Yes, I have finally come back. I was set in this funk for awhile and think I have finally stepped out. While in this "funk" my skincare collection has grown, A LOT. So here is my current skincare routine. Step by step, and beware. I try out a lot of sample sized products. It's almost like a leisure activity.
For the past two months or so I haven't been washing my face in the morning. I wake up, brush my teeth (and all that jazz), then I clean my face with a cotton round drenched in Glossier's Soothing Face Mist or Thayer's Rose Petal Witch Hazel. After that I go in with my serums! I recently switched from Glossier's The Supers, to the Valjean Labs Facial Serums. I found them at my local T.J. Maxx, noticed they were very inexpensive, grabbed em' and ran! They have the same exact core ingredients as the Supers by Glossier so I said why not? Serums are really effective, but you have to give them time. The restore serum has helped my skin a lot with acne scars and dark spots. I pick at my acne a lot, which is horrible but I just can't help it. So the Zinc in the restore serum helps with clearing out impurities and excess sebum that could cause future breakouts. I use all three of these serums, just not all three on the same exact day. If I notice my skin is looking dull or dehydrated I'll go in with the glow serum. When I'm in need of some hydration, I whip out the hydrate serum and notice my skin is super bouncy after using it everynight for week.
After a serum, I follow with my now holy grail skincare product. If you didn't already know...I am very into a dewy face. So the Rose Oil Blend by Pixi Beauty has been my ultimate holy grail product. The oil blend is filled with a ton of different youth-preserving botanical oils that help with your skins elasticity and glow. I also love to add a few extra drops of it to my moisturizer. I have been using Harry's Face Lotion. I still do not know how to feel about it, but it has gotten the job done so far. Just not a favorite. Lastly, after moisturizing I go in with something I never really used much of before Glossier launched its own version of it. That is SPF! Glossier's Invisible Shield is a great SPF especially because it's clear. Yes, no white cast at all!
You might be saying what about masks Eddie? I always see photos of you in a face mask. Well, those are mostly used on weekends, unless I reaaaaalllyyy am having a skinmergency. (Yeah I just made that up) Some of my favorite masks to do on a Sunday night for a restart are, the Rare Earth Deep Pore Cleansing Mask and the Nature Powered Mask Set both by Kiehl's! They all do an amazing job at keeping my skin super radiant and gunk-free which is always great! Whenever I need a new layer of my skin to be put out in the world I go in with a more intense mask. I have loved the Kate Somerville Exfolikate Intensive Treatment or the Tata Harper Resurfacing Mask. They both do an amazing job at bringing out a new layer of skin. Next morning, my skin looks amazing and has an amazing natural glow. That is all, for now at least!
