Beauty: Neutrogena Review

Because I test and write reviews about different beauty products from skin care to makeup, many of you have emailed me to ask what I use on a daily basis to keep my skin clear.  I have been a Neutrogena fan for years.  In high school, Neutrogena was a life saver or rather a face saver.  To this day, I use Neutrogena products on a regular basis before bed to keep my face clear and radiant.  I alternate between the Oil-Free Acne Wash, Rapid Clear, and the Oil-Free Acne Stress Control products.  I was very excited when the company contacted me to try their Oil-Free Acne Wash Pink Grapefruit products!

Results:  A+
Packaging:  A+
Smell:  A+ (Strong but good)

Like the other Neutrogena products I use, the Oil-Free Acne Wash Pink Grapefruit line works!  I have read other reviews in which people say due to the scent, their skin got irritated, but I have very sensitive skin and my skin didn't react negatively at all.  In fact, my skin is clean, clear, and smelling lovely.  I felt a blemish starting, but after washing my face with Oil-Free Acne Wash Pink Grapefruit products that night, it was stopped in its tracks and vanished.  I definitely recommend this Neutrogena line to anyone looking for a gentle yet effective face cleansing regime.

Beauty: Enza Essentials Review

Over the last month, I have been testing out a new-to-me skin care regime provided by Enza Essentials.  The first step of the process included a questionnaire of what skin type I have, what my skin goes through, and my what lifestyle entails such as stressors and activities.  First, I tried their Extraction System which targeted oily skin.  My skin may be shiny; however, it's also very sensitive, so the Extraction System was a little too aggressive and made me dry out.  The next system I tried was their Complete Sustaining System, which included Sustaining Glow Crème, Hydra Gel,  Cool Sustaining Toner, Fine Facial Polish, Sustaining Cleanser, and Advanced Protection SPF 30.

Now, the moment you've all been waiting for, my review ;)

Customer Service:  A+

After finding my skin was too sensitive for the Extraction System, the customer service was very knowledgeable and understanding.  They immediately sent me the Sustaining System to try instead.

Packaging/Appearance:  A+

Each package was wrapped professionally and included a folder with medical facts, detailed suggestions, and personalized instructions on how to follow the regime for best results.  Very helpful!

Results:  A

Under the circumstances of a very stressful couple of weeks with school starting back up, t.o.m. visiting, and getting a new puppy, the Enza Essentials Sustaining System did a great job.  I got through all three major stressors with only a few blemishes to count.  If I had to pick a favorite product out of the system, it would be a tie between the cleanser and the fine facial polish because I love them both!  I have seen a change in my skin to be honest with an evening out of the tone and my skin feels smoother.

Overall, I give Enza Essentials an A+! If you're in the market for some new skin care products, be sure to check out www.enza.com and use promo code "ARIZONAGIRL" to get 40% off of your purchase through 9/30/14!
