20 Jun Skin SOS: Summer Must Haves
The stuff I use on my body differs than what I put on my face. I know of people who use the same soap or lotion on their face as they do their body.That ain’t me.My skin would revolt at the thought. I envy those people though for being product minimalists.
For my body, I like to exfoliate every other day with the body brush on my Clarisonic Plus. Then before drying off, I rub in Eucerin to keep my skin moist without being sticky in the heat. On the body parts that will be exposed, once the lotion sinks in, I add Hawaiian Tropic Silk Hydration to the mix to prevent any sun damage.Yes, brown people can get sun damage. Even sun burned.
Yuck.
Now, because I’m all about fighting skin discoloration, my deodorant of choice is Dove’s Clinical Protection Clear Tone. It fights discoloration caused by shaving. Am I the only one who finds that awkward?If I could put some Ambi on my underarms, I would. Wait can I? I’ve been applying the cream to my elbows and knees at night.
Now, for my face. I cleanse my skin with Laura Mercier’s Cleansing Oil, brush it in with the Clarisonic, switching the brush head of course, and then moisturizing with Laura Mercier’s moisturizing mist. I have oily skin and this helps keep my face from looking like an oil slick.I disinfect/treat my skin with Evoclin foam before adding primer and tinted moisturizer. At night, I would apply my Kiehl’s Even Skin Tone serum, followed by a clindamycin benzoyl peroxide mixture. This keeps me from breaking out with my oil glands in over drive. Once a week, I give myself a pumpkin peel and twice a week I exfoliate with Laura Mercier’s Skin Polisher.Can I just say that between my nighttime face routine and twisting my face up to go to sleep, I was fully exhausted by the time my head hit the pillow.
Wheweeee, that was a lot. What are you all doing to your skin to maintain your sexy this summer? Tell me what you’re loving this summer here.
