Morning Skincare Routine

Good morning, all! Learn how to take care of your skin by using these 6 easy steps.

Be good to your skin. You’ll wear it everyday for the rest of your life.-Renée Rouleau

Step 1: FACIAL CLEANER

Get face and neck wet with warm water. Lather between hands and massage in a circular motion on face and neck. Rinse throughly with warm water and pat face dry. DO NOT RUB.Clinique liquid facial soap

I use this Clinique facial cleanser because I have very sensitive and DRY skin. There are 3 different formulas and was created by Dermatologists. (Extra dry, dry and oily) This facial cleanser feels light and silky to the touch and refreshes the skin. It is also fragrance free! This is a product I can’t live without!

Step 2: TONER

Most women ask what is a toner?! Do I need it?! YES. Yes, you need a toner! A toner is going to help get off extra dirt or help remove any leftover makeup. It is also going to unclog and help minimize the appearance of pores.

Place a small amount onto a cotton pad and gently wipe in a circular motion onto face and neck. Let dry.Kylie Skin Vanilla Milk Toner

I use Kylie Skin Vanilla Milk Toner. I have always used toners, but this one was a game changer. The milk based formula feels rejuvenating on my skin and doesn’t dry it out like others I have used. It leaves my skin feeling moisturized and this product is alcohol free!

Step 3: SERUM

Serums help renew cells and make your skin feel smoother and hydrated.

Apply one pump onto hands and gently rub into face and neck. Avoid the eye area (you will be using an eye cream, soon!)Clinique Turnaround Revitalizing Serum

I have been using Clinique Turnaround Revitalizing Serum for a few years now and still, have not found anything better! It comes out in a thick yet smooth consistency and goes onto your skin very nicely. It doesn’t make my skin feel oily. I used to have texture on my forehead and chin, but ever since I have used this, I have had NO texture!

Step 4: Eye Cream

It is so important that you use an eye cream 2x daily, starting in your early 20’s. Using an eye cream is going to help reduce puffiness, add brightness to the skin and prevent wrinkles. It is also going to help you keep your skins elasticity.

Apply a pea-size amount to finger tips and very gently dab on eyelid and around under eye area.Kylie Skin Eye Cream

The day Kylie Jenner released her skincare line, I was on it! The hype was everything, so I thought, ‘man it is really that good?!’ Minutes after the product line went live I ordered the kit. I love this eye cream because the applicator is easy to use– you can either use your fingers or the applicator itself around your eye. I also like the tinted color to the product. Maybe its in my head, but I feel like the tinted color adds a brightening effect. I hope you enjoy this product as much as I do!

Step 5: Moisturizer

If you are going to do any of these steps, moisturizer is THE one! After washing your face, does your skin ever feel dry? Tight? Itchy? Your skin needs moisture!

Apply a small amount to hands and gently rub into skin, until face feels hydrated.Clinique Moisture Surge

I have been using this moisturizer for years now and I haven’t found one that has made my skin feel so hydrated and keep it feeling that way ALL. DAY. LONG. I know… I know… You are probably thinking, “Why are you wearing an ‘overnight mask’?!” Well, it may sound silly, but I use it as a daily moisturizer because my skin is so DRY. I used to have my nose flake on a daily from my skin being dry but after a couple weeks of using this my face felt so hydrated. I highly recommend this product!

Step 6: SUNSCREEN

Using sunscreen is very important, especially if you live in a state where it is always SUNNY! You want this to be the last step in your skin care because of how thick it is. If you use sunscreen before your moisturizer , it will not absorb into the skin. So, just remember to always use it last!

Apply a small amount to the skin and neck. Rub gently into the skin.Cetaphil SPF 50+

I guess you could use this sunscreen as a daily moisturizer like the tube says, but I personally do not like to use it as a moisturizer and a sunscreen in one. It doesn’t make my skin feel as hydrated, it still feels tight. That is why I use my overnight mask moisturizer and sunscreen separate. I honestly feel like any sunscreen that says it is a moisturizer as well, will not make your skin feel as hydrated. I never use to have sunscreen apart of my morning skincare routine, until I met my lovely mother-in-law. She taught me how important sunscreen was for your face and neck, even if you aren’t directly into the sun. She has very sensitive skin, so for her to be using a drugstore product that is affordable, says a lot. I used to think it clogged my pores and would feel oily on my skin but it actually does not! This brand specifically does not make my skin feel that way. It is also SPF 50+!! I love the smell of sunscreen! Is that weird? Do you like the smell of sunscreen?!
