With many new products on rotation this season, I began to think about some of my most underrated products that have completely transformed my skin.
#1 Clay masks: The aztec clay mask works well at de-clogging your pores and removing dirt and impurities. It acts like a vacuum by lifting dirt from your skin. 100% natural calcium bentonite clay can be mixed into a nice thick consistency and applied to clean skin.
Mixing Aztec Clay Mask and Apple Cider
Mixing about 1 tbs of the clay mask with organic apple cider vinegar is meant to provide better results and clean the skin deeper. Apply the mask on the face for 10-15 minutes or as preferred, then wash the mask off once the time is done or the mask has completely dried.
Benefits of Aztec Clay Mask

- Helps with excessively oily skin
- Natural exfoliator
- Helps with dark spots
- Cleans and refreshes skin
- Deep pore cleansing
#2 Sunscreen: Always wearing sunblock if you’re going out (even if its a rainy day). Premature skin aging comes primarily from the sun, so protection is key, when maintain good skin. Wearing SPF on summer days is a must, but no one really talks about how important it is to wear it everyday. Not only sunny days, but cloudy days and raining days. The sun rays are still there, even if you might not see them.
#3 Exfoliating toner: Using an exfoliating toner has transformed my skin. The skin ingredient that gave me flawless, poreless skin is glycolic acid. Glycolic acid has amazing skin benefits and products like Pixi Glow Tonic and Drunk Elephant T.L.C. Framboos Glycolic Night Serum with glycolic acid are game changers and it have done amazing things to my skin. Glycolic acid skin benefits are many, it provides the best exfoliation for the skin and is great for acne scars. It removes the layer of dead cells from your skin. I’ve been using this ingredient and my skin has appeared brighter, even toned and fresher. This ingredient helps with treating acne and other scars, skin discoloration and even helps keep your skin looking younger by treating signs of aging.
#4 Avoiding dairy products: I’ve stop consuming dairy products all together. Every once in a while I’ll have a little cheese but not often. Once I stopped consuming dairy my face cleared up completely. Diet and eating healthy has a huge impact on skin appearance and aging.
#5 Rosehip oil: Rosehip oil comes from the seeds of rose bushes, its oils are full of vitamins, antioxidants and fatty acids. Rosehip oil has essential fatty acids. These acids help repair damaged skin. The oil is perfect for reducing the appearance of dark spots, scars, burns and wrinkles. The vitamin A combined with the fatty acids is perfect for improving your overall skin tone. I love using this oil at night before bed. I apply it to a completely clean face right before bed and I wake up with gorgeous glowy skin.
