My Simple Skincare Routine

I never have had the best skin – throughout middle and high school I felt with acne and redness, and now they flare up on occasion. when I started consistently using better products I noticed such a difference! I have rounded up all the products I aim to use on a daily basis as well as ones I use for specific flare-ups! I organized everything in steps for the products I use everyday.

{ MAKE-UP REMOVING }

Micellar Water

I use this in addition to cotton pads to remove my make up! It is much cheaper than using make-up wipes.

Pixi Skintreats Glow Tonic

I discovered this after winning it in an instagram giveaway! I use this toner after I remove my make up before I wash my face and it helps to make my skin extra clean and hydrated.

{ CLEANSING }

Foreo Luna Mini 2

This product is a game change!! I got this face cleansing device around Christmas and have loved it. Since then I have noticed my skin was smoother and break out less often. It is so easy to use – you just press the button and rub the device in circles on your skin. It gets my skin clean and feels like a facial massage at the same time. I got the mini 2 since it is rechargeable, although I haven’t needed to charge it yet! Right now it is on sale and comes in a bunch of colors!

Philosophy Purity Cleanser

I use this in days I wear make up after I have taken it off. It is such a great cleanser!

Clinique Take They Day Off Cleansing Balm

I don’t use this as often as I use the other 2 cleansers but it is great for travel and not as messy – it is a balm which is different!

Clinique Redness Solutions Cleanser

I use this as an everyday cleanser and it has helped significantly in decreasing redness. I would recommend using this along with the moisturizer below. I use this on the days I don’t wear make up/before I apply make up.

{ MOISTURIZING }

Clinique Redness Solutions Daily Relief Cream

I use this moisturizer every day and it helps a ton with redness in addition to the face cleanser.

{ EXFOLIATING }

Lush Don’t Look At Me Mask

I use this about once per week – this is my favorite mask from Lush. The blue helps to tone out the redness!

Fresh Cosmetics Umbrian Clay Purifying Face Exfoliant

I loveee this exfoliant! You can wash it off immediately like a cleanser or use it as a mask, which I tend to do more often.

Clinique City Block Purifying Charcoal Clay Mask

I have used Clinique’s other charcoal mask and several from other brands and nothing compares to this one!

{ Murad Acne Solution Spot Treatment }

This spot treatment works SO fast to remove blemishes – I always use then when I have a flare-up spot and it always works!
