I feel the heal!

Well I survived the Easter weekend and so far my skin seems to have too. Sometimes it takes a few days for the breakout to happen so I don't want to jinx it by assuming I'm in the clear, but as for now it's looking good.

I'm being modes;, I actually think my skin is looking awesome.  I do love the Tensage ampoules, the craziest thing is happening with them.  Tensage has some nice data on its wound healing abilities, the original human studies for the product were done on people suffering from radiodermatitis after the Chernobyl accident.  But I guess until you really see the results for yourself it's hard to believe.

So my wound is just a battle scar of being a mom I guess.  My daughter is at that lovely, wiggly stage where she has learned that she can crawl and get into anything she wants to and don't you dare try to hold her back!  Pair that with my in-laws un-baby-proofed home and you can imagine that I was fighting with her quite a bit this holiday weekend. At some point during our struggles she put a nice scratch on the bridge of my nose.

That was Saturday, today it is barely visible.  Just 2 days later!  I can only think to credit Tensage because it is really fading much more quickly than I had expected it to.  The same goes for that chin monster that I had sprouted before the weekend.  I did do an exfoliating mask on Friday, but he still is fading a lot faster than my previous zitty visitors have.

As product manager I get access to some additional product goodies that aren't a part of the Biopelle products (yet, there's always room for more, lol). There are two that I'm using that I'm not sure if they will be a part of the Biopelle family or not, but I'm giving them a try anyway.  Today I started using a serum that is part of the Tensage line of products that our manufacturer makes but we don't distribute here, its part of the Endocare products sold in Spain. It's a serum that has an SCA 15 rating, so now that I've done a full ampoule regimen I'm going to try this serum out and see how it works. It smells much stronger than the ampoules do, but once I put my sunscreen on I don't notice the fragrance.  It absorbs very quickly and doesn't leave as much shine as the ampoules did, so I'm liking it so far.

The other product that I'm in love with is the exfoliating mask that I talked about earlier.  It is from the manufacturer of Auriderm and Ascorderm, a Belgian company named Auriga.  I'm not even sure what the product is called exactly, I know it is part of their Flavo-C line (which uses the same L-Ascorbic Acid as our Ascorderm line) and it's this gel mask that you put on and it dries and then you peel it off.  It really exfoliates nicely and makes my pores look so much smaller!  I can't describe the smell, I hated it at first but have grown to like it, it's almost like sniffing markers, you know you shouldn't like it but you kind of do anyway, lol.

I got a nice gift of products from our partners at Auriga because I helped them to set up their booth at the AAD meeting, so I have some other goodies from them that you may see popping up in my skincare regimen.  I have to learn a bit more about what they do first.

So there's my skin update for Monday morning.  I hope that everyone had a nice weekend and holiday if you celebrated one this weekend.  The toy collection in my house has multiplied like rabbits!  But it's so nice to know how loved your family is, we appreciate it all.  But I'm going to go look for a blog about how to keep the toy clutter under control!
