CVS Dual-Sided Facial Cleansing Pads
Tuesday, March 6th, 2012
It’s always neat when a store brand comes out with something great. We are big fans of cleansing cloths here, our favorite being Neutrogena Makeup Remover Cleansing Towelettes. They save your washcloths/electronic cleanser from your makeup and come in handy when you don’t have the energy to wash your face at night. However, if you are reluctant to buy more than one cleanser for your face, we recommend CVS’s Dual-Sided Facial Cleansing Pads. These are made to work in conjunction with whatever facial cleanser you choose. We really liked using it with Burt’s Bees Sensitive Cleanser – since it’s so gentle you need to buy separate product if you want to exfoliate. However with the CVS cleansing pads you don’t have to. Admittedly, it’s more affordable to buy the cleansing pads than cleansing towelettes; they are only $3.29 on the CVS website for 45 pads. We loved the texture of our skin after using the pads and felt like we got a better clean than the old-fashioned way. This is especially useful for those who have combination skin; you can use the textured size to get rid of dry skin spots without exfoliating your whole face.

Burt’s Bees Sensitive Facial Cleanser
Friday, February 24th, 2012
The best thing you can do for sensitive skin is keep its barrier intact. Unfortunately, sometimes this gets damaged with all of the chemical and manual exfoliators on the market. So even if you don’t have sensitive skin naturally, you may have inflamed skin if you’re using harsh cleansers or moisturizers with acids too often. We tried Burt’s Bees Sensitive Skin Facial Cleanser and were very pleased with the results. In only one week we saw a transformation in our skin – less redness and irritation, and a lot less dryness. Since this is a very gentle cleanser, you may want to take off your makeup first with makeup removing towelettes such as Neutrogena’s. We must warn that at first this product may feel like your skin has a film on it, and that may be because you’re accustomed to your skin being stripped of its natural moisture. Try it out for at least a week to see results. We recommend this for not only people with sensitive skin, but for those who have used harsh products and want to give their skin a break. If you have acne, we recommend alternating using this cleanser and your regular acne cleanser until you get the right balance. For instance, try using Sensitive Skin Facial Cleanser in the morning and your acne wash at night. Burt’s Bees Sensitive Facial Cleanser is not only 99% natural, it is also fragrance free and hypo-allergenic.

Neutrogena Wave Power Cleanser
Friday, December 4th, 2009
It sounded improbable that a vibrating machine would make a revolutionary change in facial cleansing, but after trying Neutrogena Wave Power Cleanser it was amazing to see that this really works! We have no idea why the vibrating motion makes such a big difference, but the Wave really CLEANED our skin better than anything we’ve ever used. There wasn’t a trace of makeup, oil, or dirt left, making us wonder if it was still necessary to use toner.
The Wave also removes layers of dead skin. So whatever moisturizer you use afterward will work more effectively since it will go straight to live skin cells. This is also a great alternative to Neutrogena’s Healthy Skin Rejuvenator Kit if your skin’s way too sensitive for microdermabrasion.
What’s convenient about the Wave is that you can also use it in the shower because it’s waterproof. This product is gentle enough for everyday use, but if you’re skin is sensitive to salicylic acid you may want to use the Wave every other day instead
