Living in Arizona has its high points (amazing weather most of the time!) and low points (dry, dry skin!). With my wedding just a week away (OMG!), I’ve been working hard to wipe out my breakouts and get my skin on a healthier path. And it hasn’t been easy. Although my skin is oily under the surface, it’s dry as can be on the surface. I’ve found that using a creamy moisturizer seems to suffocate my pores and lets the oil that is hiding underneath have a field day.
So, I tried a totally different alternative to a typical moisturizer: CosMedix Benefit Balance. This antioxidant prep is an extremely light spray that you mist over your face (avoiding your eyes) once or twice a day (for me, morning and night). Technically, this product is a toner, but its all-natural ingredients such as vitamin C, green tea and the moisturizing agents of heavy water actually replenish and nourish skin for an overall healthier tone.
What I find so amazing is that it feels like you are simply spritzing water on your face; yet flaky, dry skin will disappear, allowing you to apply makeup with a smooth, natural look.
CosMedix says that Benefit Balance is the perfect solution to calm hyper-sensitive or post-procedural skin.
I bought it from my skincare guru Denise Hurley Aesthetics in Scottsdale for $35 (who I would highly recommend for shaping up your skin!). Or, you can find CosMedix Benefit Balance online.
