On my last IG live Q&A, a lot of you told me that you’ve been experiencing really dry skin or have rosacea, redness, and sensitive skin so I’ve been doing my research and I found two products from @skinfixinc that I think you guys will love
⠀
➀ Barrier+ Foaming Cleanser
➁ Redness Recovery+ Antioxidant Redness Mask
⠀
I know it can be really hard to find products that are effective and also have clean ingredients, but I did some digging and found these two products (which are both formulated for rosacea-prone / sensitive skin andddd are 98% or more naturally derived 🙌🏻) and they’re amazing!
⠀
The Barrier+ Foaming Cleanser is a super hydrating, creamy foaming oil cleanser. I usually always go for an oil-based cleanser as my first step at night since it’s the best at completely removing all of my makeup and any dirt/oil without stripping away my essential oils. You’ll love this one because it’s clinically proven to increase hydration, improve smoothness, and reduce blotchiness, flakiness, and redness 🖤
⠀
The Redness Recovery+ Antioxidant Redness Mask is an overnight gel that was actually formulated specifically for rosacea-prone skin. This differs from the cleanser thats made for all skin types - this mask was SPECIFICALLY made for people with rosacea which is 💯 😊
⠀
If you were one of my followers who requested for me to find products for dry, rosacea-prone and sensitive skin raise your hand in the comments by leaving a “🙋🏻‍♀️” OR if you have any other requests leave that in the comments!
⠀ & if you want to try these @skinfixinc products for yourself, click the link in my bio or stories or you can also find these products at your nearest Sephora :)

I’ve been having such a nice week with my mom in town. From waking up early to have coffee outside to getting mani pedis and my fridge being PACKED full ☺️ (is it me or does every Persian parent’s fridge look the same? Super full with the most amount of fruit, cucumbers, a whole watermelon, head of cauliflower, bread, etc) 🍉
⠀
If i have been a tad less engaged on social now you know why! That and my exhaustion from this month of travel 🤪 sharing what i eat in a day today on stories. I’ve been intermittent fasting so you won’t see any food until like 11/12! (Doing it for the longevity benefits - not weight loss)

What’s your biggest skincare question/concern? Tell me below 👇🏻 & I’m going to answer the FIRST 100 comments in detail 😊
⠀
One question I get asked ALL the time is: how to get a brighter complexion ✨ Here’s the thing, whether you have clear skin or not, bright skin is actually pretty tricky to get and you have to know the right foods to eat, products to use, and lifestyle hacks to get them. Here’s what I’ve found to work best - based on both scientific data & my personal experience:
⠀
1. 🍋 Drink LOTS of lemon water: lemon is filled with vitamin c, it’s alkaline, and it’s overall great for your skin. Ingesting it will help you glow from within, and actually, you can even apply lemon juice topically onto your skin (i like it as spot treatment on specific dark spots. Under eyes / cheeks for me). It’s natural bleaching properties can really help lighten & brighten things up!
⠀
2. 🧖🏼‍♀️ Use the right products: I’ve been using @lorealskins’ Revitalift Derm Intensives 10% vitamin C serum and the #1 thing that stood out to me was that it’s POTENT. It has 10% pure vitamin C. Studies on this product specifically showed that skin can get brighter/look more youthful after 1 week, and get tighter after 2 weeks! I like that data 😍
⠀
3. 🙅🏻‍♀️ Reduce your intake of sugar, dairy, & alcohol: If you’re really trying to achieve brighter skin, it’s very important to think about what you’re putting into your body. Things like sugar, dairy, and alcohol all contribute to dull skin (& usually acne), so if you’re serious about your skin, I recommend cutting these 3 things OUT! 👋🏼
⠀
I talk more about other ways to get a brighter complexion in one of my new YT videos but if you have a different skincare question or concern comment below (asap so i get to your question!) & I’ll give you a full answer/assessment :)

What are you guys up to today? Tell me in the comments (working / home / day off)?
⠀
This work trip to NYC is definitely a manifestation come to life... traveling for work in general is. But i will say, the last 4 weeks has been intense with travel and a reminder to not over-do it and wear myself down. My # 1 priority always is my health and happiness ❤️ So I’m really looking forward to catching up on rest next week and chilling in LA 🙂

Let’s talk about common workout mistakes! If any of these mistakes resonate with you LMK in the comments & I’ll give you my best advice :)
⠀
1 🥑 Not eating enough food! ➡️ Food is fuel- if you’re working out 3-5 days a week but only eating a small amount of food, your body is going to hold on to whatever you eat and store it as fat. Instead, try nourishing your body with fresh food (think: plant-based protein, vegetables, healthy fats, etc).
⠀
2😴 Lack of sleep: sleep is VITAL to your overall health and wellbeing (helps you rejuvenate, balances your hormones, gives your body time to digest, helps with muscle recovery & more)!
⠀
3 ⏰ Not making enough time for yourself: The way I find balance is by using my Amazon Echo Look device to help me schedule my workouts, time block my days, and take my pics/videos so that I still always have good content to share😊🖤
⠀
4 💁🏻‍♀️ Lack of confidence: Confidence is key, and it can be as simple as putting on a chic workout set- like the one I’m wearing from @underarmour :) a cute/fitted outfit can make all the difference & can even help motivate you when you’re at the gym💕
⠀
Ok - Use whatever emoji fits with your experience & I’ll give you all my tips + tricks! Also, Under Armour and Amazon are offering a *free* Echo Look device when you purchase $75 on a selection of Under Armour items- go to http://www.amazon.com/underarmourwomen to show now or click the link in my bio / my stories ☺️

Actually obsessed with this new moisturizer by @caudalie. It’s called the “SOS intense moisturizing cream” and that’s exactly what it is... but not in a heavy way. It’s like this smooth fluffy silky cloud that protects and hydrates your skin but doesn’t clog your pores. Here’s how it works ⬇️
⠀
It uses resveratrol + micro hyaluronic acid to not only hydrate, but also induce the production of our own natural hyaluronic acid producing cells. So basically.. it’s a LOT of hydration for the skin - which is 😍 talk about #saveyourskin 🙌🏼 You can find it at @sephora
⠀
If you want to try it, leave a “🙋🏻‍♀️” below. If you already have a moisturizer you’re in love with, what is it? Give me the deets 👀 @mycaudalie
