Two of the things I really couldn’t see spending the extra
money on were hair products and skincare products. Tresemme shampoo and
Cetaphil face products worked just fine for me in high school, so I always
thought why wouldn’t they work forever? I remember about a year ago, I called
my mom so upset because my hair was falling out so bad. She went out and bought
me a huge amount of salon shampoos and conditioners, and let me tell you
something…. THERE IS A HUGE DIFFERENCE.
Shortly after that I thought if the generic brands of
shampoo and conditioners are doing this to my hair I wonder what is going on
with my skin. I started reading about TULA skincare and figured I’d better
start taking care of my skin now that I’m in my late twenties. Since I am
pretty skeptic about everything especially when it costs more than my normal
skin care, I researched all there was to know. When doing research I feel like
if they can’t back it up with science, it probably isn’t worth the money… am I
right?? TULA is founded by a gastroenterologist (a digestive tract doctor –
tummy doctor). I thought this was interesting and different, because every
single skincare product (Cetaphil being one of those) I have ever tried has
been created or sold to me by a dermatologist. Then I start wondering why would
an internal doctor create a skincare line when that isn’t even her field? What
she (link) noticed through all the discoveries she had made in the past few
years regarding how beneficial probiotics are for balancing the digestive
system, she started to apply these same discoveries with skincare. If you don’t
know probiotics not only help with your stomach but help with your skin. The
probiotics help balance your skin’s pH, reduces redness and inflammation, evens
out skin tones and textures, hydrates, and helps reduce wrinkles! You can read
more about this and the technology behind TULA here. {If you are skeptic
like I was go research it… I was the same way!}
I originally ordered the Purifying Face Cleanser,
Illuminating Face Serum, and the Hydrating Day & Night Cream to try out the
line. (I bought the entire process because I wanted to see what it would do to
my face when I only used their line.) One of the other bloggers I read posted a
discount code, so I thought why not just order it now! After just the first
time using the products, I noticed a difference the next morning… my skin
wasn’t greasy and I didn’t have to immediately wash it. My skin was so
moisturized and soft. Over the next two weeks, I can’t even tell you the
difference I saw not only that but people at work started to notice my skin.
Before I started using TULA, every morning I would wake up
with redness, uneven skin tones (especially under my eyes), and dry patches. I
would even second guess going on trips or spending the night places where
people would have to see me in the mornings without makeup. There were times I
can remember when I would wake up just to put concealer under my eyes, cover up
my blemishes, and put some powder on before everyone else got up. I didn’t want
people seeing my uneven skin. I started to just accept that this was how my
skin was going to be for the rest of my life since I had tried everything my
dermatologist had told me. But news flash this was not the case anymore!! My
skin is perfectly even, looks moisturized and fresh, and is soft!
Products
The face cleanser, serum, and the moisturizer cream have
been forever my favorite items to purchase because they are the ones I feel
have changed my skin. Since them, I have added in a lot more of the skincare
line to my daily skincare routine. I like routines that I can do the same both
morning and night because when I travel for work, I don’t have to bring a ton
of different products.
I can’t say enough great things about the TULA products!
They are gentle, great for all skin types and are free of parabens, mineral
oils, petrolatum, and phthalates, propylene glycol, which prevents clogged
pores, breakouts, and blackheads.
Routine
I start with the Purifying Facial Cleanser, which is an
all-in-one foaming wash. It removes all my makeup, cleanses pores, and
nourishes my skin. I don’t like using make-up wipes because I’ve read that
pulling or whipping your skin that way causes wrinkles and more dryness due to
the way you have to use the wipes.
I then apply about 1-2 pumps of the Illuminating Face Serum
all over my face. The serum contains a probiotic that boots dull looking skin,
helps to diminish the appearance of dark spots, and promotes a fresh, looking
glow.
Next apply the Hydrating Day & Night Cream all over your
face. This product is like a multivitamin for your face! It’s age-defying,
contains a probiotic, nourishes and hydrates your skin, and if used every day
it reduces the appearance of fine lines, which is perfect for us ladies who are
in our late twenties! During the summer I only applied it at night since my
skin is oilier during the summer rather than the wintery months.
Lastly, I pat a small amount of the Revitalizing Eye Cream
around my eye area. This is one of newest products that I’ve purchase, and I
can already notice a difference. Not only is it more moisturized under my eyes,
but my concealer actually goes over it evenly. This product is a hydrating
cream that is delicate for skin under and around your eyes, reduces fine lines,
dark circles, and puffiness. This product is amazing!
I feel really good about starting anti-aging products, before
I get more wrinkles, I hope this will prevent anymore fine lines that might be
coming my way! Once a week I do the Exfoliating Treatment Mask, it leaves my
skin so soft and smooth. It digs in a little deeper to wash away old skin cells
to hydrate your skin even more. I let it dry and stay on my face for about 5-10
minutes at night after I wash my face. Once I was off the mask, I continue my
skincare regimen from the Illuminating Serum down.
Review
I know TULA isn’t the least expensive skincare you can find,
but it gives better results than any other products I’ve tried! I know you are
like me and have many different products in your bathroom that are half-used.
When I buy new products I end up not loving something it, which is the reason I
felt like higher-end skincare wasn’t worth the price. I think my TULA products
are the first that I have actually ordered and used all of, and then ordered
more! If you haven’t already clicked on one of the links above and started
browsing you should really ready the reviews on each product. If you are
feeling skeptical like I was then that’s what you want to check out. Sorry if
this isn’t a post you are wanting to ready, but I feel like I need to tell the
whole world about TULA products!
If you would like one recommendation when starting this
amazing product… it would be starting out with the Discovery Kit! It is a trial
sized version of the Purifying Face Cleanser, Illuminating Face Serum,
Hydrating Day & Night Cream, and Revitalizing Eye Cream. ANNNNDDDD it’s only
$54. Then you will know what products are your favorite then order those in the
full-sized versions.
I’m curious to know what your favorite skincare products are
and if you have ever tried TULA products!!
