HOW I’M KEEPING MY SKIN YOUNG + HEALTHY

This year I was determined to start and stick with a good skincare routine. In the past I have tried out a lot of different skincare products but couldn’t ever get into the habit of keeping my skin healthy on the daily. I had heard great things about the Obagi Nu Derm System and after researching the products it seemed to be just what I was looking for. I knew that I wanted a product that would transform my skin by brightening, hydrating and repairing the signs of aging. Obagi Nu Derm was all of these things in one system.

My morning routine can feel rushed sometimes so I knew that I wanted something that would be easy. The best part about the Nu Derm System was that each bottle is labeled by number in order of how to use each product so you don’t even have to think about it when you are ready to apply the products in the mornings. With so many products on the market now and reading about so many different skin care lines I knew that I wanted to add the  to help fight premature signs of aging, fine lines and wrinkles.

I’m currently about 2 months into the products and have seen amazing results. For the first few weeks my skin was in shock mode, I did have a few breakouts at the beginning (which is pretty common) because my skin was getting rid of all of the bacteria and sun damage that happened over the years.  After a few weeks I noticed that my coloring started to change, my skin was brighter and the redness that was there in the mornings was now completely gone. I feel like for the first time in my life I am finally committed to a routine that I truly love because it is easy to keep up with and I can already see a huge difference in my skin transformation. The system takes months, so I can’t wait to see more results as I continue to use the products. So far, all of my sun spots and discoloration have disappeared in this short amount of time.

I can’t pick a favorite product because they all work together as a system but I will admit that the first time I used the Foaming Gel I was completely in love. It lathers so well with just a tiny drop and removed every bit of my makeup! It was the first time in a long time my face felt completely cleansed. The next step is the toner, a little bit goes a long way. I use these cotton pads to rub it on because they don’t soak up as much of the toner as a cotton ball would. My skin always feels refreshed and hydrated after using the toner. Steps 3 and 4 consist of the Clear (which is a skin bleaching and corrector cream) and Exfoderm (which is a skin smoothing lotion). These products are both light and easy always leaving my skin feeling very smooth. For the PM I will add in a few more steps including the Blender and . I have finally started using this every night and can’t explain how much I love it. Tretinoin is a topical form of vitamin A that helps the skin renew itself. Its used to help reduce the appearance of fine wrinkles and skin discoloration. Like I’ve said before, I’m not getting any younger so why not treat yo’ self and invest in a fabulous skin care routine.
I have been using the routine for my skin type which is normal to oily. Obagi offers a variety of skin care routines for every skin type, so there is something for everyone! These products are only available through physicians, medical spas and skin care professionals making them trustworthy products that are recommend by professionals.
