Hi there! Happy Monday!
I hope you had a wonderful weekend! Before we get into the topic of skincare, I have to share an exciting annoucement (NOT pregnant!)…
I launched my own Disney inspired t-shirt company! You can see my first shirt here and check out the Small World Shirts Co website. You can also see it on my LeahTacklesDisney Instagram.
Alright, now that the housekeeping notes are done, onto skin : ) It’s summer and while I like using anti-aging skincare now that I’ve entered my 30’s, I still have combo/oily skin that needs a little something to that in the summer months. I found a drugstore cleanser that is super cheap and has been working well for me that I want to share with you.
MORNING BURST® Skin Brightening Cleanser
You may be familiar with the orange version of the MORNING BURST® Skin Brightening Cleanser, but I was excited to try out the yellow because the color seemed happy for the morning and I love the idea of the scent of lemons waking me up. I also was intrigued about the caffeine element in skincare, and hopeful it would offer great brightening properties.
Product Claims
MORNING BURST® Skin Brightening Cleanser is formulated with a unique blend of caffeine, lemon and papaya and cleanses to help brighten the appearance of your skin while releasing an invigorating fruit fragrance that awakens your senses. You skin will look brightened right away.
My Thoughts
I love the cheery yellow color of the packaging, and the lemon scent is very refreshing first thing in the monring. Caffeine in skincare can help temporarily reduce swelling and shrink blood vessles which can help reduce dark circles and tired looking skin, and as someone who gets less sleep than I should I love these benefits worked into my cleanser. I have to use a couple of pumps to get it to lather like I want, but I really love this cleanser. The cleanser doesn’t have a lot of the microbeads, but it is just enough to feel a very gentle efoliation. I like this as a basic, not very intense or abrasive, cleanser to use on a daily basis.
My Routine
The first thing I do every single day is wash my face with cold (yep, cold) water to wake myself up and get my day started. I use the MORNING BURST® Skin Brightening Cleanser, mostly with my hands but sometimes with my Clarisonic, before moving on to the rest of my morning skincare.
