Since getting myself stuck in this cast, washing my face has been a new challenge. I'm a little bit of a clean freak, and somehow washing my face with only my weaker left hand just doesn't cut it. I need the scrubbing power of that stronger right arm!

So I've been supplementing with Estee Lauder Idealist Pore Minimizing Skin Refinisher. I've been using it every day since last Tuesday and my face already feels smoother and looks brighter. Idealist has totally eliminated the flakiness and roughness that I normally would have blasted away with a scrub, and the pores around my nose now look smaller and tighter. Idealist uses glucosamine and antioxidants to dissolve horrid pore-clogging junk and do away with dead skin cells - and believe me, it works.

Plus, my face just feels cleaner after I use it.

And it smells good!

I love the results from Idealist so much that I'm definitely going to keep using it, even after I can resume washing and exfoliating at my normal strength. Its pretty aqua glass bottle deserves a spot right next to it cousin, Advanced Night Repair, in the skincare Hall of Fame!
