Dragon's Blood?!

I was lucky enough to try the newest skincare craze, Dragon's Blood! This anti aging ingredient "bleeds" out of the Sangre de Grado tree. But more importantly, you get to say that you cover your face in the blood of dragons.

If you're anything like me, you love your weekly scrubs. I spent a few weeks exfoliating with the Peter Thomas Roth Laser-Free Retexturizer 
This exfoliating scrub has very tiny jojoba beads, a product found in most scrubs that you already love. What sets this product apart, however, is the added glycolic acid! This penetrates the skin, allowing the jojoba beads to break apart the lipids found in your skin that hold the dead skin cells together.
It's like Breaking Bad. But on your face. Who knew?!
My skin felt insanely soft after using this! This was by far the most intensive scrub I've used, and that was exactly what I wanted. My skin felt refreshed, slightly tingly, and perfectly smooth after using this just once.

After exfoliating, it's crucial to apply a serum and moisturizer. This rebalances the PH of your skin.
I lathered on the Peter Thomas Roth Laser-Free Resurfacer. This serum also contains Dragon's Blood. I find that this really adds to the glow achieved with the Retexturizer. Follow with your favorite moisturizer and you're lookin' good!
