Blackish Star and multiple NAACP Image Award recipient Marsai Martin recently shared her skincare routine on her YouTube Channel which includes (spoiler alert) one of my must haves Kreyol Essence Haitian Black Castor Oil.
How amazing to see her start on her skincare at such a young age. That being said, there's always room for improvement so I thought I'd give some 'cool aunt' advice with greener & cleaner skincare alternatives.
Here's a breakdown as Marsai's routine ...
Makeup removal with wipes, cleanser + cleansing oil. She gets an A+ for this step, makeup removal is SO IMPORTANT! My suggestions is to break this step into two parts:
For those who wear makeup, I highly recommend this double-cleansing method. Cleansing oils break down makeup making it easier to wipe off while the cleanser gets rid of any leftover impurities.
Exfoliation; my only tip is to always go gently with a face scrub. I'd suggest Marsai go a little greener (literally) with Teami's melt on your skin Green Tea Facial Scrub.
Always, always, always moisturize!!! There are a few options here, Jacq's Organics Moisturizer.
In a few more years, I'd suggest using an oil or serum first; such as Kreyol Essence Moringa Oil.
Haitian Black Castor Oil on lashes and eyebrows - no changes required here!!! Great choice!!!
Hope you enjoyed these greener alternatives. Stay tuned for a big launch coming soon, you may have noticed a few new products in this blog.
