Welcome to my blog! I posted a picture of the products I’m currently using on Instagram and y’all wanted to see a blog post with more details so here we are!
The Sephora Spring Sale is coming up this month so I’m waiting to repurchase my favourites at a discount!
If you’ve been following along, you know I love all things skincare and have been working with a naturopathic doctor recently to clear my hormonal breakouts. I’m taking various vitamins too, but that is a whole other post.
Morning routine:
- Summer Fridays cleanser – I had been using Ole Henriksen’s Daily Truth cleanser and loving it, but I wanted to try something different and I love all of Summer Fridays other products too.
- Ordinary Caffeine serum – I use a drop under my eyes and pat it in with my ring fingers because it is the gentlest and I do not need these bags growing. Caffeine stimulates blood circulation and I can honestly say this makes a visible difference!
- Ordinary Zinc + Niacinamide serum – I use this to fade acne scars.
- Fenty Skin moisturizer – I know that sunscreen is such an important step but I could never find one that went onto the skin nicely and knew I was lazy so I love that this one is in my moisturizer already and has clean ingredients! I do want to look for a good mineral sunscreen for the summer though still.
- Occasionally I will stick my Rose Quartz Roller in the freezer overnight and massage my face in the mornings if I feel puffy and need to wake up
Nighttime routine:
- Summer Fridays cleanser
- Consonant Glycolic Meta serum – I use this every other night as a chemical exfoliator to increase cell turnover and it is not a harsh exfoliator and can be used with active breakouts which is nice.
- Truly Vitamin C serum – after the glycolic acid, I use vitamin C and this one is from a local brand that I’m enjoying but I recently ran out and got sent the Vitamin C Supercharged Serum from Alya Skincare and it’s amazing too! Plus I have a code marley.justus for 20% OFF 😀 Super useful for fading dark spots and protecting against the sun.
- On days that I don’t do those two above steps, I use the Zinc + Niacinamide serum.
- Bio Oil – my entire family uses this to keep skin moisturized plus it’s super great for sunburns in the summer or injury scars or even stretch marks. It definitely decreases my scarring and is it weird that I’m excited to wake up and see if my skincare magically worked overnight? LOL I have issues
- I also have been using my Gua Sha tool from Mount Lai to massage the Bio Oil in to the skin and I’m hoping it will give me a more prominent jaw line or help my clenching ah
I hope you enjoyed this!! Let me know what your ride-or-die skincare products are and I’d love to try them out! I use the website cosdna.com to check if the ingredients in my products are clean or toxic and have fragrances because I want my skin to be the best it can be.
