I’ve been using Sunday Riley’s UFO Oil for 2 years now and when I just started using it,🤭 what a transformation I saw! However as my nose and skin got accustomed to the product, I’ve found that this salicylic acid hasn’t been as effective lately 🥺

Kate Somerville Eradikate was a glorious find early this year 🔍 It helps to decrease the redness and flatten my pimples overnight - and prevents me from picking at it 🤏

Laneige Cream Skin has been my go-to toner especially during the colder months ❄️ It’s a 2 in 1 that comes in handy on my lazy nights when I’m 5 seconds away from passing out and still need to put skincare on 😀

I’m From Fig Boosting Essence contains 62.7% fig extract which moisturizes the skin deeply and contains peptides and amino acid that offers anti-aging properties 💕

All products purchased from Sephora except for the Fig Boosting Essence which can be found on Wishtrend (linked in bio✨)

Monday Blues 💙 Ever wanted an anti-aging serum

Ever wanted an anti-aging serum made with blueberries? Well Klairs Midnight Blue Drop is all that. This bottle contains 10 key ingredient to fade and prevent fine lines - with Dual Peptides and Guaiazulene doing the heavy lifting.

What is dual-peptide and how does it help?

Dual Peptide consists of 2 different components:

EGF (Epidermal Growth Factor) - regulates skin turnover to regenerate faster and strengthen the skin’s outer barrier making the skin plump and reducing fine lines

bFGF (Fibroblast Growth Factor) - works deeper in the skin to repair damage caused by UVA rays, promotes production of collagen, hyaluronic acid, and improve moisture and radiance levels of the skin

Being in my 20s, I wanted a product to help with early prevention of fine lines because I can see it starting to form. Do you use products with peptides?

Being someone who’s no stranger to a zit or 10 🙃, “a self-dissolving microdart patch for the early-stage zit” sounds like something that’s right up my alley. ✨

The Killa Kit from @Zitsticka contains 8 Microdart Patches made with Hyarluronic Acid, Salicylic Acid and Niacinamide and 8 Soaked Swabs to clean and prep the area for the patch application. 🧖🏻‍♀️

Contrary to my fear of it “hurting” because of the tiny microdarts, it really does not hurt at all - you’ll feel something but it hurts less than you continuously patting your face for a minute straight getting your toner/essence to absorb. 😂

This patch works best as advertised - for the early-stage zit. I’ve witnessed some flatten down overnight while others took an additional day or two. If you are a skin-picker like me, I would highly recommend these for skin-picking prevention (your skin and future self will thank you) ☺️

OSEA 🌊 female-founded and family-run, this Malibu skincare company uses certified organic seaweed as the base for majority of their formulas 💚
.
Ocean Cleanser: Made with Vegan Lactic Acid to gently exfoliate, this cleanser also works to remove impurities while balancing your skin’s pH levels. I’ve been enjoying this cleanser because of how refreshing it smells + how it feels on my skin - it’s a gel that spreads easily and leaves my skin feeling rejuvenated after 🧖🏻‍♀️
.
Vitamin Sea Serum: Talk about a powerhouse serum, this Vitamin Sea Serum is packed with Vitamins (A, C+E) and contains Hyaluronic Acid and Tumeric to leave your skin moisturized, plump and radiant ✨ This serum is fast absorbing and has helped to even out my complexion a little more especially by lightening out my acne scars from my most recent breakout 🙃
.
Essential Hydrating Oil: Made with Jojoba, Lavender and Macadamia Seed Oil, this oil is made to plump your skin and smooth fine lines. I’ve found this oil to be super fast absorbing whenever I roll it onto my clean skin which is great for the summertime however I’m not too sure how often I’ll reach for it during the winter time as I usually go for thicker creams then. The essential oil blend smells so therapeutic - think diffusers and Saje roller balls 🍃 so applying this always feels so calming
.
Atmosphere Protection Cream: Protecting against extreme climates and air pollution, this lightweight moisturizer has been added to my daily routine for those benefits ✨ It leaves a silky finish and apparently works well as a primer for makeup (haven’t been wearing makeup often so I can’t vouch for this just yet)
.
Black Algae Flash Mask: This potent mask is a next level enzymatic exfoliation that leaves your skin glowing (after the redness subsides). I use it as a wash-off exfoliator as the directed 3-6 minutes leave-on mask was a little too long for my somewhat sensitive skin ☺️
.
Did I mention that they’re Cruelty-Free, Vegan, Gluten-Free and non-GMO? *Products were kindly gifted @oseamalibu

