So I’ve been using a secret weapon on my skin for the last few weeks + while I am still getting the hang of using it on my oily/dry combo skin I am reaping some seriously beautiful benefits.
First let me tell you a little bit about Hide The Years {HTY} Gold. The product line consists of cruelty-free, preservative-free, chemical-free + fragrance free products. Their products are also dermatologist tested and approved. These are all high qualities I consider when looking for skin care. My skin is beyond sensitive plus oily + dry so finding products that work to fix one issue without creating another can be fleeting at times.
My first thought when I was approached by this company was “I’m not even 30 yet, do I really need an anti-wrinkle cream?” After doing some research + learning what these creams were really all about I was thrilled to be given the opportunity to test + review them.
My Skin Woes:
Oily skin/large pores on inner cheek area
dry skin in the inner corners + just beneath eyes;
dry skin on sides of nose
dry skin in brow + temple areas
pretty much oily everywhere else
Ummm yes…I gotta deal with all of that!
I’ve managed the oily parts well. I haven’t had to use any “oil controlling” products since I started using my oil cleansing method + avoiding harsh soaps a couple of years ago but the dryness has always been sort of an issue. It’s kind of new territory for me to tackle. First I had to get oil production under control + then I started focusing on the dryness issue.
I chose the Face Saver package to review. It comes with a Day Gold, Night Gold + Eye Gold.
Day Gold:
Ingredients: Elaeis Guineensis (Palm Oil), Red Elaeis Guineensis (Red Palm Super Olein), Oenothera Biennis (Evening Primrose Oil), Lecithin, Triticum Vulgare (Wheat Germ Oil), Oryza Sativa (Rice Bran Oil)
I used the Day Gold the least since we are in the raining season right now + the air is already filled with so much moisture. I use this product the most on my neck + temple areas to keep skin moisturized. I avoid using it elsewhere since I do have some oily spots + it just isn’t needed in those areas. I never really noticed just how much I neglect my neck until I started using this product. Compared to before it feels dewy + smoother.
Night Gold:
Ingredients: Elaeis Guineensis (Palm Oil), Red Elaeis Guineensis (Red Palm Super Olein), Lecithin, Oenothera Biennis (Evening Primrose Oil), Persea Gratissima (Avocado Oil), Limanthes Alba (Meadowfoam Seed Oil)
I obviously use this one the most. After my skin is cleansed in the evening I use this on my cheekbone area, neck, temple area + chest area. I’ve noticed the most results on my chest area simply because it probably gets most of the daily abuse from the elements. I don’t always remember to apply sunscreen to that area during the day especially if I’m not going to be out at the beach or pool but my skin still gets damaged with even just a little too much sun {I burn easily}. So the skin there is now even-toned + smoother.
Eye Gold:
Ingredients: Elaeis Guineenisis (Palm Oil), Red Elaeis Guineensis (Red Palm Super Olein)
Of all 3 products this one is my favorite. As I mentioned earlier I have dry skin around my eye area + it can be difficult to apply makeup without it flaking or not blending correctly because. my skin is too dry. This cream has worked wonders for me. I use it daily + twice a day. I’ve tired other eye creams that work for the moment {a couple of weeks} + then I’m back to having the same issue.
These products are on the more expensive side but a little goes such a long way + I’d rather pay a little more for one product that works then 5 that don’t + cause more skin issues. And while I don’t love the fact they come in jars I do love the animal print on the lids {so cute!}.
Right now the company is offering me a special promo code for a 25% discount on orders for my readers {who doesn’t love a discount?}. Check out their site + you can enter “blogger4” during the checkout process to get your 25% off.
