Susan Ward Brooks - Makeup Artist

Sorry I haven’t posted any product recommendations in a while. Business has been CRAZY!
But anyway....
My store was out of my usual cleanser, so I decided to give this one a try, AND I LOVE IT!
This is Cerave Renewing SA cleanser. It contains a small amount of salicylic acid, so it exfoliates as you cleanse! It’s super gentle, and left my skin feeling super silky and “fresh” looking.
Exfoliating your skin regularly can help prevent breakouts AND actually has some amazing anti aging benefits (and y’all know, I’m all about anti aging!).

This little skin tool right here, is actually one of the best purchases I’ve EVER made.
It’s a pink quartz skin roller, and even though the type of stone and its “properties” are pretty irrelevant, the cold stone massage feels really good. But more importantly, using it helps reduce puffiness and dark circles around the eyes, improves blood circulation (which leads to more radiant skin), it helps detoxify, and it helps to calm stressed skin.
To be honest, I was a bit skeptical of the stone face roller at first, mostly because they often “capitalize” on the type of stone, instead of the practical benefits of a cold stone face massage. BUT my daughter was using hers in front of me one day, and I could actually SEE the difference it made looking at one half of her face, compared to the other. The massaged side of her face, had a more even tone to it...it looked radiant and glowy. Facial massage also helps your skincare products work more efficiently.
AND IT FEELS SOOOO GOOD!!
So I now use mine daily. Every morning, after I apply my moisturizer. I got mine at Marshall’s. For like 7 bucks. And ya can’t beat that!
