Join me in the Kiehl’s #ChangeYourSkin Challenge
So I need to rally my troops together and need your help in testing and trialling some products from one of my favourite brands, Kiehl’s! Yip, I know – not such a tough task!
I am looking for 5 readers to join me in the #ChangeYourSkin challenge where you, with me, will track your skins changes over a 28 day period. We will all be testing the same three best-sellers from Kiehl’s and these will be full-size products:
Midnight Recovery Concentrate – a pioneer product in the facial oil category
Dermatologist Solutions™ Clearly Corrective Dark Spot Solution – the 1st clear, stabilized dark-spot serum
Dermatologist Solutions™ Hydro-Plumping Retexturing Serum Concentrate – the 1st serum to address age-related dehydration
What I need from you:
- To post weekly on your social media platform telling us about your skin’s changes using the #ChangeYourSkin hashtag and tagging myself and @KiehlsSA. You will need to mail me once a week with a blurb on your skin’s progress (or lack thereof – this is all honest reviews).
- 1 Before photo and 1 After photo shared with me to post on the blog – I am very anti the selfie too but we need to suck it up this one time 🙂
- You will need to have some skin concern of sorts – I am looking for mixed ethnicities, people with dull skin, uneven skin-tone, signs of ageing etc – basically not someone with picture perfect skin
We need to start our testing by 20 June so in order to apply to be one of my 5 #ChangeYourSkin ladies, please leave me a comment below telling me:
- Your full name
- Your skin concern
- Your e-mail address
I will need your full address once you have been chosen and will email you so we can get your products delivered next week. I will also be doing an exciting in-store event in July where I will need a further 15 readers to join me for an eve of testing, gifts and learning about your skin concerns – more on that later 🙂
My skin concerns are the following: I turned 30 last year and my skin is now starting to look it, I have dry skin but oily forehead, struggling the last few months with pimples, which is never a good look! Lines are appearing and I have dark circles underneath my eyes.
YES PLEASE! I am 37…and the tell tale signs of aging are creeping in, as well as problematic skin on the side of my chin, comes and goes, dry then oily, I want to SCREAM! I am 37 for goodness sake.
I would love to try these wonderful products! I am 40, my skin leans towards dehydrated, is very dull and I suffer from mild vitiligo.
Hello!
Firstly, I really enjoy Kiehl's products. I've used a lot of them but not the dark spot solution or the hydro-plumping serum, both of which are on my list!
I would like to be a part of this because I will, in two months, officially be in my late twenties, meaning I need to start thinking more seriously about anti-ageing products – I've noticed fine lines around my eyes sneaking up on me, eek! My second concern is pigmentation – I would love a more even skin tone and specifically I have a few pigmented areas on my face like near my left eye (assuming from being in the car).
I would also love to get my husband to do this with me. When I first met him he washed his face with SOAP (horror!) but now he's using proper skincare. However, he burnt badly a few times as a child so there's a lot of TLC needed to look after that. Because of that his skin is not even in tone, plus his t-zone tends to get very dry so he needs super hydrating products for that area.
Holding thumbs!
I'm 32 and newly pregnant, so along with the new fine lines appearing and combination skin, I now also have colouration happening on my skin and breakouts.
Wow! Yes, I would love to test these products! My biggest concern is the toll my busy lifestyle takes on my skin. I need a product that can cleanse, tighten my pores and get rid of blemishes. My email address is: lieslcoetzer[at]hotmail.com. Full name: Liesl Coetzer
I am 31 this year, I have been struggling with aging, dehydrated ,uneven skin tone , dark spots from acne and large pores. Due to acne, i look much older than my age. So hoping to give my a skin some extremely great TLC. Would love to look much younger. email : Sophia.junaid@telkomsa.net
My name is Thoko Scota. (tkscota[at]gmail.com) I'm 24 and my concern are dark spots, I thought they will go away as get older but unfortunately not. I have a normal skin though, not oily and not dry either. Hope I'll be chosen for the challenge. 🙂

Hello Tor. I really want to take part in this for the following reasons. I was lucky enough to have good skin when I was younger and took it completely for granted – I only started using moisturiser a year ago. Now that I've gotten older, I've noticed a change in my skin: I've started getting pimples yet at the same time my skin still feels super dry. I've also started to notice wrinkles starting to set in especially around my forehead area. Would love to take part in this to help change my skin but to also hopefully find a skincare regime that works for me for the future. Thanks! xxx Kate katemcleodcontact[at]gmail.com
Hi, my name is Astrid Sanders and I suffer from rosacea. My biggest concerns are my ruddy cheeks and dry skin. My skin looks dull and dry most of the time and often feels itchy/uncomfortable. I would love to try something that can soothe this. My email is astridmsanders[at]gmail.com Thanks!
Name: Roselia Ntwane E-mail address: roselia.ntwane20[at]gmail.com I've got dark spots, oily skin, bit of pimples.
I'm Aurelie Torres Hastie, I've got dark spots and quite a dull dehydrated skin lately with early signs of ageing. Im struggling to find suitable products to give my skin its glow back.

