Boy howdy! Let’s be honest! When we are tired or stressed or whatever, our skin often shows it first. . . am I right? I’ve had several people reach out and ask about my skincare routine. First off, you guys are the sweetest! There are a few seriously easy secrets I’ve learned over the years that have been a lifesaver. And SHHHHH, . . . well, heck no! Share away! This should NOT be a secret at all. Our Skin is our BIGGEST Organ you guys. In other words, let’s take care of it!
Secrets Tips to Healthy, Glowing Skin
- Water, water and more water. I know, we’ve all heard this and I’m sure at this point it may be annoying. Truly, this makes a HUGE difference. It didn’t happen overnight by any means however, I try to always aim for a minimum of 100 oz of water in a day. Water helps flush the toxins, gives us more energy and clears that skin!
- Wash your face EVERY SINGLE NIGHT. Yup, ya heard it here folks! Just think, if you’re not cleaning your face, you have makeup, oils and dirt from the day (not to mention pollution – UGH!) just baking into your skin overnight. Use a gentle cleanser or I actually use baby wipes. And if I happen to have heavier makeup on for an event (or Halloween), I will use a very gentle makeup remover.
- Toner. I didn’t use a toner for most of my life and I always had breakouts. Maybe they weren’t huge, but I could see them and it made me uncomfortable. Since I’ve been using a toner, my skin has been so much happier. It keeps breakouts to a minimum and sets my skin up for a moisturizer. Also with a toner, I notice my moisturizer is lasting a lot longer. Currently, I’m using Skin & Co Roma’s Truffle Therapy. It smells divine and leaves my skin feeling so soft.
- Moisturizer. After using a cotton swab to apply my toner, I follow up with a moisturizer. Currently, I’m in love with Avon’s Anew Platinum Night Cream for my face, Anew Clinical Eye Lift Pro for my eyes and Anew Platinum Firm and Sculpt Cream for my neck and chest. (I know these are my Nighttime Routine tips, but the Anew Hydra Fusion Daily Beauty Defense Sunscreen Lotion SPF 50 is AH-mazing!! I even use it on my kiddos.) I have fairly sensitive skin and am often sensitive to scents as well. These are my current go-to as they are light, but keep me moisturized in our desert climate. If you’d like to check these particular favorites out, go HERE. Michelle is awesome and can definitely answer your questions too. Honestly, try different products out! See what works best for your skin. I’ve actually been approached by a company to test a few new things. Excited!? Ummm, of course! So, stay tuned.
- Jade Roller. Ok you guys, I have been on the fence on this one. However, when I actually remember to use this, it just feels so darn good! After all my products are on, I gently use my jade roller using outward motions. Honestly, I have no idea if I’m doing it right! HA! I just know it feels super relaxing. However, I’m SUPER excited, because I have a special treat for you guys! . . . Ready!? I’m doing a special collaboration with my beautiful and brilliant cousin, Emily. She is a genius when it comes to makeup and skincare! She “pushes the boundaries of wearable makeup” and I LOVE it! She will be doing a video for us on how to use these beautiful Jade Rollers and I will be sure to post it here. So, be sure to check back! In the meantime, check out her Channel HERE. *YAY!!! UPDATE!! See her video below.
- BONUS TIP: Life gets busy! I get it! Trust me, I’ve been there. There are so many nights that I get the kids down, finally, and I just want to crash. However, taking care of your skin is a very basic form of self-love. You deserve it! Love yourself. Love your skin. Love yourself from the inside out.
