Do you have a winter moisturizer you are absolutely in love with? Cold weather can affect your skin in so many different and possibly harsh ways. Tell me the products you have been using this season!
So this year I randomly got an insane breakout that took me forever to get rid of. I was on Epiduo for a while and anyone who has used it before knows how bad it burns or even the way it causes your skin to peel.
But, this cream is the only thing that hasn’t made the acne worse. And now that it’s gone it’s the only moisturizer that’s been keeping my skin on point.
I have been on a roll when it comes to my skincare. Not because I am wearing less makeup— but I am loving how the skin looks on my makeup free days. I have been experimenting with a few products for some time. I like to really take my time when it comes to reviewing skin care items. It takes more than two weeks to effectively see if a certain moisturizer or serum is in fact…
I hope this week was fabulous and productive! Celebrate it because you survived another work week and you have made it to Friday! Fabulous feeling right? Soak it people! Personally, this week has been a bit of a rollercoaster. But hey, not everyday can be a good day right? The important thing is that we survived, we pushed forward and we got things done!
Practice “skinimalism” with these four skincare products
Listen, we get it. A 12-step skincare routine can be fun and therapeutic. Your favorite K-Beauty brands have been telling you to collect cleansers like candy for years, and 2020 has been a year of collecting all the moisturizers you see on Amazon.
Soothe and condition with these calming face masks
Aloe Vera is a name you’ve likely heard throughout your entire life. As a child, you put it on your sunburned skin to soothe after a long day at the beach (casual reminder: wear your SPF), and these same calming and moisturizing properties work in your adult skincare routine.
(Ok it’s technically Wednesday but the photos were taken on Tuesday. ) . PRODUCT INFO: A cream for sensitive skin and dry skin, created with Atopalm’s patented MLE technology. It contains plant-derived ingredients which mimic the structure of the natural skin lipid which help to restore the skins’ protective moisture barrier, leading to softer skin. This sensitive and dry skin cream for face and body also helps prevent the over-evaporation of the skins’ own moisture and protects the entire face from environmental stresses. While this moisturizing sensitive skin cream is great for the face, it’s also ideal for the rest of your body including your elbows and knees. MY THOUGHTS: I’ve only tried this one time because I just received yesterday and review is past due. It has a very light citrus scent that immediately disappeared once on. A little goes a very long way. I really need to try this for a couple weeks with my skincare routine to aaa aAqaaAbe able to give a thorough review. Initially, it’s an ok cream. It sat on my face in some places though. Have you ever rubbers the your face and had your makeup or skincare rub off/ pull up? In other places, it soaked up and skin feels like it never had anything on it. I actually preferred using on my arms and legs. A little bummed because I’ve loved everything I’ve tried from this brand previously from the get go. If I change my mind after continued usage, I’ll update this review. Swipe left for list of ingredients. Available at Amazon @amazon for $24- see my Amazon Influencer list - link in bio. ⬆️ I received complimentary from @atopalmusa for review purposes through the @0.8l_usa review program. #skincareobsessed #skincarelife #skinfluencer #bestskincare #bestskincareproducts #bestskincareever #skincarehealth #skincarecommunity #skincarelover #skincaredaily #skincareblog #skincarediary #glamgirl #beautblogz #beautblogzcom #discoverunder50K #jodiglamgirl #texturetuesday #ATOPALM #AtopalmUSA #moisturizingcream #sensitiveskin #kbeauty #facecream #moisturizer (at La Michoacana Deluxe Homemade Ice Cream Hendersonville, Tn) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAH1xJ8jdos/?igshid=1j9nk43oftxm8
Happy Wednesday everyone!! I hope you are all doing well! Today as the weather has significantly dropped and the sky looks like snow I thought today would be the perfect day to talk about my favorite dry skin winter essentials! So let’s jump right in shall we?
These three products are new to me this season but they’ve changed my life and they are not going anywhere!
Happy Wednesday everyone!! I know it’s been a while but I hope you are all well and are enjoying your week! If you’re in the North East, I hope you are staying warm, its quite cold up here in NY and I would really like the snow to stop haha! But anyway, to brave the cold I decided to place an order from Glossier and as always I am not disappointed! I picked up their Priming Moisturizer, which I…
This face mask is my favorite mask to use when my face is really dry or needs extra moisture. It also helps reduce the appearance of acne. It’s easy to do and has great benefits. This mask is just Bananas.
