For today’s post I decided to talk about skin care and some of the products I’ve used to reduce redness. Facial redness for the past couple months has been my primary skin concern and it’s something I find quite annoying. I’ve been able to keep in under control with the products in this post, and as long as I stick to my daily skincare routine, my skin seems to stay happy. But let’s be honest, there are always those nights where we don’t feel like makeup removing, cleansing, exfoliating, prepping, and priming, etc. etc. etc. It happens, and when it does, I’ve got a couple go-to products I reach for. Here is what I use and why I love them:

3. Pixi by Petra Hydrating Milky Mist. Claims to: “Moisturize, prep and hydrate.” This is the newest product in my collection and I’ve been loving it! I use every morning before applying my makeup so my skin is nice and hydrated. It isn’t designed as a “redness reducing” product, but the more hydrated and moisturized I keep my skin, the more likely it is to stay calm. This mist also has a faint, but very pleasant scent!

I hope each and every one of you had an awesome weekend! Justin and I definitely made the most of some much needed relaxation time. The weather here in Northern California is pretty dreary and the “rainy season” is coming our way, so it’s a good time to enjoy indoor activities like movies and reading. Justin is a huge Harry Potter fan and I’ve never read the series, so I just started book #1 on Saturday. I figure once I finish them we can go to Harry Potter World, and October is the perfect month to read them!
