Mario Badescu Special Cucumber Lotion
$15.00 by Mario Badescu at Nordstrom
Every Fashion Week, my skin hits the repeat button. Repeat pimples, repeat blackheads, repeat freakouts. Right before Fashion Week started, I received a large delivery of Mario Badescu products to try. I'm always skeptical of skincare, but I decided to give it a fair shake. After all, I believed nothing was going to be worse for my skin than a week of constant stress & poor diet.
I cannot believe how far I was from wrong. I've never been a toner kind of girl. When I worked for Lancome, they "stressed" the importance of a toner to reset the ph balance of your skin, but the cynic in me thought they just wanted to sell another item. Typically, toners are full of alcohol and harsh ingredients that end up exacerbating the bumps and redness I already had. Mario Badescu's Special Cucumber Lotion to heal current blemishes and prevent new ones through the dynamic duo of sulphur and cucumber.
What I love most (aside from the fact that it works) is that I can continue using this product after my sample runs out. Why? Because it's an affordable $15 for 8 oz. Beauty may be a luxury, but in this case it's a luxury you can afford.
