Adulting & Adventuring with Jess - Current Skincare Journey Status
So I will start my summer themed posts officially NEXT WEDNESDAY! Can you believe it?? This is my 3rd summer documenting my summer on here & if you have never seen them or have absolutely no idea what I am talking about click here! I love summer so much & I have so many exciting things planned!
I haven't posted about my skin in such a long time so let me tell y'all how my skin has been doing! My skincare journey hasn't exactly been the easiest if you have read my blog for a long time I have gone through such a battle within the last 2 years with my skin.
So this pic above is what I look like currently with no makeup on! I am super confident with how my skin is doing at the moment but the journey wasn't always like this. The summer right after I graduated high school my skin was at its best it's ever been but I never wore makeup but like once a week but I knew that wasn't going to last long because I eventually had to be an adult, get a job, & have to look presentable 90% of my week.
Over 2 1/2 years ago when I had my first retail job I was going through the stress of getting use to the work world, I had very negative influences in my life, & I was so stressed with how much negativity I was surrounding myself with that I was drinking 1-2 bottles of soda a day which is horrible for your skin.
I had the worst breakout of my life during this time & ever since then I've really had a battle with my skin. There's times where my skin would do great & times where my skin would be horrible. I tried so many different kinds of products & I did a ton of research on my skin on what works for my skin type & what doesn't.
For a few months from April 2018-November 2018 I started doing facials (which I miss them so much I just haven't had the money lately to do it!) & the tips from the estheticians I had were super helpful & honestly changed my life. Facials may be a little pricy but it sure was worth every single penny!
I get asked by my close friends especially what products I use that help my skin. I understand everyone's skin types are different but I'm going to link down below what products have changed my life. I have dry skin with redness especially on my cheek area. Let me know if I put y'all on any new products or if you wanna suggest me to new products I'm open to suggestions!
Garnier BB Cream - I've been using this BB cream for over a year now & on days where I know I'm not going to wear makeup for a long time or if I want to go more for a natural look this is what I use. It applies so well & I use this stuff at least once a week sometimes twice a week depending on what I'm doing.
Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant - THIS STUFF HAS CHANGED MY LIFE!! I do this stuff almost everyday. I've gone to maybe like 5 times a week using this stuff. I only use it at night before I go in the shower & I swear I started seeing the best results on my skin after being super consistent with this stuff! Highly recommend!
Simple Water Boost Sheet Masks - My mom is so obsessed with this stuff & I'm so glad she put me on this! I try to do this mask once a week. I love the way this mask feels. The moisture against my skin does so well. It honestly helps me so much with the dryness of my skin. I highly recommend trying this mask out!
Simple Skin Calming Sheet Masks - Out of this mask & the other one this one is my personal favorite. After a super stressful day putting this mask on instantly soothes me. I think every stressed young adult deserves to have this mask in their life. I get mine mostly from CVS but they are also available at Target!
Other products I've mentioned before in the past that have changed my life:
