My Current skincare routine with L’Bri
Hi friends! Today I will be sharing the skin routine I have been following over the last several months and it has been such a game changer for my skin! Since May, I have been using the L’Bri skincare line, and I am in LOVE! First, a little back ground on my skin; I have combination skin, so I have moments when I tend to be oily and moments where I am more dry. I have a history of breakouts (including cystic acne), so I have tried pretty much every acne product out there. Since I am in my late 20’s, I wanted to find a skincare brand that could help with acne issues, while helping to get rid of and prevent future aging issues like fine lines and wrinkles. I also wanted a brand that would help with keeping my skin looking and feeling younger, too! Enter L’Bri
If you have never heard of L’Bri, here are some quick facts about the brand and the products they offer!
Their products are natural, safe, effective and affordable. (affordability was a big selling point for me)
Aloe is the first, and main ingredient in their products! (Aloe is known to build up and strengthen the cellular walls of your skin and has many anti-aging benefits)
They do not use parabens or sulfates, are cruelty free, and are gluten free (except for the facial peel)
Their products are clean not only for you, but for the environment as they use a lot of recycled and biodegradable materials in their packaging and shipping!
Below, I have broken down each of the products I use in the AM/PM for my skincare regiment! I hope that if you have struggled with acne, or if you have simply not found a skincare brand you like, that L’Bri will give you a new option and avenue to check out! Enjoy!
Step 1 - Deep Pore Cleanser
This cleanser is amazing! It takes off makeup like a charm, and really leaves you feeling clean and refreshed once you have rinsed it off! I use the same cleanser morning and night, and with this product, a little definitely goes a long way! I barely use a drop the size of the end of my index finger! You won’t necessarily get big fluffy bubbles when you lather this cleanser up, but you can definitely tell it is doing the job.
Step 2- Gentle Freshener
The freshener is basically your toner. It refreshes your skin and it also helps to balance your skins normal PH level before you move on to your serums and moisturizers! I use this morning and night as well, and I do not feel like it is drying, at least for my skin! I typically apply a small amount on a cotton ball, rub all over my face in upwards/outwards strokes, then let it sink in before moving on. I have also noticed that if I leave a little makeup/dirt behind, this normally will pick it up and really make sure my skin is fresh and clean before I move on to step 3!
Step 3- Intense Eye Repair Cream
I love this eye cream as it is multi-functioning! I have always had dark circles under my eyes, and with a background in dance, I have not always been the nicest to the skin around my eyes either (hello performance makeup). I wanted a product that would bring back the elasticity of my skin, help to fight wrinkles and lines, and overall make my eyes look fresh and more awake. This product definitely did the trick! I feel like the circles under my eyes are noticeably lighter, and I feel like the skin around my eyes is more firm. I typically use half of a pump of this product on my eyes morning and night. A little goes a long way with this cream, just like the cleanser!
Step 4- Maxifirm Serum
Obviously, I do not like this product (lol). This serum has been a game changer for my skin! It has helped to reduce the size of my pores, even out my skin tone, and I love that it has helped to lift and firm my skin, too. I feel like my skin has gotten brighter, and I notice a difference in the lines I had on my forehead as well! I will use this morning and night following the eye cream, and will typically do a full pump (though I have used half a pump several times and feel like it still does the trick!)
I will typically wait a minute or so for this to sink into my skin before moving on to step 5, just to make sure I really give it time to work!
Step 5- Gentle Moisturizing Lotion
This is the 5th and final step to my morning and nighttime skin care routine! After I let the Maxifirm serum dry, I apply a pea sized amount of this to my face and neck. Like many of the other L’Bri products I use, a little goes a long way. My skin feels so fresh and smooth once I get to this step. And the best thing I love about this moisturizer: it does not feel greasy to me at all! It dries very well and I will typically wait a few minutes before applying my primer/makeup if I am going to get fully dressed for the day!
* Rejuvenating Facial Peel
So the next two products I am going to share, I typically use 1-2 times a week depending on what all I have going on!
This peel is Ah-mazing! It has a faint fruity smell to it, and I love how it feels. It definitely removes dead skin, and leaves my skin feeling super soft! And it is definitely not as harsh as other peels that have a chemical base!
When I use this product, I use it in the morning, and I do not wash my face before hand (because it tells you not to lol). I just put a nickle sized amount on my finger tips, and apply all over my face. The key is to not rub it in too much. Leave it sit for a minute, then using your finger tips work all over your face in circular motions—— and you will literally SEE and FEEL the dead skin coming off! After, I simply rinse with lukewarm water and continue on with the remaining steps of my regiment (2-5).
*Facial Masque
Now this product is one of my top three favorites. The first time I used it , I was blown away by how well it works for my skin. I typically use this masque on the days I use the scrub. I use the cleanser first, apply the masque, and then finish my routine with steps 2-5.
Just take a small amount on to your finger tips, rub it all over your face (but do not rub it in too much!) and let it sit for 10-15 minutes. Between minutes 5-10 you really start to feel it working! This mask tightens your skin to the point where you cannot move your eyebrows or mouth (this can be pretty funny so be careful who you are around), and it sucks out all the nasty stuff in your pores to help cleanse your skin of impurities, acne, etc. A day or two after I use this masque, I typically can see less blackheads, pimples, etc and it even helps to pull some breakouts out of my skin that have not surfaced yet! So I know it really gets down deep into my pores!
I have definitely noticed a difference in the amount, and severity of my breakouts since using this product, and my pores and skin have also tightened up, too!
Overall, my skin has improved dramatically since I began using L’Bri just a couple months ago. Smaller pores, less breakouts, more even skin tone, and I find my face less dry, or feeling dry less often! Definitely worth the money in my opinion!
