My skin has always been an issue for me, so finding the right products is an essential. I find that when I feel comfortable in my skin, there is nothing that will stop me. My skin has always been tough. I’ve never had that perfect skin, I breakout, it’s combination, and I always seem to have clogged pores. Most recently after the miscarriage I’ve had a huge hormonal shift and now I have no clue what is going on with my skin. In the past few months my chin and neck have decided to go full teenage mode, they say it’s all hormonal. So yeah, well into my 30’s (pushing on 40) and I am back to those terrible teenage breakouts. At first I felt defeated and tried to hide it but now I have been diligent with my routine. Between facials, being excellent at washing my face morning and night, it is slowly getting better. My breakouts aren’t completely gone but they’re more manageable. I still have to wait for my hormones to balance and hoping this isn’t my forever but if it is, I will deal. So now I take the steps that I can and do what I know works for my skin.
Fresh Face
I’ve been using Olay for a year and have been impressed by the results, even when dealing with my hormonal breakouts. I love the Olay Sensitive Calming Liquid Cleanser and always follow is up with my Olay Mist (my favorite is the Calming one). Also, a tip, I love to have one in my purse when my skin just needs a little refresh during the day. I then moisturize with the amazing Olay Regenerist Whip Face Moisturizer Fragrance Free! I love the way it instantly absorbs into my skin and preps it for the day. It contains Amino-Peptide Complex II, which smooths my fine lines and wrinkles. Ever since I got my hands on this Red Jar I have been hooked. The Regenerist Whip has the best texture and immediately leaves your skin feeling smooth and moisturized. I always be sure to use it on my chest and neck and the top of my hands! It never leaves an oily residue and my skin feels refreshed the whole day through. I have combination skin and as I am aging, I see my skin shift so finding a product that works for my skin is key. It doesn’t cause breakouts, we’ll leave that to my hormones! It is no wonder that Regenerist Whip is a Best of Beauty winner! Check it out and I know you will be hooked!
So, though my skin is nowhere near that flawless look, it is my skin. I accept and appreciate it and will continue to care and nourish it. I am who I am, and it may not be perfect but what is perfect anyway? My laugh lines, my wrinkles, are mine and though I may try to slow them down, I am proud of the woman, mom, wife, friend, and daughter that I am. I am fearless, I can face anything, especially with my Olay Red Jar! It has taken me years to be comfortable in my skin and NOW I can honestly say I am more grounded and centered than ever, I am ME and I love myself, from hormonal breakouts to now beautiful skin and all.
PS. I love that my kids see the REAL ME most and that is the mommy they know best! No makeup, hair in a pony (because apparently Hutton hates my hair down) because that is who they see most, they see ME!
