Newest Addition to my Skin Care Routine...

Hello Lovely!

Today I am so excited to share one of the newest additions to my skin care routine, the Vanity Planet Ultimate Skin Spa System! My normal three step skin care system works great in the fall, but is not enough to protect my complexion from the elements during the winter. Over the past month, I have been gradually rotating my fall skin care products out, and introducing my complexion to more moisturizing products. I am still in the process of testing out some different products to see which work best for me. Once I have figured out a good regimen, I will be posting an updated skin care routine and product reviews. 

Did you know that dead skin cells inhibit your skin's ability to absorb moisture? In order to keep your skin smooth and moisturized during the winter, you will need to incorporate some form of exfoliation into your skin care routine. Gently exfoliating the skin with a cleansing brush not only helps to remove the dead skin cells, makeup, dirt, and oil that hand washing may have missed, it also prepares the skin to be more receptive to hydration. I prefer to use non-scrub cleaners with my cleansing brush, as scrub cleansers tend to be too harsh, leaving my skin red and irritated.

What I love about the Vanity Planet Ultimate Skin Spa System is that it comes with three different brushes that can be switched out depending on your individual skin care needs. The device itself can be set on two different speeds, a lower speed for a gentle, topical cleansing, or a higher speed for a deeper, more thorough exfoliation. It also comes with a protective storage case, which makes this set incredibly easy to travel with. I am currently using the daily cleansing brush, shown with the light grey and white bristles in the photo above. I use it both day and night, on the lower speed setting, prior to applying my moisturizer. It seriously leaves my skin looking luminous and feeling baby soft. I am not sure how I ever took care of my skin without this! As I mentioned in previous posts, I have combination oily skin that also happens to be extremely sensitive. Although the device does come with two different speed settings, I am only using the higher setting once a week during the winter, to avoid over-drying and irritating my skin.

If you haven't already incorporated a cleansing brush into your skin care routine, I highly recommend it. This set is normally $125, but you can get it for $39.99 right now! A personalized 15% promo code should also pop up for you when you purchase it through any of the links shared in this post! 

As always, thank you for checking out my blog! I hope you enjoyed reading this post and learned something new about skin care in the process! Please feel free to leave any questions or feedback about this product in the comments section below!
