ASKED BY YOU: My skin care routine + tips
11:34:00 AM
I had a request to do a skin care routine awhile back and today I am finally sharing my secrets with you! I'm totally kidding, I don't have any secrets when it comes to my skin... I don't even have a regular routine. All I really can say is that I've been genetically blessed to not have to deal with any acne/blemishes for the most part (shouts out to mom + dad, y'all got my back). The ladies at Sephora always ask me what foundation I wear and I love the looks on their faces when I say I don't wear any on a regular day. However, I'm not off the hook either. I tend to have really dry skin which requires some moisturizing.
Above are the products I use night and day - a washcloth, moisturizer, cotton balls/cotton pads and toner. Firstly, whether it be day or night, I always start with washing my face and lightly scrubbing with a washcloth and a Dermalogica scrub (followed by drying off with a towel).
Next, I spray toner on a cotton pad and dab it on.. Though, I don't use toner everyday/night. I recently started experimenting with it after I saw it laying around in my bathroom, but so far it's been great.
The last thing is moisturizing. I think you all know how much I love Dermalogica products, but more so, their active moisture moisturizer is the best! You may remember it from a previous post about contouring.
.... And that's about all! There you have it! Something, but nothing special about my skin care 'routine'.
MY PERSONAL TIPS:
DRINK LOTS OF WATER - stay hydrated because it keeps your skin hydrated as well!
Always wear sunscreen - Always. On your face, on your hands... anywhere the sun can target! UV rays will hit you even when the sun isn't out.
Wash your makeup off before bed - I used to sleep with makeup on until I realized that it probably isn't healthy to keep it on at all times. It can and will age your skin! Besides, who doesn't love the feeling of having a fresh face? DON'T SCRUB YOUR FACE HARD... instead be light and gentle.
I wrote this all while listening to a Backstreet Boys greatest hits playlist on youtube. It was so hard to sit and concentrate on writing to you guys about my skin while resisting the urge to dance.. Just thought I'd say. Haha.
