Last week I mentioned in this post that I purchased some Michael Todd True Organics products. I was out of all my skincare products and decided to give this line a go. Michael Todd's products are all organic and have tons of reviews online and on YouTube. I have previously tried this night treatment from them, so I figured it can't hurt to try out the whole line. I picked up the oily skin set along with a daily Moisturizer. I figured I would split this up between my day and night time routine with these products so keep reading if you want to hear more about these products. As usual everything is linked!
Day Time
Organic Lemon Toner- This toner is made with citrus like lemon and orange along with cranberries, the formula promises to tighten pores, clear skin and reduce dark spots. It contains AHA and DMAE to reduce fine lines and wrinkles. This toner smells so fresh and clean, I use this morning and night after cleansing my face. Not so harsh that my skin feels dried out (that's because there is no alcohol in it) it really just leaves my skin feeling perfectly balanced.
Moisture Lite Non Oily Lotion - This is the one product that didn't come with the Oily/Acne skin care kit. I needed a daily moisturizer and I was looking for something that was light enough to not leave my skin feeling heavy while still keeping my skin moisturized during the day. This has been the perfect addition to the other products I have been using. I only use this in the morning after washing and toning, the formula soaks into the skin nicely and makes my skin perfectly prepped for my foundation.
Night Time - I wash my face with the Charcoal Detox cleanser then use the Organic Lemon Toner just like my morning routine.
JoJoba Charcoal Facial Scrub - Not my favorite facial scrub but is still a great option especially if you are looking for an organic option. I think I just prefer a more intense scrub like philosophy's microdelivery exfoliating wash ( I mentioned it last here). I use this about once or twice a week to help get rid of dirt and skin cells that clog pores.
Kaolin Clay Detoxifying Facial Mask - This mask is seriously my new best friend. it's meant to tighten pores and deep clean the pores of dirt and bacteria. I will have to warn that this mask is not meant for sensitive skin. When you put this on and it starts to dry your face will tingle and sort of feel like its heating up. I personally love that about this because I feel like it is really doing its job. I like to use this after I use the facial scrub to get the best results. After washing this mask off my skin is left feeling so soft and clean.
Antioxidant Carrot Serum - This product is formulated to help control those with acne prone skin. Over the years I would always look for benzoyl peroxide products to try and dry up my acne but really I was destroying my skin by drying it out so much it started to become oilier. This serum uses natural ingredients like licorice extract to treat acne. I have noticed such a difference in my skin tone since using this product. I use this every night after washing and toning my face. If I do a mask or scrub this one goes on after those. In the last month I have seen my acne clear up and skin tone improved. I will definitely be keeping this one in my routine.