Here are the benefits of incorporating bananas into your beauty routine:
Το καθημερινό ξύρισμα αφυδατώνει την επιδερμίδα, ενώ ταυτόχρονα απολεπίζει την εξωτερική στιβάδα της. Έτσι, γίνεται πιο ευάλωτη σε εξωτερικούς παράγοντες που τη φθείρουν. Η χρήση ενυδατικής κρέμας Okiroi μετά το ξύρισμα ή τον καθαρισμό, οπότε η επιδερμίδα είναι έτοιμη να δεχτεί τα ενεργά συστατικά της, θα επαναφέρει τη φυσική ισορροπία και την άμυνά της. Το σαπούνι @okiroi_s.a πριν το ξύρισμα σε συνδυασμό με την ενυδατική κρέμα μετά, προσφέρουν θρέψη και τόνωση, σβήνουν τα σημάδια της ξηρότητας και της αφυδάτωσης, αλλά καθυστερούν και τα σημάδια της γήρανσης, όπως οι λεπτές ρυτίδες και η χαλάρωση.
The #daily #shaving dehydrates the #skin while exfoliates the outer layer. Thus, it becomes more vulnerable to external factors. Use of #moisturizer after shaving or #cleaning, when the skin is most ready to receive the active ingredients, will restore its natural #balance and #defense. The @okiroi_s.a #soap before shaving combined with the Okiroi moisturizer after, offer #nourishment and #toning, erase signs of dryness and dehydration, detaining signs of aging such as fine lines and sagging.
Be careful not to use more than one product containing phenoxyethanol in a 6-12 hour time frame!
Phenoxyethanol is a preservative, an anti-bacterial, and a stabilizer found in many products. Its a great alternative to parabens.
Products containing 1% or less are deemed totally safe by nearly all countries, however when using multiple products, each containing 1%, it adds up leading to over exposure of phenoxyethanol. So be cautious not to layer too many products with this ingredient at one time on skin. Over exposure can cause hives, rash, anaphylaxis, and dermatitis on adults, as well as animals and infants { causes nervous system damage in infants ages 3 and younger}.
Here’s a quote:
◇"Most of the concern stems from recorded incidents of bad skin reactions (on adults) and nervous system interaction in infants.“- Healthline
Phenoxyethanol Free Products:
◇ Caudalie VineActive Vitamin C Anti-Wrinkle Serum
◇Herbivore Prism 12% AHA 3% BHA Exfoliating Glow Serum
◇Josie Maran Argan Beta Retinol Pink Algae Serum
My opinion: its totally safe to use ONE product for adults containing phenoxyethanol every 6 hours. That way you wont get over exposure. If you like using more than one product on your face at a time try products that are free of this chemical to avoid harsh side effects. I feel using one or two products with phenoxyethanol wont kill you or even bother your skin ( in my experience) unless you are allergic.
Im totally investing in those products above to avoid over exposure. Lately my skins been very sensitive and red so i want to avoid any and all causes!
Keep the dullness away and the moisture in place with these skincare products
You’ve likely heard all the basic skincare rules - moisturize regularly, don’t exfoliate too often, never skip even one night of your beauty routine. Each step has a unique effect on your skin, yet all are associated with one common goal: to protect your skin barrier.

As a natural black woman with an afro, I would notrecommendthe haircare products. My hair turned out very dry even though they were moisturizing products.
The vegan skincare left my skin feeling refreshed and soft.
Disclaimer: I got these products free from BzzAgent, a site where you take surveys, test products, and share your reviews through social media and in person. So far I think I have only given a positive(ish) review to one out of three things they sent me, and they haven’t cut me off. So I respect that they respect honesty.
I received full-size bottles of Intense Hydration Cream Cleanser, Intense Hydration Night Cream, and Intense Hydration Treatment Mask, as well as samples of the Day Lotion, so I tried them all. My reviews below.
Finally got and tried my free sample of Origins GinZing moisturizer. It smells delicious and citrus-y. Its slightly thick and rich and goes on smooth and perfect under makeup. I didn’t feel too much of a perk from the caffeine(not as much and the Garnier stuff I use) but I did love the product. Samples are available in-stores but I got mine by mail (just sign up on the FB page!) A full sized jar is $26.50 on the website www.origins.com they have a few other products in the line as well! And eye cream, eye shadow and mascara!
Whenever someone says “Hey, can I send you free product to try that you won’t be allergic to?” my answer is always a resounding “Please continue feeding my addiction.” My editor asked, I answered, and I’m SO happy I did. One of the many random things I research is high quality, potent, natural skincare lines. Actually Organic is a brand that normally comes up in those searches. I always consider…
