Marissa's Second Week with the Summer Box

Marissa has normal to oily skin wih hormonal breakouts and the first signs of aging. She lives in San Jose, CA which is hot (80-90 degrees during the day) and dry in the summer.

General Impressions

Summer is usually very busy for me so I like how theSummer Box has simplified my day time routine. I pretty much just use what’s in the box with a couple of staples and spf. Even cutting my AM regimen in half, I feel adequately hydrated and my skin looks refreshed. Not to mention that all the crisp scents of theSummer Box products really wake me up! Peppermint, strawberry, coconut, cucumber...it’s such a wonderful way to start the day.

Changes I’ve seen

I don’t need a moisturizer! This box is an oily skin type’s dream. I feel comfortable all day without adding a facial oil or cream moisturizer. My hormonal acne seems to be healing at a faster rate.

Overall thoughts

I’m really excited to see how much more I can simplify my routine! I like only spending a few minutes on my morning routine because Morning Madness is one of the busiest times of my day. PLUS  it leaves more time for masking.
