Happy Tuesday y’all and welcome back to NYC! Thanks for baring with me while I’ve adapted back to life in the city. The first two weeks were hectic to say the least but now it’s time to find a rhythm again and get back into the swing of things. I shared on stories about how different things in my routine have been compared to Houston based on weather/climate, water type in my building, etc., but product have been reacting SO differently compared to how they reacted in Houston.

One topic I wanted to touch on today is how STRESSED my skin has been. Since being back it has gone from being dull and flakey to having more breakouts than ever (obviously maskne), but these breakouts are under the skin and hard to get rid of. I’ve been working to find more of a routine that combats everything surrounding stressed skin and these are some of the products I’ve been using to get my skin back on track.

1. TULA So Smooth Resurfacing & Brightening Fruit Enzyme Mask. A newer mask that works to brighten and exfoliate skin. I loved how this felt and how light of a mask it was! You can use code KAYLEIGHSKLOSET for 15% off Tula’s site.

2. Skin Ceuticals Blemish + Age Defense. This was one of my go-to’s back in the day when I had acne growing up, but it really does get rid of everything fast. It does dry out your skin pretty drastically, so it’s best to pair with a good moisturizer.

3. Summer Fridays Jet Lag Mask. This has been helping do the overnight work for me, especially when it comes to having dryer skin from using harsher products.

4. TULA Star Bright Nourishing & Brightening Hydrogel Mask. One of my all time favorite hydrating masks with a cooling effect. This instantly hydrates and feels so nice on the face!

5. Tatcha Kissu Lip Mask. Since I’ve been dehydrated, my lips have been dry AF. This is my top lip mask right now and TRUST ME I have a ton.
