Hi Lovelies! I have a confession to make today. My skin is not perfect. *sigh* I know I've talked about how I don't really need foundation and I only have random blemishes, blah blah. That's all true! However, on my arms I have a skin disorder known as Keratosis Pilaris. Sounds fancy right?? Basically, it just looks like I always have goosebumps on my arms (especially my upper arms). It's nothing dangerous; doesn't hurt; isn't contagious. It's really just annoying that it makes my arms look so rough. (literally, they just look bumpy and rough.)
I've had it for as long as I can remember and figured it was just something I'd have to deal with my whole life. Then last year, I was doing some research online and found a product at Walgreens (ActiFade Skinbumps :KP Cream and Scrub Kit) that promised to "smooth and prevent skin bumps." It was like a miracle! My arms were softer than they had been for longer than I could recall!
Well, when I got my Beauty Army Kit last week, I started to wonder if one of the products in that would work on my arms...
"CellCeuticals NeoCell Micro-Resurfacing Skin Treatment enlists the help
of natural enzymes and volcanic micro-minerals to exfoliate without
causing irritation. Enzymes gently eliminate dead skin cells as the
volcanic micro-minerals buff away damage, smoothing skin texture and
revealing a brighter complexion. Bisabolol and allantoin aid in soothing
the skin, leaving it comfortable and calm."
It suggests to use it on the face, but I was honestly afraid it may be a bit too brash for my face; and I thought hmm, perhaps it would work on my arms??
In the shower, I squirted out about a dime size amount and rubbed it into my wet skin. I followed the directions and massaged in for about 2 minutes; then did the other arm; and rinsed with lukewarm water. I noticed results almost immediately!
This stuff is amazing!! I've only used it once so far, and I can already tell a difference! My arms are softer! Less bumpy! And there is no irritation or any redness at all!
I'm super excited I got this sample in my Beauty Army Kit!! Can't wait to see what I get next month!! (and don't worry, there will still be more reviews on stuff from this month's!!:)
