Nowadays I use Ultraceuticals products because they are just so nice, they are a bit pricey, but my mum always says, "pay for it while your young so when you get older, your not trying to fix up any damage/concerns that could have already been addressed/minimised".
Wise words mother, I do say. Anyway my skin care routine started off with Dermalogic, now I'm not saying anything negative about the brand itself, but the products just didn't work for me. I was given the sensitive range, the light purple one and man, did my skin deteriorate. I ended up with acne, I have a) never had acne in my life and b) as soon as I ran out of the cleanser I stopped using it (and about 6 weeks once all the damage was fixed) it went away... Hmm so I put 2 and 2 together and can up with do not use this product again!!
I used Proactiv for a month before trying a new product to clean up the pimples/acne/complete disaster that was apparent on my face. I was shopping with my mum and she was restocking some of her Ultraceuticals products. I was telling her about the issues that I had with my skin, and she had also witnessed it. And then I came up with the genius idea to try some of the Ultraceuticals products. The kind lady behind the counter gave me a couple of samples to try before I purchased anything and within a week I was a changed woman.
I returned the following week and purchased the Ultraceuticals Even Skintone Serum (Mild) this stuff is amazing, I don't use pimple cream anymore this works as it helps me maintain my skin, fights any breakouts/spots and brightens. I'm in love with it, I started off using this every second night as it's something that your skin needs to adjust with. Now depending on my skin, I either use this every night to every second night, and my skin is the best it has been.
The Ultra Moisturiser Cream another purchase I made the on my first visit. I use this as a night cream as it's light but still moistursers and nourishes my skin. I put this on after my serums.
The following week I purchased the Ultra A Skin Perfecting Serum, this is nice but I'm not sure whether it correctly matches my needs, anyway it's nourishing and my forehead lines and dehydration have significantly decreased and are virtually not there. Score!
I also purchased the Ultra Protective Daily Moisturiser SPF +30 and use it daily under my makeup. Ultraceuticals recommend using an SPF of a day when you use their products. I should mention that the you are only supposed to use the serums of a night time, not during the day when your skin is exposed to the sun.
The Ultra Balancing Mist is a product I won in a competition on Primped.com.au. Thanks Primped! The only downside to this one is you have to stretch your arm out as far as you can go as the spray goes a bit funny. The product itself is pretty nice however.
I also am using the Dermalogic Total Eye Care eye cream, only because it was really expensive and I want to use it all up. It's not bad, the tube lasts forever!
What are your must have products or brands in your skin care routine?
