💆‍♀️ Reimagine your skincare journey — naturally.

Lately I’ve been incorporating @drunkelephant’s A-Passioni retinol into my pm routine. . Retinol is a powerful anti-oxidant that boosts the activity of skin cells. It is known to have an adjustment period (called retinization) while your skin is getting used it. It is common to experience dryness, redness, irritation, flaking, and/or purging for the first few weeks of retinol use. . I have very dry, dehydrated skin so have been taking this process very slowly. I started only using it once a week, just to see how my skin would react. After about 3 weeks, I have increased my schedule to one night on, two nights off for the last couple weeks. On the “on nights” I will apply a pea-sized amount mixed with two pumps of B-Hydra and a dab of Lala Retro, and then top with Marula Oil. On the “off nights” I really focus on hydration and moisturizing the skin, using hyaluronic acid-rich serums, oils, and sleeping masks. On off nights, I have been incorporating @Herbivorebotanicals Emerald Oil and the @youthtothepeople Superberry Dream Mask. . I am still experiencing sensitization from the retinol, including increased dryness with slight flaking, redness, and a slight burning feeling when products are applied, especially around the corners of my eyes and mouth. I haven’t seen much purging by way of acne (although I don’t tend to be acne prone). I will push through for a couple more weeks to see how my skin responds. . How has your experience with retinol been? . . . #drunkelephant #drunkinlove #cleanclinical #cleancompatible #thelittles #skincareig #igtopshelfie #drunkelephantshelfie #drunkelephantforlife #drunkelephantskincare #minimonday #drunkinlove🐘 #apassioni #bhydra #skincare #skincareroutine #gorillabeautysecrets #retinol #skincarereview #skincareblogger #bbloggersca #palmbffs #palmcrew19 #cleanskincare #cleanatsephora #vanity #bblogger (at Toronto, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/BumZr0xh-ir/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=5pr88jr5wp7l

Travel Skincare Routine ✈️ ________________________________ I am in Las Vegas this week and brought @drunkelephant The Littles kit with me for a complete travel routine. My dry skin is not used to this even drier weather, so its all about hydration! _________________________________ In the morning, I rinse and use 1 pump C-Firma + 1 pump B-Hydra and apply. Next, I apply 1/2 pump of Shaba around the eyes and a pea sized dab of Lala Retro all over the face. I finish by using Umbra Tinte to protect and perfect! _________________________________ In the evening I cleanse with Beste no. 9. I didn’t even bring makeup remover with me, Beste does it all. Next I mix 1 pump TLC Framboos (every other night) with 1-2 pumps of Marula oil and apply. I then top it with 1/2 a pump of Shaba around the eyes and a pea-sized dab of Lala Retro all over to seal in the moisture! _________________________________ Head to the blog for my review of this set and to learn more about each product and how I use them! …MidnightWink.com… *This set was kindly gifted by the brand* . . . I hope you’re all having a lovely Valentine’s day! 💕 . . . #drunkelephant #drunkinlove #cleanclinical #cleancompatible #thelittles #skincare🦍 #drunkinlove🐘 #daydrunk🐘 #skincareroutine #skincareblogger #cleanbeauty #cleanskincare #beautyblogger #bbloggersca (at Las Vegas, Nevada) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bt36teng3wv/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1cr56lxzapbnl
