Bridal Series #6: Achieve your Best Skin Ever with Dr. Brandt Skin Care products

If your big day is coming soon, it's important to stay on top of your skincare regimen to help your skin stay smooth and flawless. If you've got some a few months or more to go, there's no better time than to start figuring out how to get your skin to look its very best. If you have large pores and uncontrollable shine, Dr. Brandt has some great products to help control those oilies. Even in the winter, your skin may feel really dry one minute but then very oily in a couple of hours. Dr. Brandt had a Best Skin Ever kit that came out a few months ago. Unfortunately I don't see this sold at Sephora anymore, but it is available on their website here.

What's also great about this kit is that you can sample several of Dr. Brandt's best-selling skincare products without a major commitment. To get the full scoop..

- 3.5 oz pores no more® cleanser Great lathering cleanser for oily skin! Contains Salicylic Acid, Tea Tree Oil, and Willow Bark, and wasn't harsh on my skin at all. - 0.17 oz collagen booster® Contains ingredients to stimulate natural collagen on your skin. I found the sample to be too small and I quickly used this before I saw much of a difference. - 0.4 oz pores no more® vacuum cleaner® This blue product was like a mini nose mask. Def. have to use this consistently to get results..otherwise the blackheads came back :( - 0.4 oz pores no more® anti-aging mattifying lotion This lotion was a lifesaver- used it to control my t-zone and it also has retinol to improve my skin. Score! - 0.068 oz pores no more® pore refiner sample packet (Read my full review on the Pore Refiner here)

Overall, great kit to purchase for people with oily skin, because I have definitely seen an improvement since using this. Controlled oilies means less breakouts for me! :) I do have to say that I wish this kit contained a moisturizer sample, because you really can't achieve your best skin with a moisturizer!

Review: Dr. Brandt pores no more® Pore Refiner

"Blessed" with unsightly blackheads and large pores that ooze oil on your nose? Not a pretty picture, I tell ya. Let me introduce you to Dr. Brandt's pores no more Pore Refiner, aka. a mattifying life-saver for your nose! I have been using this for two weeks now- every morning after my daily facial cleanse. I dab just a bit on my nose and T-zone area and it's like magic! (if you believe in that sort of thing)

It is flesh tone colored with tiny shimmers so although it may seem like it is reflecting shine on your face, it's actually brightening it. It's formulated to smooth your skin and leave a matte finish. I am amazed by the results- significantly less shine so I don't have use all those blotters all the time. When I'm still feeling a bit shiny by mid-afternoon, I use this for quick touch-ups.

The Dr. Brandt Pore Refiner is one of the best mattifying lotion I have used. It's also a great primer before you put on your foundation/face makeup. If you've got oily/combination skin, you should give this a try and see how it works!
