Moisturized - A Quarantine Skincare Diary
Lately, I have been serious about my skincare. This quarantine has made it much easier to focus - I have spent so much time staring at myself in the mirror, and I realized, my skin needed some love. I have tried many products while staying home, and these are my must haves!
A clean slate
I have been using this Petal Spa Oil to Foam Cleanser from Mamonde, a K-beauty brand - I was hesitant about using an oil cleanser, because my skin is naturally oily. But this product is AMAZING! After I washed off the cleanser, my face was noticably matte and clean. This product is lightly scented, but it is a faint natural rose scent. I will be using this cleanser until the last drop!
Primed and ready
We prime our skin for makeup, why not for skincare?
The Artis Brush Phantom Silks are a brand new product, delivering hylauronic skincare primer to the skin through nanofibre technology - really cool stuff! When I use this primer before my skincare, I can FEEL my skin soaking in all of my amazing productst. Every time I use these, my skin GLOWS. I highly recommend trying these to take your skincare regimen to the next level.

Mamonde Floral Hydro Cream
Here is another from my new K-beauty fav, Mamonde. This is the second product of theirs that I have tried, and I'm starting to see a trend - their products make you feel like you are getting the finest spa treatment. This Floral Hydro Cream is silky smooth and made my skin feel so soft, I couldn't stop touching it. Lightly scented with Narcissis, this is a great pair for the Petal Spa Cleanser I am using.

Now THIS RIGHT HERE is a game changer! So, quick story - I had a small patch of eczema - it comes back once every blue moon, and takes FOREVER to clear up. But as soon as I used this body butter, it cleared up in a day! ONE DAY. This product has serious, mositurizing ingredients and is highly effective, without all of the frills and fragrance - fair trade unrefined Shea butter, yerba mansa, avocado oil, coconut oil, olive oil, jojoba oil and more. If you want a product that works and leaves your skin glowing, this is it!
