Colostrum Moisturizer For The Most Dewy Skin

This is so random but I had to do a post on it because.I.cannot.stop.using.this.moisturizer, you guys. I mean….

It’s my favorite moisturizer I’ve ever used…I think. It just does something to the skin that I’ve never seen before.

It was recommended to me by my favorite aesthetician in San Diego, Staci Christie. If you don’t know her you can meet her in this post– she’s a total skincare guru. Anyway, she was raving about this Epicuren Colostrum Luminous Glow Cream.

Colostrum Moisturizer For The Most Dewy Skin

First off, if you’re unfamiliar with colostrum it is, it’s a breast fluid produced by humans, cows & other mammals before breast milk is released. It’s very nutritious & contains high levels of antibodies, which are proteins that fight infections & bacteria. { via }

So it’s not the actual milk, but it’s so nutrient rich. It’s just PACKED with tissue repair factors & immunity benefits. Needless to say it really helps with the development of a baby. In fact, when I had Zaza, many professionals said that if you don’t breastfeed that’s fine, but try to give the baby your colostrum if you can.

So let’s get back to why I put this on my face every day. LOL.

My obsession with colostrum actually started before Staci recommended this cream to me. My night nurse told me to put it on my skin if I had rashes or cuts & so I was always intrigued.

The moisturizer I’ve been using is by Epicuren & it makes your skin so dewy & supple. When I say supple I mean the most supple you’ve ever experienced. The main ingredients are colostrum ( !!! ), aloe & citrus peel oil. These are all incredible things if you have dry to normal skin.

What I do is first use my The Skinny Confidential HOT MESS ICE ROLLER because I want my skin as tight & as depuffed as possible, always. Then I put a dime-sized amount of cream in my hands & massage my face with it.

To finish I always use The Skinny Confidential ICE QUEEN FACE OIL. It’s full of blueberry, raspberry & pomegranate seed oils. Next I’ll use Elta MD SPF or a caffeinated sunscreen, & the whole concoction leaves me with the perfect canvas for my makeup.

Sidenote:

If you haven’t tried caffeinated sunscreen, you should. It gets things extra snatched & acts as a primer. I’ve been using it for years so it’s a ride-or-die- trust me.

I digress, this post is about colostrum moisturizer. LOL. It’s a real gem. Another way to use this is when you’re winding down at night. Cleanse your face, have a little ice roll, spritz a bit of mist, add your colostrum moisturizer, pat on some ICE QUEEN FACE OIL & crawl into bed like a wet rat. You’ll wake up GLOWING.

The reviews for Epicuren Colostrum Luminous Glow Cream are amazing. I had to check them to make sure I wasn’t alone in this obsession & sure enough people are raving that their husbands noticed, it works on mature skin, that they love the consistency…I mean it looks like 5 stars all around.

Another thing I love about this cream is that it doubles as an eye cream. In all honesty I’m not a big fan of eye creams because they give me milia ( more on that here ) but this one doesn’t.

THE SMELL !! It’s perfect. Plus, the cream isn’t too heavy, it’s super light. I’m probably on my 10th bottle.

Yes, I’m fully recommending you go put colostrum on your face. If you just had a baby & are breastfeeding, just squeeze your tit, get that colostrum & rub it on your face. Can you send me some too?

Speaking of breastfeeding, would you guys be interested in a post on my breastfeeding journey? Let me know in the comments below.

Peace, love & colostrum.
