paula's choice

Once in awhile I think I will do these posts on things I buy regularly only because I know a good recommendation is always appreciated!

I hate to bring up this particular part of my past, but I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one who struggled with acne well beyond my teenage years.  My dear mother tried so hard to help me; knowing the blemishes really put an damper on my self-esteem.  I made countless visits to the dermatologist, tried every single thing on the market and never really experienced truly clear skin until I tried Paula's Choice. I discovered her products on a very cool website called makeupalley.  The reviews were so overwhelming I had to give it a try.  

I've tried some of the makeup, not very impressed.  It's the skincare that I have fallen in love with.  I use all of these products regularly and I would consider the first few as essential.

Here's the thing and I need to say it... the beauty of this product line is the ability to customize to meet your skincare needs.  Read the descriptions and experiment, you can return items if they don't work for you.  Enjoy and let me know how it goes!
