What a whirlwind life is! What a blessing to have a three year old and a five year old. What a blessing to have a job that keeps you traveling. In September I have been to Chicago, Atlanta, Nashville, soccer games every Monday, Thursday and Saturday and dance every Tuesday. It’s a busy life and it’s a short life. The days are long but the years are short. Don’t remember which patient told me that when she saw my pregnant belly six years ago but that might have been the truest statement I have ever heard. Although I might not have set aside time to blog in September I definitely set aside time to try out some new products and for the first time in a while I have noticed a significant change in my skin so I HAD to share with you! These have been my recent game changers.

1. Accumax. I am someone with acne prone skin. God given acne prone skin. Girl, I’m in Dermatology and ain’t nobody in derm got time for acne, nobody! I use my retinol like I use toothpaste-never forget. This month I added Jane Iredales supplement Accumax 2 pills in the AM and 2 at night and it has changed my acne game. My skin is overall smoother and much less prone to acne. Highly recommend. Not an antibiotic, safe as long as not pregnant.
2. Colorscience total eye. Now it’s thick. If you don’t use concealer this may not be your bestie. But if you use eye cream and concealer you can now put those in one step. It has the best applicator that cools the undereyes in the AM and wakes you up. It’s has sunscreen to protect too! It’s a 3 in 1 product and is my new go-to everyday during my get ready routine. Check out the details on our product highlights on IG.
3. Lumivive. It’s the newest product from SkinMedica. It’s a two product packaged deal. There is a day and a night. The day protects you from blue light and considering that’s what comes off your iPad and phones if you’re reading this you need it. It’s very thin so you won’t feel like you’re adding a product but your skin will be happier and in turn I got a new glow up! The night helps restore your skin as you sleep. This allows your current products to be amped up. When I started accumax I got a little peely, red and inflamed. I started the Lumivive and it restored my skin to a very happy place. After a month of use my skin is glowing like never before AND I know I’m a step ahead of all my friends. I know that in 10 years when I go to my high school reunion they will all be 10 years of blue light protection behind me. So my skin will be healthier appearing. They will have brown spots and wrinkles that I won’t. We all know it’s a competition for who has the best skin and I’m in it to win it! If you feel like your skin regimen needs a pick me up then try Lumivive. It won’t disappoint.

Here is my one month change in my skin, always getting better! One step closer to aging backwards! Want to age backwards with me? E-mail brooke@johnsondermatology.com for a free consult and to learn more about my September Favs and more!
