Hello my fellow Pickys. Are you changing you le skincare routine for the spring? My skin gets really dry in the wintertime but I live in Texas where is usually hot and humid most of the year so I have to switch up my skincare routine and use a lighter moisturizer. What are some of your favorite products to use when the weather gets warmer?

Changing Skincare Routine for Spring?

I think my melasma has gotten worse with age. I started regurlarly using SPF a few years ago to prevent additional discoloration but I’ve never actively used a product to treat my melasma. 
  
What product have you found to be most effective at correcting and /or lightening your melasma?

Do you suffer from Melasma?

Its very pricey but an absolute game changer!

You can instantly feel the difference when applying this serum! Your skin will immediately feel supple and hydrated throughout the day and you will start seeing the difference in your skin within the first week. This is one of my long-time staple items and the improved formula makes it that much better!

Its a little on the pricier side but well worth it

My Good Genes All-in-One Lactic Acid treatment was gifted by Sunday Riley for testing purposes. I was so looking forward to trying this product, and let me tell you it did not disappoint! When you first apply it to your face you can feel the tingling sensation. After a few minutes you can start to feel the texture of your skin change, it also appears a lot more soft and supple. My skin texture has improved after a few days and it feels noticeably softer. Lactic acid is clinically proven to significantly plump the skin to diminish the appearance of fine lines and boost radiance in just a few minutes. I will continue to use this serum.

I do find that it can be slightly drying, so it may be better for more oily prone skin.

I’ve never been a fan of cream cleanser‘s so I was hesitant to try this one out however I am glad that I did! This cream cleanser is pH balancing and effectively  removes dirt and grime from your face. It’s even effective at removing your make up and most of your eyeliner and mascara within one cleanse.  If you haven’t tried this out I definitely recommend it.

This product is so good but it’s hard to budget in the cost

I am absolutely obsessed with my rich Cream. This product is a true game changer and my skin looks the best it ever has. I see a ton of reviews stating that this product did not do anything for them, to those I say they probably didn’t use the product right. 

This cream is meant to be the first step after cleansing in order for the TFC8 technology to be effective on the skin. It’s up to you to use additional products thereafter.
The TFC8 technology helps with cell turnover, and in my experience has diminished the appearance of fine lines and enlarged pores in my t zone area. I have broken out due to hormones while using this cream and have noticed that my blemishes have been healing at an accelerated rate and my skin has been looking bright and plump.
It comes in a blue glass bottle with a copper lid which is very appealing to the eye. The cream itself is very thick and rich but starts melting into your face quickly I find that three pumps are enough for my face and neck area I start at the top and work my way down to the neck. After using the rich cream I proceed with my regular beauty routine, including toner, and serum.
The only downside is the price tag. It is very expensive cream but if you’re using it right you’ll probably be grateful you made the investment.

 The bad thing about this product is maybe the price. It is a prestige mascara, so it has the price tag to go along with it but in my opinion, it’s totally worth it. 

When I first started wearing prestige make up, Estée Lauder became my go to. The double wear stay in place foundation is unlike any other I’ve ever tried, and the mascaras are in comparable. My favorite of them all is the Estée Lauder sumptuous, infinite during length and volume mascara. The product is highly pigmented, and the bristles help lengthen and cope each of your lashes, while separating to avoid a clumpy mess.
