Often skin care products that you relied on in less severe weather fall short of what you need now to adequately hydrate while still combating those fine lines and wrinkles. Therefore, the only alternative is to adjust your skin care treatments. A great place to start is with the Reviva Labs products.
For a month now, I have been experimenting with seven skin care products that I thought would be best for tackling that increased dryness and also anti-aging concerns. The items I chose were the #201 Organic Day Cream with Alpha Lipoic Acid, #214 Vitamin E Oil Stick, #381 5% Glycolic Acid Night/Day Cream, #307 High Potency Collagen Serum, #306 Nourishing Cream, #369 Hyaluronic Acid Serum, and #570 Moisture Bar with Goat's Milk.
I followed two different rotations of this Reviva Labs regime so I could get the most help for keeping my skin youthful as well as moisturized without irritating already delicate skin. Let me tell you my routine and the products I used because they were fabulous choices for how beautiful my complexion looks these days.
Mornings and evenings meant cleansing with #570 Moisture with Goat's Milk Bar. This gentle, sweet-smelling soap lathers exceptionally well as it baby's your skin with softness and comforting moisture as you wash. Using this heavenly soap may just tempt you into skipping a moisturizer with how fabulous your face feels afterwards. No joke, readers, this is the best soap ever--and it sells for $4.00!
Next I followed with #307 High Potency Collagen Serum first in the morning for the first rotation of these products. I started using this product under my current moisturizer, but it felt too heavy. Then, I switched to trying the serum alone and it didn't leave me with a slick shine. This was a fast-absorbing serum that left me comfortable without weighing my skin down.
Nights in the first rotation went this way. I used the 5% Glycolic Acid Night/Day Cream #381 after cleansing and then I went back to the #307 High Potency Collagen Serum and applied over that cream. This was advised to help cut down on possible irritation. Since I do have fairly sensitive skin, I thought it was my best option.
Regardless of my routine, I always made sure to use #214 Vitamin E Oil Stick to lubricate the eye area and help my lips both days and nights. Sometimes, I even applied after meals to keep my lips extra smooth.
However, I alternated products. I switched back and forth daily, one day the first regime and the following one, the second.
After cleansing, I dabbed on some of the #201 Organic Day Cream with Alpha Lipoic Acid to start the second regime. Alpha Lipoic Acid is an antioxidant that your own body makes to get rid of cell damaging free radicals. This formula takes that acid and another antioxidant of a complex of green tea in combination with vitamins and oils in this hard-working cream to nourish and repair.
Nights on those days meant using #306 Nourishing Cream. This formula was originally intended for those with thin, papery skin due to age or illness. Though I don't know how to determine how thick my skin is, I thought those beneficial ingredients could possibly do the trick to solve my own dilemma.
With how dry my skin had become, I decided to use the #369 Hyaluronic Acid Serum before that application of Nourishing Cream to help plump and restore the health of my skin even further. This serum was the miracle that locked in lasting moisture because once I woke there was a dewiness to my complexion that had a new life.
After four weeks, I can tell you that those Reviva Labs products were my cures for healing dry winter skin. You may not notice a huge difference over night, but I can promise you that you will see great improvements if dry, aging skin is what you suffer from as well. My dry patches are now gone. The texture is smoother, the pores are more refined, and even my fine lines and wrinkles look better.
The more products that I discover from Reviva Labs, the more impressed and happy I am with my new skin care finds. Do it and discover their wonders because beautiful skin doesn't have to cost you a fortune anymore!
