Review: Jurlique Sensitive Skin Care

This article was originally posted at http://aichakubeautification.blogspot.com. If you see it anywhere else without credit, the content is stolen without permission.

My skin was acting up with all sorts of blotches, rashes, pimples and bumps in the past few months. It felt tight and dry, yet oily at the same time. I thought I should return to one of the basic skincare staples that got my skin in order in the past.

Here's what I used to get things back to their normal state: Jurlique's Chamomile Soothing Mist, Soothing Herbal Recovery Gel, and Herbal Recovery Eye Gel. Coincidentally, I purchased these items at the right time. There's a 50% discount on the price of Soothing Herbal Recovery Gel now, with a purchase of one full-priced item.




It has proven to be the trusty rescue for me once again. My skin is getting back its natural balance and while I have a few scars left to clear up, I'm on the way to recovery.

Jurlique is an Australian brand and in the past, when I used to be in Australia a lot, I found Jurlique to be, for me, the best skincare that can be purchased there. I know the brand doesn't get plenty of raves on review sites like Makeup Alley. In fact, some people complain it's overpriced and that the products do nothing for them.

Skincare Woes Never End in the Eternal Search for "Perfection"

This article was originally posted at http://aichakubeautification.blogspot.com. If you see it anywhere else without credit, the content is stolen without permission.

Just when I thought my skin was behaving well and I finally got my skincare down to a nice routine, my skin made a sudden turn and is wrecking my peace of mind! It's getting very oily but dehydrated, and my dark circles are worse.

I'm not sure what is the cause of this change. It could be stress, it could be me consuming too much sugar and caffeine due to stress, or it could be hormones (though I'm too young yet for menopause).

Whatever it may be, now I have half finished bottles of skincare that are doing nada for me. I need to go pick up some new stuff and have another round of trial and error.

How annoying, isn't it?

What about you? Do you experience this? How do you solve or deal with it?

Maybe I should learn to just buy small bottles of everything. It would end up being more economical in the long run, wouldn't it?
