This might be it guys…I think I’m finished experimenting with skincare brands/products!!
I’ve been using the hydrating accelerator forever, and I think if there’s one product I can’t live without, it’s this one. I’ve consistently used this for many years and switched out serums, moisturizers, etc., and have not had a problem with dry skin since I started.
Just recently I started using the Active Infusion Serum, and WOW. Game changer. This plus The hydrating accelerator, plus the vital balm creme gives me skin I don’t have to think twice about; it feels good, and looks more even. Sure, I could probably use other things for brightening, etc., but I don’t have the time or money to keep trying to figure that stuff out anymore. Earlier this year I bought some stuff to try and was underwhelmed. Given how expensive most products are I need to be sort of wowed, you know? I need to know that I’m spending money on something that works.
I also use Josh Rosebrook’s SPF tinted moisturizer and have tried his hair products over the years and always think they perform as expected, which is more than I can say about most things. I think I’ve found my HG skincare items/brand, have you?
I generally buy my natural skincare at Integrity Botanicals or Credo (oh, they’re offering $25 gift card with a $100 purchase now..), but lately prefer Integrity because of the free samples and little gifts Teri throws in sometimes 🙂
I do tend to be pretty brand loyal though, once I find something that works for me. Ahem…James Perse…Yes, in general I prefer to buy more from smaller designers lately, but when I need items of clothing (pants) I know will just WORK and fit my body (especially now) James Perse is still it. More next week? I just noticed that they’re offering an extra 10% off sale items….ugh….
I’m really curious about what you find the JR Hydrating Accelerator does for your skin, because I’ve purchased it before and felt like I could’ve gotten the same results with any mist (even water!). But it gets raves, so maybe I’m missing something? And I do want to try the Vital Balm Cream because I’ve hit a wall in terms of dry skin and nothing is “enough” anymore. Oh to have sweet baby skin!
Such a cute picture of you and Hawk! Are you still using Fat and the Moon’s All Cream? I first ordered of that because of you and I’m now on my third large jar. I LOVE that stuff!
to be honest before i started using it i wasn’t using ANY toner or spray of any kind on my face, and i had read/heard that toner is a pretty important step before serum/moisturizer so i tried JRs. it just really seemed to help with hydration – holding it in, whatever, and it feels really soothing on my skin.
i do love the vital balm cream, but i would also suggest you try fat and the moon’s all cream if you feel like you’ve hit a wall. that was the first thing that REALLY made my face feel soft and moisturized all day/all night. it’s also really affordable so it’s easier to try out and not feel bad if it doesn’t work…
YES. i have been using it since whenever i posted about it?
i’ve only just switched (sort of) to the vital balm creme because i was running low on all cream, and got a sample of the balm and felt like it played well together with the other JR items. also it’s a little less “greasy” than the all cream, although that really didn’t bother me much except i did tend to slather on a bit too much because i loved it so much LOL
