By now, you should be familiar with my obsession with skincare. I have always taken pride in taking great care of my skin. It’s an excellent trait I inherited from my mother. If you have seen pictures of her, you will see what I mean. She doesn’t look a day past 30, no joke!
I was just introduced to Paula’s Choice, a brand that I have become very acquainted with due to other beauty blogger reviews I have recently seen. I was given the opportunity to have a one-on-one consultation with a Paula’s choice specialist to determine which products would work best for me. The products suggested were a dead-ringer for my skin type. They even covered stuff I forgot to mention to the specialist about my skin. I was directed to try the Paula’s Choice Skin Recovery Advanced Kit, which caters to dry, very dry skin, those with eczema, redness and extra-sensitive skin.
Here are the steps I followed for the skincare system:
Step 1: Rinse face with cool water.
Step 2: Apply a generous layer of the Skin Recovery Hydrating Treatment Mask. I only find myself doing this once a week since my issues with skin hydration have improved. I left it on for 20 minutes as the instructions suggested and rinsed off afterwards.
Step 2: To properly cleanse the skin, I used the Skin Recovery Softening Cream Cleanser. I used a bit more than I normally would since I had makeup residue that also needed to be removed from earlier in the day. (Yes I have a mole in my ear lol).
Step 3: Apply the Skin Recovery Enriched Calming Toner with a cotton pad. I was out of pads, so a cotton ball worked just fine for me.
Step 4: Apply a small amount of the Skin Perfecting 8% AHA Gel Exfoliant. Literally all you need is a little of this stuff. During application, I noticed an immediate radiant appearance to my skin, which is what I live for when it comes to my skin.
Step 5: Apply the Skin Recovery Super Antioxidant Concentrate Serum. I used slightly smaller than the size of a dime for this.
Step 6: This will vary based on your skin type, what time of day it is and preference. Since it was nighttime, I steered clear of the Skin Recovery Daily Moisturizing Lotion SPF 30 and applied the Skin Recovery Replenishing Moisturizer to finish everything off. Normally, it would take me a lot more than this amount of product to properly moisturize my face, but with this system, I find myself using a lot less, week after week. Awesome sauce!
Here are a few other items I received from Paula’s Choice:
A skincare catalog and guides to taking the best possible care of your skin. The Best Skin of Your Life Starts Here, 20 Beauty Myths Busted! and more.
This is the Paula’s Choice Resist Moisture Renewal Oil Booster. It is great to add into your serum or moisturizer for that added layer of hydration.
This is a God send for my wintery chapped lips and I am also a sucker for lip scrubs.
If you’re unsure if these products will work for your skin type, here’s what to consider:

BONUS: I was also given a lip set from Paula’s Choice, the Perfect & Bright Lip Collection. Come back in a few days for that review! (Didn’t want to bombard y’all with too much stuff in this post, haha.
Thanks to Paula’s choice for sponsoring this post. Also, thanks to my stepson for taking these photos of me!
