It has taken me a few years to learn this, but investing in high-quality products is oftentimes worth the money! Especially when those high-quality products help you to invest in yourself, your health, and your skin! DRMTLGY focuses on creating high-end skincare without the high-end price tag. They only use the purest, safest, most clinically-proven active ingredients available. This should be on the top of your list of things to do before turning 30!

Why DRMTLGY

I love DRMTLGY because they focus on two things-anti aging and acne. As a 13-year-old, I never would have imagined I would be struggling with acne as I headed into my 30s, but here I am! Hello, monthly breakouts. With DRMTLGY, I can use my anti-aging regiment 75 percent of the time and my acne formula as needed when those breakouts pop up. Experts actually recommend that you start using anti-aging products in your 20s, so don’t wait!

Anti-Aging

Make sure to check out the DRMTLGY website for all the details on this product. They go in-depth about the ingredients, directions for use, skin types it works best on, etc. I tried the 4 piece DRMTLGY anti-aging kit which is clinically proven to improve signs of aging by visibly reducing the severity of deep wrinkles and diminishing the appearance of fine lines.

DRMTLGY’s Comprehensive Acne System effectively eliminates acne by treating existing blemishes and preventing future breakouts. When used as a daily regimen, this 3-step medical-grade system works in synergy to clear skin imperfections leaving the skin looking healthy.

In this kit you get 3 full-size bottles:

  1. Gentle Acne Cleanser
  2. Tri-Active Acne Pads
  3. 24 Hour Acne Serum

This product is safe to be used twice a day (or as directed by your doctor). Because of my sensitive skin, I started using it just once a day. In the past, I have found twice a day to be a little drying on my skin. After using it once a day for a week, I didn’t notice any irritation or drying! So I think I can safely up it to twice a day!

So whether you are living life to its fullest as a 20 something, or have already hit the 30-year-old mark like me, it is never too early or too late to find a great skincare routine. Check out all of DRMTLGY’s products on their website.  Then comment below with one thing that is on your 30 before 30 bucket list. I would love to hear what you think!
