My 5 Step Skin Care Routine
Skin care is important to living a healthy lifestyle! What you do now, effects you today, tomorrow, and in 20 years from now. Not establishing a skincare routine to you can lead to problems such as early-aging, breakouts, and blemishes on your face. Even if you are someone who never has breakouts, it is still important that you take care of your skin now so you don’t have problems down the road. With that being said, I have officially mastered my everyday skincare routine, and I am here to share it with you. Everyone’s skin is different. Just because I certain product or routine works for me, does not mean it will work for you. It is important that you figure out what type of skin you have and talk to a professional to see what products they recommend. Is you skin often oily? Are you always dry and your skin is cracking? Do you experience both? Or is your skin constantly breaking out? These are all important questions to ask yourself before buying any products. The products have a purpose and so should you! I have listed out my 5 step skin care routine for you, what products I use, and why it works for me!
Cleanser: Artistry Skin Nutrition Renewing Foam Cleanser
This near 5-star product will leave your skin refreshed and smooth. Often times, cleaners leave your face feeling tough and dried out, but this cleanser does the exact opposite. This product is extremely gentle on your face and will leave a smooth, radiant finish to your skin.
Toner: Artistry Skin Nutrition Renewing Softening Toner
This toner is another almost 5-star product. I apply my toner with a cotton pad directly after I cleanse my face because it will get off any residue, dirt, or makeup that you cleanser did not previously get off. This does not mean your cleanser is bad if you still have a little bit of residue still on your face. A cleanser only really cleans the top layer of your skin, while a toner is a bit stronger and cleans the face at a deeper level. This toner is said to leave your skin the smoothest and softest its ever been! It will also soften any wrinkles or lines on your face.
Ferulic Brew: Kiehls Antioxidant Facial Treatment with Lactic Acid
This product works to evenly smooth and tighten your face by reducing any lines or parts of aging on your face. It also increases the amount of collagen production. It leaves your face with a healthy-looking glow and adds an immense amount of hydration to your skin to prevent it from drying out from any makeup products that you use.
Eye Cream: Artistry Skin Nutrition Renewing Reactivation Eye Cream
Eye cream is one of those products that everyone seems to look over. It is such a small step, but it is an extremely important one. I can't help but use all of these 5-star products! If you are a working woman (or man) like me, there are nights where you might not get a lot of sleep or your stressed from everything else going on, dark circles or lines may begin to appear on your upper eye. That’s nothing eye cream can’t fix though! This eye cream works to reduce the appearance of dark circles, lines, aging, or blemishes on your under eye. Trust me… it works like magic!
Moisturizer: Artistry Skin Nutrition Renewing Reactivation Cream
This anti-aging moisturizer with SPF 15 is a step that can’t be skipped. It is important that everyday you have some sort of SPF on your skin. It does not need to be sunny and 80 for you to put on SPF on your face. Any time your skin is directly exposed to the sun, it is damaging. I gently moisturize this into my skin and neck in an upward to motion to prevent my skin from drooping or getting pulled down.
BONUS STEP: Olivia Palermo Beauty- Pre-Show Mattifying Mist
The fastest step of them all, so why skip it? Quickly spraying your face with this beautiful setting spray nourishes the skin while also setting it up for any makeup that is coming next. It leaves you skin with a beautiful matte look and keeps your skin refreshed all day long.
