Friends, I think I’ve mentioned once or twice that I’m a new mom… well, newish at this point, and I gotta tell you that my child sleeps like a baby… which basically means that she doesn’t. So five months in and the lack of sleep is starting to show on my skin. I can cover up dark circles like the best of them, but what to do about that loss of glow?
Turns out that there’s an answer out there, and it doesn’t involve any drastic measures. Basically, Kiehl’s sent me and Cheryl their Midnight Recovery Complex, and I figured that since I’m up at midnight every night, this would be the thing for me to try.
It’s a super-light blend of essential oils that are rich in moisture and Omega 6’s so they can replenish depleted skin. The scent, like all Kiehl’s products, is amaaaazing. The lavender stands out and is so calming and relaxing, and I’m convinced that the scent also had an effect on my skin one way or another.
Long story short, though I already have oily skin, I smoothed this oil on to my skin every night before bed, and yes, I woke up with radiant and more luminous skin. It just had that glow. It looked fresh, despite the fact that sleep patterns haven’t really changed.
The one or two drops I use on my skin absorbed quickly and the serum almost felt like a dry oil going on. I didn’t have greasy skin thanks to this oil, and it just left my skin comfortably moisturized. You might also be interested in reading Cheryl’s review of it here.