Everyone wishes for perfect skin and so do I, because it's the one thing I don't have! So, let's get down to business:
My full name is Kristi Beitz, and I'm 25. I'm Caucasian, but I have a very olive skin though, always have had my whole life!
I actually have a LOT of skin concerns, but the main ones that really bother me are definitely dark sports and scarring from acne/hormonal breakouts every now and then, very uneven skin tone, dry and flaky skin, skin that just looks so dull and has no radiance, a lot of redness but this doesn't bother me as much as some other things, skin that isn't 'smooth', the overall look & feel of my skin, and premature aging (those fine lines and crows feet!), all really bother me. To be honest, I've never had skin that I love and that has been something to smile about, and as the years go on, I feel like my skin concerns become more and more. I've also never found something that has made me go WOW! and keep purchasing. I would LOVE to do the Kiehl's challenge and see my skin transform before my eyes and become the skin that doesn't bother me.
My email addy is kristijbeitz[at]gmail.com and you can definitely count on me for regular updates and *cringe* no makeup selfies (which might be a first for people other than my husband!).
I'm Robyn Dennis, I'm 23 years old and I have combination skin (more oily than dry) I have uneven skin tone and lately my skin is all kinds of moody and I am having a bit of a breakout, desperately looking to try something new that will honpefully help me out and hopefully whip my skin into healthy skin shape. My email address is: robzjd[at]gmail.com
I have oily skin with some dry spots and some pigmentation. I would also like to minimize my visible pores. Karen van Heerden klochmberg@webmail.co.za
Wow! It would be awesome to try these products. I have never used a Khiels product before. I'm 22 with dull normal/combination skin with redness, dark spots and scarring from previous breakouts. I also struggle with breakouts on my face.

Hi there!
My name is Julie Campbell, and I am 25 years old.
My skin is dull, dry and dehydrated. I work in an air-conditioned office which dries my skin out like crazy. I also often cannot wear makeup because my face is so dry, which is sad because I love reading beauty blogs and trying new makeup.
I would love to try these products and see if they can help me and my skin.
My email address is julz.campbell[at]gmail.com
Hi hun,
I just love love Khiels! I have bad pigmentation under my eyes so I'm really interested in that dark spot product. Would love to be a guinea pig!

Hello♡…I am Liza and I have the skin of a 27 year old, Which is fine if you are actually 27 but not if you are 19.
I have dark spots from the sun which is only my fault but the light acne scars were genetic. I tend to frown a lot so that causes fine wrinkles on my forehead. Struggling my entire life with oiliness my skin took a toll for the worst this season and all of a sudden in a question of took weeks BAMMM! I had dry skin, with no knowledge whatsoever on how to treat dry skin and only being trained to work with oily skin I am so confused as to what to do and how to approach it is it took years of testing so I could cope with my oily skin.
If you do choose me as one of your #ChangeYourSkin Ladies in this wonderful Khiels adventure you can Email me via liza@mechtechsa.co.za
Lots Of Love Liza
This is so awesome Tori 🙂 I would love to test out the Kiehls range as I never have before, but am really interested in trying out new products… My name is Robyn Swart and I live in JHB. My skin is REALLY dry at the moment (from this harsh JHB winter) and I suffer from pigmentation on my forehead and my upper lip. My email is robzwatters[at]gmail.com Enjoy the long weekend! XXXXX
Love the brand, but have never been able to try the face products. Would LOVE to participate please. Lizemari Moller, Lizemarimoller[at]gmail.com, My skin concerns: turning 30 in a few weeks and starting to notice more signs of pigmentation, dehydration and overall uneven skintone. Thanks Tori
Hi there,
What a great way to test these products out!! I have heard a lot about Kiehls and absolutely love their brand look and feel but haven't ever had the opportunity to try out their products. I am now at that age where I need to start using the anti-age products to prolong the aging process. I also have the typical oily T-section yet fairly dry skin so I like to keep my face moisturized and protected from the sun with an SPF.
I would love to keep a weekly diary on my blog COCONELLEBLOG.COM to track the progress.
You can contact me on coconelleblog[at]gmail.com or chanelpiccione[at]gmail.com

I'm 31.
I have combination skin.
I have patches of completely normal skin, to slightly dry, to areas prone to breakouts.
I really struggle to find a suitable product.
The Dermatologist Solutions™ Clearly Corrective Dark Spot Solution sounds great I'd love to try it.
Good luck, All!

