L’Bri

I was recently given the opportunity to try some of the L’Bri skin care products.  These were sent to me by Judy Alders, and I would like to thank her for the opportunity and for being so patient with me on posting this review.

I received the sample set for combination skin.  Each of the skin care sets come with a Cleanser, Freshener, and Moisturizer.  The one I received came with a sample size of each of these, and a small packet of Exfoliating Facial Scrub and a Facial Mask.  All of these samples were in a nice clear small plastic carrying case trimmed in black.

Before I started using the L’Bri samples, I did some reading on the products.  According to the information that comes with the products, L’Bri does not contain waxes, mineral oil, petrolatum, lanolin oil, drying alcohols, synthetic fragrances or artificial dyes.

The first step in the daily skin care system is the cleanser.  The sample set I received included a deep pore cleanser.  After using this cleanser, my first opinion was that my skin felt just a little dry.  However, I am used to using cleansers that claim to have a moisturizer included in them instead of a three step system.  This cleanser does not have a moisturizer included in it because it is a separate step.  My skin also felt very clean, and I am sure that the reason it felt somewhat dried out was simply because the oil and dirt had been removed.

The next step is a Freshener.  According to the information included, the Freshener is to “restore proper pH balance and prepare your skin to absorb moisture.”  It really basically feels as if you are getting your skin wet, but then it leaves your skin with a nice fresh clean feeling.

The last step of the daily skin care routine is the Moisturizer.  I would recommend having your fingers damp as you are applying this because the moisturizer feels thick and wet fingers allow it to go on smoother.  This moisturizer left my skin feeling smooth all day long.  I also found that I didn’t have those annoying “greasy” spots throughout the day.  (You know what I mean.)

Throughout the time that I was using the three step daily skin care set, I also used the Exfoliating Facial Scrub and the Facial Mask.  The Exfoliating Facial Scrub says to use it two to three times a week “to remove tired, dull surface cells and imbedded impurities.”  It is to be used after the Cleanser and before the Freshener.  The Scrub feels like a lotion with little pieces of hard things in it.  (I’m not sure how else to describe it.)  However, when you are rubbing it on your face, it does not hurt or scratch the skin.  As I mentioned above, my skin already felt clean after using the Cleanser.  I cannot say that it felt cleaner after using this, because I’m sure most of you would think that it was all in my head.  However, this is a nice step to include a couple of times a week.  The Facial Mask also says to use after the Cleanser and before the Freshener.  I used this on a different day than I used the Exfoliating Facial Scrub.  This has to be applied and then allowed to dry for 15 minutes.  I must admit that I’ve never used a Facial Mask before.  So my little warning may seem funny to those of you who have.  This dries very stiff!  As I said, this may seem funny that I said that because I have been told that facial masks always dry stiff.  I received an important call while I had the Facial Mask on.  The area around my mouth was so stiff that I could barely move my mouth enough to talk.  The person on the phone kept asking me to repeat everything.  It was actually very funny now that I think about it.

Anyway, back on topic.  I used the L’Bri natural skin care products for a week.  Overall, I found that they are very nice products and definitely worth trying.  My skin appeared very clean and felt very fresh and smooth.  The opinion and results on the combined system is definitely more important than an opinion of each separate product because the items are made to be used together and not individually or combined with products from different lines.