Feeling blue? 💙

That’s just Guaiazulene - an ingredient found in @klairs.global Mid day Blue UV Shield Sunscreen known to calm and reduce redness and inflammation.
.
I’ve found that this sunscreen leaves the slightest white cast (only noticeable at the end of the day) however the fact that it’s lightweight, dries semi-matte and contains a calming ingredient are all benefits that makes me continue applying it every morning☀️
.
Have you tried this sunscreen before? How do you like it? 👀

If you can only use one serum for the rest of your life, which one would you pick? ☁️
.
There are so many different serums incorporated into my routine that I rotate in and out. These @cosrx power trio are in my current rotation and I love the benefits they offer + the little details like the “date opened” sticker (swipe to the next image)!
.
Vitamin C Serum C-23: The 23 derives from the 23% pure Vitamin C incorporated into the formula. Also known as ascorbic acid, Vitamin C works to brighten and even your overall skin tone (so important for acne-prone skin types like moi who picks and scars 🙃) Worried about your skin drying out? This Vit-C contains 60% Propolis extract to nourish and hydrate.
.
Vitamin E Serum E-20: Containing 20% pure Vitamin E and 5 different kinds of Seed Oils, you can expect this serum to moisturize and hydrate while protecting your skin from environmental stressors like air pollution. 💨 (pair this with Vitamin C)
.
Retinol Serum: Contains 0.5% Retinyl Palmitate (Vitamin A derivative) and works to reduce signs of wrinkles, sun damage; hyperpigmentation and scarring (hello, me x 4) Miracle in a bottle anyone?
.
All of these products are fast absorbing and non-irritating to my skin (keep in mind that my skin is used to Vit-C and Retinol so it might be different for you if you’ve never tried either). Never use Vit-C and Retinol at the same time. And as with all Vitamin C products, use sunscreen everyday - use it anyways even if you don’t use Vitamin C 😘

I’ve been a little MIA lately and that’s on adulthood and responsibilities 😩

Thank goodness I still have my “me time” AKA “skincare time” 🧖🏻‍♀️ I’ve been trying out a couple of new goodies thanks to @stylevana_sv and wanted to share my thoughts on my top 2 faves of the bunch!
.
Zymogen - Centella Ferment Cream - Contains Centella Asiatica Ferment Extracts to help recover damaged skin, lighten dark spots and delay aging by protecting against external environmental irritants. This felt like the perfect moisturizer for me given how much I’ve been breaking out lately due to stress and resulting in these dark spots from picking 😬 The texture of this is slightly thicker than a regular cream (think Purito’s Scented Centella Sunscreen) and doesn’t fully absorb into the skin leaving the skin a little tacky but moisturized! Will update in regards to whether it has a significant impact on reducing the dark spots or not 👀
.
Secret Key - Snail Repairing Eye Cream 🐌 this eye cream despite having snail mucus in it goes on light and absorbs quickly. It’s packed with amazing ingredients like arbutin, niacinamide, squalane, and jojoba seed to brighten and keep the eye area moisturized. My under eye area looks a little less dull every time I apply this snail eye cream and the light formula feels weightless (a ton of eye creams/gels that I’ve used in the past sits on heavily on my under eyes 🙃)
.
Have you tried either of these products? If you’re interested in trying it out for yourself, feel free to use my code: INF10TINA for 10-15% off on Stylevana.com (valid till November 30) #stylevana #vanafamily
