Happy Friday all! I have always loved taking care of my hair & skin because they're both very important to me. I work at a beauty boutique so I have learned so much about hair & skin through the years with different training. Using the right products is crucial & very important if you want healthy looking hair & skin.
Skin Care: What I Use
Cetaphil Daily Facial cleanser: The reason why I love this cleanser is it's gentle yet effective & smells amazing! You can find it at Walgreens or Target (along with other drugstores). It is a super mild foaming cleanser that removes makeup & surface oils. It is made for normal/oily skin types.
Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant: This product is a life savor! It's a powder that when water is added forms a foaming milky substance. It does an amazing job at exfoliating & it's safe to use everyday! I would recommend using it in the morning because you get a serious glow from this one.
Dermalogica Gentle Cream Exfoliant: Another one of my favorites from Dermalogica. This two in one product works as an exfoliant & a mask. I use this once a week to restore my skin. It also gives you a healthy glow.
Dermalogica Ultracalming Mist: Since my skin is so sensitive I have to be super careful with what I'm using on my skin. Dermalogica has a full Ultra Calming line that is absolutely amazing, but my favorite is this mist. After I am done cleansing & exfoliating I spritz this toner on my face & neck for immediate hydration and relief. A little tip is to store a bottle in your fridge in the summer and when you come home you can spritz it all over, it'll be nice and chilled! Also, if you're skin is feeling tight & dry you can spray over makeup! It won't ruin it or take it off. (The bottle comes in a mini size for your bag)
Dermalogica Active Moist: When it comes to moisturizing I want something basic that'll do it's job. Active Moist does just that without leaving my skin feeling oily. Dermalogica also has two other moisturizers that are medium & heavy weight depending on your skin. If you're in the Des Moines area you can grab Dermalogica products at Beauty First in West Des Moines, & every second Saturday professional skincare is 20% off.
Bobbi Brown Eye Cream: I don't use eye cream as much as I should, but this Bobbi Brown eye cream feels amazing & is super soothing.
Aquaphor: The best stuff ever created. If you have dry cracked skin anywhere, use this shit.
Hair Care: Just My Favorites (I use too much)
AG Ultramoist & Xtramoist Shampoo + Conditioner: I'm nuts about AG products because they are on the natural side yet still deliver amazing quality. This shampoo & conditioner are enriched with moisture & protein to leave the hair hydrated, shiny and nourished.
It's a 10 Miracle Leave In Product: I have super long hair that gets tangly very easily. If I spray this in right after my shower and leave it on for a couple minutes my hair isn't as tangly. It also smells nice & delivers 10 benefits to your hair. Worth it!
Bumble & Bumble Surf Spray: I spray this into my hair when I want that messy bed-head look. It gives you undone texture/second day hair.
Moroccanoil Hydrating Mask: Use masks/deep conditioners no more than twice a week. People don't realize that if you overdue it you will get reverse results. Anyway this mask is amazing! I've been using it for years & it never disappoints.
Wet Brush: Best brush for detangling. The super flexible bristles don't tug on your hair. I also use this in my dry hair. Life savor!
Moroccanoil: I have also been using moroccanoil on my hair since I can remember. It honestly is the best hydrating treatment for your hair.
I hope everyone has a great weekend! xx
