In the AM, most mornings I first cleanse with a gentle cleanser and my Foreo Luna Mini. Before I rinse, I'll mix some Eminence Strawberry Rhubarb Dermafoliant and water in my hand and massage that around by hand. Some days I'll do the cleansing part but then use Skinn DermAppeal, Serious Skin Care Glycolic Gommage, or Serious Skin Care Glycolic Peel. At night, after oil cleansing with my Foreo Mini, I'll use either Mad Hippie Exfoliating Serum (10% AHA) or Skinn Translucent Resurfacing Concentrate most of the time, but a couple of nights a week I'll use prescription Retin-A. Once a week (either Saturday or Sunday) I'll do a Skinn Collagenesis DWP ABC Peel (love that stuff).
Hey, Jean! I've been meaning to ask -- do you like the Eminence better than the Fleur des Lis? Would you mind telling me what differences or similarities there are? I have dry (more dry in winter, it leans more normal in summer), sensitive skin. Thanks!!
I have to admit that yes I do like the Eminence more thant the Fleur de Lis. A few years ago, I was seeing an aesthetician who used all Eminince products in her spa. When I began using an exfoliating powder and landed on the Fleur de Lis, I had totally spaced out on the Eminence so I'm glad I found it again. I know some people found the scent of the FDL to be offensive. I do agree that some were, namely the unscented and the chamomille. I was able to use the lavender and the vanilla. Of all of them, the vanilla smelled the best. There is nothing offensive about the Eminence Strawberry Rhubarb Dermafoliant, it's nice. The FDL is a little more powdery, a finer grain. The Eminence is still made with rice, but there are other things added which I believe add some benefit. Even though it's a little larger grain, it's still gentle. You can control how thick/thin you want it based on how much water you add. If you want to, you can add it directly to your cleanser. I don't because I use the Foreo and the directions warn against using anything grainy or clay based with it because it could affect the silicone.
