for the majority of my life so far, i have been blessed with pretty clear skin. there was that short period of time right after i got my first period, but even then, it was more like a blemish here or there. never a full blown case all over. i have almost always used oil of olay products for washing my face and have nothing bad to say about their products, but now that i am getting older, i have noticed more blackheads and the texture of my skin is just not as soft as it once was.
at first glance most people wont notice my blackheads. in fact, i am probably the only one who notices, simply because i am constantly in the mirror examining my face. it's insane how much i am in the mirror freaking out about my face even though i know that i have pretty great skin. however, those blackheads were bothering me, so i started randomly trying new things to get rid of them.
i tried several different products and none of them worked. they either made my face super oily, super dry or just did nothing at all. i even tried some stuff that totally messed my skin up so bad it felt like i had 2nd degree burns on my face. yikes! i probably could have tried a $30 bottle of something that only lasts a month, but i wasn't about to spend that much money on my face. most of my clothes didn't even cost that much.
recently, i discovered the new l'oreal go 360º clean deep facial cleanser for sensitive skin and i have been in love ever since. not only has it started to clear up some of those small blackheads that have been driving me crazy, it has made a difference in the softness of my skin.
it comes with a scrublet as well that is gentle on my skin. previously, i was using an exfoliating pad that i thought was the best thing for cleaning my face until i started using the scrublet. i believe the exfoliating pad was actually too harsh for my face, but i just never realized it until now. i thought i had to buff the heck out of my skin to remove dead skin cells and make my face soft and flake free. i was so wrong. after using the l'oreal go 360º clean deep facial cleanser, i no longer have flaky dry areas on my face, and i have also noticed that i don't have to use nearly as much moisturizer as i did before either.
is it correct to say that maybe i was actually drying my face out and it was dehydrated before?
come back tomorrow to hear all about another facial product i have been using at night before i go to bed as well.
