I wouldn't worry, Christine. I had a bumpy ride but since then the skincare has launched which works such wonders. I was doing OCM with neat jojoba oil - in itself, good enough. Far superior and oh so much gentler on the skin is the new SN Apricot Cleansing Oil. Essentially, it's all the deep pore cleansing goodness of a "proper" OCM (which so many people do incorrectly and make matters worse) but with SN's Apricot Cleansing Oil, it simply rinses off because it's got an emulsifier in it! Effortless! You can feel it working as you massage it on - the gritty bits are the pore plugs coming away and the dead skin cells loosening. No hot water buffing cloths to scour away the oils, just a warm rinse. Trauma-free!
Follow that with the Pore Reducing Toner if you like and a highly hydrating gentle serum like Green Tea & Aloe to rehydrate the skincells and that in turn strengthens the skin as a tissue so that the pores function properly - job done. You might still get a milder purge if your skin is reactive - that's not uncommon when you change from one brand to another as the skin flushes out the residue of the old brand. But I can't say strongly enough how helpful, healing and gentle
and critically, how effective the SN skincare is. There will always be someone who can't use something because of allergies, but generally, these things do so much good that it's well worth sticking with for great results. Hope that reassures you.
but I've dealt with much worse, I'd swear to it. I think that I need to get a few new brushes from here then for sure if you're saying the EDM brushes are harsh in comparison (which I've always had a nagging suspicion was the case).
I love the way SN feels on my skin also and am in total love with the new luxury treatment powder.
