I have been investing a lot of time into taking extra care of my skin this year. A few weeks ago I had an awesome facial which include unique double toning, double exfoliation, extraction and a relaxing facial massage – it was heavenly! It has been a while since I had a professional facial and I do plan to go more often. My esthetician was knowledgeable and amazing and I learned that my skin was slightly dehydrated as well. I have been really trying to drink as much water as I can to change that.
My skin issues are random breakouts, scaring and hyper pigmentation. I recently added some *new* (sort of) items to regimen and I have been loving them so far.

You already know how much I love Dickinson’s Witch Hazel. I have been using the Pore Perfecting Toner for years. Before leaving for Grenada, I went to Walmart to pick some up, but it was out of stock.
Instead, I found the new Dickinson’s Enhanced Witch Hazel Hydrating Toner. I have been using it for the past month and it has definitely replaced the Pore Perfecting Toner. It contains Aloe and Vitamin E and definitely hydrates my skin.
In my self care post I mentioned that I had purchased the Lush Brazened Honey Mask. I have seen people rave so much about it and the guy at Lush sang its praises as well. I think it may be a keeper. I have never used any of Mask quite like it. I promise I’ll do a full review in a few weeks.
A few months ago I mentioned that I was trying Emu Oil as part of my skincare routine. To be honest, I used it for a few weeks and felt like I was breaking out more so I ditched it. I have used Rose Hip seed oil in the past and I really liked it. I actually kinda forgot how much I liked it until I ventured into TJ Maxx a few weeks ago.
Their beauty section is always full of hidden skincare gems at a fraction of the price. I purchased this Sukin certified Organic Rose Hip Seed Oil for which retails for $19.99, for only $9.99. Rose hip seed oil contains essential fatty acids necessary for protecting cell membranes, skin healing vitamin E, beta carotene and the powerful anti-aging antioxidant, lycopene.
Since incorporating these products into my regimen, I have noticed a change in the texture of my skin and my skin definitely feels more hydrated (also due to my improved water intake). I’ll definitely keep you posted on my progress.
YOUR TURN: Have you tried any of these products?

Your skin looks beautiful. I LOVE Lush products, but I don’t buy them as often as I would like because it’s pretty costly. However that mask sounds amazing and I may have to give it a try. Can’t wait to read your full review on it.
Thanks Siobhan. Lush definitely has my heart with these masks. Just bought a new one today so the review is coming soon ..finally.
Vashti, I am a lover of face masks, is there a better way to relax at the end of a long day..top it off with a back rub and I am in heaven, lol…I have loved using natural hair products and would like to make it a full body process, thanks for sharing #brownbloglove
Yes, I agree.
ooh can’t wait to hear more about the mask! I’m a HUGE fan of lush but have only ever tried the bath stuff! that sounds like it might be worth looking into!
I’m in love wit the masks, you should definitely try one.
I haven’t tried either of these products, but I have used witch hazel as a toner for years. Which reminds me, I need to pick up some. I’ll look into this brand.
Yes, witch hazel is great. Definitely one of my faves.
