Sunday Riley Luna Sleeping Night Oil Review

If there is one thing to invest your money in when it comes to your beauty purchases, it’s your skincare routine. No matter how much coverage your foundation has or how much your primer fills in your pores, makeup applies seamlessly on a clear canvas.  Thanks to Claire Marshall on YouTube, we have discovered a new skincare product that has made it on the top shelf: The Sunday Riley Luna Sleeping Night Oil.

Before we talk about the results, here is an overview of what the product is, what it promises to do for your skin, and the suggested usage:

What it is:
A next-generation retinoid oil to reduce pore size, improve appearance of damaged skin, and help fight wrinkles.

What it is formulated to do:
With an advance retinol complex, Luna helps reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles while simultaneously correcting damage caused by the sun, time, and pollution. Use this oil before bed to notice firmer, clearer skin by morning. Trans-retinol ester fights the look of fine lines, wrinkles, and loss of skin elasticity while an essential oil complex calms and soothes skin. Cold pressed avocado, chia, and Concord grape seed oils sink into skin for quick absorption of actives while boosting radiance.

What else you need to know:
This product is made with organic, cold pressed oils. Advanced trans-retinoic acid ester is mixed with potent botanicals for the ultimate transformational, sleeping night oil. This item is formulated for ALL skin types including, dry, oily, and combination. It does have a blue tint, but the color fades away as soon as you massage the product into your skin.

Suggested Usage:
Apply to at night to clean, dry face.

What stood out the most was that the product promised that you would see overnight results. That seems a bit promising, but it delivered. In the morning, I noticed my skin was much more plumped and moisturized. It was not until I applied my CC cream, with no pore-filling primer, where I noticed how much better my pores & overall skin complexion looked.  I received a sample of Luna and only after one week of use, I now own the full bottle. This sleeping oil has a steep price of $105, but it only takes 3-4 drops to cover your entire face and neck, which will basically guarantee a long usage. You may experience mild peeling since this product does contain retinol, but a good exfoliating session with your Clarisonic will do the trick. It’s essential to moisturize your face, including you oily skin girls and boys, and the Luna Sleeping Oil does it all in one bottle.

You can purchase the Sunday Riley Luna Sleeping Oil at Sephora.

Get Your Skin Clean!

What's one thing we all have in common regardless of our skin color or type?

 The need to keep our skin CLEAN and fresh.
While some people need to keep 

their skin extra clean to prevent acne, others still have to give it a wash every

 once in a while. It is important to identify your skin as combination, acne-prone, normal, sensitive, or oily before choosing and trying out the right cleanser. Read the ingredients of the product to know what you are working with. So with all of that being said, we know that there are a few 

hyped up products out there in the market that everyone claims to be their 

HOLY GRAIL (insert Justin Timberlake voice here). Well here's some of ours:

Cleansers:

1. Philosophy Purity Made Simply: This cleanser is an overall good cleanser for several different types of skin. It cleans out dirt, oil, and makeup while also hydrating and toning the skin. We've been using this product for years and have enjoyed the results it provides. 

A lot of make up artists actually clean their brushes with this product!

Buy it here : ranges from $10.00-42.00

                                                   
                                                     2. Cetaphil: Cetaphil has great cleansers, but our favorite

is the gentle skin cleanser. It is great for anyone that has sensitive
skin and does an amazing job with hydrating. This non-irritating cleanser works with clear skin, acne-pro skin, and mature skin. Very versatile, gentle, and affordable!

3. Good ol' soap and water:

For some people simply washing the face with soap and hands is good enough. 

...But that's not the case for everyone. Those who need a little extra help on a day to day basis to keep their skin clean can try the Clarisonic devices. We were hesitant at first to give it a try since it is a little pricy and there are other similar products out there that seem to do the same job. But, with that being said, we're quite impressed with the results.

What the Clarisonic aims to do: deeply cleanse skin leaving smooth, gentle skin

We really like the Clarisonic device because it cleans the face very well, leaves it smoother, and exfoliates at the same time. It's worth a try but if you don't want to spend as much on a device you can definitely find other similar products out there.

Ranges form $99-$265
