Hey Glossies,

I can never underestimate the power of good skincare.  There can be no real beauty without proper, effective skincare.  After getting a facial during Spaweek, I realized that I need to up the ante on my skincare regimen.  A great regimen allows for better application of beauty products and YES, healthy looking skin! Always remember that skincare as an investment.

So I decided to try LancerX Extremely Pure Cleanser and AM/PM Nourishing Treatment for a week.

The LancerX products have a light citrus scent, which, thankfully, is not oppressive on the nose.  The cleanser has a light foam, which is great because I love to see suds when I am washing my face.  The cleanser felt refreshing against my skin and did not cause any tingle (that is a huge deal for my uber-sensitive skin). The AM/PM Nourishing Treatment is a light cream, non-greasy!

After my week long use of these products, I will say that my face was super soft and supple. I also had a wonderful glow to my skin (I could see my halo)  …not greasy…not shiny.  I also used the Murad Sensitive Serum between the cleanser and the nourishing treatment on a few days and there was no decrease in softness and suppleness of my skin.

I definitely would definitely want to invest in these products.
