Let’s make one very clear: I look forward to my monthly facial. At my January visit this past Saturday, my esthetician, Krissy, said my skin looked hydrated with a healthy glow. It was almost a first for me to avoid breakouts or clogged pores. She asked me what I was doing. I suppose it’s the Amazon Prime Unique Beauty Products I Use.
We all know the benefits of what a facial provides, from reviving dull, lifeless skin to keeping skin supple and easing tension lines. I first learned those skincare advantages when my face flared up with menopausal adult acne nearly twenty years ago. I’ve tried the HydraFacial, Trophy Facial, and Microdermabrasion.
The Amazon products—all inexpensive items—significantly contribute to my bedtime beauty routine. What are they? Let’s take a look.
My nighttime regime starts with organic coconut oil. After removing eyeliner and foundation, I slather my skin with coconut oil. Why coconut oil? When getting new specs last year, my optician Kelly Shaffer recommended the coconut oil and baking soda combination would do wonders for my acne-prone skin.
Product number two: We all know about sodium bicarbonate, or baking soda. This agent is used to brighten our teeth and neutralize stomach acid. Who knew that baking soda has so many benefits for glowing skin?
I massage a small amount of baking soda onto my skin with the coconut oil and then use my Neora facial cleanser. I rinse until all products are thoroughly removed — finally, the skin health powerhouse, red raspberry seed oil.
The anti-aging red raspberry seed oil wallops a punch of Vitamin E, Vitamin A, and phytosterols, which act as an emollient and moisturizer, restoring natural glow and youth to the skin. I started using this essential oil in August 2019 when I learned I won the AARP Sisterhood Is Beautiful Essay Contest. I didn’t want to show up for the makeover with acne; I already had the hair challenge.
My skin agrees with the claims from the Leven Rose website regarding red seed raspberry oil:
🌸 Moisturize skin
◊ Calm inflamed skin
🌸 Diminish fine lines and wrinkles
◊ Reduce the symptoms of acne
🌸 Natural SPF properties
◊ Bring a radiant glow with cell reproduction.
All alternative beauty products seem to have an antiseptic quality to keep acne at bay, a soothing effect of removing dead skin, and the ultimate cell regeneration for radiant, glowy skin.
Don’t we all want results-oriented skincare? I think I found the winning formula for my skin, Amazon’s unique beauty products, and my monthly facials. If you live in the Harrisburg area and need a skincare lift or to update your makeup, check out Krissy.