Well where do I start with my skin concerns…wow. I haven't been able to find a product that works for my skin as of yet. I guess you could say I have a combination skin type. My T-zone gives me a lot of problems. Lately I've gotten 'blind' pimples – especially by my temples. They are big and very painful. In the past I made the mistake of picking at my pimples so not only do I have these terrible blind pimples in the T-zone, I now also have dark spots from the previous pimples that I scratched and picked at.
And because my T-zone is oily, I haven't been able to moisturize properly out of fear of making my skin more oily, which has led to the early formation of wrinkles now too. So around my mouth, eyes and forehead you can now see lines. As an almost 25 year old (my birthday is in a month) I can honestly say that I don't actually want to look my age and I regret that I haven't been able to take better care of my skin. I'm really hoping a product like this will work for me in all three my problem areas. If it does, then Khiel will have a life-long supporter and client. By the way, I'm half Portuguese 🙂

Hi Victoria ?
My name is Avastha Singh and I love experimenting with Beauty and Skincare.
Although it's taken a while, I've made a conscious decision to take better care of my skin.
Although they say you should love the skin you're in, I think that there is always room for improvement!
I have normal to dry skin (depending on the season) that lacks a little lustre.. Everyone want dewy glowing skin!
I also have some dark circles under my eyes which refuse to budge and some overall unevenness.
I also have some scarring from a treatment gone wrong and a few acne scars.
I've finally grown out of my teenage skin, but I do still get a spot or two!
I am an aspirant blogger and I love reviewing products (even just in my circle of friends) so it would be so amazing to work with you, because you are definitely someone I look up to in the blogging community!
I hope to hear from you! xx

If you choose me, I promise to adhere fully to the requirements and to be completely honest about my results.

Hello! My name is Arleen Marree. Please pick me! I turn 38 the day after this trial start (eekkkk)!. I would love to give these products a go because my skin isn't very happy. I have an oily T zone and can be prone to hormonal breakouts. I have uneven skin tone on my cheeks and a bit of pigmentation under my eyes following pregnancy and maybe too much sun in my hay day (no judging ;-). My skin can tend to be dull in winter and dehydrated on my cheeks at times. I also have fine lines around my eyes. I would be your perfect candidate! 🙂 My email address is: arleenmarree[at]gmail.com
Uneven skin-tone and pigmentation caused by birth control pill apparently – whats a girl to do?! oh, and fine lines around the eyes. help.

My skin is very dehydrated and winter really isn't helping , also random breakouts , this would be great for me to try out as I am really fussy with just using any product
Im inbetween beauty products at the moment, trying to find the right combination for my skin. I have a terribly dry skin, a very uneven skin tone and battle with dark spots. For someone who's only 24, its really annoying. I would love to be apart of this 28-day challenge, i am very active accross all social media platforms so the updates and interaction with the brand wont be a problem for me. I have heard great things about Kiehls and how its changed peoples skin and beauty routines. I would love to add to their good reputation.
Thank you for this opportunity. Its so amazing when bloggers and brands interact with people this way, and it would be awesome to be apart of it.

Thanks for the opportunity.
Hello!
I would LOVE to participate in the #ChangeYourSkin challenge.
I started using Kiehls about a month ago and am LOVING it. An opportunity to try all the fancy products a student budget can’t afford would be such a gift! I am very active on social media too, and so I can garauntee that both Kiehls and this fabulous blog would get a whole lot of recognition.
My skin: I struggle with tight, dehydrated, dull, red and spotty skin. I am pedantic about maintaining healthy skin so that it always looks and feels fresh, both now and in the future. The thought of being able to do that with Kiehls makes me giddy with excitement.
It would be an honour to participate in this challenge with you. I hope to be one of your fantastic five!

Hi my name is Adele Bezuidenhout and I am 23 years old.
I started my life as an entrepreneur at the age of 20. My ambitions were big, my skin was amazing and the sky was the limit. Fast forward 3 years to today and my dreams have started turning into a reality. My skin? Not so much.
3 years of stress and worry hasn’t done much for my skin. My once youthful and plump skin is now dry and blemished. Seriously though, I never had so many blemishes even when I was a 16!
I really need the #SerumExperts to save my skin.

Hi Tori…
My skin concern is the very scientifically named "2 pregnancies and babies in 18 months with a combination of very little sleep and even less time to take care of myself". I've always loved my skin – plump and (generally!) wrinkle free – but things have changed, and not for the best. Fine lines have crept in (some not so fine!), there is residual pigmentation from pregnancy (a side effect they fail to mention!), and everything is looking just a little blah. BUT, I know that with a little #SerumExpert love I can restore it to its former glory. And I'll happily share the journey on Social Media for new moms also looking to get back into their groove.

