If taking care of your skin wasn't in before for you, I guarantee since this pandemic you have noticed the influx of skincare focus.

I found myself researching how to keep a glow or even how to get rid of the PMS bumps that comes once a month. (I will have an entire blog on Auntie Flow because something has got to give!)

When I do get crazy breakouts from like leaving a face mask on longer than 15/20 mins (mind your own business) I’m sure to use a product that has salicylic acid!

With the influx of skincare focus, also came the focus of buying BLACK, so I tried out a few black owned skin care lines that did not disappoint!

  • A clarifying face mask by @beneathyourmask! (also a fellow Lupie.)

  • @afokoskin Cleanser and @basebutter Radiate Jelly for my morning routine!

*PS Don’t forget your SPF. Yes you still need to wear it in the Fall/Winter months!

In the mist of the pandemic Big Gretch said it was okay for spas/ salons to reopen. So I immediately made an appointment with @skinbyamerie! I have gone to Amerie before for a regular facial and an enzyme treatment. Now you might be asking what is an Enzyme Therapy Treatment and baby let me tell you I have never had my neck and my face pulsating so hard in my life! Whew! This treatment is something that is not of this world but the benefits are amazing!! An Enzyme Treatment detoxifies your skin, using your skins own lymphatic system to help rebuild the skin!

Can you imagine this!?

This time around I told her I wanted to try the Dermaplaning Treatment and my two reasons were petty. 1. The vitamin C she sprinkles on your face that resembles cocaine and 2. The two blue balls that are used to chill you down feels so amazing! The Dermaplaning Treatment is used with a medical grade scalpel that lightly exfoliates skin by removing dead skin cells, dirt, oils and hair.

You can see the dead skin falling off! New skin looking like butter!

I plan to book with her again but probably in January for my birthday because sis is booked and busy! So get in if you can!!

FYI Before using any of the above mentioned skincare products be sure to test on a small area of your skin first.

Please also let me know what products are bringing you a well needed Glow!
