Holy Hangover?! Stressful week in the office? Overly indulged on ice cream?
Whatever the situation is, you dialed 9-1-1 to the skin ambulance because look like a wreck and you need a quick skin fix. That’s where I come in! My adulation of tequila, coupled with a love of multi-tasking and ice cream, has given me prime perspective on what the skin needs.
I’ve tried it all from sheet masks to ice packs, to steam rooms, but when you are in a pinch and running out the door those remedies won’t suffice.
I’m breaking down my favorite tools and creams to get you up to speed and out the door faster than you can say “that last margarita was completely unnecessary.”
Collagen Beauty Water and Facial Massage
Lymphatic drainage is all the rage right now when it comes to healthy skin and facial massage is the way to achieve it. While watching Netflix at night, I’ll massage my face with the Derma Brilliance massage attachment. It also had a brush head which is good for exfoliating. However I’m addicted to the massage head because it’s so relaxing, and skin is instantly pink and pretty.
Also, before I walk out the door to the office, I fill my water bottle with water and add the Collagen Beauty supplement. It’s not only packed with anti-oxidants it’s also yummy! You have to shake the bottle pretty well to make sure it dilutes.
Add these two to your daily regimen for continuous glowing skin.
Ice Roller + Jade Roller
Beauty bloggers have been raving about the jade roller and I was like “gurl that’s a myth” but once I tried it – I was hooked. At night before bed I will use the jade roller after I apply my moisturizers. The little roller feels so good on the temples and eye lids it’s super relaxing after a long day staring at a computer. Then I’ll use the Jade Gua Sha Scraper when applying any sheet masks. Keep these guys in the fridge for extra zen.
In the morning, with clean dry skin, I will use the ice roller before I apply moisturizer. If you don’t try anything here THIS is the ONE THING that will make you look super model ready in the morning. It’s under $11 and makes a huge difference on your skin.
The ice roller is an instant skin boost.
Skin Care
Now let’s talk products. I started using Caudalie when they opened their store at Brickell City Centre. I will say this, the products are incredible, and selecting the right product for your skin is very important. Because we are looking for 24 Hour recovery here’s what I suggest.
After I clean my face, I use the Vino Perfect Brightening Essence my skin drinks this up and immediately looks brighter. After the essence, I layer The Premier Cru Cream Riche (just as decadent as it sounds) WITH the Hydrating Mask Cream.
Remember we are going for INSTANT RECOVERY here so moisturizing and brightening is key. I wouldn’t do this every day.
Finally, I use the eye cream, the tinted French Kiss, and spray my face with the Beauty Elixir and I’m out the door.
I’ll do this the night before and in the morning. Promise your skin will look like you’ve been at a Canyon Ranch yoga retreat for a month.
