“I WOKE UP LIKE UP THIS!” My face WITHOUT using Glycolic 10 Overnight Renew by SkinCeuticals!

Hello, RealSelf friends!
Let me start by explaining the reasoning behind the title of my update: I woke up to an extremely oily face and, without even touching it, my skin feels gross.
So, before I got out of bed, I decided to take the following photos, to exemplify the oil lingering on my face some mornings. Other mornings I wake up to less oily skin.
Glycolic 10 Renew Overnight helps my skin and this oil issue 100%. It’s the only thing I didn’t use last night. It only makes sense to show my skin up close when I’m not using it. The benefit of applying the treatment before bed is awesome.
I will probably break out if I don’t type fast enough. I didn’t change anything last night and I always shower before bed. The temperature was around 55 degrees Fahrenheit outside but it was warmer in the sun, and it’s May.

*My skin didn’t become very oily until recently, and it has been a good 4 to 5 months since I finished the product in from my Oct/Nov. 2019 review. My close friend couldn’t believe the results of my skin overtime! She has dry/combination skin and knows the skin struggle! We ordered together online (pre-pandemic) and shipped to her house.

I have not started using my new bottle/tube every other night or every night, but this is proof to me that I need to start ASAP! I explained, in an earlier update, the reasons due to the pandemic is why I had to pause it.

It is definitely important to point out today’s skin issues (gross), compared to the benefits even after I stopped using the overnight treatment in my first review in October 2019 (it’s a separate review).

I hope to help someone along the way!

I CAN’T TOUCH MY FACE! (Please read below) Let’s talk about this....

I am unable to finish this review at this time because of recent and current events. My intention was to provide my RealSelf community an escape, from the current events surrounding the pandemic, by giving daily updates and photos. I LOVE my SkinCeuticals Glycolic 10 Overnight treatment. It’s in my TOP 3 alll time favs.

If there was a time lapse video of me sleeping you’d see me touch my face in my sleep.
I think I got it down- (not touching my face) when I’m outside or at home; however, in order for me to use my fav. face product, I have to use it the right way. It is golden to me. Sometimes (negative) factors in our environment stress out my face and (there are a lot of them). Thankfully, SkinCeuticals has a team of real scientists (in a real laboratory) researching products and formulas essential to protect our skin from everyday home, stay at home, quarantine and (once we get back to it) every day life! I’m ordering their products with antioxidants and REAL vitamins that are essential to healthy skin for my skin type!

Covering your face BY wearing a face mask outside of home is absolutely necessary for your and my heath at this time... but I would be lying if I told you it’s easy!!!! It is hard to do! I wash my hands after touching the faucet to turn on my sink! (Lol)

The state where I live has a mandatory Stay-AT- Home order in place and, unless it’s an emergency, we need to be inside by 9pm.

Stay safe! I will see (virtually) see in my next update!
Please leave me a tip on how I can stop touching my face below in the comment section - or- a tip on how you have managed to find an escape from reality. Thanks!

With Love,

Starting SkinCeuticals Glycolic Renée Overnight! (2nd time)

During this time of year the sun is a little stronger during the day so I recommend: ALWAYS USING SUNSCREEN!

I love this product! I used it for the first time in late fall 2019 and (my first review is below) I took a break and it's now April 2020 and we are social distancing from one another. I thought this would be a good idea to start this again and see how it works during early spring!

I am using it tonight on my face and neck and not tomorrow, as the directions say on the bottle.
The first I used this I had less oil on my face in the morning and throughout the day. I have to take a moment and give a disclaimer from my experience: do not use it on your lips. I did by mistake and my lips were dry. Also, the directions state to avoid your eye area.

Learning from past experiences with Glycolic Acid peels, I put a thin layer of Petroleum jelly or Vaseline on my lips and eyebrows because it's a nice way to protect my skin and eyebrows.... that's just my opinion but I like it. I'll check back in soon to let you know how it is the second time around!

I have a before photo and a picture I just took after putting it on my face. I also forgot to mention that I am not broken out under my nose and above my mouth from the treatment. I used a cream before showering .... Italian skin problems!
Oh and my face looks horrible since my dermatologist is closed and I haven't had Botox for over a month; due to the pandemic elective "procedures" are canceled.... I understand but Botox also helps me in other ways too.... but it's okay. We will live and that is the most important thing right now.
Thank you for reading! Ask any questions about this or any of my other review and I'll try to answer them as soon as I read them! Stay well.
