in my skincare. This past month I have been using and loving Raw Beauty Co’s skincare line. The line is designed to give you smoother, younger looking skin without the use of harsh chemicals. They use the “world’s most exotic ingredients, organic tropical botanicals, herbal infusions, and essential vitamins & minerals.” My favorites in the line are the BalancedBeauty Serum and Brightener as well as the Beautiana Daily Cleanser & Remover. The serum is a Vitamin C base that exfoliates and brightens. It is enriched with Niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, and plant and fruit extracts. Skin is left balanced, hydrated, and protected. I use the Beautiana cleanser day and night. It is very gentle yet removes dirt and makeup. It’s enhanced with conditioning properties to soothe and tighten skin. I recommend checking out the whole line. Natural skincare has come a long way. 

I’ve added some additions to my beauty vanity this month. Summer means skins, and here’s how I’m taking care of mine;

At night I’m washing my face with Peter Thomas Roth’s 3% Glycolic Solutions Cleanser. It is anti-aging & exfoliating. It removes my makeup and any excess oil. The Glycolic Acid shrinks pores, improves clarity and reduces fine lines. 

For day and night Eye Cream I’m using Park Perfection’s 2 in 1 Instant Eye Lift. It’s designed to tighten and lift the eye skin while reducing wrinkles and puffiness. It uses minerals, peptides and antioxidants to balance and enhance skin around the eye. 

I was overdue for a new foundation brush. I am very happy with NYX Cosmetics Total Control Drop Foundation Brush. It’s designed for liquid but i’ve used it with my powders as well. It blends perfectly. I love that is it angled to get around every curve of your face. 

I am obsessed with Macadamia Professional Nourishing Repair Oil Spray. It’s officially summer, which means I’m not drying my hair. I let it air dray and then add this spray for a finished look. It has an ultra fine spray and instantly adds shine, moisture, softness, and uv protection. It says to use on wet hair, but I’ve been using it on both wet and dry. 

Bodyography is a clean beauty brand, that infuses their products with beneficial ingredients like antioxidants, superfoods, and minerals. The whole line is cruelty free, paraben free, and gluten free. I have been using their Pro Perfect Foundation Stick, and their Hydrating Mask. The Foundation Stick gives medium to full coverage with a demi-matte finish. It glides on quick and easy for a flawless complexion. I put it on directly to my skin and blend out with a foundation brush. You can play around with multiple sticks to use for contouring and concealing. The foundation is infused with Vitamins C&E and Aloe. The Hydrating Mask uses antioxidant fruit and plant extracts. It hydrates and improves texture to leave you with a healthy glow. Skin is left plump and hydrated. So treat yourself with Bodyography, and let others take note…

I usually like full coverage, matte, foundation. When I want to go a step less than full, with a little luminosity I use Koh Gen Do Maifanshi Aqua Foundation. It is stated to give a right after facial glow, and I think that is the perfect description. It uses light diffusing minerals to brighten and minimize pores while resisting oiliness. It is very lightweight and breathable. It contains lots of good for you ingredients to improve your skins texture and health. So lighten up your foundation this summer with Koh Gen Do, and take something off….

softest lips this morning thanks to Laneige’s Lip Sleeping Mask. I love this product and will continue to keep it as a staple in my nighttime routine. The mask is designed to closely adhere to lips for quick absorbtion. It is enriched with Vitamin C, antioxidants,hyaluronic acid, and minerals. It uses a ‘Berry Mix Complex’ made of a blend of raspberry, strawberry, cranberry, and blueberry extracts. Lips are left soft and flake free.

Pai Skincare is made in London and my Miami skin can not get enough of it! The line is created for sensitive skin, but benefits all types. Their Light Work Rosehip Cleansing Oil is quickly becoming one of my favorite oil cleansers. It removes all makeup, with no eye irritation. I love that when you rinse it off there is no oil residue left on the skin. I follow that with the Rice Plant & Rosemary BioAffinity Tonic. It refreshes and rebalances skin and brings it to the correct pH. It is rich in vitamins, minerals, and amino acids. Then comes the amazing Rosehip BioRegenerate Oil. This oil gives your skin an immediate glow. Andean Rosehip oil is rich in Omegas 3,6,7, & 9. It has antioxidant carotenoids to repair and protect skin. This oil is “packed with twice the regenrative sterols and five times more carotenoids than your average cold pressed rosehip seed oil” So try out Pai products, and don’t be so sensitive ;)….

with Vitamin C. Thanks to Serumtologie you can have all major moisture and antioxidant protection. Their C Serum 22 and Pure Whipped Chiffon Moisturizer is luxurious and effective at an affordable cost. The serum “combines a revolutionary form of vitamin C, at a 22% concentration level, along with synergistic actives including botanical hyaluronic acid, MSM, vitamin E and ferulic acid. It was formulated to be the most effective vitamin c serum on the market and offers exceptional value compared to other high end products.” The moisturizer is designed to be a perfect second step to the serum. It is nourishing, yet lightweight. It has Organic jojoba oil, shea butter and olive fruit oil deliver deep moisture. Certified Organic gotu kola and horsetail extract contain high levels of trace elements and minerals that help restore skin elasticity while smoothing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Regular vitamin C is very unstable and many typical vitamin C products are inactive by the time they are used on the skin. So even if your unstable, don’t let your skincare be…
