It wasn’t until I turned 30 that I took a good look at my skincare routine. I wanted to take a proactive approach when it came to healthy and graceful aging and with a little help and some research, here’s where I am today. I do have to say that my skin is really dry and I try to keep it as moisturized as possible. I also don’t gravitate towards one specific brand because I don’t think there’s one brand that’s amazing at everything. I also like trying different brands as the weather changes and my specific needs change.
AM SKINCARE
Mornings are super simple for me. I rinse my face with cold water and pat it dry. While my skin is a little damp, I apply Tatcha Dewy Serum Resurfacing and Plumping Treatment serum all over my face and let it absorb while I get dressed. Then I apply Tatcha Dewy Skin Moisturizer followed by sunscreen. Throughout the day, if my skin feels a little dry, I spray Everything spray or my complexion mist from Primally Pure and allow that to moisturize my face until I remove my makeup and apply my evening moisturizers.
PM SKINCARE
Night time is where I spend a little more attention on my skin. I go back and forth between using Cleansing Oil from Primally Pure or Micerall Cleansing Water to remove my makeup and clean my skin. I take all of my makeup off every single night or I just feel really heavy. I like showering right before bed as well so I may bring in a facewash in the shower as well. I like to exfoliate my skin in the shower because I feel like the products I use absorb best when all of that dry skin is removed.
Once a week, I’ll use Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare Alpha Beta Extra Strength Daily Peel and it’s magic!!! It’s a two-step system that exfoliates and reduces the appearance of fine lines!
I pat my face dry after the shower and add a few drops of Sunday Riley A+ High-Dose Retinol Serum and let my skin absorb that while I get dressed and brush my teeth. Then I massage Sunday Riley Luna Retinol Sleeping Night Oil all over my face and neck. It goes on with a blue tint because of the blue tansy it has but it soon absorbs into my skin. Then I finish it off with Tatcha Kissu Lip Mask.
I like to drink hot tea while everything absorbs before I lay down for the night!
Do you have a skincare routine that you follow? What are some favorite products of yours?!
