 MY TOP SKINCARE MUST-HAVES



Despite my urge to gate-keep all of my goodies, I have decided I must share my secrets with all three of you reading this lmao. I do want to preface this post by saying I was on accutane a few years ago which has drastically changed my skin ever since. If you don't know what accutane is, well lucky you! I developed cystic acne after working at a pizzeria all throughout high school and I tried everything. Accutane was my last resort and the only thing that ultimately cleared my acne. Since taking the medication, my skin has been incredibly sensitive and these are the only products that I have found that do not result in irritation. I included the link for you to further research and order these products as well :)

SKINCARE TIPS & TRICKS

Always apply your skincare to a damp face!!!! Most products need moisture to be fully absorbed. 

Invest in a gua sha. Just do it, we all know you have been debating on buying one since you saw them trending on Tik Tok. Doooooooo it. Added to cart? Great! Enter your card info, I'll wait. Yay! Once your gua sha is shipped and you begin using it, make sure to use an oil or face wash when using it. You do not want to tug on your skin.  

Aloe vera is a must right out of the shower. No questions.

Research which products need to be applied in the morning and which ones need to be used overnight. It can be tedious but you want the most out of your skincare if you are spending the money! 

EVERY MORNING, I repeat, EVERY MORNING you should be doing a lymphatic drainage massage on your face. I freeze a cucumber then use it to do the massage on my face and down my neck and it de-puffs my face and creates even more definition in my cheekbones. This is a game changer I promise you. 

Brush your brows. You will look more put together if you do. Full, fluffy brows are in. I just use a sample mascara wand I stole from Sephora and it works wonders lol. Add caster oil if they look sparse. 

Vaseline for juicy, plump lips. I shit you not, I have been asked several times if I had gotten filler from just simply using vaseline as gloss. There are multiple scents, I am a fan of the shea butter one. 

Plain greek yogurt can be used as a mask to reduce dark spots and scarring. Great snack to meet your protein intake too! 

Your skincare should end at your chest. Yes. Your chest!! I did not know this until recently, but skincare products should be applied to your face, neck, chest, and I even will use the residual on my hands to heal the calluses from the gym.
