Get Back To School Ready with the Mary Kay NEW ClearProof Acne System!

I have never struggled with Acne, although I have always struggled with oily skin and problematic blemishes. Skin imperfections can really make me feel self-conscious and I have been searching for solutions for my skin issues. For you ladies out there...it seems that around "that time of the month", our skin can look especially scary and rough so I always dread that. When you have teenagers, it seems that having a clear complexion is almost as important as popularity because, after all, acne can be a real turn off when it comes to having friends. Because I was home schooled, I never felt the hurt and inconsideration of peers when it came to my skin so it never really effected me like it can effect some teens. However, there will be many teens and young adults returning to school this fall with acne and if not treated, it could lead to a devastating and lonely year for them.

Well, as usual, Mary Kay has thought through the Acne issue and has come up with a fantastic line of products to aid in the treatment and further prevention of Acne and is a necessity when thinking about your back to school beauty regimen. The all NEW ClearProof Acne System is a series of products that target Acne and reduce the horrible signs of this condition.  Here is a bit more information about this revolutionary product...

The ClearProof Acne System:

• Helps to maintain a clear complexion
• Unclogs pores, removes excess oil and leaves skin feeling healthier
• Fades the look of lingering acne spots                          
• Designed for both men and women, from teens to 50 year old adults
• Mild enough to use every day

I have noticed that with other clarifying products I have used on my face they tend to dry out and seem harsh on the skin. This presents a very different result and I was excited to try it out.

So, for this review I was sent a $20 trial size set of ClearProof Acne System to try out and I wanted to share my thoughts on this product with all of you! I was also sent two other Mary Kay products as well...Mary Kay® NouriShine Plus® Lip Gloss in Rock 'n' Red and Mary Kay® Lash Love® Lengthening™ Mascara.

First and foremost, I have always loved the Mary Kay Lash Love Mascara...it is easy to use, non-clumping and makes my eyelashes look oh so full and gorgeous. The lengthening factor is a nice feature for someone with short eyelashes, but I have pretty long eyelashes to begin with so I don't notice much of a difference when using this mascara as opposed to the other mascaras. All of Mary Kay's mascaras are luscious so it is hard to pick a favorite. 

Oh goodness...Rock 'n' Red is SO red...hahaha! I am sure it looks amazing on the right person but with my ghostly white skin, it is a bit shocking. Mary Kay NouriShine Plus Lip Gloss is wonderful as a whole. I have several and I use them often. My favorites are the pink toned ones and the Cafe au Lait has to be my absolute favorite. Smooth and creamy, the NouriShine Plus Lip Glosses are fantastic and really do add a nice finish to any makeup look that you may choose. 

I was very VERY pleased to have the opportunity to sample the Mary Kay NEW ClearProof Acne System and was even more satisfied with the results. I first started with the ClearProof Clarifying Cleansing Gel. All I did was apply a thin layer to my entire face and then rinsed it off. My skin immediately felt clean and clear. I have really large pores on my nose and they typically harbor quite a bit of dirt. I was really pleased to see that those pores were clear...at last! Once I finished cleansing my skin, I applied some of the Acne Treatment Gel. This gel is thin in consistency and dries very quickly. I was really surprised that it didn't leave a filmy layer on my skin given the fact that it was a gel. 

The Blemish Control Toner contains salicylic acid and really adds a great feel to the skin once applied. It smells like any other toner you might use and it feels so refreshing. Typically, when I use a toner (which I haven't in a very long time) my skin feels tight. However, this toner actually left my skin feeling soft. I loved that. The only thing left to try was the Oil Free Moisturizer and was wonderful as well. All of these products are pretty much fragrance free and while I love scented beauty products, I was not at all disappointed with this ClearProof Acne System. 

So, the next time someone comes to me complaining of an Acne problem with them or someone they know, I will definitely recommend this Acne System to them. I am very happy with how my skin looks and feels after using these products and as always, Mary Kay is simply my favorite company for all of my beauty needs!
