Skin Care for Sensitive Skin
Do you have sensitive skin? I do, and have had it for years. I’ve used cleansers that would dry my face out so much that my face would be flaky…not a pretty sight! I’ve used moisterizers that would break my face out and would make my face red and splotchy and would itch. I’ve been through it all. About a month ago, I read several reviews on the internet about the Clarisonic facial cleanser. I’m not one to spend a lot of money on facial gadgets, but I received some money for Christmas, so I thought I would try it. I have also wanted to try bareMinerals skin care. I have used Bare Escentuals makeup for years, so I thought the skin care line might be safe for my skin too!
I have been using the Clarisonic (which came with the Gentle Hydro Cleanser) and the bareMinerals cleanser and moisterizer. These products have changed my skin for the better! Oh my goodness, why haven’t I been using these products before now? Now, I use them in addition to the other products in the collage above. My skin has never looked better!
Here’s how I use these products:
Nightly Routine
1. Neutrogena Makeup Remover cloths: I start by cutting a cloth in half and put the other half back in the pack. I use this cloth to remove my eye makeup.
2. Clarisonic Mia 3: This handy little facial cleanser tool is perfect for cleansing your face. It says it “cleanses your skin 30 times better than manual cleansing.” I believe it! I use this tool at night to remove my makeup and cleanse my face at the same time. I apply the Clarisonic Gentle Hydro Cleanser to the brush head, then turn on the tool to speed #3 setting. It will beep periodically to let you know how much time you have to cleanse your face. It will stop automatically after about a minute. I then massage the cleanser into my skin and cleanse around my eyes, then rinse.
3. bareMinerals Biolucent Mineral Brightening Treatment: I apply this to my face and neck.
4. Estee Lauder Lip Conditioner: I use this to moisterize my lips. This prevents chapping.
5. Curel Daily Moisture Lotion: I apply to my hands and legs to moisterize.
Morning Routine
1. bareMinerals Purifying Facial Cleanser: I wash my face with the cleanser and a washcloth.
2. bareMinerals Biolucent Mineral Brightening Treatment: I apply this to my face and neck.
3. Estee Lauder Lip Conditioner: This works great by applying this before you apply your lipcolor. It makes your lipcolor look soft and smooth.
4. Curel Daily Moisture Lotion: I apply to my hands and legs to moisterize.
I have not been compensated for the products. This is my actual skin care routine.

I have a Clarisonic and LOVE it! My skin has been so much better since I've started using it.
Great products for sensitive skin! I love my Clarisonic and can't go a day with out it!
I always use Bare Minerals makeup – but have yet to try there face washes.
I found your blog on the Living in Color Style link up and would love if you could pop by mine.

Wonderful picks here! Thanks for linking up to #brilliantblogposts
I've been thinking about skin treatment devices but still am reluctant about some tool touching my face.
