Hello Beauties!

OK, I’m super excited to share with you all some of my skin care secrets! Well, they’re not really secrets… but I have been asked many times about what I do to care for my skin. I wasn’t born with great skin and have never had a flawless complexion. But, after I started my monthly facials, my skin transformed completely and I’m in LOVE with it!

 Facial includes (in order):

1. Facial cleanse

2. Exfoliation

3. Chemical peel (if pregnant, she uses something more appropriate)

4. Face Steam (open pores)

5. Extractions (not all facialists do this.. ask them for it if you want it)

6. UV Light Treatment: (Kills bacteria in skin)(not for pregnant women)

7. Ampoules Application (minimizes pores)

8. Collagen Mask (extra $15) or purifying mask included

The facial usually lasts an hour and a half depending on your skin’s condition. I go religiously once a month, but the facialist will instruct you when to go and what to do at home specifically for your skin-type and condition. Everyone is different so you may only need to come every 6 weeks, or you may need to come every 2 weeks. There isn’t a “one size fits all” with skin care and the facialist will consult you on what your skin needs to make it amazing.

My AT HOME skin routine includes the products shown above. Usually right after my facial I am given specific instructions for the next 3 days. I have oily skin and this is what my usual routine (morning and night) consists of.

1. Facial cleansing (A) with Clarisonic (B) – I usually just use my Clarisonic at night.

2. Tone (C)

3. Eye cream (D)

4. Acne cream (E) – Ask you doctor if you can use this while preganant. (mine said yes)

5. Moisturize (I don’t usually do this unless my skin is dry)

I purchase the purifying mask (F) from my facialist so I can use it WEEKLY as well. It makes a huge difference! The acne cream also needs to be purchased from a licensed practitioner.

**If you’re not in Utah then find a facialist and ask them if they do the facial listed above. I HIGHLY recommend it.

Have a beautiful Wednesday and thanks for stopping by!

xoxo,

Becca

Hello Lovelies!! Tons of people have asked me how I get my soft, smooth skin. Along with the proper skin care routine that I’ll be posting about in another post, I love exfoliating!! Exfoliating on a regular basis — once or twice a week for mild exfoliation, once or twice a month for more intense treatments — can improve the results of your skin care routine and help rejuvenate your skin. Whether you have dry, normal, oily or sensitive skin, exfoliation can bring new life to your complexion.

Here is a little info on my favorite scrubs for the whole body!

Lips: I absolutely love the Lush Mint Julips scrub because of how yummy it tastes! It makes my lips super soft and helps my lipsticks look smooth on. I always use lip balm as well to make sure my lips are moisturized. I recommend the Mint Lip Balm from Bloke!

Face: If you like the fresh smell of pear and zero dead skin in your face, then you need to try the Pear & Poppy Seed Microderm Polisher! Whenever my face feels dry and flaky, I use it and apply a moisturizer before I go to bed. The next day my face is as good as new. Make sure to find a salon that distributes it so you can get your own asap! (If in Utah, go to Calm Spa Boutique)

Body: My two favorite body scrub products are from Bloke and Calm Spa Boutique. The Bloke scrubs are all AMAZING! All scrubs help keep your skin smooth and moisturized but each of them have their own special trick. The Green Tea & Sea Salt Scrub gently fights blemishes and reduces redness & irritation caused by acne and other skin conditions. The Coffee Scrub stimulates blood flow and targets cellulite and stretch marks. And the Vanilla & Chai Sugar Scrub smells delicious and is perfect for any skin type. The raw brown sugar and sea salt exfoliate dead skin cells to keep your skin smooth and glowing.

Calm Spa Boutique Sugar Scrubs are handmade and blended perfectly to leave the skin moisturized and smooth. the gentle exfoliation helps remove the dead skin and works wonders for ingrown hairs. They smell AMAZING and they come in 6 different scents; Lemon Coconut, Lavender, Wild Orange, Grapefruit, Coconut Lime, and a custom scent of the month.

Have a wonderful Wednesday and enjoy your beautiful skin!
