Stratia Liquid Gold

Stratia Liquid Gold - I started using LG in 2018 after seeing so many people post about it here. I have combination skin and it makes my skin feel its best, I grew to like the smell, and I now consider it to be my bare minimum skincare item, even on days where I'm feeling too tired to go through the rest of my routine. I even got my fiancé to start using it, and I think he enjoys his routine of putting on his "mustard" every night.

I think it’s the sea buckthorn oil and I’m planning on purchasing the Stratia Liquid Gold instead. **Dr. Jart+ Cicapair Tiger Grass Color Correcting Treatment**: I like using this after sunscreen during the day as a light tinted product. It is slightly drying, so it’s best applied to hydrated skin and it provides nice but minimal coverage. Basically it’s a confidence booster, without wearing foundation or a tinted moisturizer and it also provides some sunscreen coverage.

\-(Honorary) Stratia Liquid Gold (you can even use this as a serum underneath a moisturizer). Also, adding squalane oil or marula oil helped me tremendously as well. It's also important to have hydrating layers underneath your moisturizer, so make sure to implement something like a hydrating toner or essence on damp skin so all that hydration can be trapped in with these moisturizers and oils. That also really helped me a LOT.

I swear by [Stratia](https://www.stratiaskin.com/). I’m almost 40 and it’s really helped to even put my skin tone, reduce redness, reduce dark spots from old acne scars, and reduce the dark circles under my eyes. The two products I use the most (when I can’t be bothered to go through the whole routine) are Rewind and Liquid Gold. Their velvet cleansing milk is extremely gentle, too.

You’ll need a rx from a derm or dr but it’ll only cost you $20 without insurance or $0 with insurance (but most insurance doesn’t cover it ). Honorable mention : Stratia liquid gold would be a similar OTC option. Great for daytime : Avene skin recovery cream (original has been discontinued but it’ll re link you to the reformulated version ).

And most of the time, I feel like the moisturiser doesn’t sink In. I’ve tried lots of moisturisers like: Tatcha Water Cream (not hydrating enough for me! ), Tatcha Dewy Cream (broke me out when I used it with Sk2), Krave OSS water cream, illiyoon, etude house soonjung emulsion, stratia liquid gold. They were alright but it just wasn’t holy grail to me and I didn’t repurchase any of them except for Krave’s!!.

it also really helps with hyperpigmentation as well. you can also find this ingredient in products like Stratia Liquid Gold and Kraves Great Barrier Relief, which are both also great for acne since they're barrier repairing products.

I used my **Balefire Apothecary** **Blood Moon** **face mask** - it refines my pores and makes my skin smooth, followed up with **Stratia Liquid Gold**. Later on I will line my eyes in **Sydney Grace** shadow in Boss Babe which is a great cool-toned medium matte grey, and **Eccentric Cosmetics** lip color in [Caño on me it doesn't look 'brick red' but more of a cool toned pink/red with blue shift.

* Stratia Liquid Gold. I put this on damp skin. I damp my skin using the Avene Thermal Water spray but if you dont have that, you can just use regular water to damp your skin of course. Personally i think that is the best way to reap the benefits of hydrating and moisturizing products.
