Brush me off, please.

I have some sun discoloration on my face that I’ve long wished would go away.

My dermatologist gave me some Retin A over a year ago. He told me it might be 6 months before I noticed any kind of improvement. He was right… It took a loooong time, but there was indeed mild improvement. Too much time though, not enough results.

A few months ago, I splurged and decided to go to a local spa for a microdermabrasion treatment in hopes faster acting treatment.

The treatment worked mildly well. I was told a series of microdermabrasion treatments would produce more results, and that a chemical peel would work even better.

I’ll save my chemical peel story for another time, being kinda sleepy and all, but what I DO want to share right now is that I had a follow up facial after having had that peel. The aesthetician used a Clarisonic brush on my face.

It was absolute bliss! The massaging and brushing action really seemed to wake up and stimulate my face in oh-so good ways.

I decided I must have one. They aren’t cheap though, averaging around $195. I decided to put it on my Christmas wish list and dream.

I’ve received a few online coupon codes for various stores that carry it. Then, I received a 20% off code for Sephora AND saw they currently have a special bundled purchase which includes a $96 full sized bottle of Kinerase C6 Peptide Intensive Treatment for free! I swooped in for the kill. I’ve never tried this Kinerase product, but it’s hard to imagine going wrong with anything from the Kinerase line.

When I told Tim he could consider himself having gotten my Christmas present, I was pleasantly surprised with his response. “REALLY?!?! Oh, Sweetie, you must REALLY love me!!!” and gave me a big hug.

It should be arriving on Tuesday. Yay!

I’m SO thoughtful. :p
