Keep Skincare Simple
Hello Beautiful! Are you exhausted from all these articles, posts, and videos telling you that you NEED to add this or that as part of your skincare routine? Me too, so what is actually necessary for your skincare routine? Let’s go over what you need based on your skin type.
Normal Skin
If your skin is never too dry or too oily, with a regular texture, you have a normal skin type. For your skin type, here’s what you need:
Daily cleanser: I have a couple of great options on my website for you.
Daily moisturizer: The Quench moisturizer on my website is perfect for your skin.
Occasional facial: Because everyone needs an occasional facial. Book yours here.
Sensitive Skin
If your skin is sensitive, it is more prone to react to different stimuli. Your skin is fragile and could react in different ways (ie. redness, tightness, heat, or itching). For your skin type, here’s what you need:
Daily cleanser (sensitive): For your skin, I would recommend the Cleanse product.
Daily moisturizer (sensitive): This is the perfect, light-weight moisturizer for you.
SPF: Sensitive skin like yours needs extra protection. Here’s a great option.
Gentle Serum: Aptly named, this serum will calm your sensitive skin.
Occasional facial: Because everyone needs an occasional facial. Book yours here.
Dry Skin
Dry skin is typically a temporary skin type that can be caused by cold weather, low air humidity, and immersion in hot water. For dry skin, I typically recommend you use:
Daily Cleanser (sensitive): For your skin, I would recommend the Cleanse product.
Daily Moisturizer: This is what you need lots of. Here is the moisturizer for you.
Facial Oil: This restorative oil will help repair your dry skin flooding it with moisture.
Repair Serum: This facial serum will repair and rescue your dry skin.
Eye Cream: The first places you should make sure stay hydrated are the areas around your eyes. You can use this cream to lock in moisture.
Occasional facial: Because everyone needs an occasional facial. Book yours here.
Oily Skin
Oily skin has a porous, humid, and bright appearance. The cause is excessive fat production by sebaceous glands in the skin. Here’s what will be best for you:
Daily cleanser: For your skin, I recommend our Purify cleanser.
Daily moisturizer (sensitive): This is the perfect, light-weight moisturizer for you.
Clarify Serum: This serum works to normalize oil production to create a clear complexion.
Occasional facial: Because everyone needs an occasional facial. Book yours here.
Skincare doesn’t have to be complicated, in fact, it shouldn’t be. Let’s simplify in 2021!

5 Skincare Myths Debunked
Hello Beautiful!
2020 sure has been a year for DIY projects, including skincare. With the rise of TikTok and it’s infamous 15-60 second skincare tutorials there has been some information left out. I’m here to help walk you through some of those skincare myths and give you the best advice to achieve the same great benefits, the correct way.
I don’t need sunscreen… What? Of course you do! It doesn’t matter if it’s going to be sunny, cloudy, rainy, or snowy. You NEED your SPF. Make sure you use at least SPF 30. Lucky for you, I know where you can get some great moisturizer with SPF. Click here to shop.
I’m too young to use eye serums and creams. You can never be too young to use eye serums and creams. The skin around your eyes is thin and delicate and it also sees the most makeup coverage which means more scrubbing, rubbing, and cleansing to get it clean. The first signs of aging come at different times for different people, but you can start giving the skin around your eyes some extra attention no matter how old you are. Click here to find an eye cream or serum that’s right for you!
An exfoliant is an important step in my morning and nightly skincare routine. While consistent exfoliation is important for your skin, doing it nightly or every morning, every day can be harmful. When you exfoliate, you remove dead skin cells, and it can give you an amazing glow, but if you do it twice a day or even once a day, you can expose your skin to environmental toxins and the sun. Not to mention, your skin will be red and more sensitive. Exfoliate 2-3 times per week and only apply light pressure. That way, you won’t over-exfoliate.
Coconut oil is a good facial moisturizer. No! Did you know that coconut oil actually clogs pores and can lead to pimples? When applied as a moisturizer, it acts like a plastic film, sitting on top of your skin and not allowing it to breathe. Bacteria and dead cells will stay in your pores longer and lead to clogged pores and breakouts. Ah, scary! It’s okay, just start using a real moisturizer instead. Click here to shop for a few different options.
My pores can open and close, get bigger and smaller. Your pores cannot open or close because they’re not controlled by muscles. Slight warmth can help bring oils out of clogged pores, but switching between extreme temperatures won’t open or close your pores. You can keep your pores clean and unclogged by regularly cleansing and moisturizing.
There you have it! Five 2020 skincare myths debunked. I hope I helped you ramp up your DIY skincare routines in the best way. If you have any questions, just message me on Facebook, or book an appointment to get your skincare journey started.
