I use the word “routine” a little loosely when it comes to skincare. In all honesty, half the time I fall asleep without doing my skincare, and worst of all, sometimes it’s with a full face of makeup on. Even though that may happen every now and then, I truly think my skincare routine is what saves my skin.
The main purpose of my blog is to be transparent and honest with you all. Keeping up with a consistent morning and nighttime skincare routine is not always realistic, and that’s ok. A routine takes practice and might be a trial and error until you get it down to what you want. I am only sharing with y’all what has worked for me and the products I frequently repurchase!
So, let’s get into my morning and nighttime skincare routines!
Morning:
First off, I rinse my face and cleanse it with my Youth To The People Superfood Cleanser. This cleanser is my HOLY GRAIL of cleansers and truly makes my skin feel amazing. Immediately after, I’ll apply my Ole Henriksen Vitamin C Serum. If I wake up with a puffy face, I will ice roll around my eyes and face with my Skin Gym Ice Roller for a few minutes. This helps to work in the serum and de-puff! Next, depending on the day, I’ll apply my day-time moisturizer. My go-to for years has been the Origins A Perfect World with SPF in it. This moisturizer leaves my face feeling hydrated and glowing. I have also been loving the It Cosmetics Confidence in a Bottle moisturizer. Lastly, if I have any redness on my face, I will use Dr. Jart’s Tiger Grass Drops. These drops will immediately diminish the look of redness on my skin. Now I have a fresh face and am ready for the day!
Night:
I always go in with the Micellar Cleansing Water to remove makeup, followed by my Youth To The People Cleanser. The key is to DOUBLE CLEANSE! This makes all the difference in my skin, especially on days that I wear makeup. About once or twice a week, I will go in with an exfoliator and use my Foreo Luna Mini from Sephora with my cleanser. Next, I apply my Youth To The People Hydrate + Firm Eye Cream around my eyes. I usually rotate between three different nighttime moisturizers. I either use my Estēe Lauder Revitalizing Night Cream, Youth To The People Superberry Dream Mask, or Ole Henrikson retin-ALT Sleeping Cream. I only use the Ole Henrikson moisturizer with retinol about twice a week to help with preventing fine lines. Lastly, I will finish my skincare with my Dime eyelash serum and Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask.
Recap:
I am definitely aware that my skincare routine is a lot more complex than the average person, so do whatever feels the best and works for your skin! Every product I highlighted is what works best for me and my skin. There’s a lot of products that I use and did not highlight because I don’t use them regularly, but I will make sure to mention those on my socials this week!
I would LOVE to hear from you and the products you use on the daily! If you have any product recommendations for me to try or review, please fill this out below! Thank you for reading!
