing to paint my face. 

I cannot recommend this stuff with more enthusiasm!  It has changed the texture of my skin, and my acne scarring is totally unnoticible, as long as I am consistent with my routine.  The price is right, too.

Just my less that $30 worth!  That's what you can pay for the entire system, if you watch the sales. :)
