"A product I've been loving recently for a good glow is the L'Oreal Lumi Glotion. It's a bronzing enhancer that gives you an instant glow layer, a cosmetic glow enhancer that uses light diffusing particles to create the appearance of radiant skin, not a treatment. For melanin rich skin the key is shade selection, I'm using shade 904 Deep Glow and it comes in multiple shades. I used it on my arms and my collarbones and it is popping. The wrong shade will give you a gray, ashy cast that nobody likes, so getting the right shade plays a huge part in getting that lift, warmth from within glow. I layer it over the places where I applied my body oil, just a selective application that looks more natural and avoids that coated shimmer look."

"For ingrown hairs I really love salicylic acid BHAs, and Eucerin has a great one. It's an oil-soluble BHA that gets into the follicle and clears the blockage that causes hair to grow sideways. A body wash or leave-in with salicylic acid, used consistently in problem areas, reduces both the occurrence of ingrown hairs and the dark marks they leave behind."

"I'm starting off strong with The Ordinary 7% Glycolic Acid Toning Solution. This chemical exfoliant, if I could drink it, I would. It's everyone's favorite for a reason, and on the body it works wonders. The pH The Ordinary formulates it at is amazing for the body because that 7% is optimal for your body to handle. Glycolic acid helps speed up cell turnover, fading hyperpigmentation, smoothing KP texture, and brightening overall. Since adding this to my routine it has been night and day because nothing else was working. For KP specifically, chemical exfoliation is fundamentally more effective than physically scrubbing, because KP is caused by a buildup of keratin around hair follicles and glycolic acid dissolves that buildup. I apply it to dry skin after showering, let it absorb, and don't rinse it off. I honestly can't say enough good things about the Ordinary Glycolic Acid. It has made such a huge difference in my overall skin."
