Skin Care FAVS!!
/
I never thought I would see the day where I would be giving out skin care advice mainly because I have the kind of skin where if you just look at it wrong ... I break out. So now that I have a system that has been working for me I feel like I should share some of my secrets. To say this has been a lonnnng trial and error would be an understatement! In January I decided enough was enough I wanted better skin. So that meant stepping outside of Wallgreens/drugstores because that wasn't doing it for me anymore. I have done a lot of "research,' aka I've spent hours watching makeup gurus on youtube and stalking the Sephora's review page HA. So clearly I am no expert here lol. I can only speak to what has been working for me. I have very acne prone/sensitive skin for those that are curious if my skin care routine would be a good match for you. So if you are anything like my husband who never washes his face and couldn't tell the difference between a face wash bottle and the shampoo well this post isn't for you.

Luna works throughout the night to deliver more visibly youthful, luminous, even-toned skin in the morning.

Balanced with blue tansy and German chamomile essential oils—both rich in soothing, blue azulene—the look of redness and sensitivity are visibly balanced for a calm, even-toned complexion. Luna is clinically proven to improve the appearance of fine lines, radiance, and skin smoothness in as little as four weeks, while advanced retinol ester mixed with potent botanicals makes this product the ultimate transformational, soothing, sleeping night oil.

This stuff is a little newer to my routine but I can tell its helping to reduce pores and clear up any stubborn acne. HOWEVER!!! it says you can put this on in the morning under your makeup... LIES! don't do it!! I wear this at night to sleep only!!

Tea tree oil and black cumin seed oil support clear skin, while hexylresorcinol and licorice naturally brighten the appearance of old acne discolorations for a more even-toned complexion.
Counterbalancing the potentially drying effects of salicylic acid, milk thistle and cucumber seed oil nourish the skin and smooth the appearance of lines and wrinkles, without leaving a greasy residue. Chamomile and neroli soothe stressed, blemish-prone skin.

This stuff is amazing and pairs well with the eradikate! I think these were the first two products I bought when I started switching out products and they are amazing!!!
This spot treatment is my holy grail!!! It says on the top not to shake which seems weird because when stuff starts to separate our natural reaction is to shake it up, but don't do that! Let it settle and dip your q-tip in once its separated.
Last but not least!!! This bad boy right here! My friend @krysten.I started selling arbonne a couple months back and gave me a sample of this eye cream. Who would have thought I would fall absolutely in love with it ... well probably Krysten lol. I am huge on wrinkle prevention and since I'm almost 27 I want all the help I can get and this stuff definitely helps with that!
From Arbonnes site
Pat this on gently around the eye area for deep hydration that locks in moisture to help reduce the look of fine lines and deep wrinkles. Caffeine helps diminish the appearance of puffiness and dark circles through hydration while olive squalane provides moisturization to help nourish the delicate eye area for a youthful-looking glow.
