Fresh And Light For Summer

Hello, 90s and sunshine! Summer is here - have you updated your skincare regimen? Tired of my winter routine, I made the switch to Saint Jane a few weeks ago. I've been staring over the counter at the beautiful floral packaging for a while and figured the warming weather was the perfect opportunity to try it out! Plus, I've been curious about CBD skincare and wanted to see what the hype was about.

The skincare industry has been raving about CBD and its healing properties, including anti-inflammatory and antioxidant benefits, soothing stressed skin, hydration, and calming redness. I picked three Saint Jane products that go well together to maximize benefits and get the full experience: Hydrating Petal Cream, Luxury Beauty Serum, and Sacred Sleep Overnight Repair Cream. Even though it's only been a couple of weeks, I've noticed a big difference!

Here's the new routine I've been trying:

Nightly Repair

I apply the Luxury Beauty Serum on a clean, dry face before bed. It smells amazing - like a combination of uplifting florals plus earthy sandalwood and rosehip oil, very balanced! The Serum is packed with nutrients to detoxify and helps address uneven textures and fine lines.

Afterward, I moisturize with Saint Jane Sacred Sleep Overnight, and it feels so luxurious! I've been very pleased with this cream. I love that it has CBD to calm and protect my skin and Retinol to fight aging. Definitely a new favorite!

Daytime Moisture & Primer

In the mornings, I begin with the Petal Cream. It's very lightweight and great for this time of year with the humidity, plus it looks great under makeup. It also has hyaluronic acid for more anti-aging benefits. I like to double up on the Luxury Beauty Serum and add some in the morning, too (it's that good!) The smell is truly amazing, plus it's a great primer for my Westman Atelier Vital Foundation.

Even though it's only been a couple of weeks, I've noticed a big difference! Since starting this new routine, my skin looks brighter, firmer, and more radiant! It feels plump, smooth, and hydrated, which makes my makeup look better.

The Saint Jane line is definitely elevated and bold, with the luxurious feel and a touch of CBD. Not ready to try CBD?
