Derma e® the Gluten Free Skincare Routine

I don’t know about you, but I am always looking for the next best product in skincare! As I’ve gotten older, I have realized more and more how important it is to take care of my skin. I always hear people say “you only have one body, so take care of it.” Well, the same goes for your skin! You only get one epidermis, and it’s supposed to last 100 years (if we are lucky)! A few months ago I received a derma e® sample in my Birchbox and had a great experience, but I was still married to my previous face wash. Like most skincare routines, mine grew boring and I wasn’t confident it was still doing it’s job, so I was really excited when the opportunity came about to try derma e®!

Family owned and operated for over 30 years, derma e® has pioneered the development of vitamin-rich, high-performance antioxidant skincare solutions. I really really really love that every derma e® product is cruelty-free, gluten-free and 100% vegan. On top of that, manufacturing and operations are offset 100 percent by wind power! An animal-and-eco-friendly company? Definitely grabs my attention! So many people have gluten allergies nowadays, and some are so extreme that they have to check everything they use, including lotions and face wash. Luckily, I don’t have any sort of gluten intolerance or allergy, however, a few months ago I tested cutting out gluten entirely for 2 weeks and I really saw a difference. I lost 6lbs without exercising any more or less than usual, and while I didn’t physically feel any different, my husband and I noticed that I didn’t snap at him once for a whole 2 weeks. Which is pretty rare, especially when PMS is involved. It could be a coincidence, but I really think getting rid of gluten helped me physically and mentally.

With all of that said, derma e® is a great brand for anyone with skin sensitivities, allergies, or looking to complete the gluten free lifestyle. They literally have a product for every skin type! With so many options, you might not know what product will benefit you the most, that’s why they have the derma evaluation! It takes just a minute to complete, and at the end, it will match you with the best product for your skin type based on your answers. I’m lucky to have fairly “easy” skin to manage, so a lot of my answers were based on my future concerns such as wrinkles. Though wrinkles are natural for almost everyone, I feel I’m probably a little more prone to getting them early on after all of the sun I’ve gotten living in Florida my whole life, and because I smile a lot. Maybe that’s dumb, but that’s my thought at least. The derma evaluation recommended to me the anti-wrinkle line as well as the Deep Wrinkle Peptide Eye Crème. I’ve always heard that you can’t get rid of wrinkles (without Botox) once they’re already there, but you can help prevent them in the first place!

I got to test the Anti-Wrinkle Vitamin A Glycolic Cleanser, Anti-Wrinkle Vitamin A Glycolic Toner, Anti-Wrinkle Vitamin A Glycolic Scrub, and the Deep Wrinkle Peptide Eye Crème. Scent can be a really big turnoff for me regarding skincare products, and every single one of these products has a nice, light, “clean” scent to it. Personally, I sniff everything before I put it on my skin, and I was impressed that all of these didn’t have a fake/chemically smell like many others have. And my skin has felt so smooth and clean since I’ve started using this line! While I like every product, my favorite is the exfoliating scrub; it is so refreshing and exfoliates really well without being too harsh (unlike other brands I’ve tried that feel like I’m rubbing sandpaper on my face).
