Today I’m dishing on the skincare tools that I’m obsessed with — I’ve been a skincare snob for over a decade. Ever since I got off birth control and my skin freaked out… taking care of my skin has become one of my top life priorities. And, having a Colombian mother who reminded me to wear sunscreen since age 8 helped a lot, too.
I’ve done pretty much every skin treatment you can think of, and I have a vast collection of skincare devices… some that were worth the money, others not so much.
Here are the skincare tools that made the cut:
• A good quality jade eye mask – one that de-puffs and cools
• MONAT’s facial bar massager – helps with product absorption and lymphatic drainage. Unfortunately, this was a limited time only release. You snooze, you lose.
• Gua sha – sculpts, lifts and drains lymph fluid. A MUST HAVE!
• A high frequency wand – zaps breakouts and kills bacteria. must use with a cheesecloth barrier tho! don’t use directly on skin.
• @poosh LED light shield – it has a red setting (for inflammation), blue setting (for acne), and amber setting (for discoloration).
• @mynuface is also something I’m currently experimenting with… stay tuned for a review.

Ok, next, I can’t talk skincare without mentioning my favorite product. It would be such a disservice to you!
I’m talking about the vegan, naturally based bakuchiol retinol alternative that is *finally* here. It’s packed with a potent blend of botanical actives to create a smoother complexion.
Prior to using this magic, I’d been using traditional retinols for yearsssss… it’s kind of my guilty pleasure because I know there can be really questionable ingredients that don’t really go with my holistic lifestyle. But the truth is, I’ve always loved the benefits. I’m not perfect, never claimed to be.
But now omg – I don’t have to question the ingredients in my retinol! because @monatofficial never stops showing off ????????. The Botanic Bakuchiol is a gentler alternative to traditional retinol. It has anti-inflammatory, and anti-bacterial properties, and has long been used in Ayurvedic and Chinese medicine.
It also:
✨helps to reduce the appearance of age spots
✨ improves skin tone and texture
✨ reduces wrinkles and fine lines
✨ non-irritating, works even for sensitive skin types
✨ provides 24 hour hydration
✨ safe for pregnant and breastfeeding mama’s
When I say I know my skincare products, trust me, I have done research on products for years. I have never been so excited for a skincare product launch before. ???????? Give it a try this month and see what I can do for your skin.
