My skincare routine and taking care of my skin has always been a big priority for me, BUT for some reason no matter what I did in 2021, my skin just wasn’t having it. I tried everything from changing my diet, trying new brands, changing my makeup…everything! My skin hit a new low in November but luckily during that time I was introduced to Dermalounge MediSpa and they were really a saving grace for my skin.
Dermalounge introduced me to IMAGE Skincare, which is a pharmaceutical grade skincare line that they carry. Before using IMAGE I was very unfamiliar with medical grade skincare but OMG, I have sipped the Kool-Aid and am now a firm believer in making the switch.
One of the biggest things I’ve noticed since switching to using a medical grade skincare line is that IMAGE actually works below the skins surface. I have hyper pigmentation and acne scars (I know, so fun) and since using IMAGE my skin tone is a lot more even. It’s definitely not perfect and don’t think it will ever be but, I’ve noticed improvements so I’m a happy girl!
Before I get into the products I’ll fill you in on some of my skin issues which as I mentioned earlier, are hyper pigmentation and acne scars. My skin is SO annoyingly sensitive that the smallest spots leave me with a scar. I also have mild rosacea and am always trying to combat dull skin from the not so kind winter months. To help with this Dermalounge recommended the VITAL C line which is best for environmentally damaged, sensitive, and redness-prone skin.
Now, let’s get into the products I’ve been using in my skincare routine shall we??
VITAL C HYDRATING FACIAL CLEANSER
High potentent Vitamin C cleanser which helps sooth dry, dehydrated skin and helps reduce redness.
USE- morning and evening
VITAL C HYDRATING ANTI-AGING SERUM
Vitamins A, E, and highly potent antioxidants which nourish skin to create a healthy, youthful glow.
USE- morning and evening
ILUMA INTENSE LIGHTENING SERUM
A light-weight, oil-free serum that treats skin discolouration and redness. I think this has really helped even out my skin tone.
USE- morning and evening ( I typically use in the evening unless I’m not wearing makeup that day)
THE MASQUE’S
AGELESS TOTAL RESURFACING MASQUE
A micro-exfoliating masque which brightens and leaves skin ultra smooth. This is my FAVOURITE product out of everything!
USE- 3 times per week (I alternate between this masque and the hydrating enzyme masque weekly)
VITAL C HYDRATING ENZYME MASQUE
Hydrating enzyme masque that gently exfoliates the built up of dull, dry skin.
USE- 3 times a week (I use in the evening before bed after I cleanse my skin)
I’m super excited to continue using these products in my skincare routine and see the impacts it has on my skin!
