CURRENT SKINCARE ROUTINE OCTOBER 2018

CURRENT SKINCARE ROUTINE OCTOBER 2018

Fall is here so that means I need to tweak my routine to fit the seasons. Fall is actually my favorite skin season because my skin is usually at optimal during this season but it’s my least favorite season because I hate the cold. Anyways, back to skincare routine. This summer was fun ,filled with outdoor activities with the kids. Even though I covered up thoroughly, and applied and reapplied sunscreen, the Austin heat is no joke. I usually have to tackle a little photo damage here or there hence my new routine.
AM ROUTINE
CLEANSE
RHONDA ALLISON SKIN BRIGHTENING CLEANSER
All purpose cleanser for anyone with pigment concerns. This is an excellent daily wash, pre- and post laser treatments, to minimize pigmentation.

Notable Ingredients
BELLIS PERENNIS (DAISY) FLOWER EXTRACT
KOJIC ACID
VITAMIN B5

HOW I USE IT
I usually alternate this cleanser with a milk cleanser. On the days I use it, I use just one pump of cleanser in my palm, and massage it on my face. I wipe off with damp face cloth or gauze thoroughly.

Verdict
Detailed review coming soon.

TONER
MANDELIC DEFENCE LOTION (PURIFYING ANTIOXIDANT)
A purifying environmental defense toner that provides superior antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial support.
Notable Ingredients
MANDELIC ACID
ASCORBIC ACID

HOW I USE IT
Apply a couple pumps on cotton pad, gently swipe across skin. Wait a min or two then apply moisturizer over it.

Verdict
LOVE! This is a relatively new toner in the Rhonda Allison line. Up until now, my favorite toners from the line were the brightening toner or the cucumber spritz for added hydration but this is creeping up there so far. A detailed review coming soon.
