Slip Sleep Mask

A while back, if you told me I needed a silk sleep mask, it would of been on the bottom of my list of things to purchase. Now, I am a firm believer in sleeping with silk. My silk sleep mask and silk pillowcases are not only comfy and cool, but neccessary to the health of my skin and hair.

For a while now, I have been getting eyelash extensions. I had purchased a contour sleep mask not made of silk to protect my lashes. I found the mask to be itchy and it felt rough on my skin. After learning, how silk would absorb less of my skincare products and help my skin retain its moisture, I began searching for a silk one.

After lots of research, I decided to purchase the Slip silk contour sleep mask. The contour allows the mask to not touch my eyes or lashes and the silk is so soft I hardly feel like I have anything on. The strap is comfortable and has enough give that it doesn’t crease my hair.

The sleep mask is pure silk inside and out, some are not. The patented slipsilk is made of the highest (6A) long fiber mulberry silk. The sleep mask has a thickness of 22 momme. The higher the momme, the better.

I also love that Slip uses non toxic dyes. The sleep masks come in an array of beautiful colors. I purchased the violet moon sleep mask that was on sale in a Beauty Sleep over set. The set included, 1 large moonflower slipsilk scrunchie and 1 black slipsilk skinny scrunchie along with the violet moon sleep mask. This was a limited edition set, but I was more than happy to use the slipsilk scrunchies on my long hair.

Ladies and gents, I do not ever see myself going back to a regular sleep mask. You cannot beat a high quality silk sleep mask. Invest in yourself and selfcare. You wont regret it.

Dr. Teal’s Shea Sugar Scrub

I was kindly gifted the Dr. Teal’s Shea Sugar Scrub from Influenster and Dr. Teals. This is an exfoliating sugar scrub. Exfoliating your skin sloughs away any of your extra skin cells that are left over after new ones are regenerated on a daily basis as skin cells renew. This keeps our skin brighter and gives it that glow. Exfoliation can also stimulate collagen production which can keep the skin looking younger and firmer.

Therefore, if you didn’t know before, these are a few of the benefits of exfoliation. So, now you can understand why I was excited fo try the Dr. Teals Shea Sugar Scrub. Exfoliating your skin a few times a week is a great habit. I would reccomend doing so once per week, working your way up.

The scrub felt great on my skin. I applied the scrub gently in circular motions massaging into my skin in a warm bath. The scrub is thick and gritty of course. However, it is not a dry scrub or watery. It lathers on nicely. The scent was very pleasant. After rinsing and slathering on some Dr. Teals collagen lotion, my skin feels amazing.

Dior Capture Totale Super Potent Eye Serum

Dior Capture Totale Super Potent Eye Serum does what it says, but I speak on behalf of someone without visible signs of aging around my eyes. I am of the mindset that you should take preventative measures before the signs of aging appear to minimize the damage.

One way to do so, is to keep your skin hydrated and replenished on a cellular level. The Dior Capture Totale Super Potent Eye Serum uses Biocellular Longoza technology which reenergizes the skin. After using this product, my skin around my eyes was brighter, firmer, and more supple. There is a rye extract in the formula that is supposed to visibly tone and firm the skin.

One of my favorite skin care ingredients is in this eye serum, Hyaluronic acid, which will provide your skin with just the right amount of hydration. I was initially gifted this several months ago from Influenster and Dior and now use daily.

This eye serum, by Dior is now apart of my daily skincare arsenal to fight those signs of aging. It will cost around $80, but a little bit goes a long way. One bottle can last you at least a few months. I definitely recommend adding this product to your skin care routine.
