I recently made a post about Self Care: https://flawlessbcreations.com/2022/05/06/3-self-care-tips-and-ideas/ click the link to check it out.
But I wanted to dive in a little bit and give more focus on the face and tell you about the facial products I use daily that help me to feel my best.
Facial Steamer
First, I want to talk about this new item that I have added to my routine. A “Facial Steamer” when I say I’m addicted to it it’s an understatement It has my skin so soft. I got mine from Amazon in pink for 29.99 they also have it in white for 20.00.* hint the price might go down soon since Mother’s Day is over. Make sure you read all the instructions before you start using it because it is a steamer, so things do get hot. On to the steps on how I personally use this beauty 1st I wash my face with cold water, you can use whatever water tempt.. you feel comfortable with. Then I add the water to the machine following the directions that came with the. I also add a drop or two of some essential oils into the water. I love to add lavender oil, rosemary oil, and peppermint oil is perfect for those days you feel congested. After you do that, you just let the steam hit your face, please follow the directions. Keep your face at a comfortable distance from the steam it should not feel like it’s burning, or you shouldn’t feel any pain if u do your too close to the output of the steam. It steams for about 10 minutes after making sure you wash and moisturize your face.

Facial Moisturizer
Moisturizing is very important to me because I suffer from dry skin, but my daughter has oily skin so because of that we use different types of products. For her oily acne-prone skin Cerave has been our favorite product they have a whole line dedicated to acne-prone skin. And it worked I’ve noticed such a major difference in my daughter’s face acne has cleared up so much. There are so many kits out there that are made for acne-prone skin. If this is something, you suffer with I would advise you to try different ones and see what works best for your skin. We tried so many for my daughter from online options to drug store options and Cerave has been the one that is amazing.

Now for my face, I can say Cerave does good for me too, but I suffered from hyperpigmentation and needed something that can even my complexion out and lighten my dark spots. And I found the Holy Grail off Instagram “Cota Skin”. I tell everyone about these products because they work, I’ve been using this product for a year and my skin is glowing I get compliments all the time. My favorite products from them are the cleanser and the 24k goal serum. this serum is everything it helps with pigmentation it’s amazing I can stop saying it lol. They sell bundle packs and individual items *it’s cheaper to get the bundle for the 100 bucks. They also offer After pay which is always a plus in my book. It is also a black-owned woman-owned business which is amazing because she understood the assignment and passed it. I highly recommend this product probably more than anything on this list

Under-eye
So, for a long time, I was not a fan of the under-eye gel patch. I’ve tried so many, and most didn’t even stick or slide off because of too much product and some would stick a little too good to the point taking them off was painful. But, after a long search and giving up on them for a while I stumbled across these under-eye 24k gold gems on Amazon, and I got them because the price was awesome, I think the first ones I got were on sale for 9.00 I believe. But now they go for about 17.00 but when I say it’s worth every penny these are amazing. They are thin and lightweight and extremely moisturizing. It comes with 30 gel patches. Most importantly they stay in place I wear them while I’m doing dishes or cleaning the house and never fall off. When it’s time to remove just pink the center together and just like that they come off they don’t have a stickiness to them at all. I can’t even explain why they don’t slide and fall off but they don’t. It’s a must-try I also put them on my cheekbone, and it gives me an extra little glow.

Lips care
It doesn’t matter if you have full lips or thin lips you want them to be soft and look gorgeous. Some of the things I love to use to keep these lips together is an old classic Vaseline. I put Vaseline on my lips every night before bed and I wake up with lips feeling so soft. When it comes to lips there is one major component needed to keep your lips soft it is WATER staying hydrated is very important. If your lips are peeling or dry it’s a sign you are not drinking enough water. If your lips are soft and u just want to keep them hydrated, I’m a huge fan of the bath and body works hydrating lip balm. It’s a game-changer first the shine is amazing you can put as much as u want on and don’t have to worry about it turning. But a little goes a long way with this product, and the smell is amazing.

Also, I love this lip scrub that I use it is made by tree hut the scrub is so smooth and hydrating. It’s about $12.00 for a jar in my opinion it’s so worth it. If you want another option, you can always make your sugar scrub at home with household ingredients.
