The Best Skin Secret Ever? Ice Cubes.
You've probably heard that using ice cubes on the skin can be good for inflamed blemishes or to reduce puffiness, but its uses extend far beyond that. Makeup artists, estheticians, and dermatologists recommend ice cubes for everything. Pimples? Ice cubes. Puffiness? Ice cubes. Natural makeup primer? Ice cubes. The best part is that ice cubes can stand alone or be mixed with things like chamomile tea, caffeine, or even milk to promote a healthy glow by increasing blood circulation, soothing inflammation, and minimizing pores.
Soothe Stubborn Breakouts:
Sometimes it feels like everything you do to soothe an angry breakout just makes it worse! Breakouts are caused by bacteria and can be extremely painful when inflamed. Pressing ice cubes gently against the skin can constrict the blood vessels, reducing inflammation and forcing those blemishes to calm down.
Chamomile tea is a natural anti-inflammatory and works wonders for your skin. The flavinoids in the tea mixed with the cool temps of the ice packs an extra punch, leaving your skin looking tight, bright, and nourished. Here's what you'll need:
Chamomile Tea Bags
Ice Cube Trays
Filtered Water
Boil water and use it to steep 1-3 Chamomile tea bags. Let the water cool off to room temperature, and pour the tea into your ice cube trays. Let freeze overnight. When ready to use, grab 2 cubes and gently massage your face starting with the under eyes, and moving out toward the cheekbones, and onto the chin and forehead. If you have an especially stubborn breakout, use in the morning and at night on freshly cleaned skin!
Say Bye-Bye to Under-Eye Bags:
Under-eye bags can come from a variety of things - lack of sleep, sleeping in your makeup, aging, smoking, or even too much sun exposure. Cool temperatures reduce swelling and inflammation, so chamomile or iced coffee ice cubes may be just the DIY fix you need! When it comes to the eyes, these magic ice cubes can be used as a cold compress or to drain excess fluid from the eye area. Here's what to do:
Wrap the ice cubes in gauze or cotton, then, starting with the inner eye corners, slide the cubes up toward the brows in a circular motion. If your eyes look especially tired, swap your chamomile cubes for iced coffee cubes and repeat the steps above!
BB Cream vs Tinted Moisturizer
So, what's the difference between BB creams and tinted moisturizers anyway? And how do you know which one is right for you? The answer depends on what you're using them for!
What's The Difference?
BB Creams are a one-stop-shop with a little bit of everything all mixed in. They usually contain SPF, anti-aging ingredients, primer, and also act as a foundation with light to medium coverage ☀️. BB creams are perfect for the days you still want a full makeup look but might not have the time to do your entire routine.
Tinted moisturizers on the other hand, are mainly focused on hydration with the addition of minimal coverage and sometimes SPF. They are great for light coverage and can be worn on their own or under your foundation, while BB creams usually stand alone.
When To Use Tinted Moisturizer :
We love tinted moisturizers because not only are they lightweight and ultra-hydrating, they also give you radiant sheer coverage. Tinted moisturizers are perfect for days you don't want to wear a full face of makeup but still want to put your best face forward!
Radiance Tinted Moisturizer
Our supercharged Radiance Tinted Moisturizer with SPF 46 is rich with antioxidants, oil-free, and is fast absorbing to give your skin a boost while evening out the complexion and reducing redness. Its universal color adapts to the complexion of the wearer, while moisturizing, smoothing, and restoring the skin. Did we mention that its mattifying?

Cleansing Your Skin Before Bed - It Matters!
We know you've heard it before - sleeping in your makeup is one of the worst things you can do to your skin. But what about just washing your face? What you might not know is that sleeping in your makeup or not cleansing your skin before bed - even for just one night - might seem harmless, but over time it can cause extensive damage to your skin.
As you sleep, your skin takes the time to renew itself. When your skin is coated with a layer of, usually oily, makeup or residue from the way, pores get clogged which can lead to breakouts. When the pores are clogged, the skin can't renew itself, causing it to look fatigued, maybe even aiding in the creation of fine lines and wrinkles.
Our solution?
Our Mandelic Acid 5+ Re-texturizing Pads. Easily minimize the appearance of pores while exfoliating and brightening skin. These pads tackle a range of skin woes - from acne to hyperpigmentation to aging - and are best used after washing your face in the evening.

Did we mention...
Mandelic acid is a natural anti-bacterial solution. This combats clogged pores while boosting cell regeneration and elasticity. The result? Say goodbye to wrinkles, fine lines, and dark spots.
Tips & Tricks...
Everyone's skin is different, so use every other day to start.
Step 1
Wipe pad across forehead with moderate pressure (not too much at first!). From the forehead, move to cheek and down to jawline. Then wipe pad upward to cheek.
Step 2
Repeat on other side of face.
Step 3
Last, apply to nose and chin. Careful around corners of mouth and corners of nose, where skin is more sensitive. *Do not use more than once a day if skin around the mouth is too sensitive.
