Makeup Out, Skin Is In

As the days are becoming brighter and longer I am formulating my glowy, goddess, hydrated, skin care regimen for spring/summer! I’m so excited. I live in the south so….. need I say more. Minimal makeup is my goal especially for day. I’m gonna opt for a tinted moisturizer instead of the whole full face contour.

First order of business is water, water, water. That’s super important as well as eating healthier and maybe incorporating some beauty boosting vitamins like vitamin e, biotin, or evening primrose. I’m heavy on cocoa butter and shea butter for moisture and softness. Picked up some Tumeric soap as well to clear hyperpigmentation on face and body.

Buttah Skincare has an amazing line of products that actually work BUT, I’m a baddie on a budget this year so I’m looking for more cost effective ways to achieve my goal. 📣Calling all women of color. What are some of your favorite warm weather skincare products.

2025/3/24 Edited to

... Read moreAs we transition into the warmer months, taking care of your skin becomes paramount. The focus shifts towards achieving that radiant glow while keeping makeup minimal. For women of color, the right skincare products can play a crucial role in maintaining healthy skin. Staying hydrated is essential, and incorporating foods rich in vitamins such as Vitamin E, Biotin, and even Evening Primrose can bolster your skin's health from within. Utilizing natural moisturizing agents like cocoa butter and shea butter helps lock in moisture, especially in hotter climates. Moreover, products infused with turmeric are known for their anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, making them excellent choices for tackling hyperpigmentation, which can be a concern. Budget-friendly skincare options can easily take the spotlight without compromising on quality. Brands like Buttah Skincare offer effective products, but exploring drugstore alternatives can also yield fantastic results. Engaging with a community to share favorite products can enhance your skincare regimen, making it versatile and effective for various skin types. As you explore your skincare routine, don’t forget to adjust your beauty goals according to the weather and your skin’s needs. The dialogue among women of color is vital, as sharing tips and product recommendations not only empowers but fosters a supportive environment where everyone thrives. Make the most of your warmer months with a conscious approach to skincare and beauty!
