So, I came across this cleanser when I was looking for something cheap while traveling.
The label looks great, the ads look awesome, and it was like about $4. In the commercial, a beautifully clear skinned model is using this cleanser and talks about how it has an amazing tingle and continues to work all day long to fight breakouts. Great, right?!
So the first thing I notice when I get home and try it out is that it really does tingle. It actually feels great on my face. It's really creamy and makes my skin feel really clean. I throw a little moisturizer on, and off to bed. When I woke up I had a whole new batch of pimples! I was so confused! Well, I don't like to judge by one use, since it could have been a number of things causing my breakout. I continued to use this cleanser for 7 days, and it was the WORST THING EVER! My skin was red all the time and had several different breakouts. I couldn't WAIT to throw this stuff in the trash!
This fiasco got me thinking about the marketing of some of these products. First, why does a girl with ZERO pimples advertise a product like this? I want to see a girl with zits just like me using this product, and I wanna see results! Also, the girls are covered in makeup while washing their face. Really? That's not realistic. I decided for my next cleanser post, I'm going to post pictures of me actually using the product. Flaws and all. Be proud of your flaws, because it makes you real. Being real is what makes you beautiful.
I'm so thankful everyday that I log on to see how many views I am getting. I am glad that I can help people through the blog. I'm having so much fun posting, so keep the comments coming!
xoxo
