3/28/2020 0 Comments SKINCARE SUNDAY: budget-friendly PRODUCTS I USE TO CALM INFLAMMATION + PROTECT my skinthe only good thing...
about this quarantine, is the fact that for the most part, we're not required to wear makeup – meaning our skin gets a rest. I've been using this time to really tap into my moisture levels + ensuring my skin is getting the protection, hydration + antioxidants it needs to stay fresh, healthy + well duh, glowy! I've outlined the morning routine I grab when I need to soothe redness, pack in the antioxidants + have a supple hydrated moisture barrier.
So go ahead, let it breathe - give your skin the love + care it deserves. SEE THE PRODUCTS IN ACTIONTHE PRODUCTSSKYN ICELAND GLACIAL FACE WASH
A cooling glacial cleanser formulated for more sensitive skin types that is gentle, fights against free radicals + helps soothe stressed skin from environmental triggers. This cleanser is vegan, natural + cruelty-free with key ingredients including: Retinol, Alpha Hydroxy Acids, Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Jojoba, Amino Acids, Shea Butter.
WHY I LOVE THIS PRODUCT This is my go-to morning cleanser due to the cooling + calming nature of the ingredients. I instantly feel more awake, less visibly red + I personally see a reduction in my puffiness overall. When using this cleanser I never have any irritation with my skin or blemishes when I have them. The oat + amino surfactants allow for a calming approach to sensitive skin + better absorption/spread of product. White willow bark reduces pore size + soothes skin with a refreshing cooling sensation. The cream base is non aggressive + is a great option for those with normal to drier skin types! INNISFREE Green Tea Seed Intensive Hydrating Serum
A hydrating serum packed with green tea seed oils + extract that amps up skins moisture barrier resulting in a more hydrated, less dull + even skin.
WHY I LOVE THIS PRODUCT I received this as a sample + have been hooked since! I love the consistency - it is a tacky gel-like feeling that absorbs into the skin very nicely without leftover residue, sticky feeling of the skin (p.s. you WANT your hyaluronic acid's to be tacky NOT a thin liquid form) I am a huge K-beauty fan so if you are too, I highly recommend checking out this brand! My skin feels hydrated, soothed from the green tea + all at an incredibly reasonable price. MAD HIPPIE VITAMIN C SERUM
Vitamin C serum packed with an antioxidant blend that helps brighten, tighten + protect skin while fighting against visible signs of again.
WHY I LOVE THIS PRODUCT I love that this brand uses SAP, one of the most stable forms of ascorbic acid (aka vitamin c) meaning the shelf life will be longer + you will get quicker benefits from the product itself. This serum not only feels great on the skin but after using this for 1 month I definitely can see a difference in the overall tone of my skin. This product also has Ferulic acid + vitamins A, B, D + E as well, meaning this product is packed with antioxidants, protects from environmental damage whilst aiding in repairing the skin. HERBIVORE PHOENIX FACE SERUM
A serum that replenishes moisture levels in the skin while also helping with lack of firmness + elasticity as well as reducing the appearance of fine lines + wrinkles.
WHY I LOVE THIS PRODUCT This is another favorite of mine, but it's also Herbivore so i'm sure you could have guessed that - ha! After using this I notice an increase in the overall plump + hydrated feeling in my skin. This product is rich in antioxidants + fatty acids meaning it protects your lipid barrier (aka hydration/minimizes water loss) so if you are looking for something to lock in hydration without being comedogenic, then this is the product for you. SKYN ICELAND THE ANTIDOTE COOLING LOTION
A lightweight moisturizer designed for stressed out skin in need of hydration, balance, and decrease in redness. Free of parabens, petroleum, mineral oil, chemical sulfates and phthalates. 100% vegan and cruelty-free
WHY I LOVE THIS PRODUCT The cooling effect is a game changer. I frequently wake up with slight redness + puffiness around my eyes and as soon as I use this lotion I have an immediate glacial cooling sensation resulting in relief from hot skin + am visibly less red. This doesn't have any affect when using prior to makeup application, has zero greasy feeling + is great for oilier skin types! TIZO3 Tinted Moisturizer SPF 40
WHY I LOVE THIS PRODUCT
This is hands down my favorite sunscreen. I love that is is a mineral base so you are only getting the 'screen ingredients that are safe for our skin but this brand is also coral reef safe + eco friendly! The coverage goes on easily without being greasy, oily or creating too much of a film. I personally prefer the tinted version because I always have a nice subtle bronzed, healthy look to the skin ( no, it doesn't go on like a true bronzer its SUBTLE) but if you decide on the non-tinted, i'd recommend warming in your fingers before applying.
