How to get your at-home spa facial on with Reviva Labs {For All Skin types}

Last week I reviewed Reviva Labs Hawaiian Seaweed Facial Cleansing Milk.  Have you check out my review?  If you haven’t tried Reviva Labs products yet, what are you waiting on?  They’re amazing! The best part is that they are affordable (and cruelty-free)!

Twice a week, or whenever I have time, which is usually on a Sunday, I give myself at-home spa treatments.  These treatments include facials, manicures and pedicures.  Since using Reviva Labs skincare products, I have a new at-home spa facial regimen.  After a few weeks of doing this, my skin is softer, smoother, and brighter.  My skin looks healthier than ever.  A coworker even commented that “I have to speak to your husband because you look like you are getting too much sleep.  You look nice.”  Another coworker stated that I had “the glow”… the pregnancy glow; however, I am not at all pregnant .:lol:.

 

Here is how to use Reviva Labs products for an at-home spa facial:

1.  First, cleanse skin with the Hawaiian Seaweed Cleansing Milk.

2.  After rinsing off the cleanser, apply the Reviva Labs Pomegranate/Lactic Acid Exfoliant.  I love this exfoliant because it is gentle, and natural.  You get immediate results, too.

3.  Let the Exfoliant dry 3 to 4 minutes, then rub off with fingers.  Rinse off any extra debris with water or wet washcloth.

4.  Wait a few minutes, then apply the Reviva Labs Hawaiian Seaweed Face Mask in a medium to heavy coat and leave on for 20-30 minutes.  5.  Remove with a warm wet face cloth.  Your skin will already look brighter, fresher and feel softer.

6.  Apply your moisturizer, or  use the Reviva Labs Makeup Primer #202, which doesn’t only have to be used under makeup.  It can serve as a one-of-a-kind moisturizer.  It leaves the skin feeling soft as silk!  It works well as a makeup primer, too! Review will come soon.

On My Radar: IMAN Skin Tone Evener BB Creme SPF 15

BB Creme’s have been all of the rage in 2012, and FINALLY, there’s a shade range for the darker skinned girls like myself – the IMAN Skin Tone Evener BB Creme SPF 15.  I haven’t really engrossed myself into the BB Creme craze; however, I did purchase the Maybelline Dream Fresh BB 8-in-1 Beauty Balm Skin Perfector.  I purchased it in medium deep, which is too light.  The dark, is too dark.  I wound up just using the medium shade in the center of my face for a little highlight.  It also works as a decent under makeup base.

IMAN Skin Tone Evener BB Creme SPF 15
The IMAN Skin Tone Evener BB Crème SPF 15 is described as:

“…the ultimate “beauty balm”, skin care and color all in one. With a unique blend of Skin Tone Evener Complex, SPF, essential botanical extracts and multi vitamins, it evens out discoloration, hydrates and protects your complexion in one step. In a gorgeous range of six semi-sheer colors that compliment your complexion undetectably. With or with makeup, it’s the must-have product for all seasons, all ages, all skin types and skin tones.”

 

The IMAN Skin Tone Evener BB Creme SPF 15 comes in the following 5 shades:

Sand Light
Sand Medium
Clay Medium
Clay Medium Deep
Earth Medium
Earth Medium Deep

I’m probably going to pick up Clay Medium Deep for myself.

 

Cost: $20

These BB Cremes can be purchased at Drugstore.com, Walmart.com, Ulta.com, Walgreens.com & select Walgreens
