Products for Textured Skin | Gatineau Skincare

I turned 32 this week (eek) but the only thing I have been loving as I am getting older is my skin. I have become more confident, happy and educated about my skin and its needs than before. I have Combination skin prone to clogging which can be dealt with regular exfoliation and using products that are absorbed into skin without just sitting on top. My major skincare concern has always been texture and large pores ( thanks to teenage acne) but I have recently discovered couple of products which have been helping me so much. Nothing makes me happier than sharing these two gems with you!

Products for improving skin texture - Gatineau Skincare Review

This is a pearlescent gel that liquefies when massaged into dry skin to release special exfoliating active ingredients, enzymes and AHA’. This Gommage gently removes impurities and helps brighten the complexion. This is designed for all skin types specially Sensitive skin.

This enzymatic exfoliant has been formulated without any granules, and with the help of special enzymes it cleverly melts away dead skin cells upon application without the need for vigorous rubbing. This unique exfoliator begins with a luxurious balm-like consistency, transforming into a soft nourishing oil as it gently dissolves outermost layer of the skin.
