Michael Todd True Organics became sort of a YouTube "sensation" with a lot of beauty gurus about 6-8 months ago. I instantly ordered a regimen set to see what all the buzz was about and I have been hooked ever since.
I wanted to share my holy grail products from this line because I think everyone should know how amazing these products are!!!
I use this during the night time as my initial makeup removal cleanser. It takes everything off and I like the fact that it is a "detoxifying" cleanser catering to people with acne-prone skin. It isn't drying at all and washes away easily. I like to really massage this in my skin with my hands to get the detoxifying effects. This is how I prep my skin for the rest of my cleansing routine. After rinsing it all off, I follow up with my
Olay Pro X cleansing brush (aka Clarisonic dupe... to me anyway, but that't a whole different post) with my
Peter Thomas Roth Beta Hydroxy Acid cleanser if my skin has been breaking out.
After the Charcoal cleanser, and if my skin is normal and has no blemishes, I will use the Honey and Oat cleanser with my Olay Pro X cleansing brush to exfoliate and to deep clean my pores. I use this as my morning cleanser as well. It is super gentle, smells refreshing, and rinses away easily. It's just your basic cleanser that has really great ingredients. I think it is suited for all skin types. It is moisturizing enough for people with dry skin, but not so heavy that people with acne/oily/combo skin wouldn't be able to use. (For reference, I am acne prone, combo skin on certain days, and extremely flaky dry skin on others- it can be a nightmare). This cleanser is great overall and I can't imagine using a different one, literally, ever again.
I never was a believer in toners, and I always thought they were more problematic than helpful. I mainly thought this because of the alcohol content that is in most toners. (Alcohol is drying and causes your skin to produce more oil to compensate, causing you to become more acne prone, and the spiraling goes on...) When I found out that this toner is moisturizing, contains no alcohol, and has antibacterial properties to deter acne, I had to try it. I use this morning and night and I truly believe it helps prevent acne and preps my skin for moisturizers.
If you are looking for a moisturizer that is light, yet extremely moisturizing, and is packed with amazing ingredients that feed the health of your skin- this is it! The smell is a mix of citrus and herbs and at first sniff, you might not like it. It is definitely an acquired scent. I have grown to love the scent and I really can't use anything else now. I used to have extremely dry and flaky skin around my mouth and chin area. I tried EVERYTHING to heal it. I even used La Mer Creme and failed miserably. I use this in the daytime under make up, and I also massage into my skin at night. It definitely will work with all the other products in the line to give you an inner glow.
This mask is AMAZING. My face is glowing after I wash this off and looks like I have a full face of foundation on. This really evens out my skin tone and the effects of it last until the morning and throughout the day after. I use this mask twice a week and it is great at preventing acne. The consistency of this mask is unlike any other. Along with the rest of the products I've mentioned, it is moisturizing- yet would be ok to use for oily/acne prone skin. It doesn't prevent acne by drying out the skin like most acne clearing products do- benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid. It is just jam packed with ingredients and anti bacterial properties that heal the skin and feed the skin.
So all in all- Michael Todd True Organics products are TRULY amazing. The skin problems I mentioned in this post (extreme dry skin, acne prone, combo/oily skin) has been alleviated by using all these products. Of course, this might not work for every one, as everyone's skin reacts differently. I just know that I've been using these products religiously for the last 6-8 months and I don't plan on looking for anything to replace them- like ever. My skin has never been better and I am confident that my skin is being "fed" the right things. I love that their products are mostly organic. The price point is just right and they are always offering discounts (I've never paid full price!).
They have skincare lines that cater to all different skin types. They offer sets so you can try out a little bit of everything for cheaper. Check it out!!! I know you won't be disappointed!!! :)
