A few weeks ago I got to try the Summer Fridays CC Me Serum in exchange for sharing my experience.
I had already tried the Jet Lag Mask by then so I knew Summer Fridays products were amazing and got so excited about the opportunity to try even more of them.
If you’ve never heard of Summer Fridays before, it was founded by Marianna Hewitt and Lauren Gores Ireland, two amazing and inspiring women who live a very clean lifestyle.
Any time I try new skincare products, my biggest concern is making sure it will work with my super sensitive skin with mild rosacea.
However, I know that Summer Fridays takes clean beauty very seriously and that really eased my concerns.
After weeks of using their products, I wanted to share my Summer Fridays review.
CC Me Serum
The trial was for 6 weeks, though I’ve been using the product ever since and now it’s been 13 weeks since I first started using it.
I use it once a day in the mornings before applying my moisturizer and sunscreen.
Overall I saw a significant difference in skin glow, an even tone, and overall hydration.
My skin is usually very dry, sensitive, red, and pretty dull. However, the CC Me Serum adds an immediate glow.
It’s hard to describe but it feels like a glow from within. As if I had been very diligent about drinking lots of water, sleeping and eating healthy.
Obviously, if you use skincare products and actually sleep well, stay hydrated and eat healthy, your skin will look 10X better.
However, this glowy skin happened without altering my diet or even drinking more water than usual.
I’m very happy with the product and totally recommend it. In fact, two of my friends told me they bought it because of my positive experience and have seen a significant improvement in their skin to the point where they don’t even wear makeup anymore!
Jet Lag Mask
Before I got to try the CC Me Serum or other Summer Fridays products, I bought the Jet Lag Mask because I had heard so much about it.
Let me just say it lives up to its hype!
I use it as an overnight mask and I wake up looking as if I had gotten 8+ hours of sleep when in reality I have not.
Not only that but my skin feels a lot more hydrated, firm, smooth, and soft.
As a friend of mine put it, her mom was asking her if she had gotten any botox when in reality it was all from Jet Lag Mask!
Now I will add a disclaimer that we’re both in our 20’s and obviously with younger skin it might be easier for fine lines to fade. However, I’m fairly confident Jet Lag Mask will hydrate, firm, and smooth all types of skins just based on other people’s experiences I’ve read about.
R&R and Overtime Masks
I use the R&R and Overtime Masks less often since they’re meant to be used only a couple of times a week.
Exfoliating our skin is very important, however it should only be done once or twice a week, especially if you have sensitive skin like I do.
I alternate using the R&R and Overtime masks once a week and have had no issues with either.
The key is to very gently apply the masks and wash them off without rubbing your skin.
I love that the R&R mask leaves my skin soft, glowing, and very hydrated. It not only exfoliates skin, it leaves oils after washing (I promise it is not oily though) that are important for hydrating your skin.
The Overtime mask smells amazing! I’m a sucker for Fall and the pumpkin smell won me over the second I opened it.
In my experience, the R&R mask is a bit more gentle on my skin as opposed to Overtime. However, I found that Overtime mask was still gentle enough to use on my sensitive skin.
It’s great to exfoliate skin and brighten it, all while smelling like a luscious Fall day.
Super Amino Gel Cleanser
While I normally use my Dermalogica Ultracalming Cleanser, I decided to try the Summer Fridays Super Amino Gel Cleanser.
I use it after my Dermalogica Pre-Cleanse Balm and before applying my Summer Fridays CC Me Serum.
The Super Amino Gel Cleanser has no synthetic dyes or fragrances, however it smells fresh and clean.
Seriously, the second I started using it I immediately felt like everything was so clean just from its smell.
The good news is not only does it smell clean, it’s really good at cleansing skin too!
Like all other Summer Fridays products, it’s very gentle and I have had no issues with it washing my face morning and night.
Plus, not to mention the bottle is so sleek and cute. Truly, all the Summer Fridays products look beautiful and are definitely very instagrammable.
Lip Butter Balm
Last but not least in my Summer Fridays review is the Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balm.
It makes my lips super glossy but not in a sticky way. Sometimes lip balms will be so sticky to the point were my hair gets stuck on my lips and that drives me insane.
However, this Lip Butter Balm smells heavenly, hydrates my lips, adds gloss and best of all, my hair stays away from my lips.
I use it throughout the day and at night as an overnight lip mask.
My lips get chapped quite easily, especially in the Florida heat since I get dehydrated so easily. But thanks to the Lip Butter Balm I’ve had no chapped lips since I started using it!
