It’s been exactly 13 years since Ciara declared she’s looking for a sexy, independent, down-to-spend-it type that’s gettin’ his dough – well, that’s definitely Russell Wilson for you. The power of the tongue people (or song in this case)! That and clear-cut prayers. Yup, she and Viola have been teaching us singles how to get exactly what you desire out here.
But, while we know the Level Up singer’s secret to a good husband and a happy marriage, we don’t have a clue about the secret to her everlasting glow.
Well, we scoured through her Instagram page (stalker much?), then skipped over to her BFF and makeup artist’s page, Yolonda Frederick, to find these as Ciara’s holy grail to a flawless, radiant, and everlasting glow!
On A Mission Vitamin C-iara Hydrating Cleanser ($28)
If your skin always flares up at the drop of a hat, Ciara’s holy grail, the OAM Vitamin C Cleanser, should be your new BFF.
Loaded with Tri-C (C for Ciara, just had to ?) Pro-Peptide Complex, hyaluronic acid, and snow mushroom extract, the hydrating cleanser hydrates and plumps, conditions, and locks in moisture, and rids your skin of dirt, toxic impurities, and debris while allowing for a healthy, glowing, collagen-rich appearance.
OAM Skin Vitamin C Brightening Pads, $28
“I wanted a line that tells me the key things that I need for my skin to be radiant, to have that glow up, to be smooth and even as possible, and to eliminate dark circles and the lines,” Ciara told Elle in an interview.
And that’s exactly what these brightening pads do. So, get some for your on-the-go skincare arsenal.
OAM 20% Vitamin C Brightening Serum, $62
Another one of Ciara’s OAM Skin’s liquid gold products? The 20% Vitamin C Brightening Serum. It just allows your skin to radiate, level up, and glow until infinity.
Packed with Tri-C Pro-Peptide Complex, Vitamin E, Vitamin A, CoQ10, and Bearberry leaf Extract, this liquid gold serum distributes microdoses of ultra-refined, non-irritating ingredients all day long to allow for the smoothest, most even, and radiant skin.
She alternates this potent vitamin C serum with the Derma E Vitamin C Serum ($20), which is not only more affordable but has been her go-to since she started her skincare journey.
BeautyBio Cryo Skin Icing Dual-Ended Roller, $85
Want to know which ice roller Ciara uses to achieve such a sculpted appearance? It’s this one from BeautyBio.
The professional-grade stainless steel harnesses the power of ice-cold temperatures to depuff, detoxify, and tighten the skin for a clearer, more radiant, and sculpted appearance.
Oh, and before we forget, if you’re looking to achieve that forever glow-up, pop your favorite sheet mask and use this bb over it to boost the absorption powers of the mask’s serum while also massaging your skin.
The bartender will be asking for your ID every damn time!
Murad Essential-C Broad Spectrum SPF 30 PA+, $65
This broad-spectrum sunscreen is basically dark spots and hyperpigmentation’s worst nightmare. In addition to SPF 30, the formula’s got a cocktail of skin-brightening ingredients – vitamin C and ginkgo biloba leaf extract – to help blast existing discoloration and allow for radiant, even-toned skin.
“Paired with SkinCeuticals products, it’s done wonders for my skin.”
Fresh Sugar Advanced Therapy Treatment Lip Balm, $22
Say hellooo to this Ciara-approved lip treatment balm loaded with a slew of hydrating ingredients.
Hyaluronic acid delivers a plumper, healthier look, the sea fennel smooths the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and sugar allows for a long-lasting hydrating effect.
Microdermabrasion Treatments
“One thing I’ve been doing that I discovered years ago is Microderm. I really love doing Microderm,” Ciara told Byrdie.
“I haven’t done it in a while, but I got addicted to it because you can really see the difference – your before and after is huge, and every time, you’ve always got a nice glow, like you’ve gotten rid of some old dead skin cells.”
It seems the secret to CeeCee’s glow is really some Vitamin C-iara! Sorry, just had to one last time! That and some water, a few dance sessions during the day, a man’s man like Russell Wilson, and minding your own damn business!
Oh, and maybe a brilliant skincare specialist and advisor like Ms. Yolonda Frederick, and you’ll be looking like a teenager even in your late 30s.
