Hey loves! I hope you all are well, and that everyone on the East Coast is staying safe and recovering from Hurricane Sandy. I, once again, need to apologize for my lack of posting. I took a two week intensive class that met from 9-5 every day, then had a very busy week closing on a home I had renovated… basically everything that could have went wrong, did! THEN, Hurricane Sandy hit and I was without power, water and elevator service for a week. Since I live on the 24th floor with my two pups this was not fun at all. Thankfully, things are pretty much back to normal, in my building at least.
While all of this was going on, it didn’t stop me from trying out some new products 
. I started using Ole Henriksen’s Truth Serum Collagen Booster ($48 for 1 oz) a few weeks ago, every night. I had gotten a small sample over the summer from Sephora and tried it a few times, but found it too greasy for my skin. Now, though, the colder weather upon us has really dried out my skin and I was looking for something to use at night. It is described as a high potency Vitamin C complex that prevents and corrects signs of aging while producing brightness. It is an oil that you only need a TINY little bit of to use on your whole face, and it absorbs into my skin very quickly. I use a moisturizer over it every night. I am only 24 and don’t have many signs of aging yet, but I like the fact I am using a preventative product, although I can’t tell a difference yet I’m hoping years down the line it will be worth something. I do think this product has made my skin smoother and less dry, though. Also, the Truth Serum has calming properties that are for sensitive and irritation prone skin. And the fact that it is oil based but hasn’t led me to break out is a HUGE plus.
I am going to continue using this product. Since only a tiny bit is needed, this deluxe sample will last me a few months at least. Not sure if I will drop $48 for the full size. Why are most skin care products so pricey?! What do you guys think? Have you used this product? Do you like it? Do you pay these type of prices to keep your skin in tip-top shape? Talk to you all soon! XX
