#4. STAYING HEALTHY: YOUR LOOKS REFLECT WELLBEING
We all need a little help to improve our natural beauty and make our look pop. However, it’s very easy to forget that your natural appearance is strongly linked to your wellness. Learning to pay added focus to my health was one of the best things I ever did. You should rediscover it too!

Ultimately, we all have different lifestyles and situations. As such, you will need to find a routine that suits your circumstances. This handy tutorial should provide some useful advice:

Be sure not to overlook key factors that will significantly impact your health. As well as your lifestyle, you should think about the home surroundings. Thrips and other pests have the ability to cause illness, which will leave you drained. Moreover, their bites will cause major skin irritations that will undo a lot of the good work from a healthy lifestyle. Preventing this issue at all costs is key.

Improved beauty isn’t the only reward for adopting healthier habits, but it should not be ignored either. Embrace it.

The Beauty Girl's Secret to Radiant Skin (Psst... it's boscia)

Hi lovelies,

When I lived in New York City, I rarely had any issues with my skin, but once I made the big move to L.A., a few years ago, I noticed that my skin was way more irritable and prone to break-outs.

Since my skin was breaking out, I thought that I needed to dry it out, but it was actually the opposite. I needed to moisturize and hydrate even more because my skin was breaking out because it was producing too much oil due to the change to a much drier climate.

So the trick was to keep my skin extra hydrated and moisturized, not dried out, because this would make my skin return back to its natural state of producing a healthy amount of oil.

Once my skin started producing my natural amount of oil again, my break-outs went away because my pores were no longer clogged with excess oil and usual healthy glow was back. 

However, it's been journey to finding the right moisture that wouldn't leave my skin feeling and looking oily or mess up my make-up, but was still effective enough to heal my dry skin and prevent break-outs.

So luckily for me, and for anyone looking for smooth, clean, and radiant skin, there's the new boscia Cactus Water Moisturizer.

The Beauty Scoop on boscia Cactus Water Moisturizer:

The peptide packed formula helps revitalize the skin to keep it looking and feeling soft, smooth and supple. Infused with South African Resurrection Plant infusion, this formula will aide in smoothing fine lines and wrinkles to provide an instant youthfulness to skin."

Read on below for all of the ways to keep your skin healthy, happy, and glowing with boscia.

The Beauty Blogger Guide to Great Skin

Hi lovelies,

One way that I love to take care of myself is by making sure that my skin is healthy, moisturized, clean, and smooth. It allows my inner confidence to shine through without worry.

That’s why I wanted to share with you my three ways that I clean, treat, and take care of my skin, so that you too can feel confident and strong.

#1: Clean your skin with the beauty brush Zoe by QYKSonic

I love starting my skincare routine by making sure that I deeply cleanse my skin to effectively remove makeup and oil. However, just using water and my hands alone sometimes just doesn’t cut it.

That’s why I turn to the new innovative beauty brush Zoe by QYKSonic to deeply cleanse my skin and reach inside my pores that I can’t clean on my own.

ZOE, the first and only 3-in-1 anti-aging Sonic Beauty Device that effectively Cleanses, Massages, and Applies your skincare products.

#2: Revitalize your skin with Freeman Beauty

After my skin is thoroughly cleansed, I love using a face mask by Freeman Beauty. They replenish my skin and gives it an added boost of moisturize and leaves my face feeling healthy, smooth, and glowing.

One of my favorites is the Pore Cleansing Strawberry and Mint sheet masks because it makes my skin camera-ready for my photoshoots.

Another one of my favorites is the Hydrating Aloe and Seaberry sheet mask that I use when I get home from traveling for an extra moisturizing boost since my skin dries out from being on airplanes.

---

#3: Treat your skin with Physicians Formula

Once my skin is cleansed and revitalized, I then love to treat it with my go-to skincare products from Physcians Formula.

During the day, I love using their Rose All Day Oil-free Serum that tightens my skin and gives it an added glow.

 At night, my favorite way to treat my skin is with their Vitamin C Brightening Facial Oil Stick that helps to brighten my skin and fade any dark spots or fine lines.  

