Skin Care at 50: My Fav Products

0C121B9F A1AF 4488 AC9F 741DC10B52F1 scaled - Skin Care at 50: My Fav ProductsSince I turned 50, I have become more aware of the importance of taking care of your skin. Not just average skin care at 50 but healthy glowing skin. We all know that washing off makeup before going to bed is a necessity, if you don’t do it, your skin will suffer. However there is more to it than just washing your face, you have to exfoliate, moisturize and apply serums to stop the wrinkles. Yes, the wrinkles, those pesky lines that begin showing up as we gracefully age. But how do we know which products really work and which don’t?

I have oily skin so I need  products that will keep the oil away during the day. I am a product junkie, I’ve tried many, many cleansers, moisturizers and masks; I’ve finally found the perfect combination of products that works for me. Check out some of my favorite skin care products below that I use to achieve glowing skin.

Cleansers

LANCOME CREME RADIANCE

lancome creme radiance gentle cleansing creamy foam cleanser - Skin Care at 50: My Fav Products

This is by far my favorite cleanser, it’s a gentle cream-to-foam antioxidant that is gentle on the skin while cleansing and removing makeup. This product is part of my morning skin care routine.

NEUTROGENA OIL FREE ACNE WASH

neutrogena - Skin Care at 50: My Fav Products

This cleanser is part of my evening routine, it thoroughly deep cleanses my skin and removes all of the oil that has accumulated throughout the day. I don’t tend to get breakouts however this product does contain Salicylic Acid to get rid of acne.

TONER

THAYERS ROSE PETAL WITCH HAZEL FACIAL TONER

kqad5bjipnyc8eepy9kw - Skin Care at 50: My Fav Products

There are many benefits to using Witch Hazel, it is known to tighten pores, reduce inflammation, fight acne and improve skin tone. It is a definite in my skin care routine and I use it in the morning and in the evening. I have tried a few brands, but this is my favorite.

 

MOISTURIZER

L’OREAL PARIS COLLAGEN MOISTURE FILLER DAY/NIGHT CREAM

00071249152874 - Skin Care at 50: My Fav ProductsAs you age, the amount of collagen in your skin decreases which allows wrinkles to appear. This miracle product as I call it, helps to re-plump your skin, I mix it with my moisturizer in the morning and the evening. This product here is the bomb and is less than $10. In just 4 months of use, my skin has tightened tremendously, the lines around my eyes are almost gone. Whenever I replenish, I always buy at least 2 jars 🙂

BIENFAIT MULTI-VITAL SPF 30 LOTION – MOISTURIZER BY LANCOME

371425296s04263 - Skin Care at 50: My Fav ProductsThis product is a bit pricey at $50, but a little goes a long way especially since I mix it with the collagen moisture filler. This moisturizer contains SPF and is light and not oily. This is a 24 hour moisturizer so I am able to use it in the morning and the evening. It goes on very smooth and leaves my skin feeling soft.

 

MASK

OLAY OVERNIGHT GEL MASK

rsz olay overnight gel mask - Skin Care at 50: My Fav ProductsAnd finally, during the winter months I apply this mask once a week. It’s an oil-free mask that doesn’t clog pores and the best part is that you apply this mask every night. You are probably thinking is it messy and does it get on the pillow, and the answer it Not at all. It dries on the face similar to a moisturizer and when you wake up, you rinse it right off. I love the way my skin feels and glows after using this mask.

One of my goals for this year was to learn how to One of my goals for this year was to learn how to do Reels and participate in 4 IG Lives.

With a little encouragement from family and friends I completed both of these goals in just 1 month.🙌🏾

I committed to stretching myself and stepping outside of my comfort zone and I’m not stopping.

This weekend I’ll be speaking @PinnersConf
here in Atlanta. I’ll be sharing tips on embracing your midlife journey. This wasn’t on my radar at the beginning of the year, I am truly living in the moment and enjoying the process. 

If you are in the area this Saturday at 5:30pm, stop by. I’d love to meet you.  Details are in my bio.

