The At-Home Facial Peels Every Beauty Girl Is Trying

SkincareCandy Washington1 Comment

Hi lovelies,

I love a lazy and long self-care Sunday full of meditating, going for walks, and journaling. But I also love upping my skincare game during my down-time and using at-home facial peels.

There was a point in time when I was exfoliating too much, which is a huge skincare mistake, so now I just exfoliate once-a-week or every 2-3 days as-needed.

So trust me when I say, I’ve tried a ton of at-home facial peels and I’ve compiled my top picks below.

Let me know what you think and grab yours, here.

4 Skincare Must-Haves For Glowing Skin

SkincareCandy WashingtonComment

Hi lovelies,

Earlier this year my skin had a major freak-out. I was over exfoliating and using a product with retinol and it was just too harsh and too much for my sensitive skin. That’s when really learned that less is more, especially when it came to my skincare routine.

I needed to give my skin time to heal and breathe so I stopped using everything and slimmed down to my skincare essentials. Doing less to my skin, with gentler products, was actually the best way to get glowing and healthy skin.

Luckily, my skin is on the mend and is back to being it’s healthy and plump self. Read on below for the four skincare products that got my skin healthy and glowing again!

If you like what you see below, you can get your skin glowing, here.

Start your skincare routine by treating your skin with a super gentle cleanser to remove dirt, make-up, excess oils, and residue.

My go-to is the Skin Laundry Gentle Foaming Face Wash. It’s a mild cleanser that you can use everyday with soothing botanical extracts that smells like fresh linens.

It leaves my skin smooth, calm, soft, and clean and doesn’t overdry or irritate my skin.

I follow-up my cleanser with Arcona Cranberry Toner. It’s a three-in-one natural and gentle cranberry milk toner that has nourishing elements of antioxidant rich botanicals and rice milk. My skin feels cleansed, toned, and hydrated.

Plus, it protects my skin while prepping it for the next step of moisturizer and serum and doesn’t have any harsh chemicals that could irritate my sensitive skin.

After cleansing and toning, I then moisturize my skin with Sunday Riley C.E.O. C Plus E Antioxidant Protect Plus Repair Moisturizer. It’s one of my favorite moisturizers that I use under makeup during the day and at-night to repair and restore my skin.

My skin feels smooth, hydrated, and protected. It also helps with keeping your skin youthful and glowing.

Vitamin C has been such a game-changer in my skincare routine, so I finish with Kiehl’s Powerful-Strength Line-Reducing Concentrate Serum that contains 12.5% of Vitamin C. It brightens my skin, reduces fine lines, fades dark spots, and keeps my skin radiant.

I also love that it has Hyaluronic Acid but isn’t harsh and keeps my skin smooth and is carefully-formulated for all skin types, even sensitive skin.
