My face has never been better and the Acne scars are slowly disappearing!:clap

 
I am really loving just about evry product I have tried from the Apivita Aromatherapy Express Line. This express line comes in two single use packets for $4 or a box of 6 (12 applications) for $24. Sometimes I dont even use it as a mask but I dab a tiny bit on my face (except for the clay one) after my usual regime. Apivita also makes the Propoline Line which have great bath and body products. I might add them to the reviews soon. They can all be found at beautyhabit.com.

Here are a few of my favorites:

Apivita Express - Aqua Plus Face Mask with Cucumber Apivita Express - Eye Zone Mask with Ginkgo Biloba

Apivita Express - Whitening Face Mask with Fruit Acids

Apivita Express - Skin Food Face Mask with Honey

 
New favorites for me are AHA Souffle, Cetaphil cleanser, Curel lotion (use it on face and bod) and the Olay Regenerist microdermabrasion kit. These have all made a huge difference in my very dry skin and, best of all, they are affordable!

 
what's this AVC thing everyone is raving about?

For me it was a big skincare year. I am just finally figuring what's working for my skin.

  • Shu Cleansing Oils
  • La Prairie
  • Kanebo cleansing esp. sponge chief
  • rediscovering Darphin oils and balms
But the biggest discovery was finding all the stuff that doesn't work for my skin! and how to listen to it.
 
- DDF Silky C Serum (soften and improve my skin texture. I don't get any skin irritation after using this product even though I am sensitive to Vitamin C)

- Komenuka Bijin Cleansing Powder (daily cleansing product and its exfoliating feature definitely help me to brighten my dull skin tone. Love it!!)

- Fancl Mild Cleansing Oil (so convenient to use and it removes my waterproof makeup completely. Got to try it!)

- :icon_chee Zia Natural Moisturizer (for combination skin) and eye cream (I bought them in a natural food store. I like the texture of these products and the goods smell great!)

 
Mine has to be the Aloette Platinum Line. See my before and afters?

Picture #1 was taken 11/2003

Picture #2 was taken 11/2005

Picture #3 was taken 12/2005 (only 3 weeks after using ALOETTE products!)

Forgive the picture quality in 1 & 2 I had to take a before digital of a family photo and crop and enlarge....but as you can see the puffyness and bags have gone way down. Not to mention it looks like my eyes had a LIFT!!!!! It was hard to explain and get people to believe me, until I did this before and afters, cuz there are sooooo many products out there - and since it's kinda gradual, you must have before and after pictures, cuz others notice before you do.

PM me if you'd like to try Aloette for yourself (please only serious inquiries). I will send out a catalog and samples (leave me your name and address, again only those who are serious and those who will use my name and ID # when ordering!!!! - or I don't get credit).

Yeah me 2. i have been using AVC without dilluting it with water. My skin can take it tho :icon_lol:

 
Fancl Cleansing oil

Origins checks and balance cleanser

Origins Never a dull moment scrub

Cream de La Mer

Shiseido Anessa Perfect Smooth sunscreen SPF 50

 
For me it's been Elizabeth Grant and Liz Earle. Both ranges have only been available here in Australia for 3-4 months from our shopping channel TVSN and they are both equally as good ( but different!) to me!:icon_bigg

Liz Earle being more "natural" and smells that are divineeeeee....and the antiaging ( but fragrance free) qualities of Elizabeth Grant. I have a full set of both and change them about depending how I feel ....but I believe the Elizabeth Grant ones are making the visible difference and the Liz Earle ones are nurturing, great for the spirit and more maintenance orientated.

 
Yeah... what is AVC?

Mine are:

Olive oil as a cleanser.

Neutrogena Anti-Wrinkle Anti-Blemish Cream

DDF Glycolic Toner 10%, but I use it aout every 2-3 days-not everyday.

Those are my best finds of 2005.

 
My favorite skincare finds of 2005 would have to be daily facial cloths, Murad's pomegranate scrub, Joey New York Two-in-One Moisturizer and Toner, Mario Badesku (sp?) Drying Cream, and finally Murad's Acne Spot Treatment.

 
Cetaphil lotion spf 15 and Bioderma Fluide spf 100 - such high spf and greasy as "normal" cream!:clap
 
My favorite skincare finds: Origins science friction, comodynes make-up remover cloths and olay total effects serum

 
Thanks Kim, for clearing up that ACV/AVC toner confusion for me! Apple Cider Vinegar...you really put it on your face? I did a search because I didn't know what it was & there is a toner/company out there with those initials (although I think it's AVC)...expensive!

I have no new skincare things to rave about. :( /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I just finished trying Olay Regenerist Serum. I am almost done with the bottle and WHAT a disappointment! It did absolutely NOTHING. I am still faithful to RoC Age Diminishing lotion though, only because for some VERY odd reason, it took away all of the blackheads when absolutely nothing else would!

Congrats on your anniversary, Kim & thanks again!

 
I LOVE proactiv!! Their entire skincare line. My face is really sensitive and i get breakouts easily. I havent seen anyhting but beautiful glowing skin since i tried it!!

For body care i love olay in shower moisturinse and olay quench body lotion!!! I need moisture in the winter!!!

 
I've never ever tried a DHC product. In fact I had samples of their stuff somehow and I gave them away to people, lol. NOw, I'm curious, but seriously, the idea of washing my face with OIL when I have bad acne just doesn't appeal to me.. can soemoen explain how it works and has anyone used them with acne?
