Hey everyone! Skincare is one of my favorite things in life. When it comes down to spending more money on makeup or skincare, I always chose skincare! To give everyone a lowdown of my skin- I have combination skin... so in the winter I am dry and in the summer I am oily. I have a ton of freckles, so I always reach for products that are going to brighten my skin. I finally have found a holy-grail skincare routine that I am happy with! Here is what I have been loving! The Morning: Mornings for me are super simple when it comes to skincare. I start by cleansing my face with the MuradAgeReformRefreshingCleanser. Murad is by far my favorite for all skincare brands! This specific cleanser is a non-drying, foaming cleanser that is rich in soothing, softening extracts of cucumber, Hawaiian white ginger, and algae. This cleanser soothes my tired skin in the morning and washes away excess surface oil, makeup, and impurities. Hawaiian white ginger root extract hydrates skin while cucumber extract soothes and refreshes. Algae extracts enhances skin's smoothness. After washing my face, I reach for my holy grail moisturizer, Cetaphil moisturizing Cream. This moisturizer works with any skin type!!! I especially love this because it is non-greasy but moisturizing! Extra-strength emollients and humectants bind water to your skin and prevent moisture loss. It's a lanolin-, paraben-, and fragrance-free formula. After I have moisturized, the last step is to apply my eye cream! Many of you may think that an eye cream is not neccesary, but it is! Women should start in their early 20's with anti-aging products! The eye cream I used is from Murad. It is the Murad Renewing Eye Cream. This anti-aging treatment for the eye area firms, brightens, and hydrates to minimize the appearance of aging and dark circles. There is an ingredient (Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4 ) in this eye cream that reduces medium-to-deep crow's feet, and the Eye Brightening Complex diminishes puffiness for a brighter, illuminated eye area. I am currently still on the look out for an amazing, oil-free sunscreen! So if anyone has recommendations, Comment below!! The Night: At the end of the day, I grab the same cleanser I used earlier that morning, MuradAgeReformRefreshingCleanser. I used my Mia Clarisonic with the murad cleanser. It removes all my makeup and excess oil from the day! My clarisonic is by far the best beauty related investment I have made. It was pricey, but I have had it for 3 years now! They come in the cutest colors too! Mine is a light yellow, like in the picture above. It does an amazing job getting off all my makeup and it feels amazing! It is like a mini spa treatment but in my home.. in my pjs... If you do not want to spend the money on a clairsonic, make sure you are buying a strong enough cleanser to get all your makeup and excess oil off, because if you don't it will lead to breakouts, & who wants breakouts?? Not me! Next, I go in with my Murad Skin Polish. It is an exfoliate but it so so CREAMY! I have noticed a huge change in my skin since I started using this product. It has relieved my congested skin, especially around my nose where I have cute, large pores. This product claims to "Polish your way to a flawless complexion. This powerful exfoliating formula features micro-polishing beads that work to relieve clogged pores and blackheads while smoothing and softening. Witch hazel and cinnamon extract visibly tighten pores and balance oil production while starflower extract leaves newly polished skin soft and supple. Ideal as a weekly boost to your daily cleansing routine, this polish helps you do more for your pores without drying or irritating your skin." It does everything it claims! Next step, is to apply my Cetaphil moisturizing Cream. I apply it all over my face and neck in an upward motion, NEVER GO DOWNWARDS. We want to lift, lift, lift.... even if we don't need lifting. Lifting never hurt nobody. My final step for my skincare at night time is the best product to ever be invented... Lush Lovely Jubblies Breast Cream. Yes, you heard me, BREAST CREAM. I do not use it for what is intended for. I use this as a neck cream to firm & tighten my neck & decolletage. I love the everything about this product: the smell, texture, and how moisturizing it is! Go & get it people! If I am really in the mood, the final thing I will do is apply a lush fresh face mask! Right now, I have been using the Don’t Look At Me Lush Fresh Face Mask. This mask is so fun and smells amazing! & it is BRIGHT BLUE, how fun?? The mask contains ground rice that gently scrubs away dry skin, murumuru butter moisturizes and zingy lemon juice that tones dull skin. Down below is a picture of what Don’t Look At Me Lush Fresh Face Mask looks like! So that’s my current skin care routine at the moment! Let me know if you have any product suggestions. I always love trying out new things!
