Philosophy - The Oxygen Peel



The Oxygen Peel is a product I’ve discovered and fallen in love with several times. It’s a really fantastic exfoliating mask that simply works. This goes beyond using a scrub. It uses enzymes and oxygen foam to really go at that top layer of your skin. Yet, it’s incredibly gentle. I have sensitive skin and it has no problem with this peel.
There are three steps to the mask. First you put some hot water into the little container that comes in the box. Then you twist open a capsule and add the powder into the hot water. Stir it together with the little spatula and in a bit you have a warm gel. Apply the warm gel with your fingertips all over your face, neck, and if you’re feeling flush décolleté. Then you apply the white cream from a separate jar on top of the gel and rub it in. Suddenly the gel and the cream will react to each other a bloom into a shaving cream consistency. Leave that on for about a minute and then take that spatula and scrape off the blooming cream like you’re shaving your face. There is a sharp edge and a smoother edge to the spatula. Depending on how much you want to exfoliate, choose the side that works for you. Again, I have fairly sensitive skin and I use the sharper edge. Once you’ve ‘shaved’ the mask off, rinse your skin off with warm water to remove the excess product. Now, take a good look at your skin and feel how smooth and soft it looks and feels. It’s so great.
If you have the discipline to do this on a regular basis; once a month, bi-weekly, weekly; you will be amazed by your skin. Sometimes life gets in the way and you don’t always think, ‘I know, I’ll do my oxygen mask today.’ But I guarantee you it is worth it. Every time I use this mask I ask myself, ‘why don’t I do this every week?’
Don’t let it get away from you though. Those capsules do not have an endless shelf life and you may find you’ve let it go bad. I promise you, it’s worth the effort.

The Controversial Ordinary

Image
So recently I dealt with a difficult loss. I was in pretty bad shape and after a week or so found myself looking at a truly messed up stranger in the mirror. Facebook must have known I needed a distraction because I found myself part of this new group about all things The Ordinary along with another group called FOREVER 35 . Lord did I go down the rabbit hole. These were my people. Just as obsessed with skincare as I normally am. I dare say even worse. The concept of The Ordinary is right up my alley. Individual ingredients sold separately for shockingly low prices. I'm the person who at times has purchased ingredients wholesale in bulk to make my own moisturizer. So this of course intrigued me. Now I want to preface this by saying you really do need to do your research before buying all of The Ordinary products and slapping them on your face. This is pretty potent stuff. One poor soul posted a photo today of a nasty chemical burn on her cheek from putting a high concentrate ...

To Good Genes or not to Good Genes. That is the Question.

Image
There is a lot of buzz out there for the cult favorite GOOD GENES ($105). But Sunday Riley, the brand which makes this cult phenomenon is also cultivating a lot of buzz for bad business practices. I'm not one for supporting a company that fakes reviews. Maybe those fake reviews created the buzz to make GOOD GENES phenomenon; maybe they didn't. But in truth real people do love the product. Because lactic acid is an effective ingredient. Lactic acid, is lactic acid though. There are plenty of other brands that carry a good lactic acid product. For a one to one, meaning basically the same product/function, I actually prefer Tata Harper RESURFACING SERUM ($88). GOOD GENES is good but in my experience RESURFACING SERUM from Tata Harper is better and more effective. I recently discovered Thrive OVERNIGHT SENSATION Brightening Sleep Mask ($62) which combines glycolic and lactic acid and that is working well for me right now. I've happily used Peter Thomas Roth Unwrinkl...

Thrive Causemetics Liquid Lash Extensions Mascara

Image
Never in my life have I been able to wear mascara on my lower lashes. The shape of my eye pretty much ensures a very grave raccoon eye situation. I can't say I experience much angst about this condition. Such is life. I honestly didn't know I cared until I got Thrive Causemetics Liquid Lash Extensions Mascara. So this is one of those Facebook ad stalker situations. I was getting the ad for this mascara constantly until I finally caved and made the purchase. There is a sucker born every minute and when it comes to mascara, I'm a sucker. Of course I had to get past the name. It's forgivable, but the word Causemetics makes me itch and I'm not thrilled about typing it out right now. But this mascara is something. My inferiority complex about my eyelashes is well documented on this blog and yet my willingness to apply fake lashes has been steadily waning. Because I inevitably lose one or two of the few lashes I have during the fake lash, glue removal process and...
