Face Wash Excursion Bust

Hey all,

Listen the face wash thing became a major bust. Just so you know, all three broke me out and I'm throwing in the towel and just letting my dermatologist handle it. Sorry! =[

Face Wash Excursion - Week #1

So, here we are, week one of my three week face wash adventure. Hah. 

This week I tried out the L'Oreal "Go 360 Clean," deep facial cleanser type (green). If you can recall what I'm talking about it's the new one with the little "scrublet" built into the bottle? Yeah, and the woman looks all pumped using it in the commercial. Weird, but slightly legit. 

So, I used this twice a day for one whole week. First off, I  don't recommend using it twice a day. This will most likely dry out your skin. It even says it on the back but I wanted to get the full effect for this review. Alright, so it's not like horribly-cracked-and-flaky-skin dry but the edges of my mouth got it along with the creases in my nose and kind of the corners of my eyes. So ... if you're a morning person, use it then, if not use it right before bed. One or the other, not both. 

My breakouts didn't get worse, but they didn't really get too much better either. I lightly break out, and as I mentioned in my intro blog, I believe I'm allergic to the Salicylic acid because it's seemed to have caused my breakouts in every other product. L'Oreal sorta did their job here and yes, my face felt cleaner, but it didn't look any cleaner.

Now on to this "scrublet" thing going on here, isn't really that big of a deal as the cute girl in the commercial makes it out to be. My biggest problem was probably trying to find the right amount of soap to put on it to get an even wash. If I put too little, it just sorta sank into the scrublet and didn't do much for my face but if I put too much the soap just kind of ran everywhere and made rinsing a pain. 

Overall, 1. don't use this twice a day. If you're a morning person - morning; night, use it at night. 2. try your best to find the right dose of soap to put on your scrublet. There are also two other types of this 360 deal: there's an exfoliating scrub in an orange bottle and a cream cleanser in a pink bottle. If I ever want to try this again.... I'll probably go for the exfoliating scrub.

So, there we go. Week one down. First thing tomorrow I'm going to tackle the St. Ives "Naturally Clear" blemish and blackhead control. See yah then!!
