So I’m back for the last time and this blog is the most important one. Why? Because this will show if the products I have been using have improved my skin…
I booked myself in for a final skin scan with the lovely Lauren and I took the first skin scan results back in May to compare.
My results
As shown at my first skin scan my skin was at a reasonable level, but my sun damage had room to improve.
For the past 4 months, I have been using the products suggested at the initial skin scan and below are the results…
Fact and figures
| Before (May 2017) | After (Sept 2017) | |
| Wrinkles | 12.734% | 10.521% (↓ 2.213%) |
| Pigmentation | 11.765% | 7.800% (↓ 3.965%) |
| Redness | 0.000% | 1.333% (+ 1.333%) |
| Inflammation | 0.000% | 0.000% (no change) |
| Pores | 3.775% | 5.140 (+ 1.365%) |
Pigmentation
Overall I have reduced my pigmentation which was caused by previous sun damage by a fantastic 3.965% which I am very happy about. This was the one area I was really interested in finding out as you can’t tell from just looking at your skin.
The Essential C Daily Renewal Complex at £86 may be quite expensive but to have reduced my skin damage by this much in a short amount of time, it’s worth investing in.
Wrinkles
My wrinkles have reduced by 2.213% which again is great news. I had noticed my eye area becoming a lot smoother and brighter which is always a bonus at 28! Going forwards Lauren suggested I focus my eye face cream application on a larger area around my eyes and my lip area.
Pores
Interestingly my pore count has increased by 1.365% but Lauren assured me this number is relatively low so it isn’t something to worry about. However, to help with reducing pores Lauren recommended the new Hydro-Glow Aqua Peel Mask which will give my face a deep clean and help to remove stubborn dirt in my pores.
Redness
Due to one broken capillary, my redness has unfortunately increased by 1.333%. Whilst this isn’t noticeable I will be sampling the new Murad redness therapy range to see if it helps to reduce my redness.
What I’ve noticed …
I definitely feel like my skin is a lot softer than before. When I am not wearing makeup I have noticed how brighter and toned my complexion has become. Overall I am really pleased with the results. I will definitely keep using these products and maybe invest in the new Hydro-Glow Face Mask.
My top three products are the Instant Radiance Eye Cream, Essential C Renewal Complex and Essential C Day Moisturiser. If you want to find out more about your skin health or are just looking for a new skincare regime I would absolutely recommend a skin scan, especially if you are worried about any sun damage you may have.
