The Product I’m using To Firm My Skin

January 25, 2018

I love getting older. Seriously. Every year I grow up a little more, gain knowledge, make new friends, create new memories and experience exciting adventures. I truly look forward to it. But with age comes the inevitable wrinkles and lack of firmness in our skin.

I definitely prefer being preventive over reactionary so I try to do everything I can for my skin to help slow the aging process.

The Tight’N Cryogenic by Kate Somerville is literally a game changer. I added this to my nighttime routine a few weeks ago and I can already tell a difference in the firmness of my skin. I wanted to talk through some of my favorite and not so favorite things about this product.

Texture

I love the texture. It’s super foamy and feels very cool (literally, it’s cold) and refreshing on the skin. I love the cooling sensation because I can feel my skin instantly getting firmer. It’s like rubbing a cold spoon under your eyes on those super sleepy mornings. Has anyone done that? It’s one of my favorite feelings!

Smell

The smell is pretty bad. I’m a big fan of natural products that have earthy/floral smells. This product does smell a bit chemical-like for me. However, I have continued to use it because 1. I notice a difference in the firmness of my skin and my makeup is going on so much smoother. 2. My skin is super sensitive and this product doesn’t break me out or feel harsh on my skin, which makes me think maybe the products in it are just a little smelly 3. I put my Fresh Rose Cream over it before bed to help the smell and for added moisture ( I have super dry skin so need to do this – checkout SkinCare Essentials if you have dry skin!).

Packaging

I love the bottle it comes in but the lid is a little fragile, it broke after the first week I was using it. Keep in mind I was traveling with it so my bag was getting tossed around. If you were keeping this at home on your vanity, I’m sure it wouldn’t be a problem.

Price

Let’s talk price! This product is a little pricey, but it’s also pretty comparable to other high end products that promise similar results. I think Kate Somerville products are definitely worth a little splurge sometimes, I’ve been a huge fan of ExfoliKate for years and it’s one of the best exfoliators I’ve used. I feel like my money goes a long way with Kate’s products because you only need a little bit of product each use. I’ve been using the same ExfoliKate for nearly a year now. It’s like it’s never ending!

Overall, if you’re looking for a good product to firm and smooth your skin and you’re not super sensitve to smells, try this!

Let me know if I missed anything!

I hope this review was helpful! Let me know what your favorite skin firming product is!
Here are my other favorite products in my nighttime routine. Per request, a skin routine is coming your way! 🙂

I received this product complimentary from Influenster + Kate Somerville. As always, ideas and 0pinions are my own.

Experiences > Things If you want to travel more Experiences > Things 

If you want to travel more in 2024, now is a great time to start. Shift the holiday focus from gifts under the tree and prioritize experiences that allow you to create new memories together 

Experience based gifts have always been important to us. We’ve been traveling together for 6+ years and experiencing things together is by far our favorite way to spend time together. Together we’ve explored ~14 countries and grown both individually and as a couple 

Finding ways to save where we can is huge. We don’t have  the desire to buy new things all the time. I also take advantage of credit cards, travel deals, and stack rewards (ex: a majority of our flights are booked with points). I have a free guide packed with lots of info to help you travel more for less 

Which do you value more, experiences or things? 💭

I can’t be the only one like this… If you me I can’t be the only one like this… 

If you mention going on a trip around me, you better be ready to follow through 

📍What’s the most spontaneous trip you’ve ever booked? 

Story time: Last week my friend called me and said she had to spend $150 on United if she wanted to hit status for 2024. That reminded me that I had $400 in credit to use by the end of the year, so I jokingly said “should we meet up somewhere?” 

Long story short, by the end of the day we had hotel, flights, and dinner reservations booked and now i’m in Vegas for my last (spontaneous) trip of 2023 💃

Friends who book the flights are my favorite 🫶🏼
