I’ve always been a fan of Alicia Keys, not just for her music but also for her whole vibe, you know? So when I heard she had a skincare line, Keys Soulcare, I was like, “Sign me up!” Plus, it’s at Ulta, and who doesn’t love a good Ulta run? Here’s how it went down.

First off, I gotta say, the packaging is gorgeous. It’s all sleek and minimalist, really gives off those calm, self-care vibes. I started with the Golden Cleanser. Honestly, I didn’t even know this was related to Alicia at first. Then I did some digging and found out it was hers. I was really curious about the whole thing with manuka honey from New Zealand, so it seemed gentle, which is what I need. I’ve been using it for a while now, and my face feels so clean but not, like, stripped, you know what I mean?
- Then, I grabbed the exfoliator. I’m trying to be better about exfoliating, so this was a must.
- After that, I moved on to the face mask. I mean, who doesn’t love a good face mask? It’s the ultimate self-care treat.
- I also picked up the face cream. Gotta keep that skin moisturized, especially now that the weather is getting colder.
A Whole Ritual
Now here’s the thing, this isn’t just about slapping some products on your face. It’s about creating a whole ritual. I light one of the Keys Soulcare candles – they smell amazing, by the way – and I really take my time with each step. There are even little affirmations on the packaging, which I love. It’s like, instead of just washing my face, I’m cleansing my soul, too. I saw this affirmation about an inner light on the packaging, and I realized it was from one of her songs. I felt like I connected with the brand in that moment.
I was dealing with a lot of stress. After all, life is pretty chaotic right now. I read up on the products and found out that they are formulated for all skin types, so it seemed worth the risk. I’ve only been using this stuff for a few weeks, but I swear my skin is already looking brighter and more even. I even took some before and after pics, and the difference is noticeable. It really helped reduce my fine lines and dark spots. But more than that, I feel good. It’s like I’m taking care of myself, inside and out. It’s not just about meeting external beauty standards but doing things on my own terms.
So yeah, I’m officially a Keys Soulcare convert. It’s affordable, it’s good for your skin, and it just makes you feel good. If you’re looking for a little extra something-something in your skincare routine, definitely give it a try. You won’t regret it!
