“I woke up like dis”

I LOVE SK-II Sheet Masks because they contain Pitera— ooooooohhhhhh aaaaahhhhhhhhh

Pitera Is :

The astounding sight of the aged sake brewers’ wrinkled faces contrasting their soft youthful hands remained seared in the memories of the SK-II scientists.

Back in the confines of the laboratory, they surmised that the secret must lie in the fermentation liquid that the brewers’ hands were in constant contact with during the sake fermentation process.

A rigorous search of over 350 kinds of yeast was conducted before our researchers discovered the unique yeast strain that held the secret to crystal clear skin.

Pitera™ is full of vitamins, amino acids,
minerals and organic acids that work
together to allow the skin’s natural
surface rejuvenation process to
function at its prime.

IMG_9938I tend to use a sheet mask before bedtime once a month. Sometimes I fall asleep & forget to take it off, it’s all good.

Psoriasis

My husband uses Clobestasol for his flare up’s which hasn’t been working lately, ugh  (The Struggle)

All thru my early 20’s I had Psoriasis flare ups on the back of my neck (thank goodness my hair would cover it up). When I got pregnant in 2012 with my daughter I started eating more fruits and vegetables (super healthy diet).  I also started taking more vitamins & my Psoriasis went away.

The exact cause of Psoriasis remains unknown. Personally, I feel like Psoriasis is caused by an unhealthy diet, & poor health . We’ve heard great things about Chinese Medicine & how it has helped so many people dealing with Psoriasis, maybe one day he’ll try it.

Why I Love Thayers Witch Hazel

Thayers has ben around since 1847, & in 1989 Witch Hazel with Aloe Vera as born. I’m sure Doctor #Thayer would be proud to still see his brand on store shelves today 🙂 I started using witch hazel about 2 years ago & I absolutely love how it makes my skin feel. It really helps remove the hard water from your skin & all the leftover makeup.  I was running low on my lemon toner so I purchased a new bottle of the original astringent. What I love about these toners is that they all contain Aloe Vera which is extremely beneficial for the skin

How I use Thayers: 

After cleansing my face I put Thayers on a cotton round & go over my face, neck & décolleté. This removes the dirt, oil, & makeup that my cleanser didn’t remove. This toner does not leave my skin feeling tight & stripped. My skin feels moisturized & clean.
FullSizeRender-89 I always use the toners that contain SD Alcohol 40-B, however they also have alcohol free toners.

Please note that SD-40 alcohol is not the same as the much harsher ethyl or isopropyl alcohol (both forms of rubbing alcohol) It’s high-grade purified grain alcohol, & not synthetically produced.

Benefit Cosmetics

 

 

 

Benefit cosmetics had a great gift with purchase at Macy’s. A lovely cosmetic case that I was excited to get + inside the bag was a free pore minimizer & blot stick. I can always use these free samples when I’m on set doing makeup 🙂 The lady at the counter also gave me extra free samples!  (Eye cream & Mascara) Double Triple Score!

 

FullSizeRender-84The items I purchased yesterday:

ACV 🍍

Tip # 1 

If you can’t drink ACV straight mix it with pineapple juice to make the shot go down a little easier 😉

1 benefit of ACV :

Balances the skin’s pH levels! It can also help treat skin conditions like acne when used regularly.


It tastes horrible 

It smells awful

But the benefits are delicious 🍦

Gifts From Babor

I love when we get gifts at work ! Rounded peach kernals in the mild peel feels great on the skin & fluid/serums are always great to re-boot for the skin. 

SHISEIDO IBUKI PURIFYING CLEANSER IS ON MY FACE 🕐🕗🕦

What’s not to love about AHA peels? This is a fruit acid peeling mask that has a combination of glycolic & lactic acid.

Have you ever had the chance to try an AHA peel ?

– minimizes fine lines & wrinkles
– removes dead skin cells & deep-seated impurities
– accelerates the rate of cell division & thus skin renewal
– ensures a fresh and even complexion with a healthy glow
