Hey y'all! So this post is going to be dedicated to skin care.. Finally, right??
I'm going to be sharing my routine and favorite products. :-)
I try to keep it as simple as possible. You don't need a ton of products, just a few good ones.
I have normal to oily skin.. More so oily.
All products will be linked per ush.
Discount codes at the bottom.
First thing's first, these are the products I use on a daily basis.
(I don't wear makeup daily, so the products I use for removing & cleansing my face after makeup will be featured below.)
I cleanse my face daily while showering. My go-to face wash is the Garnier daily scrub, because I have combo to oily skin and feel the need to exfoliate every day to avoid buildup. This face wash has mint in it, so it makes your face feel cold and tingly.. I'm not sure why, but I love that.
I rub some all over my face and then use my Sephora face brush.. I rotate sides on different days, I only use the brush side 2-3 times a week to avoid skin irritation. The pink side is less abrasive than the brush side.
After showering, I use bio oil in any extra dry areas.. Bio Oil is also great for stretch marks, scars, and preventing ingrown hairs. It's a holy grail product in my opinion. I've been using it for over 3 years.
I moisturize my whole body with the Vaseline Cocoa Radiant Lotion. I really love the Cocoa Radiant line, I use quite a few of the products, and love them all. I love the smell of cocoa butter and think that this lotion is super moisturizing. I use it daily after showering.
The Garnier eye roller and Clean & Clear spot treatment I use as needed. The Garnier eye roller is amazing if your eyes are a little puffy or swollen from not enough sleep or even if you've been wearing eye makeup a lot your lids can get a little swollen or irritated, I use it for that too.. The spot treatment is pretty self explanatory, I use it to spot treat any breakouts before applying my facial moisturizer.
A spot treatment type product is a staple in any facial routine, because let's be real, there's no woman on Earth so flawless that she doesn't breakout around "that time" of the month.. And by "that time" I mean the dreaded time when you hate everyone and pretty much want to die. :-)
I use the green Moisture Rescue Gel-Creme, which is for "normal skin", I've also tried the pink version for "dry" skin and really can't tell a difference between the 2. So I go for the green because mint is my favorite color, obvi.
I prefer gel face lotions because I am typically oily and it helps prevent additional oil and breakouts. :-)
Also, sitting here typing it, I really am not sure why it's called a "Gel-Creme", it's a gel..
Now... When I am wearing makeup, I always clean my face first in the shower. I use the pink side of my face brush prior to doing my makeup, because I will use the brush side when taking it off. You don't want to over exfoliate your skin because it can cause it be more oily and/ or breakout.
Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Gel - Click Here
I really love the Clinique Moisturizing Gel. The Gel version is for oily skin and it's AHHHHMAZING!!! I use this to moisturize before applying my makeup, especially in the summer it does a killer job at controlling my oil throughout the day.
Neutrogena Hydrating Makeup Remover Towelettes - Click Here
When it's time to remove my makeup... :'( Such a sad time.
I start with these Neutrogena wipes, they get off majority of my makeup and don't irritate my skin.
After, I use my Garnier face wash & Sephora face brush to deeper clean my skin and pores, because there is ALWAYS some makeup hanging on for dear life after using a remover wipe. ;-)
It's super important to always wash your face, using a remover wipe isn't enough! Please believe me!
Aveeno Positively Radiant Cleansing Pads - Click Here
After I wash my face, I use these Aveeno pads to just go over my face 1 more time, and grab anything that may be left on my face. They are pre-moistened, 1 side of the pad is smooth, and the other is bumpy to lightly exfoliate. I typically only use these when cleaning my face after wearing makeup. I picked these up to try as that "third step" that isn't too harsh on my face, and I have been using these for a couple weeks and so far I really like them. I can already tell a difference in the size of my pores!! That's major.
Once I rub my face some with each side of the pad, I rinse my face then pat it dry with a towel.
After cleaning my face I moisturize with my Garnier Face Moisturizer, or the Clinique one if I am having a breakout or feeling more oily than usual.
That's pretty much it for my routine and the products I use constantly. I'm going to drop a few of my other skin care favorites right below... I don't use them all of the time, but I love them all the same!
:-)
Vaseline Cocoa Radiant Spray Moisturizer - Click Here
These 2 were moisturizing saviors for me this past summer. With tanning, swimming, and the humidity my skin was feeling thirsty!! This body gel gave my skin life!!! It makes your skin so soft and shiny. It does leave you feeling a little "oily" or "greasy" so I don't pack it on, I just do a light layer.. I've even used it this winter. It's so good! I've also used it as a "skin treatment" type thing... I applied it after a late night bath and then slept with it on... It worked wonders.
The spray lotion is basically my "lazy go-to".. Lol.. Don't judge me.
If I'm in a rush (because I am always late to everything) or don't feel like taking the time to rub lotion in, I use this.
I just spray it and it rubs in super fast.. Simples
I use this occasionally if I am feeling like my pores are clogged or there's buildup on my skin. I haven't used it much since I started using the Aveeno pads, but this use to be my first step in cleansing my face of makeup.
Annnnd that's all folks!! Haha
I hope y'all find this helpful/ informative. These products and routine have worked well for my sometimes sensitive and overly oily skin.
If you're sensitive and can breakout easily, definitely try Garnier. Their products were the only thing my face liked for a while.
As always, any questions or suggestions you can drop in the comments below or in a private contact form from the nav bar! :-)
I would love to hear from readers.
XO,
