Nolaskinsentials For The Win Over Oily Skin

As a teenager, I considered myself incredibly blessed, with breakouts being far and few between. So lucky that common vocabulary such as U-Zone and T-Zone were foreign to me. Unaware of what a skin type was, it didn't matter. Why, may you ask? Because anything outside of essential skincare wasn't hitting this face because, at the time, I found it unnecessary and annoying. I'm talking facial soap, toner(if that), and moisturizer. THAT. WAS. IT.
However, after falling in love with makeup head first, no parachute. The process of removing my beloved was too tedious, so it was skipped. Yes, I can hear your deafening gasp. I slept in my makeup. My skin put up the good fight for years until my sophomore year of college. All of a sudden, I was breaking out like crazy. I flew to the internet for answers. Why had my face forsaken me so? I quickly became aware of all the things previously deemed "unnecessary." And till recently, I was still suffering. Enters Nolaskinsentials, ready to whip my face back into shape.
On the site, you can shop by skin concern. My oily skin, still cursed with the occasional breakouts, had calmed down quite a bit. The focus became the hyper-pigmentation from its past brawls with acne, so I selected the Discoloration and Acne Scarring tab. The items purchased were:
Glycolic Cleansing Foam,
Pumpkin Enzyme Mask,
Witches Brew Toner,
Brightening-C Serum,
Iconic Elixir,
Hyaluronic Acid H2O Creme, and
Glycolic Night Creme.
My shopping basket icon was hefty.
The first two weeks were a nightmare. My skin became incredibly textured, and flare-ups came like they were never going to have the opportunity again. I was frantic. Undeterred, I continued my routine, hoping this ugly phase was simply a detox. Around the one-month anniversary of using Nolaskinsentials, I took a bare face selfie and began to swipe on the smoothing filter as usual. The front camera is no one's friend or acquaintance, for that matter. I looked at myself in the picture, quite shocked. While I wasn't glass skin popping, the results were noticeable. I uploaded the photo to my story filter-free, proud of my skin.
Nolaskinsentials not only sells great products but offers quality service. If not entirely sure of financially investing in full-sized products, sample size options are available for purchase. A skin quiz and a consultation questionnaire can be found on their site to learn skin type and product suggestions, especially for you. Last and admittedly not less, Nolaskinsentials has an excellent recycling program. Five eligible containers sent back equals one free product of choice! Using Nolaskinsentials has genuinely had the best results on my oily skin in years.