Hi there! My name is Magda Barnard. I have freckles and a light skin. To hide other imperfections such as huge pores and acne scars I unfortunately have to also hide my pretty freckles under make up.

Hi. I'm Judy Freeman. I've just reached that age where I'm no longer comfortable telling people my age in a public forum. While my skin is relatively good, I've noticed the tell-take signs of aging. Lines around my eyes, forehead and dull, tired looking skin especially after a late night. I've also started to see signs of sun damage and pigmentation. This age and skin showing it visibly! Arghhhhh ???

Hi there. My name is Natalie and I am 37. What are my skin concerns? All of them!!! I still break out on a regular basis and currently it looks like I am growing another head out the side of my face. I definitely have the fine lines and wrinkles around my eyes and forehead which I would love to get rid of and maybe regain some of that youth bouncy plumpness I used to have (asking a lot I know). I also suffer from quite a dehydrated skin and being winter currently is making it worse, look like I am part alligator today due to the flakiness of my forehead and nose. Then finally I have a bit of an uneven skin as well as my nose area is always quite pink compared to the rest of my face. I really hope you pick me to be your guinea pig 😉

I would love to be a participant in the Kiehl’s #ChangeYourSkin 28-Day Challenge. To have all the Kiss, Blush and Tell blog readers put the spotlight on me would really be extreme and throw me totally out of my comfort zone, but hoo hoo, I am up for this challenge to have lasting results in changing the look and feel of my skin.
My name is Joles Lazarus. I am 33 years. I have a combination skin of dry cheeks and a shiny forehead at times, especially in summer. I struggle in the winter months, even though living in Durban, the wind does dry my skin a bit. I would love to be part of the #ChangeYourSkin experiment and really change the condition of my skin with the world’s renown #SerumExperts, Kiehl’s.
I am up, for openly sharing with the world, my ordeal of imperfect skin and my skin concern. I had flawless, baby like skin all my life until I hit my teens. We were the biggest fans of all Johnson’s and Johnson’s baby products. Puberty arrived and all went well, but when I turned 15, I decided that I wanted to be all grown up and tried out for the first time the routine of cleansing, toning and moisturizing. That was my biggest mistake. I longed for “adultness” and yet now I long for “childlikeness”. Within 2 days, my skin “exploded” with acne. The so called “consultant” who sold the products to me, “wisely” stated that my skin was merely adjusting and to keep on with the new daily routine. Sad to say, my skin has never been the same. Since that first day, of “being all grown up”, something triggered my beautifully flawless skin in a negative way. Since 16, my whole beauty regime life has been trying out various products from limitless brands including top class beauty houses, to vitamins, to dermatologist visits, to a series of intense medication (Roacuttane). I listened to anybody and everybody about what product to try out to resolve my skin issues “once and for all” and yet nothing has worked. To date, I am so certain that I have spent hundreds upon thousands of rand over products, some hardly used. I have taken vitamins and oral supplements to even assist me from the inside out. Needless to say, the years have rolled by and some 15 years + later, I am still in search fulfilling the dream of having beautifully radiant and glowing skin once again.
I’d love to try out Kiehl’s in order to help me with the following: pigmentation, uneven skin tone, aging, blemishes
I am thrilled to give this world renowned product a try, to have healthier, radiant & younger-looking skin again. Bring back my youth, restore and strengthen my skin barrier. Help me defy my age. Bring back my youthful, cherub and flawless skin. I am certain the Midnight Recovery Concentrate will do its magic at the stroke of 12 midnight and continue to work all night to replenish my skin with moisture to ensure younger-looking skin by morning. The Dermatologist Solutions Clearly Corrective Dark Spot Solution will work its wonders at promoting youthful clarity while helping to reduce the appearance of dark spots, discolouration and hyperpigmentation. Oh boy, I am in much need off the Dermatologist Solutions Hydro-Plumping Retexturising Serum Concentrate in all its extraordinariness will penetrate deep through surface layers and utilize next generation serum-to-liquid technology™ to intensively hydrate skin’s deepest surface layers. I cannot wait for all of these wonders to work on me, me, me!!! My face, my skin will be the work of incredible technology and lab research!
This is going to change my life, my world, in such a dramatic way! I want to testify to this that Kiehl's works, and works amazingly well. I want to walk out the door without any makeup and just a touch of lip gloss and be proud to be ME without that self-conscious, deep down, gut feeling of uneasiness and feeling exposed. My shyness, my self-confidence, my outlook of life and my own impression of me is going to sky rocket!
Thank you Kiehl’s for this opportunity to share my life. Make me your girl! @jo2311 ♥ lazarina001[at]gmail.com
