Hello beauties.
I get quite a few questions regarding my morning and evening skincare routine and what I do to maintain such clear, glowing skin, so I thought I’d share my routine with all of my faves.
In the morning I cleanse my face with bareMinerals Deep Cleansing Foam. This facewash is super gentle and forms a nice, creamy lather. It removes makeup and rebalances your skin leaving a smooth complexion with a gorgeous glow. After I cleanse my face, I hydrate with Sephora’s Ultimate Moisture Serum layered under bareMinerals Purely Nourishing Moisturzer for Combination Skin. This combination of moisturizers really keeps my skin feel hydrated all day long. Once I have cleansed and moisturized my face, I like to use Clinique’s City Block Sheer SPF 25 Oil-Free Daily Face Protector- it’s super important that I protect my face from the sun’s super harsh rays.
Daytime Skin Routine
In the evening I use my bareMinerals Deep Cleansing Foam (again) to remove any remaining makeup that my facial cleansing cloths did not remove. Once my face is squeaky clean, I use The Microdelivery Exfoliating Wash by Philosophy. I use the exfoliating wash as more of a scrub vs. a cleanser, which is why I also use my bareMinerals cleanser first. However, this exfoliating wash is gentle enough to be used daily as a cleanser. I follow with my Ultimate Moisture Serum by Sephora layered under Sephora’s Age Defy Night Moisture Cream. This anti-aging night cream boosts cell growth and minimizes the look of fine lines and wrinkles, while leaving my skin looking radiant and feeling super moisturized.
Nighttime Skin Routine
I highly recommend finding a skincare routine that works for you and your skin type. All of the products that I’m currently using will be repurchased when the time comes. I love the way they make my skin look and feel.

What about the facial cleansing cloths you briefly mentioned?
I’m currently using Equate Original Clean Facial Cleansing Towelettes that I purchased from Walmart for around $6 for a two pack. I believe there are 60 towelettes/pack. The towelettes are alcohol and oil free and they have a clean, fresh fragrance. I highly recommend.
And you START with those at night? On eyes, too? Do you use any kind of toner (I use Clinique’s clarifying lotion- not necessary? too harsh? – your opinion?)?
I use the cleansing towelettes on my entire face before I hop in the shower at night- mostly use them to remove my makeup. I’m currently not using a toner, but if you’re using a toner as part of a 3 step system, then I would continue to use it. I’ve used Clinique’s 3 Step in the past and I liked it. So, if you like it and like the way it makes your skin feel, then continue to use it. If it’s not broke, don’t fix it!
Also, where do you purchase & find deals on these products?
I’m a BIG fan of Sephora!!! I get a lot of my higher end products from Sephora or sephora.com. I have been shopping a lot at Target, Walmart and Walgreens for most of my drugstore products. If I’m trying something for the first time, I like to look for coupons or items on sale. Then if I don’t end up liking something, I haven’t paid full price for the item. However, if I end up liking or loving something, I repurchase at full price.
Thanks for your help and advice!
Anytime. keep the questions coming. Thanks for following my blog!
