My Skincare Routine

I'll start off saying I'm not extremely diligent about my skincare routine but I do try to keep my skin looking nice. Also, my routine changes from summer to winter because in the summer I have super shiny oily skin and in the winter it's dry and flaky. So I'll breakdown each routine and give you a little info on the products.

A.M. - Neutragena's Ultra Sheer Daily Face Sunscreen (Summer)
         - Arbonne's Hydrating Eye Cream
         -Arbonne's Mattifying Powder (Summer)

The sunscreen is great because it's made for the face so it absorbs fast and it works well with make up. The eye cream also absorbs fast and doesn't heave a greasy mess like most under eye treatments do. The mattifying powder is used to suck up oil but needs to be applied throughout the day when you get shiny.




P.M. -Arbonne's Exfoliating New Cell Scrub /Mario Badescu's Acne Facial Cleanser
         - Mario Badescu's Cucumber Cleansing Lotion
         - Oil of Olay's Night Fortifying Moisturizer (Winter)

  

I think it's a necessity to exfoliate your skin at least a few times a week. So I usually exfoliate every other day and switch it with my cleanser in the summer time but in the winter I may only exfoliate once or twice a week because my skin is so dry.  Afper my cleanser I use a toner.  Toners are good for clearing and tightening pores and I highly recommend always using a toner after you wash your face. In winter I use a moisturizer because my skin gets really dry. I use a night one because my skin just gets too oily and clogged when I use one before putting makeup on.


 

I also like to use any kind of face mask at least once a week. I love trying out different face masks at Lush or ones I find at the drugstore. It's a nice treat to do for yourself.  Two of my favourite masks are Lush's Mask of Magnamity that clears clogged pores and tightens them, and Mario Badescu's Whitening Mask which evens out skin tone.  As well, I like to use Mario Badescu's Buffering Lotion for when I break out right before that time of the month ;)

And that's all! I try out a lot of different skin care products so the list and routine changes sometimes. But, these are products I keep going back to so I hope you enjoy them as well if you try them out!
