Bye Bye Blemishes | Erno Laszlo

Bye Bye Blemishes! This set has been my go-to summer night routine and still is as we head into the fall. I’ve struggled with acne my entire life, even into my thirties, so making the choice to select this starter kit from Erno Laszlo has been a perfect fit. I wanted to give Jessica from the Laszlo team a big thank you for reaching out and inviting me to be a part of the “Laszlo Icons.”

This is not my first experience with the brand as I had tried and fallen in love with their Sea Mud Deep Cleansing Bar, which is a powerful cleansing bar that instantly refreshes and balances your skin’s oil with 26 minerals. A definite must in anyone’s routine! 

Now back to the kit. What’s inside?
Exfoliate & Detox Pore Cleansing Clay Mask
Exfoliate & Detox Light Controlling Lotion (Toner)
Exfoliate & Detox Pore Refining Detox Double Cleanse
Hydrate & Nourish Phelityl Night Cream

Plus other little goodies like an adorable scrunchie, stickers and Marilyn Monroe’s skincare ritual. It's evident that Erno Laszlo has been around for quite some time helping such icons as Monroe, Greta Garbo and even Audrey Hepburn.

To start I used the Exfoliate & Detox Pore Refining Detox Double Cleanse which includes a formula of super fruits like pineapple, Jujube and kiwi that help clarify and smooth skin. This cleanser reminds me of the Sea Mud Bar, but with an easier application and a nice lather.

I followed this with the Exfoliate & Detox Cleansing Clay Mask, a mineral enriched, pink hued, creamy mask that was easy to spread and set comfortably on the face for the 15 minutes. It is a relatively lightweight mask that works hard to remove impurities but leaves your face soft and hydrated from the rosewater. I love masking so I was happy to see this included in the kit!

Next, I applied the Exfoliate & Detox Light Controlling Lotion, which is a toner that removes surface oils and heals skin with anti-inflammatory botanicals that support natural tissue repair. Even though it contains Alcohol Denat. it did not strip my skin of hydration, but I have oily skin so maybe it could be harsh for sensitive skin.

Lastly, and of my favorites of the set, is the Hydrate & Nourish Phelityl Night Cream. This one is a lightweight formula that soaks right into the skin without any greasy feeling and works hard to match one’s skin pH and restores naturally found fatty acids for a glowing complexion. It can also be applied to the neck and decollete area for an encompassing nightly moisturizer.

I’m honestly upset that I love these so, because each product is quite pricey for my teacher’s budget, but definitely worth the investment for my skin. After a month of use and the stresses of daily life and the process of moving I found this ritual to combat stress acne successfully. Overall, if you can indulge, I would suggest you try Erno Laszlo out even if it’s just the Sea Mud Bar. These are exceptional skincare products that work strikingly well!

Thank you Erno Laszlo for this experience and I’m happy to be an honorary #LaszloIcon

Bye Bye Blemishes | Erno Laszlo

Tom's of Maine Natural Powder Antiperspirant Deodorant

Tom's of Maine Natural Powder Antiperspirant Deodorant has been a great first step on my journey of discovering natural deodorants and what they can do for my body. I chose the Natural Powder antiperspirant simply because that’s what my local Walmart had available at the time, but I am also interested in trying out the Fresh Meadow scent next time. I did choose antiperspirant over their aluminum-free deodorant because as much I would like to say I don’t sweat, that couldn't be further from the truth.

What’s great is that Tom’s provides both options and is up-front about their ingredients. If you need to learn more, Tom’s offers detailed descriptions of every ingredient (explore here) and informative blog posts (read blog here).

Above all, I need that wetness protection when running around chasing preschoolers all day. I’m not sure about the whole 24 hours of wetness-protection, but I do know it withstands a long work day and lots of stressors without any embarrassing underarm wet spots or stinkies. I don’t mind the baby powder fragrance and only a fraction of scent translates to your underarm, leaving it barely noticeable. Plus, I like using fragrance mists, so I don’t mind that this is subtle. The deodorant swipes clear on skin and I haven’t noticed any transfer of product to the undersides of my sleeves.

I gave myself an entire week and then some days of trying this out, since there can be some transition time necessary when switching to a natural deodorant. I felt that this scent worked with my body’s chemistry and was effective at stopping any odors. However, I’d like to pick up some Lavanila Healthy Underarm Detox Mask before I completely switch over and give my underarms a clean slate.

Best of all, Tom’s of Maine products are made cruelty-free with no artificial fragrances or preservatives and no animal ingredients. Furthermore, their packaging is 100% recyclable through Terracycle to prevent adding to landfills, which I love. Tom's also gives back by encouraging employees to use 5% of their paid work time volunteering, and donating 10% of profits to nonprofits every year.

Have you made the switch to natural deodorants? If so, what brand do you use? Feel free to leave your thoughts below!
