Which products/brands are you  incorporating in your routine this new month ? 

Mine : SKIN 1004 Centella light cleansing oil .

New month New skin !

Watching a tiktok today and a dermatologist said “ if you double cleanse ,there is no need for a toner because the toner is supposed to pickup the leftover dirt that just cleansers  can’t pick up and if you’re double cleansing your skin is clean enough “ 

I thought toners was for balancing pH so what’s happening?

Are toners necessary ?

Am I grateful to benzoyl peroxide ? Yes ! 
Never thought I’d share these but here we are . I made a post yesterday on a platform concerning benzoyl Peroxide and Chemical exfoliant and it made me realize how much it did for me . 

Benzoyl peroxide works to treat and prevent acne by killing bacteria underneath the skin, as well as helping the pores shed dead skin cells and excess sebum (oil). 

How to use benzoyl peroxide gel?

The amount of gel you need to use is sometimes measured in fingertip units. This is the amount you can squeeze onto the end of your finger.

As a general rule, a fingertip unit of gel is enough to treat an area that's twice the size of the palm of your hand.

If you need to treat your whole face, use a strip of gel 2.5cm long each time.

Wash your hands.
Wash the affected area with a mild skin cleanser and water.
Gently pat your skin dry.
Put a thin layer of gel on all the affected areas.
Wash your hands again.

BENZOYL PEROXIDE!!!

Bakuchiol is a vegan skincare ingredient found in the leaves and seeds of the Psoralea corylifolia plant. It is a potent antioxidant, visibly reduces skin discolourations from environmental exposure, and has a pronounced soothing effect on skin.

What does bakuchiol do for your skin?
It can reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, help restore firmness, refine skin texture and even out skin tone. Bakuchiol helps to calm skin making it a good option for those whose skin shows signs of sensitivity. When paired with retinol, bakuchiol can help stabilise it and keep it effective for longer.

Does Bakuchiol lighten the skin ? 
Since bakuchiol minimizes the synthesis of melanin , it therefore brightens the skin tone .

What to pair Bakuchiol with ? 
There are very few ingredient contradictions of bakuchiol, so you’re safe to layer it with your vitamin C, hyaluronic, niacinamide, or any other ingredient. And if you’re wondering can bakuchiol be used with retinol, the answer is yes. Just make sure to add plenty of hydration

What not to pair Bakuchiol with ? 
It is advised to avoid combining it with glycolic acid, as it could potentially degrade its formula.

What is Bakuchiol?

It’s a little bit thick making a little bit go a long way. I do not use as a lip balm because it feels much better as an overnight mask for a lip balm you have to keep reapplying 💜

This is a conditioning , moisturizing, plumping lip gloss balm .
It contains Bergamot, Mallow leaf and sage 
My thoughts : This lip gloss balm is very moisturizing and has subtle plumping effects , the stain is not really noticeable on my lips . It’s perfect as an overnight mask because it makes my lips feel super moisturized . 
  I love the way it came , the jar it came in makes it more hygienic and the top can be wiped easily after each use with clean cotton pad . I do not use as a lip balm because it feels much better as an overnight mask for a lip balm you have to keep reapplying 💜

There isn’t anything specifically bad about this product .

The Biore UV Aqua rich sunscreen is a very good sunscreen that aids easy application . It’s is a very light sunscreen hence can be reapplied effortlessly ,it is lightweight and a little moisturizing , almost instantly disappears into the skin . 

I think the only issue I have is that it’s a little small in size I’d really love an upgraded bottle size 

This is a very very good essence and I love the fact that it’s vegan and a good alternative to snail mucin ? It also serve as an exfoliant . Overall I really love this product and I’d be repurchasing 

There is nothing bad about this product I just want it in a bigger size if it’s possible .

I started using this serum three weeks ago and all I can say is I’m in love with it .The long active lash serum boosts lash health ,it’s is non irritating and the best part ? It’s Vegan ! I love it so so so much it doesn’t really feel heavy /oily too .

⚠️you have to keep recharging the application g device for usage .

This eye cream is definitely an escape to a luxury skincare experience. It's an eye cream that contains collagen extract, as well as silkworm cocoon extract to brighten the eye area and improve elasticity. It comes with a rechargeable eye care device that is fun to use, nice and soothing .
The device has 3 levels of functionality
-Green for massage, red for heating, and Yellow for vibration & Heating
It also melts easily into the skin and has zero fragrance.
