Vitamin C Cream Cleanser - one to try!

Vitamin C Cream Cleanser + my Facetheory Mini Facial Routine!

This mini routine has got it all ~ a creamy cleanse, a gentle exfoliation & overnight hydration. I love this quick routine when I’m too tired for a full 10-step nighttime ritual but still want to deep clean & condition my skin...

🛀 First step: The Vitamin C Cream Cleanser is offered in a Mandarin Orange scent (also in unscented) which to me smells just like an orange creamsicle. It’s a lusciously rich cream featuring stabilized Vitamin C (Vitamin C oxidizes very quickly especially when exposed to air so when it’s stabilized like in the cleanser, it can be a much more effective antioxidant).

I really love facial massage and this cream cleanser makes it really easy - I use a fair amount, massage in for a minute then let sit on my face for one more minute...

It provides a very deep, pore cleansing experience without making skin feel tight - instead my skin is left very clean & hydrated. WIN-WIN

Step Two: The Glycolic Acid Scrub provides the gentle yet highly effective exfoliating phase in this routine. It has glycolic acid, salicylic acid & jojoba beads.

Last Step: The Relaxing Night Cream is the ideal final flourish to this mini facial because it’s so soothing & relaxing! I lightly massage on a decent amount and breath deeply that calming lavender scent...ahhhh 💤💤💤

Full reviews of both the scrub & night cream can be found on my blog.

Product Review Time!

Product Review: The Relaxing Night Cream from Facetheory

Relaxing Night Cream M10 - Lavender Scent (also comes in an unscented version) offers the benefits of Hyaluronic Acid, Vitamin C & E, and Argan Oil.

The delicate lavender scent of this nourishing night cream is very relaxing - it enhances my nighttime routine by providing moisture, antioxidant protection & calmness.

💙 The HA + glycerin in this formula helps skin retain moisture

💙 The naturally sourced Ferulic Acid works with vitamin E to protect

💙 The Omega acid rich Argan Oil calms & soothes distressed skin - I feel this is what my skin benefits most from!

Since I have dry + dehydrated skin, I need to add-in some extra moisturizing ingredients.

After cleansing, I splash on a hydrating toner, then add the HA serum.

Next I gently pat on my must-have Snail Essence.

I like to finish with my new BFF Repair Cream, then finally, slather on a decent amount of the Relaxing Night Cream...breath in deeply the sense of calm, and sleep well knowing my skin will be well taken care of!

How do you apply your nighttime routine - does it include a special finish like a sleeping mask??

Don’t forget about your hands!

It’s Hand Care Awareness Day!

Not really - I just made that up, but it should be a thing!! I do adore a good hand cream though...

🖐 I know everyone’s washing their hands more than usual & doing lots of disinfecting so using copious amounts of hand cream is probably part of the new norm.

🖐 However - it’s ideal to use hand cream products featuring anti-aging formulas like the Super Retinol Anti-Aging Hand Treatment from Beauty Pie which provides smoothing & renewing. 

This is a fab nighttime cream.

🖐 Fun Fact: I also like to use anti-aging products that perhaps didn’t work out so well on my face - like the Retinol treatment from The Inky List,  repurposed as a nighttime hand treatment - I follow this with a rich hand cream 👉 During the daytime, be sure to wear sunscreen!!
