My Skincare Regimen
I am often asked about what I use on my skin so I thought I would do a blog post about it. Honestly, I’ve never had terrible skin but as I am getting older I am reminded of how important it is to take care of the skin underneath. I always want to wear makeup by choice but not because I have to… So I upped the ante and went from washing my face with water to using real products dedicated to the care of my skin. It's important to note that the products you use on your skin in the summer will likely be different in the winter. I use a cocktail of products so I’ll list them all below (Also, this is the order I use my products in).
Face wash: I use Cetaphil. I only wash my face once a day with soap. Typically at night in the shower and then in the morning I just wash it with warm water so as not to strip the skin.
Mist- Mario Badescu rosewater facial spray- (Daytime)I use this in the day as a moisturizer on wet skin.
Toner- Glow Hydrating face mist toner- (Evening) I use the toner at night in place of the Mario Badescu Rosewater facial spray.
Serum CLE serum- ( Daytime)This is packed with vitamin C and I love it. It gives the skin a nice dewy glow and its super light.
Kiehls Nighttime Recovery (Evening) I love this product because when I tell you a little goes a long way, that’s what I mean. This is a great wintertime product especially when the air is dry and it's colder. I sometimes feel like it may be a bit too oily for the summer. Especially for humid GA summers. If you decide to use it throughout the summer use it sparingly.
Eye Cream- Sesderma Eye contour cream- (Daytime) This product has vitamin C for your eyes and should be used as a set with the nighttime cream.
Sesderma Angioses- Under eye serum for dark circles- (Evening) I use an eye serum for the dark circles under my eyes. I’m going to be honest, I haven’t paid as much attention to whether or not it works but I do love the overall appearance of my skin lately. Additionally, wrinkles by the eyes are a place that our age tends to show up so I’m working hard to combat that.
Face lotion- CeraVe -I like this moisturizer because it's light but hydrating and its inexpensive at around $7 dollars.
I live my life on a budget so that I can do ALL the things, so my skincare can’t be too expensive. If you decide to try the products let me know how you like them.
