Skincare Faves
I never really had a true skincare routine since the beginning of 2020. After I was furloughed from my job for a few months, I had some spare time to actually try out some products and see what would work for me. I struggled with adult acne (detailed in another blog post) for as long as I have been an adult. Once I got my skin issues under control, I wanted to develop a skincare regimen and truly take care of my skin. I tried out several cleansers, toners, lotions, and serums, and finally found ones that I love. Linking all of my favorites below, or just click on the picture above to shop them all.
Clinique Cleansing Balm
This cleansing balm is amazing for removing makeup, and doesn’t leave my skin feeling oily. I take about a spoonful size of product and rub it into my face until completely covered. Then, I use a warm cloth to remove the makeup and balm from my face. I also like Elemis's cleansing balm, but it does make my skin feel a bit oily.
Elemis Cleanser & Toner
I love this gentle balancing lime blossom cleanser and balancing lavender toner from Elemis! I used harsher cleansers in the past and realized that was a huge mistake. This combo works great for my skin and I feel super refreshed after using them.
Tula moisturizer & eye Balm
I jumped on the massively popular Tula bandwagon a few months ago, and I haven’t looked back. There is a reason this brand is so popular! The 24/7 hydrating cream leaves my skin extremely soft and hydrated. I apply this eye balm multiple times a day, and even before bed. It depuffs and calms redness almost instantly.
Dermaroller & Vitamin C Serum
I use this dermaroller once or twice a week to help with acne scarring and to rejuvenate my skin. My skin texture has improved a ton, and I have definitely noticed improvements in scarring. I apply this vitamin c serum immediately after, and then follow up with the Tula moisturizer.
