Current Skincare Routine: Morning and Night

One thing we cannot defy is the movement of time. We all age which causes the skin to lose collagen, gain facial/ wrinkle lines, sun and/ or acne marks, and dullness in color. However, to slow down the process of aging, we can apply certain skincare products to help maintain our youth. Today, I am sharing my current morning and night skincare routine. I am showing you the exact steps in which I apply the products as well. 

MORNING ROUTINE

During the morning/ day, one step I never skip is wearing sunscreen. It is a crucial part of preventing skin damage since sun exposure is one of the biggest culprits for skin decline. Another great sun fighting agent is vitamin c! It is an antioxidant meaning they help prevent the cell damage caused by harmful molecules. Vitamin C limits the damage induced by ultraviolet (UV) light exposure. I apply this first before hyaluronic acid to help penetrate the product deeper. The hyaluronic acid helps lock in moisture in the skin but an important factor to remember is to make sure that the skin is slightly damp beforehand and by adding additional moisture through a cream afterward. I use vitamin c two to three times a week. 

Follow the steps below after cleansing.

NIGHT ROUTINE

At night, I like to focus my attention on repair and renewal. Retinol is one of my all-time favorite products for anti-aging. Retinol is a great ingredient to start using in your mid-twenties. However, it is known to cause irritation and dryness so start by using this product once or twice a week before building up usage. Niacinamide is an ingredient that compliments retinol and helps balance out the harsh side effects retinol can cause. Niacinamide reduces inflammation which may help ease redness from eczema, acne, and other inflammatory skin conditions. It is also great for oily skin types as it minimizes pore appearance and regulates oil.

Summer Skin Esstentials

A couple times a week, I wash my face with this Aveeno Resurfacing Scrub to remove any dead skin cells. It leaves my skin feeling so new, like i just got a facial. Tip: wash your face in small circular motion for 1-2 minutes. Check out reviews on other cleansers here!

Smooth legs are a must for the summer especially when you're wearing cute dresses that show your legs off. I've used this Gillette Satin Care Shaving Gel for years now and I love it. It smooths the skin and doesn't leave you with razor burn. 

Summer showers feel so much better thanks to this Dove Go Fresh Cool Moisture Bar Soap! It's super refreshing and leaves my skin feeling clean. 

We get so much sun in the summer (sometimes too much) so body lotion is very important. I prefer to use lotions with aloe to help sooth sun burns. This Vaseline Intensive Aloe Lotion feels nice and cool on the skin and is so refreshing!

I love high heels and cute summer sandals but I hate the blisters! I always carry band aids in my wallet for just such an occasion that a blister appears. The clear Band Aids are great because it's less noticeable.  I know the ladies understand the pain

Rembrandt Whitening Strips are great for getting your teeth looking super white. I only use these strips for a touch up when I feel like my teeth can use a quick boost. These strips don't make my teeth sensitive and help whiten after several uses. 

Toner is a key ingredient for clear skin! This Neutrogena Oil Free Acne Stress Control Triple Action Toner is amazing! I discovered toner about a year ago..too late in life. I swear by this product!! It has made such a difference in my acne and skin. It has really help decrease my acne and prevent pimples. I use this after cleansing my face twice a day. Toner helps balance out the pH levels in your skin. 

One of the most sensitive parts of your face is the skin under your eyes. I use under eye cream to reduce puffiness in the mornings. The cool tip on the Loreal RevitaLift Triple Power Eye Treatment feels so good and refreshing! I press very gently and apply in before my second layer of eye cream Estée Lauder and face lotion.

Sunscreen is also very important for the body. I apply this Banana Boat SPH on my shoulders and chest whenever I go out in the sun because they are very prone to getting burnt. When I go to the beach, I apply this sunscreen head to toe.  

Something new I recently tried out is the Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair Serum. It came in my Lisa Perry Gift bag (it's free with any $35 purchase). I use a few drops at night after rinsing my face. It left my face feeling really moisturized in the morning and less puffy too!
