In the A.M., my routine focused on fighting free radicals and aging. Weekly, I focus on hyperpigmentation and hydration . My PM routine recently I really focus on some more hydration and moisture whenever possible because this heat ain’t no joke.
The following is a step by step guide on my current nightly routine
PM ROUTINE ( SKIN TYPE: COMBINATION (SENSITIVE SKIN) )
FIRST CLEANSE
COSMEDIX PURITY SOLUTION(CLAIMS)
Deep clean and purify without drying out your skin.
Notable Ingredients
Moringa seed oil
Olive oil
Verdict:
I discovered COSMEDIX six years ago when a product representative visited am establishment I was working with in an attempt to pitch the amazing qualities of the brand. Fast forward to current times, the company has changed a lot for the better. I am always in search for the best cleansing oil out there so when I was sent this product eager to give it try especially in this summer with heat, layers of sunscreen and makeup on; double cleansing is uber critical. Been using it on and off for a few weeks will share a full review soon.
SECOND CLEANSE
RHONDA ALLISON CITRUS GEL CLEANSER
A go to cleanser for all skin types who want to cleanse their skin without stripping it.
Notable Ingredients
Shea Butter
Verdict
I have shared my love for citrus cleanser in my past blog post. I have a few more drops of the amazing IS clinical cleansing complex and been looking for ways to savor the last drops so I decided to alternate slowly re-introduce my skin to my good old faithful citrus cleanser. It is the perfect cleanser to use as a second cleanse because it’s not harsh. Plus, EVERYONE can use it. Check out my review here.
TONER
OSMOSIS CLEAR PLUS + HYDRATING MIST
Peptide and vitamin enriched mist, to rejuvenate and hydrate skin.
Notable Ingredients
Harmonized water
Acetyl Tetrapeptide-5
Verdict
I was sent a few items from Osmosis in the spring of this year to try out. Its been busy year and I have been testing out a few other brands which I had to make decisions on so honestly just getting to try them slowly now. I must admit enjoying what I have tried so far.
I opened up this mist as soon as I received the box in the spring because my skin was in desperate need of hydration but decided to put it aside to a later date when I could try it all together.
I am going to wait a couple weeks before I share my verdict because I would like to try it out in this insane heat. I will report back soon.
EYE CREAM
RHONDA ALLISON EYE LIFT
Eye cream to diminish wrinkles firm and rejuvenate the eye area
Notable Ingredient
Acetyl Tetrapeptide-5
Verdict:
I am a skeptic when it comes to eye creams because It’s a treatment that usually takes time and long term consistency before results are seen . In addition, most of them burn my eyes ( always). There are a few that I recommend because have seen minimal results when used like Clinique pep start eye cream. Whenever I used it, my eyes looked rested and more awakened. Besides that product, I honestly gave up on eye creams and would carefully bring up my serums and moisturizers up to my eye area. This was my routine until I discovered RA eye lift; it gave me hope. Full review will be posted soon.
MOISTURIZE
Rhonda Allison Mandelic au lait
Hydrating, lightweight and versatile moisturizer. Great for most skin types especially acne and rosacea prone skin.
Notable Ingredients
Mandelic acid (L)
Glycerin
Verdict
In the P.M ,Its between this moisturizer and the Osmosis nourish facial oil.
I use this moisturizer on days I want a light weight feel on my skin or on the unset of hormonal breakouts. It works well on it’s own but light enough to layer under an oil if a choose. Full review here.
OSMOSIS NOURISH FACIAL OIL
Nutrient rich facial oil that rebalances the dermal layer and protects the skin from moisture loss.
Notable Ingredient
Cold pressed avocado oil
Verdict
I used this a few times. A used it on nights after exfoliation or on nights when my skin feels exceptionally dry. I especially enjoy using it around my neck and décolletage area for extra moisture. As usual, I would like to use it consistently before giving a final verdict but so far so good.
