About Me

I’m Becca and I’m a young professional working in the beauty industry. I’ve always had self-image issues when it comes to my skin, but I’ve learned that taking care of my body means taking care of my skin and learning to love and embrace myself and all my imperfections!

Join me on my journey here and on Instagram as I obsess over products I love most.

🍃SUNDAY NIGHT ROUTINE . 🍃My skin has been breaking out hormonally so I’m sticking to some tried and true faves tonight. Then, ending my routine with Tamanu Oil (which is anti-inflammatory and always helps with my acne) and a massage from my Amethyst Facial Roller while I binge season 3 of Better Call Saul! Anyone else love to binge on Netflix while you work on your skincare routine?! . Routine Details: . 🍃#TheOrdinary Rosehip Seed Oil to remove my makeup (not pictured). . 🍃#CosRx Low pH Good Morning Cleanser . 🍃#KraveBeauty Kale-Lalu-yAHA . 🍃#Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Cream . 🍃#LifeFlo Tamanu Oil massaged in with my Amethyst Roller 💜

💙Which new purchases are you currently testing? . 💙I recently bought @herbivorebotanicals Lapis Oil and Blue Tansy Mask because I had to see what all of the hype was about. I’ve just started patch testing them so I don’t have a full opinion yet, but I can say that there’s one in particular that I like most already! . 💙I’ll be posting a quick first impressions review tomorrow morning, but in the meantime I’m having fun taking photos and videos of the gorgeous packaging 😍

✨What’s your favorite exfoliating mask?! . ✨This little bottle has been changing my life lately! I’ve been having issues with uneven texture on my skin the past few weeks, especially around my cheeks. . ✨Uneven texture often happens as a result of dead skin cells building up on your skin’s surface. It’s an issue that forces me to learn balance, because while I know exfoliating is the answer, it’s important not to over exfoliate. . ✨But using this AHA 30% + BHA 2% mask from #TheOrdinary every other week has helped significantly! I apply it over dry skin and let it sit for 8 minutes. You can leave it on for 10 but I’m not quite there because it tingles a lot (probably because of the glycolic acid). After my 8 minutes is up, I wash it off thoroughly with warm water, and my face is left feeling baby smooth! It doesn’t feel drying at all, but I do like to follow it up with a soothing sheet mask and lots of moisturizing.

🍃HAPPY FRIDAY! . 🍃Just a close-up shot of my Rosehip Seed Oil from The Ordinary! I got this a long while ago and I’m afraid of it going bad so I’ve been adding it to my routine every chance I get so I can use it all up! . 🍃Lately, I’ve been using it as an oil cleanser to remove my makeup and it probably removes my foundation even more effectively than my Garnier Micellar Water. I also use it as the last step in my routine lately mixed with a few drops of Tamanu Oil for some extra hydration, and to help with lightening my acne marks. We’re having a never-ending winter in the northeast so my skin has been happily drinking up all of this oil! . 🍃What’s your favorite oil to use?!

🍊 NEW BLOG POST 🍊 . My new favorite AM product: Vitamin C. A lot of you know I recently added #SundayRiley CEO to my morning routine and I fell in love with it immediately because it significantly lightened my PIH in such a short period of time. . It took me a long time to finally jump on the Vitamin C train because I didn’t really see the point of adding anything else to my morning routine aside from moisturizer and sunscreen. But I’m so glad I finally gave this a try. . So if you’re like me and you’ve been hesitant about adding Vitamin C to your routine, click the link in my bio. My new post covers what Vitamin c is, the benefits, and how to introduce it into your routine!🍊
