Beauty Tips For Body Care
http://imgur.com/woikLksSo when I first came to SCA, I screwed my skin up pretty badly. Call me over ambitious, but I was trying everything & anything, which led me to dry, over exfoliated- moisture barrier ruined skin. It took me some time to realize this, but when I did, I promptly quit all actives & really, everything. I knew I needed moisture, and at this point I had really sensitive, easily irritated & red skin.This led to me to the Dr. Jart Ceramidin & Cicapair creams. I would wear them everyday day, together, morning & night. It was life changing for my skin. As you can see from the pictures, I would use up every last bit I could, after all, they're $48 a piece. After I finished these last two, I was low on money, and at least at that time, couldn't justify repurchasing at that price when I had bills to pay.So I started scouring around for different creams with Ceramides & Centella Asiatica. I know from experience I cannot use CeraVe, that was out of the question. I first found out about the LRP, with the price point it didn't seem like a huge risk, so I bought it. After some digging I found the CosRX Balancium Ceramide Cream, which has both the ingredients I'm looking fo, YES!.Here's my results.I won't spend another $100 on the Dr. Jart creams again. I love that brand & it's always done right by me, but the CosRX easily replaces both with one 2.82oz tube for $26. It's still a heavy cream (which I actually like), but sinks in better, and leaves a velvet like finish to your skin. It calms my skin down like the Cicapair used to, and keeps my skin soft af like the Ceramidin would.While I've been using the CosRX longer, and the LRP ended up being more of an after thought- I'm surprised at how well it works for $14. If the CosRX didn't exist, I would still be replacing my Cicapair with it. I think it's not quite as thick as the Cicapair, but for some with oily skin, this may be a good thing.I just wanted to write this because the Dr. Jart creams have for some time now, been HG status for me. I never considered going without them until I was forced to, and now that I have, I can say there are equally good & cheaper replacements out there. Also I didn't mention, but I tried quite a few other cica & ceramide creams besides these I mentioned, and these two were by far the best.
