Skincare Routine!

YAAY! Finally! I have some spare time today, so I'm going to show my entire skincare routine in this blog post. I DO use ALOT of products, my mom says i'm OCD about my skin, but I just want my skin to look it's best!

As a side note; I have combination skin, meaning i'm oily in the T-Zone and dry underneath my eyes and on my cheeks. If you have a similar skin type then this routine shall help you greatly :)

STEP 1:

Cleanse! I use Cetaphil Gentle Cleanser. I heard about how great it was through makeup artist Sarah Uslan who was trained by the great Bobbi Brown herself. She was told by her Hollywood dermatologist that this is the product he recommends to everyone, even celebrities! So that reassured me! I use this 2x a day, and I find that it is extremely gentle, it has no fragrance, and doesn't irritate my skin.

STEP 2:

TONE! I use the Body Shop's Tea Tree Toner, which is incredible. It is a natural disinfectant that is known to kill head lice, and any sort of bacteria; which is great for us who are prone to acne! The tea tree is wonderful at going deep into the pores and killing any bacteria that causes breakouts. This is a magical product, and it's very affordable; $10. Definitely give it a try if your looking to clear your skin.

STEP 3:

TREAT! If I'm going to do a mask on this particular day, then this step comes before moisturizing. I will do a pore cleansing mask 3-4x a week to really clean my pores so that there is no leftover bacteria! I use a combination of 2 products... Queen Helene Mint Julep Mask and Formula 10.0.6 Deep Down Detox. I use the Mint Julep Mask on areas that I feel need to be cleansed more/ areas where breakouts usually occur.. then I use the Formula 10.0.6 Mask on areas that I'd like to brighten and clean as well.

The Detox mask is great at brightening the skin, due to it's high level of Orange and Bergamot used. The Vitamin C in the orange helps to brighten the complexion and leave it refreshed.

After letting the mask dry for 15 mins.. I wash it off with warm water.

STEP 4:

MOISTURIZE! Moisturizing is a crucial step in any effective skincare routine; no matter what skin type you have. Even if you have oily skin like me, you still need to be moisturizing, or your skin will simply produce MORE oil!

I use the well loved Embryolisse Lait Creme (24- Hr Cream) which I purchased from Jordane Cosmetics. I ADORE THIS! I cannot express how amazing it is; the moment i rubbed it into my skin, it felt like silk. I felt my face 5 mins later and it felt like a baby! Give this cream a try if you have any sort of dryness AT ALL. I rarely have dryness, apart from underneath my eyes, which means this cream will last even longer for me! You only have to use the littlest amount; what ever can fit onto the tip of your finger, is all you need. TRUST me, go buy this :)

ALSO, I usually use my Clinique All About Eyes Cream, but ever since I purchased the Embryolisse Cream, I haven't needed the extra moisture around my eyes. Embryolisse is amazing, it's so gentle that it can even be used on babies! If you have sensitive, ezema prone, or dry skin; give this a go. Even those of you with oily skin will love it, in moderation of course; people with oily skin will only need the smallest amount of this cream.
