Hot Drugstore Find of the Week: Clean & Clear Continuous Control Acne Cleanser

Hello Divas!

I hope you are having a beautiful day!  Life is a blessing!

The last quarter of the year I begin to experience a lot of acne breakouts on my face.  I knew it was stress, but I was kind of frustrated and at lost on how to get rid of it.  I had not had any acne breakouts in quite some time, so I really did not have anything in my beauty arsenal to combat it.

Well I found Clean & Clear Continuous Control Acne cleanser and it has been a life saver.  I have used it for a month.  After about two weeks of use, I stopped having breakouts. Woot!  This cleanser contains 10% benzoyl peroxide.  It has a creamy texture and I use it with my Clarisonic.  But be careful.  If it gets in your eyes or mouth, it burns and irritates like crazy.  I learned the hard way.  However, it does not dry out my skin like other benzoyl peroxide cleansers have the tendency to do.

This cleanser gets rid of pimples in a short period of time, is moisturizing and non irritating to my skin. That is why it is my Hot Drugstore Find of The Week!  Clean & Clear Continuous Control Acne cleanser retails for $6.49 and you can purchase it at CVS.

Clarisonic Plus: Week 2 & 3

Hello Divas!

Life is beautiful! So enjoy, enjoy, enjoy!

Well it has been three weeks now since I have been using the Clarisonic Plus.  Sorry I missed last week's post about the Clarisonic Plus.  I was running around like a crazy person and barely made it through the week. Whew!

But I have still been using my Clarisonic Plus day and night.  So here are my pros and cons:

PROS

My skin is brighter and smoother.  Also my blackhead blemishes seem to be fading fast.  They are less evident.  The body brush is phenemenol.  It has definitely improved my skin tone on my chest, back and elbows.  I have recently started using it on the back of my ankles.  I have some discoloration in that area due to my excessive wear of 4 inch pumps.

CONS

The Clarisonic brand facial cleansers are not a go.  First, the gel cleanser for oily skin, broke me out something fierce.  So I decided to use the gentle cleanser for sensitive skin and it does not lather...at all.  I am so not a fan of non-lathering facial cleansers.  I always feel like my skin is still dirty after using them.  I though about using the nourishing care cleanser for normal skin, but decided not to take any chances and just use my own cleanser.  Now that I am using my cleanser, I am much happier.  No breakouts!

So in conclusion, the Clarisonic Plus is still performing miracles on my skin.  The Clarisonic brand facial products are not working for me. 

Check back next week for my week 4 update!

Achieve Clean and Moisturized Skin with 3Lab's Perfect Cleansing Foam

Hello Divas!

I hope your day is wonderful! It is so pretty here in Atlanta.  I hope it lasts!


Remember my post on BeautyFix?  Well they sent me out a BeautyFix subscription of their Spring Collection.  I was able to choose the products I received from a variety of "hot" beauty items and I chose a 3LAB Perfect Cleansing Foam and 3LAB "M" Cream.  More on the  "M" Cream later.

I have been using the Cleanser for a month now and I absolutely love it.  The best feature of this cleanser is that you only need a small pea size amount to get the absolute richest and creamiest lather.  Genius!  I know the cleanser will last a very long time and that makes me feel better about the $40 price tag.  If it lasts me 6 months, then I will definitely buy another tube. The Perfect Cleansing Foam is very gentle.  It is not irritating and my skin is so soft and moisturized after use.  For someone who has sensitive skin, this is my perfect type of cleanser.  The one thing I do not like about the cleanser is that it burns my eyes.  So please follow the instructions and DO NOT get the cleanser into your eyes.  Not pretty.

3LAB's Perfect Cleansing Foam is formulated with tiny Vitamin-E microbeads and when the cleanser is massaged on your face in a circular motion, the beads help to stimulate circulation.

This cleanser is great and my skin loves it!  You can purchase a tube of this cleanser here or at any Nordstrom's.

Hot Drugstore Find of the Week: Clean & Clear Make-Up Dissolving Foaming Cleanser

Hello Divas!

I hope you have a fantastic hump day!

I am always changing facial cleansers. Why? Well sometimes I feel my skin becomes immune to a cleanser if I use it for an extended period of time. Other times, I may be experiencing problems with my skin and need a cleanser that addresses that problem. Most likely, I just want to try something new! LOL!

A month ago my girl, Yummy411, wrote a wonderful blog post about Clean & Clear's Make-Up Dissolving Foaming Cleanser and I had to try it. I obsessively use Clean & Clear's Toner for Sensitive Skin. In my opinion, it is the best bargain Toner on the market. I am happy to report the Make-Up Dissolving Foaming Cleanser is a gem too! I have been using this cleanser for a while now and I am hooked! What I love about this cleanser is that you only need 2 pumps to achieve a great lather. So I know it will last a while. In addition, it cleans very thoroughly yet is very gentle and does not dry out your face! Plus as advertised, it removes make-up like a pro! After washing my face all traces of my make-up is gone! This cleanser is a great drugstore buy! You can purchase this cleanser from CVS and it retails for $6.99.

Toodles!
