THINGS ARE A CHANGING, when it comes to my skin & it is just so DAMN GOOD I have to share with you guys.
I have suffered with adult acne for a few years now, very hormonal shit all along my jawline. I have done everything under the sun & it all has worked but my skin has just been dull as of late.
A lot of acne products are DRYING & I just wasn’t focusing enough on moisture. Most people with acne get super scared of oils & moisturizing products, myself included, but NOT ANYMORE.
Here’s the deal: when your skin is dry AF your body produces extra oil to hydrate your skin & the oil from the inside creates sebum & give you pimples. If you keep your skin properly moisturized you will have less acne, it’s a fact & I am proof.
PLUS, my friend just introduced me to @namvo on Instagram & now my life goal is to be a DEWY DUMPLING. I have also changed my makeup routine to help keep shit dewy, but we will get to that post another day!
Today is all about MY NIGHTLY SKINCARE ROUTINE!
1. Eminence Organics Neroli Age Corrective Hydrating Mist
I am a die hard Eminence fan (such clean ingredients!!!) & the Eminence Neroli Hydrating mist is my JAM. Think Evian, but with moisture, dew, & anti-aging properties. I spray this shit on multiple times a day- before makeup, after makeup is on, immediately when make up is washed off, AND after all my nightly skincare is applied. It tightens the skin, protects against free radicals, increases collagen (!!!), blurs wrinkles, & the Neroli oil + coconut milk hydrate the eff out of your skin.
2. Ole Henriksen Vitamin C Truth Serum
The Ole Henriksen Truth Serum is my skins daily vitamin. Vitamin C is major when it comes to boosting collagen & this stuff BRIGHTENS my skin like you wouldn’t believe. Plus it’s super hydrating & my skin literally drinks it up leaving me GLOWING. I apply this AT NIGHT, after the spray, & before my heavier lotions. I also use it before makeup for an instant GLOW UP.
3. Ole Henriksen Goodnight Glow retin-ALT Sleep Crème
THIS STUFF IS AMAZING, NEXT LEVEL, HOLY GRAIL WORTHY AF. If you could only pick one thing from this list- BUY THE Ole Henriksen Goodnight Glow retin-ALT Sleep Crème!!!
A friend actually gave me this cause I was whining about my acne & how retin-a just WRECKED my skin. Retin-a works for some, but for me, it’s too harsh & made my skin worse. The Goodnight Glow retin-ALT Sleep Crème is a PLANT-BASED & POTENT retinol alternative & it has been doing wonders on my skin. Sleeping creams are A MUST because your skin does so much healing while you’re sleeping & this stuff really amps up that healing. It is a gentle but oh-so-effective exfoliant that ALSO moisturizes your skin & I wake up looking so damn refreshed.
4. Ole Henriksen Banana Bright Eye Cremè
Can you tell… I love me some Ole Henriksen?! It’s just the best of the best when it comes to skincare & their Banana Bright Eye Cremè has been raved about so much I had to try it. I am a long time (aka since I was 3) sufferer of undereye circles & this is my fave eye cream to date. I have tried over 1000 probably so that’s saying A LOT.
Makeup artists swear by “banana powder” for makeup as works so well to color correct dark circles/dark spots & this eye cream is a play on that banana coloring. Not only does it actually mask them with it’s color correcting properties, but it really seems to PLUMP my under eyes up with moisture which helps the dark shadows actually appear less dark. I use it at night before bed for a vitamin boost & then before makeup because it’s brightens things up AND is a great primer.
5. High Beauty ‘High Expectations’ Cannabis Facial oil & ‘High Five’ Cannabis Facial Moisturizer
High Beauty’s High Expectations Cannabis Facial oil & High Five Cannabis Facial Moisturizer are YOUR NEW FAVE DUO. Both products contain high level cannabis sativa seed oil (not THC, won’t get you high!!) & just work really really well at moisturizing my skin without feeling HEAVY/weighed down.
The cannabis seed sativa oil in these products is full of super effective antioxidants, all sorts of clean ingredients (i.e. red grape, brocolli, cumin!) & just is a really great MOISTURE COMBO that I use right before bed. I love the texture of the moisturizer & the oil doesn’t just SIT on top of my skin. It really absorbs & leaves me looking like I just drank a gallon of water.
6. Y Facial Roller
Just got this Y Facial Roller on Amazon 3 nights ago & it is my fave roller yet!!! I have a ton, but this one gets SO cold in the freezer & hugs the contours of my face like none I have ever seen. It just feels really good & contours like a boss. I use it AFTER my routine is done to really help all my products absorb into my skin + give me a nice little lymphatic drainage before I lay down.
After I am done with all of that, one more spritz of my Eminence Neroli Hydrating mist & off to bed I go… excited to wake up every damn day to see how much better my skin is looking!