I remember being teased about my height in middle I remember being teased about my height in middle school. For years I was the tallest person in my class. I towered over the boys, the girls and in kindergarten I was even taller than my teacher.😂😂. 

Needless to say, I was uncomfortable being tall for a long time. Finally in my junior year of high school, I began to embrace the beauty in being my height. I compared myself to a sunflower, standing tall and erect...flawless. 

Learning to love all of me was a process that I had to embrace. The Bible says that I am fearfully and wonderfully made! And that’s the truth that I walk in today. I stand 5’11”, taller than most people and I wouldn’t change it for the world. 

What’s one thing that you love about yourself?

Happy Monday! Hope y’all had a relaxing weekend Happy Monday!

Hope y’all had a relaxing weekend. I got a chance to step away for some much needed me time.

Constantly moving and meeting deadlines can be exhausting to your mind and body. Knowing when to shut down is important as I am able to refocus and sometimes recalibrate. Taking this quiet time every few months enables me to pour back into myself so that I am able to walk more confidently in my purpose. This is my self-care. 

So, how was your weekend? Did you do anything for yourself?

Menopause can bring many challenges including issu Menopause can bring many challenges including issues with skin. 

Recently I committed to focusing on a skincare regimen that included my entire body. My goal is to keep my skin supple and hydrated, especially as we approach the upcoming summer months.

I have partnered with @mywomaness to share their collection of modern menopause products, offering solutions from head to toe (& everything in between).

Gone are the days of being silent about midlife and menopause. We are breaking constraints and celebrating the changes in our lives. @womaness knows exactly what we are experiencing. Their products are made for women, by women - everything is clean, safe, proven, & effective.  And they provide relief to embrace menopause and the midlife journey.

One of my favorite products is the “Let’s Neck” Neck and Décolleté Serum. This serum leaves my neck feeling pampered as the applicator gently glides and massages my skin. It is a must have!

When I travel I like to be comfortable and still l When I travel I like to be comfortable and still look stylish. Even if I’m just going for a quick weekend getaway. Covid has changed things up, masks are the norm. I’ll likely keep wearing one even when it’s no longer required. 

We’ve been cooped up for more than a year and  now it’s time to break out. Weekend getaways are the perfect way to relax, reflect and meditate and this weekend I was able to do all of that. 

A change of scenery is definitely good for the soul. Along with good food and conversation, I am refreshed. 

Are you ready to travel again? Where’s the first place that you’ll go?

Midi skirts are so versatile and dressing them up Midi skirts are so versatile and dressing  them up is always fun. This is my Bold and AGELESS look. 

Denim goes with everything and a white tee with pumps brings it all together. 

Taking a photo in the middle of the street was a first for me and my photographer. We are kicking Fear in the butt!

Who says you can’t be over 50 and wear a mini dr Who says you can’t be over 50 and wear a mini dress? 🤎

Floral dresses are one of my favorites to wear. They are a staple in my spring wardrobe. The bright colors and flowers in this dress are soft and delicate...they bring out the sassy in me!

There are so many made up rules as to when you should wear certain things. At this age, I say who cares! Wear whatever makes you feel happy, sexy and confident. 

How confident are you to wear what makes you feel happy?

What are some of your skin care secrets? I’ll What are some of your skin care secrets?

 I’ll go first!

I recently purchased a natural, anti-aging body moisturizer. It is full of oils and vitamins to keep my skin hydrated. 

Our skin is the largest organ and like every other organ it needs water to stay soft and supple. 

Dry skin can emphasize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles; which is why it’s important to use a hydrating formula. Yes, we can get wrinkles all over our body!🤦🏾

I’ve always used lotion on my body, but never considered the importance of protecting it against the inevitable aging. 

This is imperative to maintaining youthful looking, firm skin all over. 

This lotion is very light, extremely moisturizing and absorbs quickly into my skin. I apply it in the morning and evening after bathing and I absolutely love it!🤎

So tell me, what’s one of your skin care secrets?

Have you ever gotten your groceries delivered? Or do you enjoy getting out to do your shopping?
