Rose are red, violets are blue. Are you wondering why your skin is lacking hue? Color that is!
What is your favorite skincare line? Hands down mine is Fresh. Fresh prides itself in offering natural inspired skincare which brings me to my new found love of roses.
Did you know that roses have anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties which make them great for oily, acne prone skin AND rose extract is also high in vitamin C which stimulates collagen which makes your skin even more moisturized. So basically roses are great for all skin types!
Moisturized skin = more hyaluronic acid = LESS wrinkles!
My starting lineup (Left to Right): Black Teach Kombucha Facial Treatment Essence, Rose Deep Hydration Face Cream, Rose Deep Hydration Oil-Infused Serum, Rose Deep Hydration Facial Toner, & last but not least the Sugar Coconut Hydrating Lip Balm.
Are you still with me? I'm sure if you clicked on any of the links, you are thinking "There's no way in HELL I am paying that much!" #didyouornah
Let me start by saying that 1) I did not purchase them all at once and 2) they were all on sale and 3) #greatskinisin
When was the last time you looked at your skin and went, "OK, girl! I see you!" Maybe never maybe you do it quite often BUT I, personally, do it at least twice a day thanks to these products. Tip: Fresh has great starter kits and even smaller sizes for you to trial things out on a trial basis. Skip Starbucks for a week and get you some GREAT skincare products that are going to get you GREAT results. #stepsoffsoapbox
Moving on to my starting lineup: These products are my ride or die. You literally will have to pry the toner out of my hands. This is my third bottle AND I have a back-up. This is the one I suggest you start out with. Introduce some of this Rose Hydration into your life and let's see how your skin thanks you.
How I use them in FIVE easy steps:
1) Always cleanse your skin---check out this previous post to read about my fave cleansers and why these steps are important
2) Using a cotton swap, Gently use the toner to wipe away excess dirt and rebalance your skin
3) Using your hands, gently rub the essence into your skin
4) Shake the oil-infused serum and apply using your hand in a dabbing motion
5) Apply moisturizer and lip balm #done
Note: You do not need to wait for one product to dry to apply the next--the goal is to trap in that moisture.
Why this works:
Well, first of all the ingredients are formulated to work together-they are a team. They have practiced together and know each other's plays. Stop using this and that on your skin! #juststopit Remember you have to be intentional!
Then there's the ingredients- they all have HYALURONIC ACID. If you read my last skincare post, you know that I am obsessed with this ingredient. OBSESSED! It is my bestie, the main one, the star of the show. I use it in my morning and night time routines.
Sidenote: You can't prevent aging BUT you can slow it down and the time is now! Think about all the money you've spent on products that are blah BUT what if you spend a little extra on something that actually works.
Feed your skin some hydration and stop and smell the roses!
Until next time,
xoxo
