StackedSkincare Body Peel

Have you ever used StackedSkincare TCA Multi-body peel? I enjoy this peel because it is effective on your skin for several days after application and continues to work after multiple regular showers. The peel has five acids that help diminish dark spots and body acne. It has Lactic acid, Trichloroacetic Acid, and Salicylic Acid to kill acne-causing bacteria, brighten, and hydrate your skin. I use this product two to three times a week as directed in the instructions.

I apply it with the silicon brush tool from Amazon in a small dish. I recommend using a silicon brush this way the bristles in a regular brush do not absorb or waste any product.

Why I recommend this body peel to anyone struggling with body acne or anyone who wants clearer, more even and radiant skin all over their body:

It is packaged smartly with an inner covered lid so that no product spills during travel.

It is effective with a 100% results rating on the site, even for skin issues like rosacea or marks left behind from shingles.

It is easy to use and fragrance-free. Also, it starts working immediately after one to two applications.

It costs $125.00 on StackedSkincare and they have discount codes active now and email sign-up discounts, check it out. https://cutt.ly/ftUzMVu ❤

Dermaplaning at Home (Glass Skin pt. 1)

This post is an installment for a two-part series on how to achieve clear glass skin at home. My step one of glass skincare is dermaplaning.

I recommend StackedSkincare’s dermaplaning tool because it is safe to use and has more blade exposed than the typical tool. I believe effectiveness and safety are important components for dermaplaning so I recommend investing in a good tool rather than purchasing a cheap product. The cost of this tool from StackedSkincare is $75.

I use witch hazel after dermaplaning to clean up my face and close my pores.

If you purchase this product, note that changing the blade is tricky. I suggest that you always keep the cover on the blade when changing blades and use a tool to help “hit” it off the wand. The brand has a video on how to use this tool and on how to change the blade on YouTube. I also bought a pack of blade replacements from the site. I clean the tool with rubbing alcohol after each use. The blade needs to get replaced monthly.

Why is Dermaplanning Great for your Skin?

  1. It prevents breakouts
  2. Gets rid of dead skin and peach fuzz
  3. Softens skin
  4. Reduces fine lines

Peach fuzz and facial hair darken and shade your face, this is a major obstacle in the way of achieving glass skin. That’s why I recommend weekly dermaplaning at home as step 1 for glass skin. Let’s have glass skin together! Look forward to my second installment because the products used after this treatment can help you achieve glass skin. ❤

Spa-like Body Care at Home: Anti-Aging Lotion, Lip & Body Scrubs 🌼🌸🍊

It is a fantastic time to do a little spa self-care at home right now. I recommend trying out D-I-Y body scrubs made of olive oil and brown sugar, or perhaps purchasing products.

A body scrub I’ve been enjoying is Mostory Grapefruit Body Scrub. The sea salt texture is coarse enough that I feel like it is restoring my skin. I like that the scrub leaves coconut oil, vitamin C, and vitamin E on my skin so my skin does not feel dry afterward.

I enjoy using it as a final step in my spa shower routine on legs, underarms, and back. I ordered the grapefruit scent from the Mostory line on Amazon. The smell is present yet not overpowering and refreshing, a blend of citrus and grapefruit. The packaging is also nice enough that this scrub would make a nice gift as well. Cost $9.99

Another excellent scrub is the Red Roses Sugar lip scrub from NCLA. What I love about this scrub is that it leaves a chapstick like coating on your lips after you wash it off that lasts several hours. It smells so deliciously sweet like roses and strawberries and it has both vitamin C and E.

This lip scrub tastes delicious as well if any accidentally ends up in your mouth. It cost about $18 on Dolls Kill and Revolve.

No spa shower experience is complete without a body lotion and Dr. Barbara Sturm anti-aging body lotion jam-packed with antioxidants is a perfect choice. I’ve read about Dr. Barbara Sturm’s line online and I’ve wanted to try out products for a few months now.

I’m impressed by how nourishing the lotion feels. It sinks into my skin and completely changes the texture of the skin. I still noticed results the next day, and it made my skin plumper and softer immediately. I recommend using this product on your hands and neck especially. It cost around $95 online at several stores. ❤

🍓Strawberry Rhubarb Hyaluronic Serum 🍓

Eminence’s Strawberry Rhubarb Hyaluronic Serum helps plump your skin with rhubarb, strawberry, and honey. This serum also contains aloe vera, hyaluronic acid, and a bio complex made of antioxidants. The strawberry acts as a natural astringent and contains salicylic acid to brighten the skin and gently exfoliate. I decided to try out this product in my skincare rotation because it is more affordable than the Dior plump yet yields similar results.

The texture of the serum feels sticky on my fingers but not on my face. It feels like strawberry juice made if I were to squeeze a handful of strawberries in my hand. The smell is slightly sweet but it disappears over time and is not overpowering. The cost is around $48 for this serum. Do you like Eminence products? ❤

Facial Steamer

The Nanosteamer not only steams your face but it also functions as a towel warmer and humidifier. I love doing sheet masks at home and I thought facial steam seemed like a great addition to my skincare and self-care routine. This steamer recommends only using purified water.

I like that this device is quiet and the length of use is up to you. There are no alarms or sounds to signal anything. The instructions do list timed recommendations ( like a towel becomes fully warmed in about 5 minutes for example). I typically steam my face about 10 minutes. You can also use this product to steam your hair as well. There is an additional facial tool kit to extract pimples, whiteheads, and blackheads. I’m immensely happy with it so far and the price is excellent too, only about USD 39. ❤

Le Mieux Exfoliating Cleanser

My esthetician recommended this cleaner to me to tackle skin congestion and breakouts. I have oily skin on my T-zone and primarily on my forehead. I’ve never used this brand before and I was very excited to try it out. I purchased the bottle for about $24 dollars. After two days of use twice a day my forehead pimples have dried up and my forehead feels less congested. I love how silky yet cleansed my skin feels after using this face wash. The product contains salicylic and lactic acids to eliminate excess oil. It also has hyaluronic acid and aloe to cleanse the skin. So far, so good, with this cleanser. Have you ever tried out products from Le Mieux? ❤

DHC Astaxanthin Collagen All-in-One Gel

Goodbye Winter Skin, Hello Glowing Youthfulness~ If there is one product you should try this winter I recommend DHC Astaxanthin Collagen All-in-One Gel made with algae. It is excellent because there is a fair amount of product and a little goes a long way. Most importantly, it has immediate results.

It smooths out skin texture and adds plumpness back into your skin. I like using it morning and night. The product is thick enough that I do not feel the need to use a moisturizer with it.

The texture is custard-like and it easily melts into your skin. There is no noticeable smell. It is formulated to tone, hydrate, and brighten. Astaxanthin is found in freshwater algae and it can help reduce premature aging. From what I’ve read, this is because Astaxanthin is an antioxidant created by algae under stress. Astaxanthin production allows the algae to survive in extreme conditions and it turns green algae red.

DHC’s website also explains that the formulation includes “hyaluronic acid to protect skin’s natural moisture, royal jelly to hydrate and revitalize, and hydrolyzed collagen to impart softness and suppleness.”
