I have been on the search for the perfect skin care line for years; unfortunately, I was “blessed” with extremely sensitive skin; it is not uncommon for me to break out or develop a rash from most facial products and/or make-up.

When I got the opportunity to try out Luxtural’s three-step program- mystique foundation (facial deep hydrating rainy mist), sophisticated veil (facial anti-aging deep moisturizing serum), and silk premonition (facial deep moisturizing anti-aging lotion); I was definitely up for the challenge, considering the products were hypoallergenic and natural.

Going forth with a positive attitude, to my dismay, my skin started to get dry within two days of trying the product. I decided to ignore the red rash on my cheeks and continue using it; still keeping my positive attitude intact. Four days into use, the redness started getting worse- my cheeks itched and looked like I was constantly blushing.

At that point, I gave up. In light of my situation, I did like the mystique foundation; my face felt cool and refreshed when applying the mist. The best part is that the mist can be applied over make-up; however, I could not continue use of any of the products.

Even though Luxtural didn’t give me the results I wanted, I needed a second opinion considering it had nothing to do with the product, just my skin condition. My fellow Beauty Chatter, Elana, decided to give Luxtural a shot.

Here is what she had to say:

“My skin is normal-to-oily, rarely reacting negatively with new skincare — this is true when I started using Luxtural. Versus trying the collection by itself, I did mix it up with my other lines. I liked the idea of easing new products into my regimen. So far, it’s refreshing and didn’t leave my skin overly dry, which is great for nighttime use. I hate going to sleep with dried-out skin! Plus, the cute tubes are perfect amongst my plethora of products.”

I think that our two different experiences with this product show that there is not one skin care line that will work for everyone.
