A Day In The Life With Strivectin

Recently StriVectin posed a question to me; how do I put my best face forward?  And I thought instead of simply answering the question, why not instead invite StriVectin to spend the day with me and actually see how I put my best face forward.

You see since leaving the 9-to-5 cubicle grind behind and becoming an entrepreneur, I’m in the spotlight more than ever.  A spotlight I didn’t fully expect, but had to get comfortable with real quick.  Because being an entrepreneur means being your brand every moment, in every aspect, in every scenario, of every day.  Whether meeting with design clients to pick out the perfect textiles, speaking at a conference, running around town preparing to host a dinner party, or on set for a photo shoot, my face has to often literally represent my brand.

I remember getting pictures back from one of my first photo shoots for Waiting On Martha.  The pictures were untouched (read: not Photoshopped) and high resolution.  Do you know what it’s like to have your face up close and personal on a 32″ screen?!  Well if you’ve ever looked into a magnifying mirror, it’s similar to that…only way more magnified.  You see every flaw.  Every single flaw.

My skin is something I’ve struggled with since I was a teenager.  And while it’s improved in my 30’s, it’s still a daily struggle.  Now instead of battling acne, I’m battling the repercussions of not taking care of my skin in my younger years: discoloring and uneven skin tone from baking in the sun and scarring from the acne of my teens and even twenties.  That’s where StriVectin’s new Intensive Illuminating Serum comes in.  It has truly transformed my skin and helped me feel more confident on and off camera.

I’ll be sharing my daily routine and all the details from my thirty-day skin journey with StriVectin’s Brighten and Perfect system next week, but until then, I ask you: how do you put your best face forward?  Truly, MKR