When I need to really clean my skin, I use their Charcoal Detox Stick to removes any leftover remnants of make-up, oils, and impurities in my skin and pores.

Pro beauty tip: Put their Physicians Formula RefreshMint Cucumber & Bamboo Eye De-Puffer in the fridge for an extra cooling, refreshing, and depuffing effect.

How To Get The Skin You Deserve With Isdin Flavo-C Ultraglican

Hi lovelies,

It's no secret that I suffer from hyper-pigmentation, which just means that my skin is prone to scarring due to break-outs and skin irritations.

Growing up I always had clean and clear skin, but I also grew up on the East Coast, my hyper-pigmentation an break-outs didn't kick-in until I made the big leap to the West Coast and the climate change, dry air, water quality, and pollution, caused my crystal clear skin to freak out, so ever since, I've been on the hunt to balance out my break-outs and clear up my good skin for good. 

That's why I'm super excited to have Isdin Flavo-C Ultraglican by my side to reduce fine lines and brighten my skin in a healthy way. All I have to do is shake the tiny vial before using it and then I take the special plastic protector to open the top of the ampoule. Then I put on the provided dosification cap and then I apply half ampoule in my hand and heat it up by slightly rubbing it between my palms.

Once warmed up, I rub it on my face and neck, making sure to focus on my problem areas the most and avoiding my eye areas. 

Don't forget to close the ampoule with its cap to preserve the rest of the product from oxidation and it can be used up to 24hrs after opening. Make sure it's stored properly in a clean, dry, and dark environment.

Why Every Beauty Girl Uses Gillette Venus During Their Sunday Skincare Routine

This post was sponsored by Gillette Venus as part of an Influencer Activation for Influence Central and all opinions expressed in my post are my own.

Hi lovelies,

Skincare Sunday is one of my favorite days of the week, especially now that I have the new Gillette Venus Platinum Extra Smooth Razor by my side to add an added layer of pampering to my skincare routine. That’s why during one of my favorite past-times, which is browsing the beauty and skincare sections at Target and on Target.com, I always make sure to grab one so I’m properly prepared for smooth and healthy skin before-and-after shaving.

I remember when I was growing up and I first started shaving my legs and using the Gillette Fusion® Hydra Gel Moisturizing Shave Gel because it helped to keep my sensitive and young skin moisturized without any dry moments or cracking. 

Now that I’m a bit older, it’s even more of a priority to take the time to make sure that my skin stays healthy, hydrated, and youthful. During my Skincare Sunday routine, I take a long, hot shower to relax my body and muscles. Then I make sure to exfoliate, cleanse, and hydrate my face and indulge with masks and serums. 

But another essential part of my Sunday Skincare session is to shave my legs and underarms to make sure that they are smooth throughout the week with just a few maintenance shaves in-between sessions, for long-lasting smooth skin. This is super important because throughout the week, I’m constantly running in-between meetings, photo-shoots, and being on-set, so the last thing that I need is to worry about whether or not my legs and underarms are camera-ready. 

Due to the innovative new design of the Venus Platinum Extra Smooth Razor metal handle that is made especially for women, it makes it the perfect razor to pamper myself with during my sessions. The perfectly balanced metallic handle makes it easier for me to keep my grip while shaving in the shower, and the sleek, premium design that features a satin chrome finish gives me more control while shaving for less nicks and smoother, healthier skin. 

Plus, the razors comes with a 360˚ Ribbon of Moisture, which means that it has a premium glide technology that encompasses the blades and releases lubricants when wet for an advanced level of protection, comfort, and glide, along with five blades that has a diamond-like coat that makes my shaving experience even more pleasurable. 

Ready to up your Sunday Skincare routine? Then definitely visit the Target nearest you starting on April 22nd, for the exclusive Venus Platinum Touch and learn display to experience the new razor for yourself and take your skincare wellness to the next level.

Why Your Skin Will 'C The Difference' With Kiehl's Powerful-Strength Line-Reducing Concentrate

Hi lovelies,

Kiehl's has always been known to provide amazing skincare, but even they have outdone themselves this time around!

Introducing their most potent Powerful-Strength Line-Reducing Concentrate formula to the world this past week, their awesome launch party did not disappoint.

