My Morning Skincare Regimen
If you follow me on Instagram, then you know today I shared my morning skin care regimen on IGTV. I go into detail on the products that I have been recently using every morning without fail. If you couldn’t make it through the video or don’t have the time to commit to watching the whole thing (it’s a tad lengthy) then you can browse the below to understand what I do to achieve healthy, glowing, clear skin.
It’s been a labor of love for sure. I am not a dermatologist by any means, these are simply the products that have worked for me so I wanted to share. You can also shop what I use below!
Step 1: CLEANSE- Finding a great cleanser is an essential part of any successful skincare regimen. There are many different formulas out there however a gel cleanser is what I prefer. I use the Honest Beauty Gel cleanser with my Clarisonic Mia every morning. Linked below!
Step 2: TONE- I always use a toner after cleansing my face. It’s another step to make sure my skin is squeaky clean and that my pores have been cleared out of all the bad junk.
Step 3: ZIT CONTROL- I don’t always have to do this step. It’s mostly only when I experience break-outs which is typically once a month. I’ll use the Clean & Clear Acne Spot Control as soon as I feel a zit coming on and it’s gone, no lie within 2-3 days of me using it. This stuff is magic.
Step 4: MOISTURIZE- This is THE most important step in my skin care regimen and my favorite. I love the feeling of freshly moisturized skin. Your skin is like a plant it really does need water and consistent moisture. I’ve been using the Collagen ++ brand and absolutely love the consistency. It feels like a cloud on my skin.
Intermission: The next 2 things I’m going to talk about I won’t do every day simply because I don’t always have the time in the mornings especially when it’s time to actually start going back to work. However, they are a nice pick me up and really help to awaken my skin if I stayed up late the night before and just need an extra boost.
Jade Roller- The jade roller is such a game changer. It’s cooling effect really helps to liven the skin. If you’re like me and wake up with a puffy face and eyes then you will love this. I keep mine refrigerated in between each use. It almost feels like you’re getting your own little facial.
Pixie DePuffing Eye Patches- I just mentioned that I wake up with puffy eyes, and I already have smaller eyes as it is so this isn’t cute in the mornings. I have been loving the Pixie eye patches because they help bring my eyes back to life.
Step 5: AGE-DEFYING SERUM- There has been a lot of talk about serums within the past couple of years and many people don’t really understand what they are for or how they are beneficial. I like to think of serums as juice for you skin and just extra moisture to help seal in your moisturizer and all the work that you’ve just done. I use the Bare Minerals Age-Defying Serum which has Vitamin C. FYI-Your skin loves Vitamin C. Also, be proactive in your approach to skin care. What do you want to accomplish? Do you want to maintain your youthfulness? Are you trying to just get rid of acne? Entering into my 30’s I’m really focusing on looking 16 for as long as I possibly can lol so that is my goal.
Step 6: SUN-KISSED BOOSTER DROPS- This last step isn’t completely necessary but I like a natural glow. It really helps to even out my skin tone and is a nice finishing touch. All you need are a couple of drops and you are all set.
