Hi Loves,
I heard several horror stories about their skin burning and irritated after they used a certain rejuvenating brand, or their skin worsen after using it for several months but in this video, I am not just going to share with you an update about my skincare journey with Dr. Love but I'm also going to give you my top 5 learnings in using Rejuvenating Set- who knows, it may help you improve your skin more.
Here's the update:
- I have been using this brand for over 2 months and I must say- my skin definitely changed. My skin became lighter and my pimple marks lighten over time.
- Although I'm still experiencing breakouts every now and then, I'm so glad that whenever I do spot treatment, the pimples are dried after 2 to 3 days.
- My skin is lightening and I'm not experiencing any stingy or uncomfortable feeling which was a great thing. I think that the cold sensation I felt in the first month was because of too many dead skin cells; as the rejuvenating set has already been treated so there's no stingy feeling at all.
You can see my entire experience here:
5 Things I Learned in Using Rejuvenating Set
Purging is a part of the process
Purging or breakout is a reaction from the skin. As we all know, we are using chemical peeling and one of the processes is breaking out- it means that the product is working. When I experienced it, I freaked out but I'm very happy that Dr. Love's team helped me through the process and told me "It's alright." and let me continue using the product until the purging was gone.
Peeling is my 100% enemy
I really hate this process and worse, it was the longest one but it's just because the dead skin cells are starting to shed off. It's a part of the process.
So what to do when this happens?
If you feel stingy on the skin, you can stop using the toner for 1 week until the pain subsides and just continue using the cream. Reapply the sunblock cream often to ensure your skin is protected under the harmful rays of the sun.
What I did was add some water-based moisturizer and serum to ease the peeling.
If you don't have so many pimples, do a spot treatment
Spot treatment is just focusing on your pimples. It definitely worked for me- I just place the toner on a q tip or cotton and place it on the affected area- nothing more. After a few days, my pimples dry faster and it lessens the peeling.
Do not directly apply the soap on your face, lather it on your hands before washing your face
In the first week, I rubbed the soap on my face and the peeling was crazy most especially on the nose area. So when tried the lathering technique, the peeling was controllable either way, Dr. Love Soap was very mild and can be used in the body, so use the product gently.
Consistency is the key to success
Some rejuvenating sets may give instant effect in a week but this depends on how harsh the chemical contains in the product but there are instances that the pimples may break out right away.
But with Dr. Love, as I have mentioned the product was very mild and even if you don't use the product for quite some time (just like what happened to me because I'm busy AF) the break out didn't occur again.
