KG’s Favourite Cleansers

Although it may seem obvious to most it’s important that I reiterate the importance of cleansing your skin. In my opinion it is the most important step in any skincare routine and should be done morning and night. It’s the first step and therefore if you skip it, or don’t actually cleanse properly you are setting off the next steps. If your skin isn’t properly cleansed, your serums will not penetrate as deeply or effectively. In the morning I cleanse with a wash off cleanser and at night I oil or balm cleanse first, and then wash with my regular wash off cleanser. There are different cleansers for different skin types and skin concerns, most of which I have dealt with, so I have made a list of my must haves below.

Haircare

Why KG Loves Keratin Treatment

If you knew me before virtually meeting me on Instagram, you know that my curls were REAL. I know it may be hard to believe, but once I had curls that could not be tamed without hours of work, no matter how hard I tried…until I discovered keratin treatments. I never thought I would be able to go in an ocean or pool or even take a shower and still be able to have manageable (straight- ish) hair without needing to get a blow dry done in a salon. It now takes me about a quarter of the time that it used to, to style my hair and I cannot thank the hairGods enough.

Skincare

KG’s Steps of Skincare

Newsflash: I am a self-proclaimed skincare junkie. Anyone who knows me in real life or follows me can vouch, I am one with my skin. How can I preach the importance of skincare, without teaching the basics, which is why I am going to break down my top 6 steps. Knowing the proper steps and order of the process to use your products, is almost more important than the products themselves. We spend so much of our hard earned money of these fancy, skin changing products but if we aren’t using them properly then what’s the point?! ????????‍ An easy way to think of the correct order is by going from lightest weight to heaviest. I can’t think of a better way to kick off this beauty section, can you?

Makeup

KG’s Fave Foundations

I was never really a foundation lover or user in my 20s but as I have gotten more into makeup sometimes it’s just really nice to have your skin look like a doll. Who doesn’t want flawless skin? Right? I have literally tried all of the “holy grail” foundations out there and have compiled my list of faves. Keep in mind: I don’t like the full coverage, cakey, matte look, I go for more of a radiant, hydrated, real skin look. If that’s your vibe this post is for you!

Scents

KG’s Amber Oil Scent

I smell really good… Seriously! I’m not trying to be narsistic, but it’s just a FACT! I have been wearing the same scent for over ten years and I truly believe it will never change. If I have been somewhere, you can tell, this scent, for those who know me, is synonymous to me. People will call me hours after I have left somewhere telling me they knew I was there because they smelt me… Sounds creepy, but it is just the truth.

Tan

How KG Get’s The Perfect Spray Tan… EVERY TIME

If you guys have been following me for a while you probably already know I kinda can’t live without my weekly spray tan. Doesn’t matter the season, I like to have an even glow all year round, no harmful rays included. Spray tan has a bit of a bad rep for being orange, smelly and transferring onto clothing but times have changed and there are great solutions out there for very natural, not so smelly tans. This post isn’t about the actually spray tan because let’s face it… You pay someone to do that. This post is about your role in getting the perfect tan… through EXFOLIATING your bod to ensure your tan is flawless…. Every. Single. Time.
