SKIN CARE DAILY ROUTINE

day time:

–I always start with a fresh wash. I wash with thisLHA CLEANSER  with hydroxy acids in it. Gentle but keeps your skin from minor breakouts and keeps dull skin at bay. Always apply a vitamin C serum under your moisturizer. Let the vitamin c serum absorb into your skin for one minute before applying moisturizer on top. Next apply moisturizer. Then apply  Physical Matte UV Defense sunscreen on top of moisturizer. The vitamin C serum works as an extra defense against sun and environmental factors that cause aging. Vitamin C is so important in your daily routine to keep your skin from losing elasticity, collagen, prevents wrinkles and helps brown spots. I found a vitamin c that is affordable and delivers all the ingredients I look for in a C product. It’s just as great as the expensive Skinceutical product. I always complete my day time routine with eye cream(Bye Bye Under Eye Cream) before starting my make up. ps – for those that get melasma like me, use THIS SUNSCREEN. Formulated for melasma and hyperpigmenation prone skin.

night time:

-I always start my night skin care routine with 2 cleanses. WASH YOUR FACE TWICE! The first cleanse will clean off make up/impurities  and the second cleanse will actually clean your skin. Both important. I love this GENTLE FACE WASH and this FOAMING FACE WASH.

I apply retinol  Capsules (Line Erasing Night Serum) on my freshly clean skin. This is the correcting step. Use every other night while your skin gets used to the retinol. You will flake and be a tiny bit pink. I like these capsules because they are mixed retin-a and with a correcting serum. It’s not too strong. Some people make the mistake of using a Retin-A that is too strong, leaving their skin irritated, peeling and more sun sensitive. Don’t do that! Start out with a lower dose of retin-a. Next I apply moisturizer. Triple Lipid Restore first then my (Bye Bye Under Eye Cream). I use the OLAY REGENERIST on my neck and chest. So important!! Don’t miss your neck or chest. I started buying Regenerist because it’s an unbelieable product that I can always pick up at the drug store and it won’t break the bank. I can’t afford to use triple lipid on my entire body like J Lo. lol
