Some new skincare in my routine and a texture shot of a product that I’m not feeling. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ New @TrinnySkincare Plump Up Peptide HA Serum. I'm not a huge fan of the texture. It's kind of sticky and doesn't have the best consistency. I'm trying to use it but I do put a nice greasy moisturizer on top and that takes care of that sticky feeling. I will keep using it to see how it actually works in my skin but… it’s probably not going to be my first reach. @fentyskin Hydra Vizor sunscreen in the purple tube. I've posted about this and I like it! Completely clear, moisturizing, and layers really well with makeup. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ @NeutrogenaCanada Stubborn Blackheads Daily Serum. You can use this during the day, but I'm just so used to putting on vitamin C only that I keep forgetting. I will eventually try it during the day, but right now I just use it at night when I'm not using retinol! I'm trying to use up my vitamin C too because I know that it definitely oxidizes if you don't use it up quickly. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ @Strivectin Advanced Retinol Nightly Multi-Correct Serum. NIA-114 and Niacin, along with ingredients that help with dryness, are what makes this retinol formula unique. Honestly, it's a great one-one-done option if that's what you want for night time. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ @xotreatmentroom's PM oil. Ooooh, I love oils, for my face, for my body, hair, all of them. This one has lavender, and yes, it's formulated by someone who works on faces all the time, DAILY! The oil that it uses is Squalane which is great for oily skin because it's very light. It also has some antioxidants such as sea-buckthorn oil, and rosehip oil, which are known to be very calming on skin. I use this last after all my other serums and whatnot at night time. #texturetuesday #trinnylondon #strivectin #akincarecanada #skincarereviews #neutrogena #fentyskin https://www.instagram.com/p/CjAuy-wrvzd/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

It’s the Thursday that felt like a Friday and those are really the best kind. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I’ve been using a few new things on my face and never really talked about them so here we go. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ @dryskinlove sent me their first product ever: a cleansing oil. Get this: it smells like chocolate orange! Why has a brand not thought of this?! It smells delicious and melts makeup and sunscreen, emulsifies with water to be rinsed off. There’s a bit of a residue after as this is a product for dry skin but I always do a foaming cleanser afterwards anyway. This is a brand out of Alberta, so if you are local, show them some love. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ @freshbeauty Black Tea Kombucha Facial Essence. Love this stuff and this is the second bottle I’m going through. It smells like cucumber and yes, it’s kind of like a toner or another layer of hydration before you apply your real moisturizer. I use it morning and night and I’m actually almost done my bottle. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ New @strivectin BHA serum. Hard to know if this is doing anything but I hate that they put “pore minimizing” on the packaging. You cannot shrink your pores! The serum has a light texture and absorbs into my skin quickly. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I'm using the Bondi Sands Pure Self Tanning Sleep Mask (PR) (trust me, everyone needs the golden hue of a gentle self-tanner), and pairing it with my Trinny London Overnight Clarity Retinal/Niacinamide serum. I use the retinol first, wait a bit and then use the self-tanner, and don't forget to wash your hands afterwards! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I don't use a self-tanner everyday. This one is very moisturizing, and it's basically a gradual tan moisturizer. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The Trinny London retinoid is also pretty moisturizing, and I like that it's paired with a Niacinamide because that's an ingredient I like in my skincare routine anyway. I normally use a serum, like the Bliss niacinamide serum, but I've found that layering too many serums can cause them to pill and clump up, so having this is a bit better for me in my routine. #selfie #mirrorselfie #strivectin #skincarecanada #freshbeauty #skincarereviews #retinoid #bondisands #trinnyskincare https://www.instagram.com/p/CfdHRIbr5iI/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

New Vitamin C + Sunscreen + Moisturizer from @Strivectin. Maybe it’s the price point, but this brand does facial products so well and this is a beautiful rich formula. I’m not crazy about the jar packaging. Dipping my fingers into sunscreen daily is just odd - remember that sunscreen is a medicine in Canada and regulated, so any risk of contamination isn’t good. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Still - rich and creamy, and SPF 30 to boot. I’m using this every morning. #texturetuesday #skincarecanada #strivectin #sunscreenreview #skincarereviews #skincareroutine #skincaretips #sunscreeneveryday #sunscreenalways #spf30 #strivectincanada #vitamincskincare (at Calgary, Alberta) https://www.instagram.com/p/CakFsI5lx24/?utm_medium=tumblr

Using StriVectin's Crepe Control Brightening and Firming Hand Cream these days and I'm finding that the best way to actually make sure that I'm using hand cream is to keep it on my desk. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Strivectin tested this on 32 subjects for 8 weeks and found that 96% showed improvement in smoothness, texture, fine lines, and wrinkles, and 90% of subjects showed an improvement in radiance and luminosity. I don't know if this hand cream will last me that long (most only last me about a month) and I use tons of other things on my hands (lotion is always within reach), but I'm going to use this. Like all of Strivectin's products, this has NIA 114 in it which is their barrier-strengthening ingredient. There's also peptides and shea butter, so the same great ingredients you would use for your face, is what you're putting on your hands. Like all of Strivectin's products, this smells pretty strong but it's a smell that dissipates, and soon enough, I've forgotten all about it. Honestly, sometimes I use retinol on my hands too but it makes my skin so dry. Oils are greasy and they get on everything, but hand cream gets applied right before I sit down with my coffee in the morning. Hand sanitizer is so drying too, and without a hand cream I’m prone to flakiness or dermatitis. *gifted ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #strivectin #niacin #barrierrepair #handcream https://www.instagram.com/p/CW-HUDWr0fh/?utm_medium=tumblr

Used the last of my @bliss Peel Pads this week and I did really enjoy these. They’re so saturated with solution that there’s enough for practically your whole body. I definitely used them on the back of my hands and arms, just remember the sunscreen if you’re using any kind of exfoliator. I also finished an eye cream! @strivectin makes the best eye creams and this balm was soothing to my very dry eye area. I’m not normally an eye cream person, I just use my face products in that area and it seems to be working fine. Before this year, I didn’t even use under eye concealer, not that I didn’t need it, but I just lived with whatever was going on there. Anyway - eye cream and under eye concealer are the two things people always ask me about. #empties #blissskincare #strivectin #eyecreams https://www.instagram.com/p/CUS_8xiB6OL/?utm_medium=tumblr
