Meet: The Arsenal!

Meet the arsenal :

Caring for my skin has been a complete roller-coaster.  I began noticing hormonal acne when I was 13 and began to use strong Clearasil, benzoyl peroxide type products which did a pretty good job at the time.  When I was 17 I began on hormone medication which vastly took care of all of my skin concerns until I was 23 and my body began rejecting the hormones. Ugh, of course.  For the past two years I have had horrific acne and overwhelming oily skin.  As an adult now experiencing the worst acne of my life, I feel ridiculous trying to deal with this when everyone else I know had this all figured out a decade ago!   I attempted the strong acne fighting products which worked wonders as a teen, until I soon discovered a severe allergy to these products which actually could be deadly if used in excess.   My solution; all natural products composed of mostly non-traditional acne medications.  Of course, the expensive stuff!

I use at least four of the products I have pictured above everyday; and that's on a good-skin day.  I wash with the Pumpkin Cleanser after opening my pores in a warm shower, then apply the Raspberry Toner with a cotton pad.  After this dries I pamper my skin with the Aloe Moisturizer.  I usually let this sit for about five minutes and apply the Oil Blocking Primer.  These four products combined cost easily over $100.  It all is absolutely splurge worthy because after I apply these products in the morning I already feel confident and beautiful even before I apply any makeup.
