MY DAILY SKINCARE ROUTINE…
Besides being a makeup junkie, I am also obsessed with skin care products. I joke that is a hobby of mine to find and use skin products that actually work!! I’ve been going to the dermatologist for years now, and have been using skincare products since the 6th grade! haha I have a strict skin routine that I do EVERY single day.
I don’t think I’ve ever missed a day! One of best skin tips I’ve heard over and over again, is to always wash your face before bed and never sleep with makeup on. I never fall asleep with my makeup on, and no matter how tired I am I always force myself to do it. During sleep, your skin is turning over and rejuvenating skin cells. So it’s important to not let the makeup sit and soak into your pores. Also, to prevent breaking out I wash my face brushes about once a week with a dishwasher soap. It pulls all the grease, dirt and oils out of the brushes and keeps them sanitary. I also keep my brushes separated from my makeup to prevent them from getting dirty so I won’t break out. Drinking TONS of water all day also helps keep my skin hydrated, glowy, and pimple free. During my pregnancy, I broke out the first trimester SO much. It was so hard to deal with and I didn’t want to go anywhere because it bothered me so much. I couldn’t use a lot of acne products, but I found the Belli skincare line which is made for pregnant women’s skin. It kept my skin clear the rest of my pregnancy!
I recently discovered Cacay Naturals when they reached out to me to try out their product. I tested it out for over a month, and honestly have been loving the results. Throughout my pregnancy and even after birth, my skin has been really dry and lacks luster. I’ve also noticed fine lines due to my skin being more dry. I have been incorporating my anti-aging Cacay oil into my nightly routine along with moisturizer. It has helped so much diminish the fine lines on my forehead and under my eyes! I also love how this is the pure oil and is 100% natural and 100% organic. It has 50% more vitamin E than Argan Oil, twice the amount of Linoeic Acid than Argan Oil, and 3 times more Retinol than Rose Hip Oil.
Here is what my skin routine looks like:
MORNING:
Step 1: Wash face with Gentle Cetaphil face cleanser with warm water and washcloth.
Step 2: Spray Caudalie Beauty Elixir all over face. I let it soak into my skin for a minute.
Step 3: Apply OSEA Atmosphere protecting cream
Step 4: Apply Supergoop SPF 50 Sunscreen. I apply at least an SPF 20+ every single day- even when it is cloudy outside. I also apply it to my neck and chest as well.
NIGHTLY ROUTINE:
Step 1: Wipe off all my makeup with Neutrogena wipes and use Neutrogena eye makeup remover.
Step 2: Cleanse my face, neck and chest with Cetaphil cleanser and my Clarisonic.
Step 3: Gently pat skin dry
Step 4: I use a cotton ball to swipe Mario Badescu Glycol Acid Toner all over my face.
Apply Cacay Oil all over skin- let it soak into skin
Step 4: Apply Strivectin Face Cream and Strivectin Tightening Neck Cream. I then apply StriVectin Tightening Neck Serum Roller. I switch off sometimes with Glam Glow moisturizer!
Step 5: I apply Lancome eye cream around my eyes.
*I apply a mask twice a week! I LOVE these two masks: Glam Glow mask and Fresh Umbrian Clay Purifying mask*
