Paula's Choice: Luxury Skin Care on a Budget.

This post is brought to you by Paula's Choice and PRIMP.

I have been spending so much time on my skin over the past year. I would say during the last few months, I have gotten even more serious about it. Aging is not fun my friends and all of a sudden my skin was showing my age. I get to test so many different skin care products and brands, but finding and sticking to a routine that works for my skin is difficult. I was given the opportunity to test out Paula's Choice and I was super excited about because a lot of my blogging friends had experienced it with fabulous results. Since I was dealing with a lot of issues with dull, uneven skin and fine lines, I have been testing products from the RESIST line to address my concerns.

My regimen includes everything I need for daytime and evening and includes the following and how I use them in my routine.

Daytime

RESIST Optimal Results Hydrating Cleanser
RESIST Replenishing Toner
Skin Perfecting 8% AHA Gel
RESIST Super Antioxidant Concentrate Serum
RESIST Cellular Defense Daily Moisturizer SPF 25
RESIST 1% Retinol Booster (I mix this with the moisturizer)
RESIST C15 Super Booster (I mix this with the serum)

Evening

RESIST Optimal Results Hydrating Cleanser
RESIST Replenishing Toner
Skin Perfecting 8% AHA Gel
RESIST Super Antioxidant Concentrate Serum
RESIST Barrier Repair Moisturizer
RESIST 1% Retinol Booster (I mix this with the moisturizer)
RESIST C15 Super Booster (I mix this with the serum)

Weekly

RESIST Weekly Resurfacing Treatment 10% AHA - This is a powerful glycolic treatment that I apply and leave on my skin overnight once a week. It does a fantastic job at turning over skin and getting read of dead skin cells to reveal a brighter, more even skin tone. I swear my age spots are fading already and I have been working on them for a long time.

My favorite products are RESIST Weekly Resurfacing Treatment with 10% Glycolic Acid, the RESIST Retinol Booster and RESIST C15 Super Booster. I add one drop of the C15 Super Booster to my serum and I add two drops of the Retinol Booster to my moisturizer (both daytime and evening) and I swear these are what are giving me such significant results.

I have noticed a huge change in my skin for the better after using the Paula's Choice products for a little over two weeks now. I go for monthly facials with the same girl and I just went for one and she asked me what I had been using because she noticed a significant improvement in the tone and texture in my skin. I knew I noticed a difference but to have her justify it under magnification was a huge testament to how the Paula's Choice regimen was working on me.

There are so many products in the Paula's Choice line with products for everyone and all skin conditions like acne, rosacea, aging or pores. They treat it all. On their website, you can choose from a menu of skincare concerns you’d like to treat. You know how you can be confused as to where to start with skin care? Their website has a full encyclopedia of advice for every type of skin care concern. Paula Begoun, the founder, is all about truth in beauty, skin care, ingredients and proven research.

Paula's Choice is all about helping customers find the perfect products for their skin. In fact, everyone can receive a FREE personal skincare consultation here: 1-800-831-4088. I highly recommend doing that. My consultant guided me through my entire skin care routine. It was such a treat and something you don't typically get at a rushed beauty counter.

Not only am I super impressed with my skin, I am super impressed with everything about the Paula's Choice brand. They offer a 100% Money Back Guarantee (within 60 days) on all of their products. The products don't contain any irritating dyes or fragrances (my nose is so finicky) and they don't test on animals.

AGEbeautiful Root Touch-Up Spray.

I don't know about you, but I swear my gray hairs are coming in faster than ever. I don't have time to make it to the salon more than every five week - I just don't. As it is, I have to touch up with hair color at the roots in between salon visits, but honestly it's not enough. My grays are showing around my hairline within days - what gives? I've been searching for a solution that doesn't rub off or sweat off and I've finally found it: AGEbeautiful Root Touch-Up Spray. Yes, a spray! And the best thing about this spray is that it lasts until your wash it out.

Now, I know what you're thinking. You are thinking that AGEbeautiful Root Touch-Up Spray has got to be messy. That's exactly what I though too. It's a colored spray. I was thinking that this was going to get all over the place. Well, I was very wrong. Root Touch-Up spray adheres only to the hair fiber so it doesn't get anywhere else. It's sort of like dry shampoo, which is great as it adds a bit of volume to the hair.

The secret to applying AGEbeautiful Root Touch-Up Spray is holding the can steading, maybe four inches form the head and spraying it in even strokes, pointing it right where you have gray hair. For me, that is right at the hair line and where I part my hair. This video shows exactly how easy the spray is to use.

AGEbeautiful Root Touch-Up Spray comes in eight very natural looking shades that blend perfectly into hair. I suggest going one shade lighter than you'd think as you're going to tend to use a lot of spray. The more you spray and layer on, the darker the shade. I tested Light Blonde and Dark Blonde and Light Blonde is perfect for me.

Buy AGEbeautiful Root Touch-Up Spray for $9.99 at Sally Beauty Supply.
