My Skincare Routine :)

My Skincare Routine

Today I wanted to share with you all my everyday skincare routine. Don't make fun of me for all the products I use but I do get quite a few compliments on the way that my skin looks. I am going to take you through my routine from when I wake up to right before I fall asleep. Here we go!

When I first wake up, I always wash my face with the Aveeno Clear Complexion Foam Cleanser. This is a really nice and gentle cleanser that helps to break down oils that may have accumulated on my face during the night. 

After I have washed my face, I towel dry and then apply the Aveeno Clear Complexion Moisturizer. This a very light weight moisturizer that helps to keep my skin hydrated during the day. 

Then once my moisturizer has set in, I add the Boots Vitamin E SPF15 Eye Cream under both eyes. This has a slight tint to it as well as SPF 15 that helps to keep my under eyes are protected from the sun's harmful rays. 

Now throughout the day I try really hard not to touch my face because the oils on my fingers will transfer to my face and could possibly clog my pores. If I feel that I have touched my face a lot or been sweating a lot, I may grab a cotton ball and use an astringent on my face to just help clean it up. Now I haven't found my holy grail astringent yet but right now I am using the Clean and Clear astringent for Sensitive Skin. P.S. I only do this on days that I am not wearing any face makeup (i.e. foundation, blush, bronzer, and highlighter).  

At night I take a shower and while in the shower I cleanse my face with the Aveeno Clear Complexion Cream Cleanser. Now the reason I use the cream cleanser instead of the foam one like in the morning is because the cream one is a light exfoliator. It isn't abrasive like most face exfoliators instead it has little micro-beads that do the work.

Once I am out of the shower, I towel dry my face and then use the Equate Night Time Firming Cream all over my face as well as down my neck. I rub this in pretty well and then let it set in for a few minutes. Then I go in with my Equate Advanced Firming Eye Cream and take a very very small amount and place half of the amount I took and put it under one eye and repeat on the other eye. 

This is my everyday skincare routine that works really well for me. All of the Aveeno products were recommended to me by my dermatologist. She said they are the best things you can buy over the counter for keeping your complexion in tip top condition. I hope that if you give this a try it works as well for you as it does myself.

P.S. All of these items can be found at Wal-Mart (i.e. the Aveeno products are sold at Super Wal-Marts).

as always <3,
