I’ve let my skincare routine slide a little this summer. I’m not talking about sunscreen — that’s always a priority and I make sure to wear it daily. Mostly I’m talking about treatments — the things beyond the basic care of cleansing and sun protection. I always look forward to early fall because while I LOVE summer, by the end of it I’m anxious to get back into a routine with the kids in school. I find that I’m much more productive and consistent when I’m on a schedule. I’ve been using a few new products from Paula’s Choice that are quite effective:
In the morning I am adding 3 drops of Paula’s Choice RESIST 10% Niacinamide Booster to my moisturizer to improve uneven skin tone, reduce the appearance of large pores and fine line and improve my overall skin texture. This vitamin B3 formula is for all skin types. I love how easy this product is to use. The ultra-light liquid formula sinks right into the skin and is completely unnoticeable and non-irritating. I noticed almost immediate results, especially in the reduction of pore size. I love this product!
At night I’m using RESIST 1% Retinol Booster after cleansing. This is another product that seems to be very effective in smoothing and brightening my skin making it look radiant while reducing the appearance of wrinkles. Normally retinol products tend to be a bit drying but this one has the pure form of retinol in a slow-release delivery system with a light lotion texture and I haven’t noticed any drying or irritation whatsoever! The formula also includes potent antioxidants to boost skin firmness. I highly recommend this product.
Who is it for?
RESIST 1% Retinol Booster is ideal for anyone concerned with improving the appearance of skin that is showing signs of aging, deep wrinkles, uneven skin tone, and visible loss of firmness. Also helps to improve the appearance of rough, bumpy skin and enlarged pores, making it an all-around anti-aging, skin-improving powerhouse!
Some nights I use RESIST 1% RESIST Intensive Wrinkle Repair Retinol Serum. This product is similar to the Retinol Booster but a thicker (and I think stronger) formula which is why I use it at night. It contains kelp extract and oat kernel oil to soothe and minimize redness the natural effects of retinol. It also contains vitamin C which helps brighten the skin. I can’t say enough good things about Paula’s Choice retinol products, this one included!
One of my all time favorite Paula’s Choice products is the 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant. I’ve never found a product that unclogs pores and keeps them unclogged like this one. This product helps keep my skin clear and I always notice a difference when I STOP using it — I know it’s working! This product is a clear liquid that gently removes built up layers of dead skin while also increasing hydration and smoothing fine lines. You won’t be disappointed in this product!
Check out these amazing results!:

I’ll be honest, I usually skip a toner but I do really like the fresh feeling I get when I use Paula’s Choice RESIST Weightless Advanced Repairing Toner. This age defying toner rehydrates and moisturizes normal to oily skin with it’s lightweight but potent liquid formula. I use it after cleansing with RESIST Perfectly Balanced Cleanser, another product I’ve been using and loving for years.
I’ve never tried a Paula’s Choice product that I haven’t liked. I trust this brand that it’s formulations will be effective, as non-irritating as possible and fragrance free. You can find out more about the products mentioned here and many other fantastic products at www.paulaschoice.com.

This product smells fantastic and is made to gently cleanse, exfoliate and remove dirt and oil without upsetting the natural balance of the skin.
Follow with MPWR Mist Off, a refreshing and deep cleansing spray that soothes and nourishes the skin.
