and my skin goes “AHHHH!”
Quick take: Here’s a hidden Clinique gem for any individual with red, irritated skin, or for any individual who simply loves creamy, moisturizing cleansers.

Usch. Red patches.

So not fun! I started using a retinol product about three months ago, which has also indicated that my skin freaks out every so typically and the aggressive exfoliation triggers these red patches to appear. and MAN, those spots hurt like a mutha.

Yesterday I took a walk around the neighborhood, and the red spots on my neck were so itchy and sensitive that I couldn’t even zip up my hoodie all the way. The fabric rubbing against my neck felt like straight-up fire on my skin.

Thank the appeal gods for Clinique Redness options Soothing Cleanser, which is one of those cleansers that’ll have your skin sighing with relief — AHHH! — after you wash your face.

It’s from the Clinique Redness options line, which is their calming and soothing skin care collection for people with Rosacea or “reactive redness,” which is when an event, like a sunburn, or certain medications or retinol, in my case, causes your skin to become red and inflamed.

It’s a gentle moisturizing cream cleanser, so no bubbles, and the moment that it hits my skin, my face and neck right away feel better…less itchy and tight, and just normally less angry. The smoothing “ahh!” effect lasts for hours afterwards, too, which I love.

If you wear minimal makeup, Redness options can also double as a makeup remover, but if you’re a “foundation, concealer and setting powder” kinda girl (or guy), I’d suggest using a separate makeup remover first (I like Fresh Seaberry), and then doing a second cleanse with Redness Solutions.

But even if you don’t have redness, and maybe just have sensitive skin and/or you like gentle, creamy cleansers, I still think you’ll like this, just because it’s so, so agreeable.

A big 5-oz. bottle is $23, and I like it so much that I’m carving out a permanent space for it in my skin care lineup. Such a hidden gem!

Let it gooooo

You’d think it would be essentially impossible for someone who spends a lot of days chillin’ with a theatrical tabby and a toddler to NOT have seen Disney’s Frozen until now, but I’m living proof that miracles can happen. We *just* enjoyed this movie, and now I get what all the fuss was about.

I’ve been blasting let It Go so much and so loudly that I’m pretty sure my neighbors have also memorized the lyrics, ha ha!
