My Farewell To Cherie
Follow me on Ig for more skincare since Cherie is leaving 😭 @naturedskinv
This has been an amazing journey and I’ve made soo many amazing friends. Thank you for all the love, conversations, and just overall happiness I’ve experienced on this app.
I’m definitely sad, a little upset, and a dash of confused, but thank you @cheriefor giving me such an amazing confidence boost and guidance. The way the app shaped my thoughts on skincare has been insane. I’m still willing to forget this and call it a joke if y’all are! 😭
Anyways thank you again and hopefully we can stay in touch 🙏🏾
Do It All Toner 🍃🍃
I have been loving the brand Truly lately ✨
I recently purchased this:
🍃TRULY - CBD Jelly Toning Solution 🍃
And it’s by far one of my favorite toners.
Ingredients:
💚100MG CBD
💚Glycolic Acid
💚Tea Tree Oil
💚Organic Aloe
💚Rose Petal Extract
This brand is also:
💚Vegan
💚Cruelty Free
💚Clean
I use this every other night and it as tremendously helped my skin barrier and acne. I was really concerned about the glycolic acid irritating or drying my skin but it didn’t at all 🤩
I highly recommend this to combo and oily , acne prone skin. This will be a toner I keep in my night routine. I got it from Ulta (of course) for $24 (I paid $15 after coupons)
Do you use CBD products? 🍃
Clear Hydrated Skin The Clean Way✨
Staying in the trend of clean beauty, I have found an amazing product to add to my everyday routine.
Odacité SKINCARE - Blue Aura Cleansing Water
This is a cleansing water that is marketed to use in place of your cleanser for a “quick” clean.
When looking for a good cleansing water, you want one that is hydrating and gets your face clean. Keep in mind not all cleansing waters are designed to clean makeup (I highly recommend a cleansing balm and cleanser).
About This Brand:
✨Vegan
✨Cruelty Free
✨Certified Organic
✨ NO: Fillers | Parabens | Nanoparticles | Petrochemicals | PEG | Synthetic perfumes | Dyes | Phenoxyethanol.
This cleansing water is so hydrating and satisfying to use. It smells very fresh and a little goes a long way. What is very important to me is my dry spot aren’t tight or irritated. I have been using this day and night and have seen amazing results acne and skin barrier wise.
I included this in my routine after a regular cleanser and before my serums. So essentially, I use this as a “toner”. I do this to clean up anything my cleanse left behind, or the cleanser itself.
INGREDIENTS:
✨Tumeric: Amazing for hyperpigmentation and overall skin brightness
✨Holy Basil: I drink the tea and can vouch this is an amazing adaptogen that can overall benefit every aspect of your life. It combats aging and free radical damage.
✨Neem: great anti aging ingredient that helps protects your skin barrier.
✨Aloe Vera Juice: this is great for your skin barrier overall. It hydrated, protects and brightens.
I highly recommend this cleansing water and it is on sale for $9 at Boxycharm Pop Up 🥰🥰
Wednesday Wellness 🙏🏾
This past week has been rather hard and long for me. I ultimately decided to get back on track with my wellness plan. My main wellness goal for 2021, is to indulge in myself more. I definitely am a firm believe in “as within, so without”.
I started my day with:
#Four Sigmatic - Mushroom Elixir Mix with Chaga[products]#[FiveStars]
I have been getting back into adaptogen and herbal medicine. What we put into our bodies is just as important as what goes on the outside. Adaptogens are apart of ancient medicinal traditions traced all over the world. I also drink Tulsi “Holy Basil” Tea. If you need a pick me up or emotional boost I highly recommend!
SUNDAY RILEY - U.F.O. Ultra-Clarifying Face Oil is my treatment of choice I used during the day. Do not be afraid to use salicylic acid during the day. I applied plenty of sunscreen afterwards as well! This is a GODSEND for clearing up acne and acne scarring. It’s by far the best acne treatment I’ve tried and its mostly due to the immediate results I get. This is a dry oil, so it should be used before a heavy moisturizer or sunscreen.
THE BODY SHOP - Spa of the World Thai Makrut Lime Firming Oil is a staple in my night time routine. When I want to relax and really unwind I use a body roller with this oil. It smells like a fresh key lime pie and it’s so hydrating. This is great for firming, especially when paired with a body tool.
What do you do for wellness?
Black Owned Makeup Look
So I decided to use the products I pictured in my first photo (minus my highlight shade and lipstick)
I used the #Ace Beaute - Nostalgia Palette[products]#[FiveStars] for my entire eye look.
I definitely enjoyed these products. My only advice is to shake the UOMA BEAUTY - Say What?! Foundation before use (because it can come out watery) but the coverage is absolutely flawless. I was shocked with the consistency the coverage I got.
What’s your favorite black owned brands?
(I do not own right to the song)
