Finding the right skincare products in Northern Va. Reflections of You Fairfax

How many of us have purchased an over the counter facial product repetitively, to only be dissatisfied with the results? I can raise my hand to this. Our skin is so different and finding a product that actually works and is in our price range is difficult. Let me introduce you to Dr. Grandel, a German based skin care line centered on Epigran; a wheat germ based active ingredient. It instantly effects smoothes and tones the skin, refines its texture and reduces the depth of lines delivering intense hydration. I do not know about you, but it sounds like a nice ingredient to add to problem areas or to keep perfect skin even more fantastic! And before the words “sounds expensive” can reach your lips, let me tell you a little more about it.

Dr. Grandel offers fourteen different product lines. It is nearly impossible to find one NOT for your skin type. Dr. Grandel also never tests its products on animals. Only volunteer human testing is done here! Although all of the products are well worth the purchase, her are a couple that I find super amazing:

Let’s talk moisturizer, If you have been blessed with both sensitive and combination skin, I can understand your hesitation in purchasing a moisturizer. Most of the time moisturizers end up adding to our already oily t-zone,(Around the nose) and if we are really lucky, we can even find one that does not make our face break out. Dr Grandel Hydro Active balancer is a personal favorite here at Reflections of You. For only $36, this moisturizer targets combination skin, moisturizing and evening out the t-zones, areas prone to oil.

Now on to the face wash. If you are looking for a basic wash for your sensitive face, the Ultra Sensitive line does wonders. This hypersensitive fragrance-free line cleanses your face without the use of any colourants or preservatives; (which most drug-store products contain) for only $30.

With the cold weather coming up, our faces are begging to be moisturized. Dr Grandel’s Hydro Active moisture mask promises just that. This extraordinary beauty mask revitalizes the skin to a fresh smooth and young look in as little as three minutes! Go ahead, treat yourself, you deserve it! For only $36 what do you have to loose, except beautiful skin?

Now what about those stubborn breakouts? Dr Grandel’s spot-treatment pen is what I like to call “$26 magic.” Just apply to the problem area and voila! It makes your imperfections a thing in the past. Seriously, it works just like that.

I know I know, it might be kind of risqué to purchase a product triple your norm. But think about it, wouldn’t you want a prescribed product especially for your skin? And in reality, it is a great investment. Not only are you going to get the best results from a higher end more effective product, but you will also find yourself making less frequent trips to the store to purchase it! Dr. Grandel’s products believe in the term a little goes a long way.
