Dry Brushing—body

Has anyone heard of the bareMinerals Ageless 10% Phyto-retinol night concentrate?

BareMinerals product

Honestly nothing bad to report, a little does go along way so just make sure not to apply too much because you can make the face look oily

I love this Vitamin C serum so far! A little goes a long way &amp; too much can make the skin look a bit oily. I only really use about 1&#47;2 a pump and it just instantly absorbs into the skin so nicely. It gives my face such a lovely glow and I’m incredibly happy so far with the results. 
The ingredient list is very impressive. One of the first ingredients is 𝙉𝙞𝙖𝙘𝙞𝙣𝙖𝙢𝙞𝙙𝙚 which has an endless amount of benefits for the skin. I also noticed they included not 1 but 2 forms of Vitamin C in this which is really going to ensure your getting all those brightening and antioxidants benefits out of this serum. 𝙎𝙦𝙪𝙖𝙡𝙖𝙣𝙚 which is a great hydrating ingredient for the skin. 𝙋𝙚𝙥𝙩𝙞𝙙𝙚𝙨 which are used to minimize irritation and has anti-aging properties. 𝙂𝙧𝙚𝙚𝙣 𝙇𝙚𝙖𝙛 𝙏𝙚𝙖 𝙀𝙭𝙩𝙧𝙖𝙘𝙩 used to reduce any redness, along with so many other extraxts with these antioxidant benefits.

I did notice 𝙋𝙝𝙚𝙣𝙤𝙭𝙮𝙚𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙣𝙤𝙡 is a little high up on the ingredient list; it is a preservative which can be a little harsh on the skin, especially for those with sensitive skin. There’s also 𝙋𝙚𝙥𝙥𝙚𝙧𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙩 and 𝘾𝙞𝙩𝙧𝙪𝙨 𝙤𝙞𝙡 which can be irritating to the skin but these are lower on the ingredient list, so they are at low concentrations and shouldn’t be too worrisome for those who usually stay away from products with essential oils. 

However, I do notice some people get reactions, so I would suggest you do a patch test at the back of your hand or neck to make sure you don’t get a reaction.

𝗝𝗲𝘁 𝗟𝗮𝗴 𝗠𝗮𝘀𝗸: As soon as I applied this mask it gave my face instant hydration. I used the mask as a sleep mask, as there are a couple ways to utilize it. The next morning my face was hydrated, glowy, and I am very happy with the results. 
One of the first ingredients is 𝘾𝙝𝙚𝙨𝙩𝙣𝙪𝙩 𝙀𝙭𝙩𝙧𝙖𝙘𝙩— an amazing and strong antioxidant. 𝙉𝙞𝙖𝙘𝙞𝙣𝙖𝙢𝙞𝙙𝙚— which is an overall great ingredient for reducing the appearance of large pores, damage, wrinkles, and is an antioxidant.
I am going to definitely keep using this mask! My face seems to love 😍

I did not find anything that i did not like

Off with the old, in with the new. Starting off my first #favoritesfriday with my all time favorite cleanser from @youthtothepeople !! I am on to my 2nd bottle &amp; can’t get enough. I bought their Combo Kit and love many of their products, but today I am going to talk about this product. 

At the beginning of quarantine my skin started to break out which I was not used to so I decided to switch up my cleanser and decided to finally give YTTP a shot. One of my best friends introduced me to this brand &amp; raved about it so I had to try it for myself. I saw results within a week and a half and I immediately bought 2 more for restock 🤩 

Why I love this cleanser?
(For reference: Skin Type: Normal-Dry)

✨ 100% Vegan ingredients 
✨ No parabens, phthalates, sulfates (harmful skin irritants and long term use can cause reactions) 
✨Beautiful, eco-friendly packaging 
✨Non-stripping, balances skins pH
✨Aloe Vera, Kale extract, Spinach leaf extract, Green tea leaf extract, Vitamin C &amp; E (all amazing ingredients that aid in refining and soothing the natural skin barrier)

The packaging needs work. White stuff tends to build up every time I use the product. Also, it is very sticky if you do not moisturize after

This product gives me an instant glow and helps with active breakouts
