My Daily Skin Care Routine

Hello Divas!

I hope you had a fabulous weekend! I relaxed and chilled inside. Some of you have emailed me wondering what is my daily skin care routine. My skin is oily and prone to breakouts, i.e., blackheads and whiteheads. In addition, I have found that I have to switch products because my skin can become immune to a set regimen. For example, at the beginning of last year I was using Rx For Brown Skin's Bright and Even Collection. It was fabulous. However after the birth of my daughter my skin started to break out. I then started using Oil of Olay's Anti-Aging Anti-Blemish collection. The Oil of Olay regime did clear up the breakouts but it left my skin extremely dry. So I modified my skincare regimen once again and started using RoC cleansing pads and RoC Retinol Cream underneath pure Olive Oil. The RoC products removed dead skin and begin to repair blemishes. The Olive Oil was a perfect moisturizer to combat dry skin that can occur when using Retinol. Also Olive Oil is a fantastic anti-aging beauty product. Read my review of Olive Oil here.

My skin has significantly calmed down now. Currently, I am using Lumene skincare. I know I have talked about Lumene Products for the past week, but they are really good! Here is what I am using now:

Morning

Facial Cleanser: Lumene Matt Touch Balancing Gel Cleanser
Toner: Clean and Clear Sensitive Skin Deep Cleaning Astringent
Moisturizer: Lumene Age-Defying Day Cream with Vitamin C and SPF 15. SPF 15 is a must if using Retinol.

Night

Facial Cleanser: Lumene Matt Touch Balancing Gel Gleanser
Toner: Clean and Clear Sensitive Skin Deep Cleaning Astringent
RoC: Retinol Correxion Deep Wrinkle Night Cream.

I am getting tons of compliments on my skin. It definitely looks better and has a little glow to it. But I am sure my weekly mini-facials are also helping!

Please leave me a comment and let me know what is your daily morning and night skincare routine. Also please share what products you use. I am always looking to try something new!

Good Ole Olive Oil

Hello Divas!

I hope your weekend was fabulous! Mine was hectic, but good. Well last week, I was visiting one of my absolute fav beauty blogs, Shake Your Beauty, and Ms. Tia announced that she was preggers with.....a little girl. Yeeeaaah! She asked her readers for recommendations of products she can use during her pregnancy. Well ladies, I recommended Extra Virgin Olive Oil. I tell you E.V. Olive Oil is a must have, all natural, beautifying moisturizer that rocks! When I became pregnant, my Aunt recommend that I use Olive Oil to prevent stretch marks. She said it would loosen my skin so that it could stretch freely and it would keep my skin moisturized. When you have a baby growing inside your belly, your skin becomes very itchy and dry. Well I massaged my belly, legs, arms, breast, and rear with E.V. Olive Oil every morning and night and two pregnancies later, I do not have one stretch mark! Now you see why I am absolutely in love with E.V. Olive Oil. I also discovered that I could use it on my hair for moisture and sheen. But if you do use it on your hair, only use a teeny bit. I also used it on my face when my skin was extra dry. For some reason, while pregnant, the skin on my face was super dry when normally I have oily skin. Well the E.V. Olive Oil moisturized my face and did not leave it oily. My skin just glowed! And after doing some research, I discovered that Extra Virgin Olive Oil has antioxidants and is a great anti-aging moisturizer for the face! What more can you ask for?? Again, my skin glowed everywhere I used the E.V. Olive Oil! I can't rave about E.V. Olive Oil enough! I still use E.V. Olive Oil when my skin or hair is dry or I just need that glow factor. I use Pompeian Extra Virgin Olive Oil. You can purchase it at any grocery store. Divas try E.V. Olive Oil and I know you will love it too!

Toodles!
