An Arbonne user herself, I thought it would be nice to interview Chloe to find out which particular products are her favorite, why and how they’ve improved her skin situation.

Hey Chloe,

thanks a lot for taking the time to answer some of my questions as I’m sure my readers would like to know what you do in order to keep your skin looking fly.  So let’s get started!

What skincare line of Arbonne are you currently using?

Chloe: I am currently using the RE9 Advanced Anti-aging line, however, I do like to mix it up a bit depending on what my skin is needing or changes in the weather. The RE9 is the core skincare line with Arbonne and the sustainable orange stem cells, stabilized vitamin C, brown algae extract, sea buckthorn ceramide, peptides, and other active botanical ingredients will give you those results. Not only does it assist in age prevention (for those aged 25+) but it will detox the skin from pollutants and repair & protect the skin from any sun damage, harsh chemicals or daily stress. I sometimes mix and match this line with a less active range such as the Calm Range (after beach days) or the Clear Future products when my hormones are going crazy, but the RE9 will be my bestie for life!

What’s your favorite product of Arbonne, if you could only pick one?

Chloe: TOUGH QUESTION!…I think it would have to be the RE9 cellular renewal masque. I have never experienced a mask that gives you the immediate results like it does! The pineapple and papaya enzymes eat away at your dead skin cells, leaving you with an even skin tone and minimises the appearance of pore size – you wake up feeling photoshopped. I feel I am giving my skin a real nourishing treat and use it once a week.

How has your skin changed since?

Chloe: My skin has been dry but oily since I can remember – I thought it was my genetics and found a way to manage it but it never solved the problem completely. I didn’t like to invest much into skin care before Arbonne, being a believer that skin is nourished from the inside through diet. I even started making my own creams before I found Arbonne to dodge the harsh chemicals and animal by-products that get stuffed into personal care – that we really don’t need to be spending our money on, or letting our body absorb for that matter. Since using only Arbonne my skin has completely transformed. It is so much brighter with a healthy glow, hydrated and never oily. The products have been treating the acid mantle layer on my skin and by repairing this, it functions how it is supposed to – without all the problems I had before! Safe to say I am an Arbonne lifer!

From Arbonne, what’s one of your key skincare must-haves we should be using regardless of the season?

Chloe: The sunscreen! it smells divine and it is a mineral sunscreen – the formulas have non-nano zinc oxide for UVA/UVB broad-spectrum protection, they are lightweight, non-greasy and moisturize too. Particularly divine is the face sunscreen if you are prone to acne or sebum buildup.

Do you have a daily beauty routine? What is it? How often do you do it?

Chloe: Sure do! my RE9. I use this 5 step system morning and night. The cleanser, toner, serum, eye cream, day cream or night cream. The cleanser also works to take off my makeup when I use it with a washcloth. I enhance all my product results with the Genius Ultra Device, new ultrasound technology that is super safe and irons out fine lines! I use it under my eyes and on my lips to plump them up. Once a week I add in the sea source mud mask and once a week my RE9 cellular renewal masque. I don’t use anything other than Arbonne! I am an addict! plus it only makes sense purchasing from my own online store. ?

What’s your approach to beauty?

Chloe: Do it because it makes you feel good, not to cover up your “flaws”. I definitely believe beauty starts from within, if you are not happy, nothing is going to help you radiate. Look after your soul and mind first, everything else is just extras. And – don’t waste your money on things that don’t work! You may as well save for the good stuff. Take care of your skin now and your future self will thank you.

And lastly, do you have a beauty or health mantra?

Chloe: Invest in yourself! Without your health, you won’t have much to give back to others and the ones you love.

Thanks a lot Chloe!
