My Skincare Routine

I don't know if it's because it's summer or maybe it's just because I am home from school, but I have been very into skincare lately! Not only do I make sure to remove my makeup every night, but I make an effort to full on pamper my skin. Today, I am going to share with you my skincare routine! My skin type is sensitive and dry, so these are the products that work best for me. With that said, my regiment may not be fit for someone who has a different skin type. I have been using these products for long enough to know that they work well for me.

To start off, you must remove your makeup. I used to use makeup wipes, until my mom introduced me to the Clinique Take the Day Off Cleansing Balm. Not to be dramatic, but this product is life changing. This super silky balm removes all of my makeup flawlessly, while cleansing my skin. After I rinse my face with water, my skin is left super soft and smooth. Unlike makeup wipes which tend to tug on your skin, this balm works so well it requires minimal rubbing to get the job done. Ask you can see from the image below, this product is well loved and I will need to purchase a new one very soon. Pick yours up here!

After makeup removal comes cleansing. I have tried a fair amount of cleansers, but this one is my favorite. I use the Bare Minerals Pure Plush Gentle Deep Cleansing Foam. It's a mouthful of a name, but an amazing product! To make this cleanser work most effectively, I use my Clarisonic for an extra deep clean. I have been using a Clarisonic since Middle School, and I swear by this product. I have never been prone to break outs, so I can't say whether or not the brush keeps my skin clear. However, when I slack on my skin routine a few days, meaning I don't use my Clarisonic, I notice my skin is not as vibrant and soft. The brush I use on mine is the one designed for sensitive skin. Following the cleanser, I use my Boots No7 Protect and Perfect Moisturizer. It says day cream on the container, however, I like it for night time since it is a thick moisturizer and I do not think my skin needs all of the anti-aging benefits of the night cream quite yet. On top of that, I use my Boots No7 Protect and Perfect Advanced Serum.

Next I apply an eye cream. Lately, I have been using Clinique Repairwear Anti-Gravity. It feels super smooth under the eyes, and the packaging is also super sleek. I change up the order with this one, but either after I cleanse or moisturize, I apply my Mario Badescu facial spray. This is a great product to mist on your face throughout the day to keep your skin looking fresh and hydrated as well. This is yet another product that I love and will need to purchase again very soon! I do not do this every night, but when I do self- tan my face, the Clinique self-sun face tinted lotion is my favorite!

In the morning, I don't do my full face routine. Instead, I use my Micellar Cleansing Water to get off any dirt and oils that may have developed over night. I then moisturize with the same moisturizer as night time. I like to use my Neutrogena eye cream after applying moisturizer. It is great for hydrating my skin, and preventing wrinkles is always easier than reversing them! If I have a breakout, I will then apply a spot treatment. I also use the spot treatment at night for most effective results.

Are any of my favorite products also your favorite? Let me know!

Much love! tresmadison
