 I’ve known about Liz Earle Intensive Nourishing Treatment Mask for awhile  but did not test it out until a few weeks ago. I love the Liz Earle line, and I adore their Brightening Mask, so I was keen to try the Nourishing Treatment Mask when it was sent to me.

Liz Earle Intenstive Nourishing Treatment Mask is fantastic. It makes skin sooooo soft and evens out skintone issues due to dryness/redness in ten minutes flat. I love that you can move around in the mask too – it’s not like many facial masks that if you move, goop is going to get everywhere. It stays in place while you talk, move around, or just sit back with your eyes closed.

On cold morning when I’d rather stay under the warm covers, I’ve taken to negotiating with myself – I keep the mask on my nightstand, and when the alarm goes off and the urge to go back to sleep hits, I smooth the mask on. It feels good, so being awake is a little more tolerable. And it eventually gets me out of bed since I have to wash it off in 10-15 minutes.

I’m also a big fan of what Nourishing Treatment Mask does for throat skin – the mask makes throat skin soft, smooth and radiant. If you are in your early thirties, throat skin is one of those thing that you don’t notice as not looking like it did when you were 18 until you do something about it, and then you remember how good an area like your throat looked when you were younger. Much like foundation, facial masks shouldn’t stop at your jawline – make sure to give your thin neck skin the good treatment you give your face. And since Liz Earle Intensive Nourishing Treatment Mask contains Borage Oil to hydrate, it’s an ideal mask for throat and neck use!

The mask comes with one of Liz Earle’s amazing muslin cloths to wash it off with. I adore these muslin clothes – I would fill my closet with them if I could! They remove the mask cleanly and gently.

I really like using the mask after at-home glycolic peels. It hydrates the freshly exposed skin and soothes any irritation. And given that glycolic peels aren’t  Then just wash it off, apply moisturizer, and admire your radiant skin!

Liz Earle Intensive Nourishing Treatment Mask really is fantastic. I really love the Liz Earle line, so expectations are always high when I try a new product of theirs. Nourishing Treatment Mask exceeded my expectations and I’ll definitely continue to use it…especially on mornings that require extreme self-negotiation to get up…

Brazilian Peel Full Sized

Dr. LeWinn by Kinerase Skin Tone Perfecting Serum XK

And if, like me, you are a long-term retinol user, it can be a double-edged sword: retinols lighten age spots, but they also increase photosensitivity. So, it’s possible to end up with some skin tone variance that you’d prefer to get rid of regardless of whether you use retinols or not.

There are several excellent products on the market right now to combat hyperpigmentation. I was thrilled to try out Dr. LeWinn by Kinerase Skin Tone Perfecting Serum XK, another great product in the Dr. LeWinn by Kinerase line. This is a reasonably priced serum that produced jaw-dropping results.

When I first starting testing Skin Tone Perfecting Serum out, I put it on and a few hours passed. When I went by a mirror, I noticed my skin was tighter and more dewy. On the third night, I noticed an ever so slight lightening of a dark spot on my cheekbone. I thought I was imaginging things – it just seemed far too soon to have any effect. But sure enough, over the course of the next two weeks, the spot continued to lighten (I’d estimate about 10% in the 14 days) and is progressively lightening still. I’m really excited to see over time how much change occurs. On the whole, my skin seems far more even, including in spots where I don’t have obvious hyperpigmentation issues – my skin looks a bit airbrushed before I even put a speck of makeup on!

Skin Tone Perfecting Serum has great ingredients: Kinetin, the staple of the Kinerase and Dr. LeWinn by Kinerase line, the oh so hydrating hyaluronic acid, Sepiwhite MSH, which is a pigmentation inhibitor, Sepivinol, a potent anti-oxidant, and SymWhite, an effective skin lightener that targets UV-induced skin pigmentation. That’s a great lineup for a great price.

Skin Tone Perfecting Serum XK has made it into my daily routine. I think I”ve found the perfect non-irritating hyperpigmentation sacking combon: I use Caudalie Vinoperfect Radiance Serum in the morning under makeup, Dr. LeWinn by Kinerase Skin Tone Perfecting Serum XK at night under moisturizer, and Retin-A a few nights a week (right now my skin gets irritated if I use Retin-A more than that), and my skin is getting all the more even day by day.

Dr. Lewinn by Kinerase HydraBalance Foaming Cleanser

And then I found Dr. LeWinn by Kinerase HydraBalance Foaming Cleanser.

Based on past experiences, I generally shy away from foaming cleansers since the ones I’ve tried tend to be drying. However, I have used Kinerase products for years now, so I had hope that their mass market line in connection with Dr. LeWinn would live up to it’s claim of being not just non-drying, but hydrating. And it does. My skin is soft, hydrated, and bright after cleansing. And as far as taking off makeup? It is exceptional. No scrubbing needed, it just takes everything off on both face and delicate eye skin. I’ve been using a liquid liner lately that is fabulous, but it is pretty tough to take off at the end of the day. Hydrabalance Foaming Cleanser takes it off easily and with no tugging. Yay!

HydraBalance Foaming Cleanser is soap-free, which will make your dermatologist happy (mine was the one who turned me on to the Kinerase line in the first place years ago). But I can’t say enough how well it cleanses while it treats the skin with great ingredients like Kinetin (which is in the whole Dr. LeWinn by Kinerase line in the same amounts as the regular Kinerase line). I’ve tried products from both the Kinerase line and other lines that contain Kinetin, and they are always so soothing to the skin. It encourages cellular turnover without irritation – a great alternative to retinoids. It also contains SK-Influx to protect your skin’s moisture barrier, and Aquaxyl to hydrate the skin. All in all, a great way to start your skincare for the day and end it at night.

In an act of sisterly love, I let Lyn use the cleanser, and her comments were interesting – she said that she’s never used a foaming cleanser that felt soft. She hit the nail on the head – there is something that feels kind of rough about most foaming cleansers, but HydraBalance Foaming Cleanser isn’t that way. It is gentle, soft, and luxurious feeling. I’ve been using it with my Clarisonic – it feels like a spa cleansing!

I’m pretty thrilled with this cleanser. We’ll be reviewing other products from the Dr. LeWinn by Kinerase line in the upcoming weeks (spoiler alert: Skin Tone Perfecting Serum is so effective it’s kinda spooky), and I will purchase HydraBalance Foaming Cleanser in the future. And since my derm loves the regular KInerase line, I can’t wait to tell her about this very affordable and very effective new line!

Find Dr. LeWinn by Kinerase HydraBalance Foaming Cleanser at Walgreens for $10.49.

This works best if you have a prescription retinol at home (Retin-A, Retin-A Micro, Renova, etc), but any cream that has retinol in it will do. Wash your face and wait about a half hour. Apply the retinol – if you are using Retin-A and typically use a pea-sized amount, and use a little extra. Let it soak in for a few minutes. The add a deep hydrating mask or cream over the retinol – we like CeraVe Moisturizing Cream or  Caudalie Vinosource Moisturizing Cream-Mask Face and Eyes. To make sure that your skin is more dewy that flakey the next day, really slather on the moisturizer. Leave it on overnight, and wash it off in the morning (try using a Clarisonic for extra smoothness). Your skin will be glowing and bright all weekend long!

Now, obviously retinols are a long-term skincare commitment, but if your skin needs a little extra boost after a long week, this mask does the trick!
