Happy Valentine’s Day beautiful souls🩷

The alginate peel-off mask is beneficial for most skin types. The mask’s cooling sensation soothes inflamed and irritated skin- reducing the appearance of redness.
It’s also a great way to hydrate the skin, as the mask traps in moisture and promotes plump skin.
Give yourself the self-love you deserve this V-day! 💟

Over exfoliation can be a detriment to healthy balanced skin. I know it's all the rage now micro exfoliants , scrubs , aha's ( alfa hydroxy acids ) , bha's ( beta hydroxy acids ) acne reducing products with benzoyl peroxides , salycilic acid , glycolic acid. When over used the skin becomes dry , flaky , irrated, dehydrated and even hyper pigmented⠀ ⠀
Exfoliants are what we use to help cell turnover. Everyone's skin reacts differently to individual exfoliants , the key is to find exfoliators that work well with your skin and can be used once or twice a week. ⠀

With the onslaught of cold dry winters and constant facial mask wearing our skin is experiencing whiplash like condituons that result in breakouts and stressed skin. ⠀
To alleviate and calm these conditions add soothing masks ; hyaluronic serums and even facial oils to your self care routine. So please stop with all the exfoliating , I promise your skin will thank you for it. 🖤⠀

Tips for Winter Skin ❄

When temperatures drop so does the skin's ability to protect itself.
Some skin conditions can become even more exasperated like excema , psoriasis , broken capillaries , dehydration and dry skin.

Being mindful of the cold weather cleanse your face and body with lukewarm water. Our skin's outer layer is called the epidermis and contains natural oils that protect it from harsh enviroments . While hot water feels amazing on a cold day it can soften that outer layer and remove those much needed oils.

Winter weather leaves skin drier and can cause irratation.
Using an oil cleanser is amazing for removing make up and not stripping the skin . As for exfoliation use exfoliants like masks or enzymes that gently polish for smoother radiant skin.
Follow with a humectant toner adding hydration and binding moisture to your skin .
I absolutely love Code of Harmony COH Glo. ❤
Finish with an oil based moisterizer
( not water based , water based moisterizers can freeze on the skin causing broken capillaries ) and if you don't have an oil based moisterizer add a few drops of your favorite facial oil directly on the skin or to your creams.
Also , don't forget the sunscreen !
