Getting clear, acne-free skin has been a struggle for me since my teenage years. Now at 24 I still deal with breakouts more often than I'd like to admit. I have super sensitive skin and many foundations or tinted moisturizers would make me break out.
Recently I decided to give Mario Badescu a shot and I am completely thrilled at the results.
The enzyme cleansing gel is so soft and smells so fresh. It doesn't foam or bubble up like most washes, and I feel that it gives me a really deep clean because of that. It is great for taking off my makeup and getting my skin to feel very soft and clean.
The seaweed cleansing lotion is actually a toner that I use after I cleanse my skin. I have exfoliating cotton pads that I squeeze the liquid onto, and swipe over my skin, focusing on areas that I get dry or where my skin is combination/oily. It will really get down deep into my pores and leave my skin feeling clean as ever.
Twice a week I use the super collagen mask. This mask has been doing wonders for my skin's texture. It gets SUPER tight when it is drying, but afterwards I noticeably see a difference in my skin tone and texture, and any blemishes I might have had are greatly diminished. It really clears out my pores and allows my skin to breathe.
The drying mask is awesome when a blemish pops up and I need it to leave. I sometimes suffer from cystic acne, which is those annoying painful zits that no one ever wants but we all occasionally suffer from. Just dab a bit of this mask on the blemish, and allow it to sit overnight, and I wake up to a pain-free face and a hardly noticeable pimple. THIS FORMULA IS A LIFESAVER!
Moisturizing your skin is the most important thing you can do. I get so angry when I hear girls say they don't use moisturizer before they put on foundation, or AT ALL! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! This is the single most effective way to prevent wrinkles and aging skin. This oil free moisturizer is amazing and includes an SPF 17 (random number) which is great for me because I don't like to be in the sun too often. It is actually a great base for my foundations or just for moisture on its own at night.
Ladies, PLEASE take care of your skin. You only have 1 chance to get it right. You don't want to be 50 years old looking like an 80 year old because you soaked up ever minute of sun you could and "forgot" to put on moisturizer. Thank god my mother has worked in cosmetics my entire life. She is 54 years old and has the most BEAUTIFUL skin, because she made sure to take care of it at an early age and be mindful throughout the years to keep a strict skincare regiment.

Also, make sure you ALWAYS take off your makeup at night and be sure to also moisturize your neck and décolletage.
