Back-to-school skincare products for radiant skin

August 23, 2016

*This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone. #MajorBeauty #CollectiveBias.

This post is sponsored by NEUTROGENA, CLEAN & CLEAR and AVEENO. I only recommend products I use personally and believe my followers will also enjoy! Some of the products mentioned were provided by NEUTROGENA, CLEAN & CLEAR and AVEENO for this review.

Yay back to school season! I no longer go to school, but when I did, I actually enjoyed it. I loved school all the way through college and back-to-school season was my favorite. So exciting to see friends again, meet new teachers, and receive new schedule. And of course getting yourself ready is just as important. I’d love to show you today my favorite products to have radiant skin so you look your best version on your first day back to school. If you’re not in school anymore like me, no worries, it’s always okay to indulge on products that brightens your beautiful face.

BackToSchoolSkincareToLookRadiant-1

I got all of these products at my local Target store. You can find them at the store’s Beauty section.

1. Clean & Clear morning burst facial cleanser

When I was in high school, I remember discovering this Morning Burst Facial Cleanser from Clean & Clear and it was seriously my favorite! For a couple reasons: the formula with Vitamin C and Ginseng is designed to energize skin. It has a fresh and yummy citrus fragrance to awaken the senses for an exciting start to the day. It is oil-free and has bursting beads to help clean your skin very well. I also love that after rinsing, it gives the best clean feeling.

Put a little bit (I use dime size) on your wet hand, rub them together to foam it up, and gently massage onto your face and neck. Then rinse thoroughly with water. Ah, I just love the clean feeling and the fresh scent!

2. Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Stress Control Toner

After you cleanse your face well, you need a toner to balance the pH level. Facial cleansers will always raise your skin’s pH level, due to the alkaline nature of soap. So you need to add toner to your cleansing routine if you don’t already. This toner by Neutrogena is oil-free, and it smells so good. It’s formulated to treat acne even before it emerges, and delivers a unique formula of skin-soothers, such as green tea and cucumber extracts to reduce redness and irritation.

Pour some into the palm of your hand and use fingers from the other hand to grab some product and lightly dab it on your face. You can also use cotton pads to apply the toner: pour some toner into the cotton pad and then wipe the pad on your skin. I like using my fingers, because I do not want to waste any product!

3. Aveeno positively radiant daily moisturizer with sunscreen

The next favorite product of mine is this Aveeno positively radiant daily moisturizer with SPF 30 to make you glow radiantly. It’s clinically proven to even skin tone and texture while reflecting light to visibly smooth imperfections. I also love that it has SPF 30 to help prevent premature aging caused by the sun.

I apply it onto my fingertips first, rub them together and then dab gently onto my face. Avoid pulling and tucking when applying moisturizer!

Now you’re glowing radiantly, and ready for your first day at school!

4. Clean & Clear oil absorbing sheets

Now that you’re at school, we need to also make sure you still look great throughout the day. But don’t you hate that 2pm feeling when your face feels super greasy? Pick up this convenient pack of oil absorbing sheets and have it ready in your backpack. It’s so quick and easy to just pull one out and dab on your T-zone until you feel refreshed. These sheets are smooth, flexible and they change color with use so you can actually see them working.

    I love drugstore brand products like these. They have withstood the test of time and have been apart of our lives since forever. They keep making their products better and better and can fully compete with department store brands. Thanks for sharing these products and I will definitely give them a try the next time I am at Target! xoxo, Christine

✨ Wood signs for my little Prince baby shower ✨:

- I ordered custom adhesive vinyl decals to be printed for large dimensions (around 3-5 ft tall). 
- Cut the shapes out, and trace the shapes on wood boards (I used 1/4” thick plywood).
- I put painter tape around the traced line to reduce wood chipping when cutting with a saw later.
- Cut the shapes on the wood boards with a jig saw.
- Brad nail leftover woods on the back to make a stand for the signs (some small pieces of 2x4 worked well). 
- Apply the adhesive back of the art decals onto the wood signs.
- Enjoy! 🩵✨🎠

☺️ What I’d do different if I do this again: 
1. The horse and carriage are ok, but I’d loved the castle to be taller.
2. Use foam boards instead of wood for lighter weight. Wood would be great if these signs will be outside where it might be windy, but for indoors event, I would do foam.

My birth story 🤰🏻: 
I went to bed at 39w3d with contractions 10 minutes apart, but had thought they were faux labor contractions (because I had Braxton Hicks and prodromal contractions most of pregnancy) so I didn’t think much of it. I woke up at 2am and called my doctor at 4am since contractions were 7 min apart (still thinking they were not real 😂). Good thing she told me to come in. I debated if I should put makeup on and decided to not - wise decision! During the car ride, 7 min apart became 5 min apart. When we arrived at hospital, I was 6cm dilated. I asked for epidural and by the time I got one, I was 8cm dilated. I started pushing shortly after, and baby came after 20 minutes of pushing.
