Hey little chicks! The wait is finally over! My most requested post everrr<\/strong> is here… MY SKINCARE ROUTINE! First, let me just say how flattered I am that you babes think I have beautiful skin. Like, thank you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For this post, I have decided to include both my morning and night skincare steps. I will also list some products I occasionally use at the end!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I just want to make clear that none of these products are sponsored. I have bought everything myself, and I have been using these products on my own for a year or longer. In no way, shape or form have any of these companies reached out or influenced me using them. *This post does contain some affiliate links through LikeToKnowIt, where I have potential to make a small commission at NO extra cost to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So without further ado, let’s dive in!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Morning Routine<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Most mornings I am usually still half asleep. I try to keep my skincare routine simple and effective. I take a dime size amount of my Tula Purifying Face Cleanser<\/a> and massage it into my face with warm water. Once I rinse off and pat dry, I then will apply a serum all over my face. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have a few favorite serum brands, and alternate buying different ones. I am a big fan of affordable serum! One of my favorite serums is by Measurable Difference<\/em><\/a>.<\/em> I love their Vitamin C Serum<\/a>, Collagen & Retinol Serum<\/a> and Hyaluronic Acid<\/a>. Another brand I am a big fan of is, The Ordinary<\/em>. They have a really good and inexpensive Retinol Serum<\/a>, and I am also currently using the Ethylated Absorbic Acid 15%<\/a> (direct acting form of Vitamin C). I will say that the Vitamin C by The Ordinary <\/em>is more of an oil texture than serum. The last brand of serum I really like is by Valjean Labs<\/em>. The Revive<\/a> and Hydrate<\/a> options are two of the best.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After serum is applied, I go ahead and moisturize my eye area. A clean beauty option I use is Dr Roebuck’s Down Under Collagen Boosting Eye Treatment.<\/a> Although it is $38, the container size is pretty abundant and double the size of a lot of eye creams on the market. I do not use this often though, because I do find it to be a thick moisturizer. I would recommend it more for the dryer months. Another under eye cream I am actually obsessed with is SkinLab’s Lift & Firm Eye Gel<\/a>. This gel is so lightweight and cooling. It rubs in quickly too. I found this gem at Marshall’s for only $6.99! If you are unable to find it at your local Tjmaxx or Marshall’s, I have found some links for you! If you are more of a drugstore type of gal, Olay Eyes Deep Hydrating Eye Gel<\/a> is a great choice too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once my serum has absorbed into my skin and I have applied my eye cream, it is now time for my final step…moisturizing my face! I have a few face creams that I loveeee at different price points. I usually use my Tula Hydrating Day & Night Cream<\/a>. I love this cream because it is light feeling, while delivering deep hydration. My little sister is obsessed with it too. On days where I want a lighter feeling moisturizer, I use the Tula Aqua Infusion Oil-Free Gel Cream<\/a>. I love the gel feeling and it’s really great as a summer time skincare product. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I completely understand Tula<\/em> is more of a higher end skincare line when it comes to price point. There are two other face creams that I love, and they are about $10-15 cheaper. If you have not tried Olay Whips yet, like what are you waiting for?! It is seriously the best! I use the Olay Regenerist Whip<\/a>. It is so light and fluffy! It smells amazing and leaves my face feeling soft as a baby’s tooshie! I also really like the True Cream Aqua Bomb by Belif.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a recap: I wash my face with cleanser, use serum, moistures my eye area, then moisturize my whole face! In this exact order! Simple as that!<\/p>\n\n\n