We got the beauty scoop on the revamp of its iconic formula, that's now infused with 12.5% of Vitamin C, we danced to tunes by the super sweet DJ Taryn Manning, and sipped on custom cocktails garnished with orange slices. 

Missed the soiree? Don't fret, get the full beauty scoop below!  

KIEHL’S INTRODUCES THE NEXT GENERATION OF THE CULT-FAVORITE POWERFUL-STRENGTH LINE-REDUCING CONCENTRATE

Scientific Achievement Drives the Company’s Largest Renovation in 166 Years

New York, NY – As pioneers in Vitamin C skin care, Kiehl’s has long understood the benefits of the ingredient and demonstrates extensive expertise in incorporating this potent ingredient at its most beneficial concentrations.

In 2005, Kiehl’s Powerful-Strength Line-Reducing Concentrate was launched as a cutting-edge product with 10.5% pure, stabilized Vitamin C – a formula that has remained one of the most popular, highly efficacious formulas on the market for over a decade. The original Powerful-Strength Line-Reducing Concentrate, which boasts hundreds of 5-star reviews online and numerous awards, sells at a rate of one per minute around the world, with more than 5 million bottles sold to date.

After 89 trials and years of perfecting, Kiehl’s is proud to announce the next breakthrough in Vitamin C, and the Company’s largest formula renovation in 166 years. This advanced formula has a heightened potency of 12.5% Vitamin C (10.5% Pure Vitamin C [LAscorbic Acid] and 2% Vitamin Cg [Ascorbyl Glucoside]), and is now made with Hyaluronic Acid, making it more effective than ever before. The new powerful, antioxidant-packed formula provides clinically-demonstrated1 performance and now has an even more pleasant application experience, featuring a fast-absorbing, non-oily texture. The product, which warms as it activates on the skin, now features a pleasant citrus scent as well, from the addition of essential oils.

The powerful, fast acting, anti-aging serum has undergone a state-of-the-art reformulation that amplifies the efficacy of the original, making it work better and faster. The result is an anti-aging serum clinically demonstrated1 to provide intensified results, including visible improvement on lines, wrinkles, radiance and texture, faster than ever before.

“Powerful-Strength Line-Reducing Concentrate has been a standout favorite amongst our customer base since its initial release in 2005. As anti-aging serums have become an integral part of skin routines around the globe, we have remained vigilant in developing efficacious products for our customers,” says Chris Salgardo, President of Kiehl’s US. “It was important to us to maintain the qualities of the original formula that our customers already loved, while simultaneously delivering an improved formula that would stand up to our clinical study standards.”

“Our renovated formula, now with Hyaluronic Acid and a greater amount of Vitamin C, provides faster, better results,” says Dr. Geoff Genesky, Scientific Director at Kiehl’s. “While Vitamin C is difficult to stabilize within a formula, the team worked meticulously to stabilize even more Vitamin C and deliver our most efficacious Powerful-Strength Line-Reducing Concentrate formula to date.”

12.5% Vitamin C:

• 10.5% Pure Vitamin C (L-Ascorbic Acid) When used as part of a topical skincare routine, this ingredient is known to contribute to helping diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles while visibly improving skin’s radiance and texture2
• 2% Vitamin Cg (Ascorbyl Glucoside) This ingredient is activated once it absorbs into the upper layers of the skin’s surface and is used in skincare products targeted to boost visible wrinkle reduction over time

In addition to being an essential vitamin in our diets and a prominent antioxidant, Vitamin C is an efficacious topical skincare ingredient.3 Our formula, with 12.5% Vitamin C, helps to provide the following benefits:

• Anti-Aging: reduction of the appearance of fine lines and deep set wrinkles
• Radiance: visible improvement of skin brightness
• Skin texture boosting: visible and tactile improvement of skin’s surface quality.

Fragmented Hyaluronic Acid This fast-absorbing, small sized class of hyaluronic acid is famous for its ability to hold up to 1000 times its weight in water.4 Hyaluronic Acid acts like a sponge by drawing moisture in to skin’s surface layers and expanding as it absorbs and is commonly used in skincare products that are targeted to visibly reduce lines and refine skin texture.
