Went searching for some items to ease into my skin care regimen, so I figured why not whip out the camera and share what I got!
Skyn Iceland Hydro Cool Firming Eye Gels
I've been wanting to try theses little babies for a while. It seems that no matter what I do I can't get rid of these bags under my eyes. Is chronic under eye bag syndrome that like a thing or did I just make that up?
sleep
cucumbers
sleeping eye masks
cold spoons

ice
coffee grinds
coffee beans

tea bags
frozen veggies
You name it, I've tried it twice! So what's another few dollars to try another remedy...right? So since there are 2 sets in this package and since I'm a little more swollen under the eyes right now than usual, I'll probably use them two days in a row instead of once a week just to get a feel for how they would work if I wasn't so puffy.
Wish me luck!
Deep Cleansing Charcoal Mask
My favorite auntie in the whole wide world sent me this goodie from Mary Kay! I needed to add something else to the facial products I already had in rotation & since charcoal is the trending ingredient for a lot of new products I figured why not. The reviews I've been reading say that charcoal has "absorbing powers." It is also said that our skin will not absorb the charcoal itself as it does other things we put on our face and skin, but it does absorb substances such as oil, bacteria or dirt from our clogged pores. This absorbing power helps our skin fight acne, which I clearly need these days.
I've had more acne over the last year than I had through all of my teenaged years combined. I'm not sure why since I haven't changed my routine on caring for my skin. No new regimen, no new products...I didn't the need to change anything...then. New reactions, can be and are very stressful only causing more acne, thus causing more stress. Does that make any sense? Nonetheless, I'm trying whatever will work.
You will continuously see me mentioning the issues I'm having with my face breaking out. I'm choosing not to use filters on the subject as well as the photos (when I build up the confidence to post before and after photos) because people need to see what real skin looks like! As long as I'm having theses issues I will share them. Miraculously, if I find something that actually works then you'll be here to celebrate that small victory with me, and I you!

| Coconut body butter |
Thankfully, the skin on my body isn't as sensitive as the skin on my face. I went to Ulta looking for some products for my face, got frustrated and decided to go a different direction. I do notice a difference in how my skin responds to moisturizer, especially when the seasons change so I wanted something that was long lasting. When I say this stuff smells SO good!
I'll let you guys know what I think about everything in a follow up video!
Thanks for reading!
