What's In My Cabinet?

Feroche Esthetics Newsletter April 2010 Vol. #1, Issue #3 Excerpt

I receive many compliments on my skin. To figure out what works best for my skins needs I had to go to esthetics school and experiment with different products. My job is to make it much easier for you.

I have dry, sensitive and hormonally acneic skin. Through the years I have tried many different products from: Clean and Clear, Neutrogena, Oil of Olay, Avon, Estee Lauder, Clinique, BioElements, Murad and Dermalogica. Now I mainly use Dermalogica. It seems to be the only product line that works for my skin all of the time.

Depending on my daily skin needs, my at home regimen includes any one of these products:

Cleanser: Special Cleansing Gel (majority of the time), Clearing Skin Wash (during the hormonal times or when I fall asleep with my makeup on), Ultra-Calming Cleanser (when I have a reaction to something), Skin Resurfacing Cleanser (left over from AgeSmart kit).

Exfoliant: AgeSmart Multi-Vitamin Thermafoliant (favorite granular exfoliant), Daily Microfoliant (enzyme exfoliant) and BioElements Quick Refiner (chemical exfoliant). Next I want to try Daily Resurfacer (chemical exfoliant) on a regular basis. It’s a higher strength exfoliant.

Serums: MediBac Overnight Clearing Gel, Clean Start Hit the Spot and Intensive Eye Repair. I am trying out ChromoWhite Extreme C on my hyperpigmentation.

Moisturizer: Skin Smoothing Cream (summer), Intensive Moisture Balance (winter), and AgeSmart Dynamic Skin Recovery SPF 30 (both).

Sunscreen: Solar Defense Booster SPF 30 (love it!)

In the shower:

Body wash: Dermalogica’s Conditioning Body Wash (like the scent and the natural ingredients, but not the price). Next I’m going to try Dove’s new nutrium body wash. It’s just hard for me to find a scent I like with regular store brands.

Body lotion/cream: Dermalogica’s Ultra Rich Body Cream (really like this product so far). Next I’m going to try the new products from Gold Bond. I’ve tried a lot of body lotions/cream. I think the Ultra Rich Body Cream feels the best on my skin.

I am trying the new Aquafresh iso-active toothpaste. I like the paste but not the mess. It oozes from the container even after you clean it.
