Skincare RX 21%discount code & Weird textured cleansers

 I've recently used two different cleansers that had textures that were WILDLY different from the normal cleanser that I've come to expect. One was no problemo, and one SUCKED. Which was which? Well the one that was completely Bizarro Land but actually is awesome is Jurlique Daily Exfoliating Cream. You squeeze it out of this metal toothpaste like tube and this nasty, stinky GUNK comes out. Seriously not a pleasant smell- those wackjobs that review it and act like they like the scent have questionable olfactory tastes at best. But we ain't using this to smell purdy, are we? No, we are using it to LOOK purdy, and on that it does a smashing, bang up job! I recommend using it in the shower since it's a weeeee bit messy. Or a lot messy. Take your pick. So once you squeeze this creepy gook out into your hands, you get it wet and work it into a sort of paste that you you then put on your gob. They say to "press and release" it into the skin, but I just do a very light rub. Lo and behold, you have just gotten rid of every bit of nastiness on your skin and you now have the kisser of an angel. It's so insanely gentle that you don't even realize that you're using a scrub - this would work for the most sensitive delicate flower.

The Ingredients:
  • Almonds, Oats and Oatbran gently exfoliate and cleanse the skin.
  • Sesame Seed Oil, Macadamia Oil, Wheat Bran Extract and Honey work together to moisturize, rebalance dryness and prevent moisture loss.
  • Green Tea, Grapeseed and Turmeric help protect the skin against damaging oxidants.

Then we come to the dud. I have raved about products from BeFine Food Skincare line over and over again, so my deep disappointment here was particularly resonant.
Yeah, it's gentle, because it's apparently just water! Seriously, when I opened it up and went to put some into my hand, it literally poured out like water. So upon my first attempt to use the stuff, half of it went flying down the sink. Greeeat. It's a real shame too, because the ingredient list reads like a dream and what little bit I could get to attach to my face had a wonderful crisp minty sensation. It was so watery though that I had to splash it onto my face- not a very effecient method of facial cleansing. So yeah, over half of it was wasted- I can't imagine that was the intention! I did contact the company to see if perhaps what I got was expired or something but I haven't heard back from them yet. I'll let ya know if I do, but in the meantime I cannot recommend peppermint water to you :-)

What would I recommend instead? June Jacobs Pore purifying Facial Bath is boffo.

What is it: Paraben and preservative free, this purifying cleanser offers deep pore-cleansing action with a natural antiseptic, tea tree oil, to rid the skin of surface impurities, absorb oil, and slough off dead skin cells. Who is it for: Sensitive, dry, and normal skin types. Why is it different: Nutrient-rich algae extract acts as a humectant, retaining the moisture level of the skin. A powerful antioxidant blend of white, red, and green tea extracts, combined with goji berry, pomegranate, and grape seed extracts, help to fight free radical attack and leave the skin clean, radiant, and revitalized. How do I use it: Apply a small amount of cleanser onto dampened skin. Gently massage onto skin with a circular motion. Rinse skin thoroughly with water and pat dry. Follow with toner, serum, eye cream, moisturizer, and sunscreen. From June Jacobs Spa Collection.

If you go to look at the reviews on QVC, EVERY LAST ONE is a 5 star review. Seriously! You will see a difference in your skin immediately, it cleans your skin deep down, getting all kinds of gunk. The toner test didn't pick up one speck of anything left on my skin after using this. It makes your pores smaller and gets all the oils but doesn't leave your skin tight and dry. It's super rich and creamy and a little goes a long way. This stuff will last you an eon! It has a lovely mild smell that makes you feel like you're getting some high end spa treatment. Love it!
