We’ve all had those days where we just don’t find the time to do a full 10-step skincare routine. Sometimes we just want a product or two that can do everything we need them to do for us, and minimize the time we spend getting ready in the morning. This is where the Laura Mercier Perfecting Water and the Mèreadesso Face + Neck Toning Gel come into play!

Laura Mercier Perfecting Water

What this product does is it temporarily over-hydrates your skin to help any moisturizers or serums better penetrate your skin. It also has other benefits such as rebuilding and repairing your skin’s surface layers, and minimizing the appearance of pores. Abundant in antioxidants, it helps to protect against everyday pollution and damage that your skin may face.

The ideal way to use this product is to saturate a cotton pad and gently dab or pat all over your face and neck, making sure to massage it in. Depending on your skin type, you can increase or decrease the amount of product you use on the cotton pad. If you have oily skin, then make sure to only use a small amount of it, as it can double as your moisturizer and you can skip using any other products. If you have normal, dry or dehydrated skin, use more of this product on your cotton pad and make sure to follow it with any other skincare products you use on a daily basis, such as a moisturizer and/or serum. Or in this case, make sure to follow it with the next product!

Mèreadesso Face + Neck Toning Gel

The story behind the Mèreadesso brand is an interesting one. It is based on minimizing the time a woman needs to get ready, as the many bottles, tubes and containers of products can get tiresome after a while and we do get lazy with taking care of ourselves (you know it’s true!) Thus, the idea behind it is to include every bit of goodness in one product, and have your skin take what it needs from it. This is where this gel plays an important role in complimenting the Perfecting Water.

After your skin has been temporarily over-hydrated by the Perfecting Water, apply the Toning Gel to your face and neck. This product is very rich in multi-vitamins, antioxidants and mineral supplements that your skin can greatly benefit from. It helps with tightening the skin on your face and neck, and has a nice light refreshing citrus scent. Your skin will love you for it since the Perfecting Water aids the Toning Gel in penetrating your skin even deeper than normal, making you look and feel fresh, even beneath the surface.

A Little Tip on Product Application

When applying any moisturizers or serums, always make sure to move from the sides of your mouth up and outwards towards your ears in one swiping motion. This prevents any fine lines or wrinkles from forming around the mouth area as well as fighting gravity from pulling your cheeks downwards. As for your neck, always go from the bottom up. Got to keep that gravity at bay!

Have you tried the two products together? What did you think? :)
