#BioreStripDown #CollectiveBiasThe older I get and the more I am out in the sun the more I really think about my skin and how I have not been taking care of it as well as I should… I am terrified to look back in 5-10 years and think that I should have washed my face more, wore more sunscreen, or moisturized more. Also where my blog has grown to be bigger, I want to make sure that I am not feeling super self conscious in headshots. It is hard enough to post pictures of myself without being self conscious, let alone a close up of my face.

With having King, I wanted to make sure that if I am going to take the time to do skin care that a few things needs to happen. 1. It needs to leave me feeling good & refreshed. I don’t want to take extra time out of my day and not feel better when I am finished. 2. It needs to be relatively quick. I am exhausted and ready to fall asleep at the end of the day so I don’t want to be taking too much extra time getting ready for bed. My sleep is super important to me.

Looking at all of those things, I finally found a few products from Bioré that I have tried and tested to be my favorites and I wanted to share them with you. They work amazing, are quick to complete your skin care routine, and they are affordable. One of my favorite parts is that you can find them all at your local Target while you are already spending hours snacking on their popcorn and sipping on a Diet Coke browsing all the goodness that they have. First I start off with the Bioré Deep Pore Charcoal Cleanser. Oh my goodness you guys. I have never had my face feel so fresh and clean after washing it. It has natural charcoal in it which is known for its ability to draw out and trap deep-down impurities. I swear, my face has never felt so smooth and clean after a cleanser. It pumps out black, which made me a little nervous at first… However, it lathers white which was a relief, and then it rinses off clear. It also is oil free which I absolutely love. It rinsed off so quick and easy which was my favorite part I think.

After the cleanser, I use the Bioré® Deep Cleansing Charcoal Pore Strip. I have never used a pore strip before, but after seeing a close up picture of my pores on a headshot I knew it was a must. *Insert cringe!* It is brand new and it unclogs your pores and draws out all the extra oil. It also with the charcoal formula reduces your shine to see 3x less oil. Seriously, I would have been happy with just it doing those two things, but my absolute favorite part of this product is that one strip is all that it takes (in only 10 minutes) to remove a full week’s worth of build up. AMAZING! I even tricked Zach into doing one with me and we could not believe the build up that came off of our faces. I feel so much better knowing that in only 10 minutes it cleaned out my pores that much. So easy and seriously life changing. Do you have a quick and easy skin care routine that makes you feel like one hot momma? I swear I have never felt so good about myself. Taking care of myself and my skin has made me feel more confident. When I feel more confident about myself, I am a better wife, mom, friend, & all around person. Does taking care of yourself make you feel & be a better person?
