From Grumpy to Glowing: Treating My Skin To The Estee Lauder Nutritious Collection
Recently, I had the delightful opportunity to experience the latest Estee Lauder Nutritious Collection, a fresh release in the Philippines just a few months back. Before you ask, it's not a rehash of the 2015 Nutritious Collection, despite the name's familiarity! This revamped lineup is encased in sleek, minimalist packaging, adorned with a subtle and elegant pink gradient that captures the eye. The containers have a substantial, quality feel in the hand, yet they exude a playful, youthful charm when sitting on the vanity. I'm thrilled to take you through a tour of this exciting line!
The Estee Lauder New Nutritious Collection is like a soothing balm for what I like to call 'grumpy skin' - you know, the kind that throws tantrums now and then, showing up as redness, oiliness, dullness, irritation, tightness, imbalance, dehydration, or pronounced pores. It's a refreshingly basic routine designed to tackle these common skin woes.
At the heart of this collection is the Nutri-9 Complex, a meticulously crafted cocktail of skin-loving nutrients. This includes the likes of Sweet Kelp, Red Algae Ferment, and Coconut Water Ferment – all stars in their own right for skin health. The collection's primary goals? To calm redness, shrink those pesky pores, and keep oiliness in check.
On those days when my skin decides to check off 7 out of the 8 signs of a bad skin day, I find this routine to be a potential savior.
Kicking off the routine with the Estee Lauder Nutritious 2-in-1 Foam Cleanser (P1,950) sets the tone for a skincare regimen that's both luxurious and effective. This versatile cleanser, used both in the morning and at night, doubles up as a weekly mask – talk about multi-tasking!
Now, I'm usually a bit wary of cleansers that don't explicitly mention being "low-pH," as I'm all for maintaining that crucial skin balance. However, I was pleasantly surprised to find that this one doesn't leave my skin feeling parched. A quick note though: I keep its application brief, just a couple of minutes. When used as a weekly mask, I did find it slightly drying, so I prefer to stick to its primary use as a cleanser.
What really stands out for me is the feeling post-cleanse. It leaves my skin feeling impeccably clean without that uncomfortable, tight sensation often associated with cleansers that are too harsh.
Moving on to the second step, we have the Estee Lauder Nutritious Radiant Essence Lotion (P2,850). This product is a true multitasker in your skincare arsenal, designed to be applied right after cleansing. Its main goals? To hydrate, minimize redness, and restore balance to your skin.
One of the unique aspects of this lotion is its versatility. It's not just your regular post-cleansing hydrator; it can also be transformed into a DIY mask. Just grab some cotton pads or compressed masks, and you're all set for an extra hydration boost.
The texture and feel of this lotion are what really set it apart. It strikes the perfect balance - providing ample hydration without leaving a greasy feel. It's got a certain weight to it that reassures you of its nourishing properties, yet it's not overwhelming. It makes sense why Estee Lauder has chosen to label it as a 'lotion' rather than a toner. It's richer, more substantial, and definitely a step-up in the hydration game.
Concluding the Estee Lauder Nutritious routine is the Melting Soft Creme/Mask (P3,950). It's designed to refine skin texture, fortify the skin barrier, and, of course, provide that essential hydration. Staying true to the collection's theme of versatility, this creme doubles as a weekly leave-on mask. The application is a breeze – just spread a thin layer, wait for 5 minutes, and then gently wipe it off with a tissue. It's this kind of flexibility that really makes a product stand out in a crowded skincare market.
But what I adore most about this moisturizer is its consistency. It's thick, yes, but don’t let that fool you – it's far from heavy. It has this luxurious texture that holds its own (no sliding off your hand here), yet it melts into the skin with such ease. It's good for those who want the benefits of a rich cream without the weightiness.
Overall, my dry and dehydrated skin certainly enjoys the Estee Lauder New Nutritious Collection. After consistently using this routine, the transformation is noticeable – my skin is definitely less grumpy! But, to elevate this routine from just calming mood swings to achieving a truly radiant complexion, I've added a secret weapon: the Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair.
When integrated into the Nutritious Collection routine, it works wonders. It's not just about hydration and soothing anymore; it's about unlocking that elusive glow and deep nourishment. With this power-packed duo, I wake up to skin that looks and feels rejuvenated – glowing, nourished, and ready to face the day. It's a combination that my skin absolutely adores, and I think yours might too!
