Rodan + Fields, Day 31

OK, so here I am one month later. I know there are lots of skeptics out there (myself included), when coming across a before/after photo. So I acknowledge that the lighting is absolutely different here, and of course the 'after' photo appears more soft focused and therefore lightens the imperfections. But as I look in the mirror in person and at my 'before' photo on my phone, I can definitely tell you that my freckles are a lot lighter now! 

Current observations of how my skin has changed in a month:

- Significantly smoother

- Less pore congestion around the nose

- Skin lightening/brightening - I actually was skeptical that this was doing anything to my freckles until I compared the photos today - very encouraging!

- No longer wearing any foundation or tinted moisturizer, have only needed to conceal one spot from a blemish from two weeks ago. Otherwise, just dusting skin off with translucent powder for mattifying effect.

- Have not experienced dryness or flakiness of skin. Possibly because I did follow the instructions closely and only increased usage when I was sure that my skin was reacting well to the products. 

Last night I began to incorporate the AMP MD, which is a micro-exfoliating roller that has all these tiny prickly hairs that you roll across the face. This is meant to improve skin texture, minimize pores, increase firmness, reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, etc. No real thoughts on that yet, but will definitely share after a few more weeks of usage.
