Let’s say it’s been 5 days since you’ve introduced a new product to your skin care routine... ⁣
⁣
You’re looking in the mirror and noticing a bit of congestion (small bumps) or redness on your skin. ⁣
⁣
Your tempted to discontinue using the new product because hey, your skin isn’t looking any better than it was last week 🤷🏼‍♀️⁣
⁣
My advice to you is this - Don’t give up on your new product just yet!⁣
⁣
Unless you’re experiencing pain like a burning sensation when applying the new product, keep going. Burning is a sign your barrier is compromised and this product is likely not right for you at this time 🙅🏼‍♀️⁣
⁣
Otherwise, your skin needs one to two weeks to fully adjust to a new product, and perhaps longer if you have reactive skin. ⁣
⁣
If after two weeks your skin’s reaction isn’t improving, consider removing the product in question from your routine.⁣
⁣
Remember, your skin takes at least 30 days to fully turnover so you won’t see any visible results until you’ve used the product in question consistently for one month 👀⁣
⁣
Further, if your new product is an exfoliating acid like AHA, BHA or retinol, you should EXPECT purging. ⁣
⁣
This is because breakouts sit under the surface for 30-90 days before they show up on the skin 🤯⁣
⁣
These new exfoliating ingredients will bring your breakouts to the surface faster for you (and prevent new ones). Stick with it for 3 months and start noticing visibly clearer skin. ⁣
⁣
Patience is a virtue, ladies, and good things take time!! Only if you stick with a new product will you be able to reap the benefits 💫

This is what REAL skin looks like...⁣
⁣
No filter, no makeup, just the real me with an inflamed right eye from a painful stye that popped up yesterday, post inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) between my brows and on my right side and of course, a beautiful hormonal blemish in full swing on my left 💁🏼‍♀️⁣
⁣
A year ago I’d never post a raw photo of my skin like this but this is who I’ve become.⁣
⁣
I’m no longer ashamed of my skin, heck I’m damn proud of my progress!! 💃⁣
⁣
You should be too.⁣
⁣
Let’s take a step further together by starting to meditate every day for at least 5 minutes starting TOMORROW!⁣
⁣
This is my before photo which means the #SDMeditationChallenge is now ON 🧘🏼‍♀️⁣
⁣
I’m excited to see if you’ll gain the courage to post your before photo. It’s so freeing, I promise you won’t regret it.⁣
⁣
Happy Friday to you! Enjoy this beautiful long weekend coming our way ☀️

Favourite toner of all time 🙌🏻⁣ ⁣ Toners

Favourite toner of all time 🙌🏻⁣
⁣
Toners get a bad rep as traditional toners contain alcohol, witch hazel and other astringents that leave the skin feeling tight, dry and sensitive.⁣
⁣
Not this beauty!!⁣
⁣
Ever noticed how great your skin looks after swimming in the ocean? Made with only 3 ingredients, this toner brings salt water skin benefits home to Canada 🌊 ⁣
⁣
Sea salt balances the skin’s oil production, defends against bacteria and calms reactive skin.⁣
⁣
Oxygenated water hydrates and soothes the skin, especially after wearing a mask 😷 ⁣
⁣
Hypochlorous acid (HOCL) is a naturally occurring molecule produced by our white blood cells to fight bacteria and inflammation. ⁣
⁣
A perfect combo for problem skin ⚡️⁣
⁣
Use it as a hydrating toner, post-workout cleansing mist, after sun mist and first aid spray! Have you tried this toner yet??

Our sense of touch is so powerful and yet we often forget the effect it has on our complexion 🖐🏻⁣
⁣
Are you mindful of how much pressure you’re using when cleansing and applying products?⁣
⁣
I often find new clients scrubbing their skin aggressively when cleansing just to ‘get it done’ or acne lesions becoming inflamed after applying moisturizer with one hand and really rubbing it in 🤦🏼‍♀️⁣
⁣
Avoid making your acne worse by stimulating your breakouts or triggering facial redness by using GENTLE pressure.⁣
⁣
My #skintiptuesday for you is this: touch your skin like you would a baby...⁣
⁣
Your skin will thank you for it ✨
