Hey Guys!
I haven't updated my skincare routine in quite a while, December 14, 2009 to be exact, YIKES! A few things have changed since then so I thought I would share my current routine. I'm still using Clinique, but have added a couple new items. I store all my skincare products on this little black tray and keep it in my bathroom cupboard. It is easy to pull the tray out and grab what I need in one try instead of reaching back into my cupboard for individual products.
It varies a bit for when I'm on day shift and when I'm on nights. I don't always wash my face twice a day when I'm on day shift, but I always do on nights. My skin is normal/dry so as long as I moisturize in the morning, I'm good to go.
MORNING SKINCARE ROUTINE
Clinique Liquid Facial Soap Extra Mild
Clinique Clarifying Lotion #2
Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion or Origins VitaZing SPF15 Moisturizer
Garnier Skin-Renew Anti-Puff Eye Roller
NIGHT SKINCARE ROUTINE
*similar to the morning, but I use a makeup remover, treatments, and a heavier moisturizer.
MAC Cleanse Off Oil
Clarisonic Plus Face Brush (sensitive brush head, 2nd speed setting)
Clinique Liquid Facial Soap Extra Mild
Clinique Clarifying Lotion #2
Garnier Dark Spot Corrector
Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair Skin Synchronized Recovery Complex
Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair Eye Synchronized Complex
Marcelle Hydra-C 24H Energizing Hydrating Gel (click here to see my review)
MASKS
BLISS 15 Minute Steep Clean Mask (once a week)
Queen Helene Mint Julep Masque (once every two weeks or when I need to dry up a pimple)
Biore Face and Nose strips (these are THE BEST for removing blackheads from pores)
OTHER
Marcelle Essentials Purity Soothing Cleansing Water: I like this water because you don't have to rise it off and it both cleanses and tones in one!
Kirkland Daily Facial Cleansing Towelettes: You get 150 total towelettes per box from Costco. There is 2 or 3 large size packages (like the one pictured above) and 2 travel sizes with fewer towelettes. The entire box costs about $12 and goes on sale for a couple dollars off quite often. I use these on nights when I'm lazy (it doesn't happen too often), and I also keep these by my vanity to wipe my hands if I get product (i.e., foundation, concealer) on my fingers.
Clean and Clear Morning Burst Skin Brightening Facial Scrub: I use this a few times a week in the shower. I wish I still had my MAC Volcanic Ash exfoliator, but that has been gone for some time now. PLEASE MAC, RE-RELEASE THIS!
ELF Zit Zapper: I spot treat blemishes with this product. It is basically just Witch Hazel,
but I like how it is in a roller ball so I can dab it on the places that need it.
With this routine, my skin has been more even, smooth, and overall the best condition it has been in.
