I’ve used ELEMIS products in the past but only in small sample sizes and never enough to get the full experience and know what to suggest to you! I have gotten many questions about this brand in the past, like how certain products worked, if they were worth the price, and what products to try first. I decided it was time to try them for longer than a week at a time and to share my experience and research. There is nothing I hate more than spending good money on things that don’t live up to the hype! I’m sure you can relate!!

Well I’m here to tell you, the hype is real! Imagine an at home spa experience that you and your skin will both love! I tried a lot of their products and liked them all a LOT! I’ll break down my top 5 favorites and let you know what I loved and why I will be a returning customer!

PRO-COLLAGEN EYE REVIVE MASK

This anti wrinkle eye mask is my favorite eye treatment I have ever used! It’s a jelly formula and can used in several ways! I love applying it at night and it can also be used under makeup. It gives the eyes 24 hours of moisturization that leaves them brighter and less fatigued. Feels incredible on and I can see a difference since using it.

PRO-COLLAGEN TRI-ACID PEEL

This is a GOOD one! I highly suggest this as a treatment twice a week! Helps with fine lines and dull skin which I have been noticing more of lately. I could tell the difference just after the first use! It helped remove dead skin cells I could feel on my skin that a facial scrub wasn’t getting rid of. After I do this and add the rest of my nighttime routine I could feel my skin just drinking it all in!

PRO-COLLAGEN CLEANSING BALM

This also comes in Rose and smells amazing in both! This super cleansing treatment balm feels so good on the skin. I have seen it all over online and now know why! It melts away your makeup, cleanses your skin and all without feeling dry. It leaves you feeling moisturized and ready for the rest of your skincare routine. Best part is you can also use for a nourishing treatment. Leaving on for 10 min to leave skin even more moisturized.

DYNAMIC RESURFACING FACIAL PADS

Love using resurfacing facial pads and these did not disappoint! I like to use these when I am not using the tri acid peel. I typically use this in the evening after washing my face to gently exfoliate my skin. However they can be used morning and/or night. Depending on how your skincare routine is.

SUPERFOOD FACIAL OIL

I don’t typically use a facial oil mostly because I do get acne still from time to time. My acne is mostly hormonal but new products and oils can cause breakouts too. I love that this oil is made of super foods and very light so It hasn’t caused me any breakouts. I have only been using it once a week to add a little something on Sundays to my routine. I also apply a drop to a small patch I have on my neck. Its a little red patch that came out of nowhere a few months ago and is super dry. Since adding the facial oil at night to it its less dry and has gotten so much better! You can also add this to your moisturizer in the mornings, your makeup will go on so smooth after!!

I sure hope this has helped you decide on a few products to try, incase you were on the fence about it! I would highly recommend ELEMIS now that I have tried so many of their products. Out of everything I ordered there wasn’t a single item I didn’t like! Shop my favorites below and for even more beauty tips be sure to follow me on Instagram @amandawarren__

Having suffered from acne for years, I was desperate to find a solution that wouldn't require me to invest in expensive treatments or harsh creams. After some research, I stumbled upon a fast cure for acne that changed my life! I'm talking about Indian Healing Clay and Apple Cider Vinegar. In this blog post, I will share the simple steps for how to use this simple and powerful combination for a fast cure for acne-prone skin and clogged pores.

Are you suffering from acne that started in your teenage years and continued through adulthood? My joke to myself was “I’ll have acne right until the wrinkles start to set in”. WRONG! Wrinkles are coming and this darn acne is not leaving! I have seen so many dermatologists and done everything I can to help fight the battle! Certain products seem to really help, but others are just a quick fix and it basically all comes back. Around two years ago while looking for a new facemask on Amazon I found this Indian Healing Clay mask and decided to give it a try. At this price point it was worth a shot! Years have gone by and I still use it on a weekly basis, sometimes more if I am having a breakout or an important event coming up and want a fresh face! (my husband calls it the “Hulk” mask. He thinks he’s funny!)

The Indian Healing Clay works with Apple Cider Vinegar to help smooth and soften the skin, all while removing toxins. There are many things Indian Healing Clay can be used for, but my favorite is the ability to dry up my acne by drying up my breakouts and unclogging pores in just one mask!

For application mix equal parts of Indian Healing Clay and Apple Cider Vinegar, apply to face evenly, and let sit. For sensitive skin they recommend letting it sit for 5 min and 15-20 for normal. I usually leave it on as long as I possibly can. My face is always beat red after washing off, but not to worry this is normal and will go away shortly after! You will feel tightening and slight tingle before washing. If you have acne-prone skin this will be a great treatment to add into your routine.

I hope this helps you as it did me! Some other tips I would recommend are changing your pillowcase daily, washing morning and night and never touching your face. Remember, oils are NOT our friend!
