Kiehl’s Challenge Update (and a Giveaway for Two Readers!)

It’s hard to believe it’s been a month since I started the Kiehl’s 28-Day Midnight Recovery Challenge. During the challenge, I committed to applying both Kiehl’s Midnight Recovery Concentrate and Midnight Recovery Eye before bedtime. I’m happy to report that I didn’t miss a single night of pampering myself before bedtime, and my skin is reaping the rewards.

The products promise smoother skin, fewer lines, wrinkles and the big ones I was hoping for: lighter under-eye circles and the appearance of more sleep. Now, I gave these products a run for their money. Throughout the month, my 14-month-old daughter alternated nights where she’d be an angel—11+ hours of sleeping bliss—with nights that rivaled her newborn days. We’re talking nights that had me up for three-hour stretches at a time. (I’m blaming devil teeth.) I was skeptical that the products could compete with that, but I definitely noticed a difference in how tired I looked. No product can cure the exhaustion of parenthood, but Kiehl’s definitely gave me more of a morning glow, no matter how fatigued I was feeling. My dark under-eyes were noticeably lighter, but most of all, my skin was gloriously moisturized.

Are you staring down the barrel of 3 a.m. wake-up calls? Just want to try a fun new product? We’re giving away two Kiehl’s prize packs with both products to two lucky readers. Just let me know why you want to try them out! (And if you’re a Twitter-er, you can share your experiences at #KiehlsMRC.) Comment below to enter to win.
