My stress breakouts have been rampant as of late a

My stress breakouts have been rampant as of late and the resulting hyperpigmentation constellation on my face has been a less than desirable result of said acne. In an effort to simplify my routine, I purchased Live Botanicals’ Hydrating Serum and Ambient Moisture Liquid during their sale in May and have been using them both regularly. The Hydrating Serum is light, but as its name claims, hydrating, and its ingredient list is simple but effective: (aloe barbadensis (aloe vera) juice*^, camellia sinensis (green tea) hydrosol*^, lactobacillus ferment and sodium hyaluronate (vegan). The Ambient Moisture Liquid is wonderfully lightweight for my combination skin and has a light berry scent. My skin just drinks this up, and it’s perfect for summer. I think it will be a little too light for cooler months, but I’m curious to test it out when the season changes. These products work well together and under makeup. I’m putting both of these on my repurchase list! Have you tried these products and/or any products from Live Botanical?

Sade Baron in partnership with Sahajan Skincare |#

Sade Baron in partnership with Sahajan Skincare |#prsample #texturetuesday…bubbles on bubbles from #blackownedbrand Sade Baron. I love bar soaps and this one is no exception. It’s a dense bar of soap that lathers beautifully, and its lavender scent seals the deal for me. Another one to add to my favorites list! Have you tried Sade Baron?

Sunday with Sahajan’s The Beauty Oil |#prsample

Sunday with Sahajan’s The Beauty Oil |#prsample I’ve been taking a break from facial oils this year as a personal skincare experiment. When I received Sahajan’s newest product, I was both excited to see that it was an oil and slightly nervous to incorporate an oil back into my routine. Initial thoughts:
- Light and suitable for summer
- No coconut oil (great for my acne-prone skin)
- Beautiful Ayurvedic blend that includes moringa oil, with its 90+ nutrients and vitamins A, B, C & D
- No discernable scent
- Layers well over skincare I’m excited to see what kind of results I get with continued use. Have you tried Sahajan products before? Bud vase from @bombabird; a sweet birthday gift from the lovely @tenderforms
