HAVE YOU DISCOVERED AZELAIC ACID YET? IF YOU HAVE OILY OR ACNE PRONE SKIN, IT MAY BE YOUR SKIN SAVIOR!👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼 _______________________________________________ True skincare innovations are not nearly as common as you’d think, given the number of new products and brands that launch every year. And when it comes to ingredients, it’s even more rare. Ingredient complexes, blends, combinations, sure. But new skincare ingredients are few and far between. . Until rather recently, it wasn’t widely known or accepted that ingredients like Niacinamide, Salicylic Acid and Azelaic Acid were particularly useful for moderating oily skin. Azelaic Acid is the new kid on the block and if you’re really oily or acne-prone, don’t overlook this unsung hero. . For oily skin, The Ordinary’s Azelaic Acid Suspension 10% is is the perfect layering treatment that’s easily incorporated into an oily skin routine. . With the light creamy texture of a face lotion, it could easily be mistaken for a moisturizer. It is not. In fact, there are no replenishing ingredients in the Azelaic Acid Suspension 10%, aside from a small amount of Vitamin E. That’s not going to feed the skin what it needs from a good replenishing moisturizer. . The Ordinary says its Azelaic Acid Suspension 10% “visibly brightens the skin tone, improves the evenness of skin texture, reduces the look of blemishes, and offers antioxidant support.” If your skin tends to be irritated — and many oily and acne prone skins are — then The Ordinary’s Azelaic Acid Suspension 10% is the perfect treatment for rebalancing and soothing your reactive skin. .

HAVE YOU TRIED THE ORDINARY SQUALANE CLEANSER? SHARE WHAT YOU THINK BELOW!👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼 _______________________________________________ I can’t say enough about The Ordinary’s skin-licious Squalane Cleanser — the one and only face wash that the brand offers. Not only is it dirt cheap (no pun intended!), but it’s a phenomenal cleanser that gets the job done. . Given the brand only offers one cleanser, I know it seems counterintuitive that The Ordinary’s Squalane Cleanser would be ideal for oily skin. And even more so since it’s a cleansing oil-cleansing balm hybrid. But if you subscribe to the belief that oil breaks up oil, then you completely get the reason why the Squalane Cleanser is for you, too. . You just massage a small amount onto dry skin for a truly ritualistic cleansing experience. Its thick, rich texture emulsifies with warm water to remove grime, sunscreen, makeup — and excess surface oil. . For me, it’s so effective that I often don’t bother to double cleanse after it, feeling that it’s done the job perfectly well. It’s simply a no-brainer for the price. . Curious?

WHAT ARE YOUR FAVORITE PRODUCTS FROM THE ORDINARY? _______________________________________________ It’s so hilarious to me that given how much I love this product, and how many bottles of it that I’ve been through, that I’ve never fully reviewed it before. I’ve included it in my IG stories and in glimpses of my skincare routines, but I’ve never actually taken the time to go in depth about why I love The Ordinary’s Marine Hyaluronics so much. And why I have so many of them in back-stock as I write this! Marine Hyaluronics has a super special place in my skincare routine, quite unlike every other product in my day. It’s actually among the first 2 skincare products that I use each morning, way before my actual AM routine kicks off. Every morning, Orpheus and I wake up around 4:30-5. (He’s a cat and I’m an old human.) Of course, he gets fed immediately. I turn on the coffee maker and head to the bathroom for, let’s say, my “skincare preview.” I have 2 concerns that need to be addressed immediately: under-eye puffiness and dehydration. So, my first-thing-in-the-morning go-to products are The Ordinary’s Marine Hyaluronics and the brand’s Caffeine Solution 5% + EGCG. Marine Hyaluronics is the most watery humectant serum I’ve come across. I think that’s why I love it first thing. It absorbs immediately, like a toner. And since I’m concerned that I’m dehydrated, I want it to sink in and get to work immediately. I invite you to discover why I’ve gone through maybe a dozen bottles of Marine Hyaluronics on this week’s new skincarma blog at skincarma.com!

NAME ONE THING YOU DID YESTERDAY TO SHOW YOURSELF SOME LOVE! _______________________________________________ In the late afternoon yesterday, I rehydrated my skin with a hydrating, antioxidant toning mist using the 7 Skin Method! I’m always in the mood for a good hydrating face mist! Several weeks ago, just as winter was hitting here in NYC, I crafted an entire blog article titled, Favorite Face Mists for Keeping Skin Hydrated in the Cold. Among my faves reviewed in that piece are the Derma E Hydrating Mist, the Skinfix Barrier+ Nutrient Water Misting Tonic and Sunday Riley’s Pink Drink. But the NIOD Superoxide Dismutase Saccharide Mist feels next level. As with everything NIOD creates, SDSM isn’t just some run-of-the-mill skincare product; it’s much more than a hydrating toner. As a matter of fact, NIOD denies that SDSM2 is a toner at all. So, while we can agree to disagree on how to refer to SDSM2, what exactly is NIOD’s Superoxide Dismutase Saccharide Mist? First, as indicated by the product’s very name, SDSM2 is enriched with Superoxide Dismutase — a naturally occurring antioxidant found in the skin that’s the body’s most essential antioxidant to fend off cell damage. According to the NIOD scientists, “Superoxide is the main reactive oxygen species in each cell and SOD is the body's natural way of out-competing the ongoing and very damaging effect of superoxide in cells. Arguably, SOD is the most important force against oxidation in the human body.” Read more about this remarkable toner on the Skincarma Blog at skincarma.com.
