You probably don't even know what esthetics is, unless I've told you. Most people can't even say it right.
Esthetics is the branch of spa and salon services that includes skin care, waxing, body treatments, and makeup. It's what I do. Sort of. It's what I went to school to do. And someday, hopefully in the near future, I will venture out of working retail and settle into a good job as an esthetician (I'm still licensed now even though I don't work in a spa... and I'm still going to work on the waxing business thingy).
Anyhow. I went to Walmart tonight by myself around midnight, which probably wasn't the safest thing to do, but whatever. I went. And I found myself gravitating towards the skin care aisle. It used to be that I could wander through the makeup aisles for forever, and I guess I could still do that now, but what really fascinates me now is the skin care aisle.
I wish I could try just about every product, every cleanser (gel cleansers, clay cleansers, foaming cleansers, anti-aging cleansers, acne-fighting cleansers), every toner/splash/astringent, every moisturizer, serum, eye cream, mask, sunscreen, scrub, EVERYTHING.
But, alas, I cannot. Not only does my budget not allow it, but my skin doesn't either. Anything too oily or too drying will drive my skin CRAZY.
BUT.
I found a face wash with bromelain in it. A mild, 100% natural face wash, filled with good stuff. Do you know how exciting it is to find bromelain in a Walmart face wash? Um, it's pretty much Christmas. You probably don't even know what bromelain is. It's pineapple enzyme, and it's super super good for your skin.
And there's more. The same line has an oil-free moisturizer with sodium PCA and hyaluronic acid in it! That stuff's super super good for your skin too.
If you're reading this and not an esthetician, you probably just think I am a total dork. But seriously, it's exciting.
Not only is this stuff super amazing for your skin, but it's not expensive, AND it smells AMAZING.
All I have to say is, it better freaking work.
