Navy Life Take Two: RE9 end of month review.

I had some serious homework this past month, as my term is coming to an end and I haven't committed to the weekly review as mentioned. However, I have been religiously using Arbonne's RE9 every morning and night for the last month, and have noticed very obvious overall skin improvement. My skin has a more even texture, it feels smooth to the touch, freckles are going away and my pores are not as noticeable. The down-side however is that I have consistently been breaking out, and it never stopped. So I switched up Arbonne products for a more custom formula and my skin is clear and good-to-go. If you read below you will see a complete skin care system that involves face wash, toner, skin serum for day, a day moisturizer with SPF, a night moisturizer, a neck cream, eye cream, and a skin brightening serum used at night. My skin is oily and prone to break-out. The day moisturizer I had to stop using right-away as my skin was very oily with use of this product. I wouldn't consider it an oily moisturizer for most skin types, it actually absorbs nicely, it's just too oily for me. The night cream is a great product, but I can't use it every night either. I use it as needed. Sometimes your skin just gets a little dry and needs some moisturizer and so I use it then. The day serum is a very pore tightening product and so I can use that anytime I want. The neck cream was one of my favorite products. I enjoyed the citrus smell and the rich texture the thin, delicate skin the chest, and neck, needs. I had no real issue with the face wash one way or the other, but I knew from experience that I needed a face wash that has clay based ingredients in it, to help with oily skin. I also have a thicker top layer of skin that's less delicate as many oily faced people do, and so I need a manual scrub ( or a scrub with texture.) I also need an oil drying mask to help with break-outs. So my new and improved skin care routine is more involved than I just mentioned but here I go...

Step 1. FACE WASH

Arbonne's FC5 Purifying and toning face wash. This face wash is for normal to oily skin and is great for giving a deep down clean.

Step 2. TONER

Arbonne's Clear Advantage Toner. This a toner designed for skin with acne, I also think it works good for oily skin too. It has the extra salicylic Acid to really clean out the skin. I only like to get specific Acne medication through the toner and that it, or it's to drying for me.

Step #3. SERUM:

Arnonne's Intensive Renewal Serum. It's great for reducing pores, fine lines and helping with texture. It has an alpha hydroxy acid, and should be used in conjunction with a SPF.

Step #4 MOISTURIZER:

Arbonne's FC5 Oil-absorbing day moisturizer.

Step #5 EYE CREAM

Arbonne's RE9 Corrective Eye Cream.

Now it's bed time so my routine is the same as above except instead of the Intensive Renewal Serum I use Arbonne's Revelage Serum:

After toner listed above I use this serum to help with sun spots and freckles.

Then I move to a night time moisturizer that's a little richer, but it's not oily:

After the Night Repair I use RE9's neck cream:

This is so great at getting rid of fine lines and freckling on the chest and neck.

I use the above mentioned RE9 Eye cream.

Lastly as needed I use Arbonne's New Cell scrub, a chemical face mask to help with skin cell renewal turn-over, and a oil absorbing face mask for keeping my skin clear.
