Like (almost) every female today, I am in a constant tug-of-war with my skin. If you have been living under a rock, or some gorilla utopia in the middle of a jungle somewhere south of the Bermuda Triangle.....females have an innate ability to find many imperfections in ourselves, skin is definitely at the top of the list for many, it is for me anyways. And while I am very fluent in the art of self-imperfection locating, I don't typically share this with anyone who doesn't go by the name of Mom. But, for the sake of this blog, what the heck!
Clinique, we've had an on-again, off-again relationship for many years, mostly because well, Clinique is too dang expensive!! But after a recent accosting by my own skin this summer/early fall, probably due to my own ignorance of effective care, I have decided I need to just bite the financial bullet and buy the stuff, because let's be honest people, it works. Just a side note for equally ignorant people as myself, don't use face wash with micro-beads if you have acne, it will NOT scrub them away...lol...smh...it actually makes it worse, like a lot worse AND (the reason for this blog) causes scarring.
So, back to Clinique, their 3-step skin care system kicks butt, especially the acne version! Seriously, I've noticed dramatic results. And seeing the blemishes gradually disappearing is only shadowed by the revealing of the scars left behind. It was like a light-bulb just clicked on...on my face! My "problem areas" aren't really problem areas, but instead problem areas that used to be problem areas...understand? Areas, that once were blemishy, but not really anymore, but have been permanently damaged from it...ugh!
So, I've seen commercials about Clinique's Even Better Dark Spot Corrector, supposedly it will lighten spots on your face (from various causes) in 12 weeks equal to that of a prescription version (with visual results in 4 weeks). I thought about buying it, but the $50 price tag convinced me otherwise! But, after a call with my mom, who didn't know I was mulling it over, suggested a similar product for the same reason and I was like: Confirmation!
Today, after ensuring the serum won't erase my freckles, I bought a bottle (and some of their sunscreen, which they claim is a vital step! Hmf, we'll see.) Hopefully, the next blog concerning skin will begin with "Hi my name is Veronica, and I've been clean for 12 months!)
