Monthly Favorites: January 2024 Edition!

[GeorginaBT]

New year, new beauty faves! 💁‍♀️✨ In 2024, I’m doubling down on beauty products that work for me – seeing dry patches on my skin? There’s a moisturizer for that. Need to prevent acne after a workout? I tried a facial spray to fight it off! I’m big on new year’s resolutions, and I’m using this time of year to find motivation to dedicate more time and energy to the beauty products and routines that bring me joy. 💜

Here are a few of the products I’ve been reaching for most this month:

• alpyn beauty Melt Moisturizer with Bakuchiol and Squalane 1.7 oz/ 50 mL 
• BondiBoost Rapid Repair Leave-In Hair Serum for Damaged Hair with Aloe 4.23 oz/ 125 mL 
• Dr. Jart+ Ceramidin™ Skin Barrier Moisturizing Cream 
• maude Soak - vitamin-rich mineral bath salts 
• Tower 28 Beauty Tower 28 x Kung Fu Panda 4 SOS Daily Rescue Facial Spray 4 fl.oz. / 120 mL

For the really painful deep pimples, I use Murad Deep Relief Acne Treatment with Salicylic Acid Liquid Pimple Patch for Painful Acne 1 o.... i find that this really works for me! For like the little ones i like to add Paula's Choice 10% Azelaic Acid Booster for Redness Relief 1 oz/ 30 mL to my normal serums or the Glow Recipe Strawberry Smooth BHA + AHA Salicylic Acid Serum (this one doesn't work as well for me but I got about a quarter left). OH and the COSRX patches (like the mighty ones) 😂 I really like to get it under control ASAP @Mellmars1185 you?!

@jaaayp Thank you for sharing! Honestly, I am still learning. This past month I discovered Origins Super Spot Remover™ Acne Treatment Gel with Salicylic Acid 0.3 oz/ 10 mL and it worked wonders for me. I am open to anything that works. I tend to get hormonal, cystic acne.

[jaaayp]

OOOH let me add that to the list @Mellmars1185 oddly enough some Salicylic Acid works for me vs some others 🤔 or maybe my acne is worse some months vs other months. I'm the same! I've actually never had hormonal acne until last year so I was freaking out for a while. It just now seems normal/routine now sadly 😥

Isle of Paradise Self Tanning Drops are an easy way to keep a subtle glow in the dead of winter!☀️

[jaaayp]

Can't believe January is coming to an end!

Starting strong, I'm making it a goal to make this year the year to build self-care habits, including going to bed early (which in turn will help me do all my skincare on time and early before I'm too tired!)

Charlotte Tilbury Mini Airbrush Flawless Setting Spray 1.1 oz/ 34 ml ❤️

Tower 28 Beauty MakeWaves Lengthening + Volumizing Mascara Drift ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Biossance Vitamin C Rose Brightening and Firming Face Oil + Squalane 1.01 oz / 30 mL ❤️

Beekman 1802 Mega Milk ❤️❤️❤️

Aaaand of course, my guashua tool. Im interested in purchasing the face cupping tool. Does anyone have? If sooooo, yay or nay? 🤔

 

[faeriegirl]

I love the CT mini setting spray @jaaayp, it would take me forever to use a full size!

[jaaayp]

Right @faeriegirl ?! I like to really spray and marinate my face in setting spray and i feel like it barely makes a dent 😂😂😂

[ather]

@jaaayp  Oooo these are great products!! How often do you use your gua sha? I need to get better using mine. I have the cupping tools too but I don’t use them often enough to say if they work. I am sure they do if you use them. I could add that to my New Year’s resolution to use it more. 

[jaaayp]

So last year @ather I would say... 0x a week LOL this year I'm trying to use it 2x a week because I got a lympathic drainage massage for the first time and I saw a huge difference (I think or it's all mental). She said it would be helpful for me because I carry a lot of water on my face (?) I do bloat quite a bit so I'm sure it'll be helpful. Do you prefer one or the other (guashua or cupping tool)? 🤔

[ather]

@jaaayp  Ooooo I’ve wanted to get a lymphatic massage! I prefer the guashua but it could be that I am not good at using the cups. I like to do the cups on my stomach and legs. 

[jaaayp]

@ather stomach and legs?!?! Drainage there is a thing?!? I feel like I need to get educated on what else I can drain LOL
