    HOW TO CHOOSE A CLEANSER FOR OILY SKIN! Cleanser HOW TO CHOOSE A CLEANSER FOR OILY SKIN! Cleanser choice, believe it or not, should be largely driven by your skin type! For oily types: Look for gel or foaming cleansers. These often contain the cleansing agents necessary to remove excess surface oils while lacking the lipids often added to cleansers for dry skin. Oily types using dry skin cleansers can often feel like they have a “film” leftover or not feel completely cleanser. Linking all my favorite oily skin cleansers in stories and in my “shop posts” highlight. Let me know if you want a dry skin version in the comments! #oilyskin #oilyskincare #oilyskincareroutine #acneskincare #skincaretips #skincarehacks #skinthusiast
    We try to say our gratitude daily. Every morning w We try to say our gratitude daily. Every morning with our morning bottle, every night before bed, after a safe flight or before a big day. Today we’re spending a bit more time in our feelings, so thankful for what this last year brought us. Reflecting on where we were this time last year just praying for a healthy baby and here we are enjoying her first holidays so happy and healthy. God is good, the Universe is listening to your very desire. You just have to allow, sometimes the hardest part. Thankful for you and allowing me to both share my life and my tips with you. Skin and beauty may seem trivial to some but you all allow me to live out my passion every single day.

    If you’re experiencing shiny skin it can be due If you’re experiencing shiny skin it can be due to a couple of things. If there is clearly increased oil production you can use ingredients like salicylic acid, retinoids and niacinamide to help regulate. But be careful as over-exfoliation can ALSO make the skin appear shiny #shinyskin #oilyskin #oilytzone #skintips #skincarehacks #skinhacks

    My own acne journey feels so far away I often forg My own acne journey feels so far away I often forget to even reference it. But know that when I’m speaking to you and educating about skincare, it comes from the empathy of knowing what it feels like to not want to leave the house, or wearing your hair down to cover your cheeks. I know what it feels like not to recognize what you see in the mirror. Sharing all about my acne journey, which came on abruptly about 7 years ago, in my stories today! #acnejourney #acne

    If you know me you know the airwrap has changed my If you know me you know the airwrap has changed my life. I use it every single time I wash my hair. And when Dyson calls (emails) and says they’re opening up a Beauty Lab in Miami, you run. The cherry on top of the entire experience was meeting @hairinel who I could talk to for hours. She taught me ALL the hair tips and my mane is so grateful 🥹 thank you @dysonhair for having me 💕 I had the best time! #dysonhair And yes I really did buy a pair of shoes on my way out of the mall and did responsibly return them. It was like paying way too much money for inevitable blisters. They were cute though 🥲
