I started using the Jurlique Herbal Recovery Gel a week or so ago again in my attempt to bring my skin back to normal. Long story short, lots of travel recently, poor diet, lack of sleep, general tiredness (too tired to mask my face - never thought I'd say that! ) has meant that my skin that usually draws compliments has been looking rather sluggish and rough.
I started using MDF Illuminating Serum a few days ago but saw a bottle of Jan Marini Bio-Glycolic Bioclear lotion on my bathroom shelf and decided to use that last night instead for some reason. I have reviewed this before and found it to be a good product. It just so happened that the pump got blocked somehow and after pumping it furiously I ended up with way too much product. Not wanting to waste it, I decided to see what happens if I applied it all anyway. I ended up with a rather sticky face but after a few minutes it got to an "aceptable" level (though still icky). At this stage, and you must remember I'm sleep deprived right now , I thought "well, now I'll dry out my skin so I have to put something over the top too". I took a larger than usual quantity of Jurlique Herbal Recovery Gel and applied that and then went to sleep.
I wake up this morning and I look up into the bathroom mirror as I'm about to brush my teeth, and I freeze... I'm standing there, looking at my skin, which at this stage is looking *so* much better that I just can't believe it. Even tone (not the usual "morning look" I'm used to recently), a healthy glow to the skin and bumps that are much less prominent. Seriously, I stood there for a while just staring at the results trying to figure out how this is possible. I also got lots of compliments at work today about looking rested and relaxed.
I can't really explain whether it was the extra quantity of the Jan Marini, or combination Jan Marini with Jurlique, or both, but I am about to do the same thing tonight before I head for bed. I have used both of these products separately before and I know that they do work well for me but I have not ever before seen a result this quickly with them.
What do you think this could be attributed to? After all, I only had just over 5 hours of sleep last night so not all that long for a product to work that dramatically. I've also been exfoliating on a regular basis (but with a non-AHA product) so it's not a sudden shedding of dead skin cells etc
Either way, I'm this! I don't want to overdo it but I'll repeat this for the next few nights and see what happens. |
