Hello Beautiful Skin

It’s All About Your Skin Care Routine

Wanting to Look beautiful and having a healthy appearance is something that I would say most of us have in common. Whether you want to have flawless looking skin or you want to have bouncy, full and flowing hair. It all comes down to having a routine and the right products in hand. You can have your dream skin and a healthy appearance, it all starts with you.

Yes, it does seem simple, but a lot of people cant seem to find the motivation to start a routine or cant seem to maintain their motivation to in the end create a good routine for themselves, that in turn fits in to their personal lives and gives them great looking skin. Most people struggle with not having enough time because of work, others have kids, and some are just bombarded with so many daily activities that they just cannot seem to find the right time. I know from personal experience that working and trying to follow any other type of routine can be very challenging. Especially after work when people come home and are very tired and just want to lay in bed, eat chips, and watch their favorite TV show. It can also be very challenging to establish a healthy appearance routine if you have kids. A lot of my friends have kids and I see how hard it is to do simple everyday things such as cooking, going to the store and much more. I definitely understand the struggle, but there are alternatives that we will discuss here.

To establish a skin care routine, you should first do some research on what skin care products you would like to try out depending on your skin concerns, such as acne, dry skin, dullness, redness ect. you can also start by taking a look at the products I talk about below and see if any of them spark your interest. once you have an idea of what products you would like to use you can try to establish a time every day to use the products. If you work you can try to incorporate using the products in the morning before work, or after work before bed. Always think about your end goal and results if you need a little motivation.

Below are my reviews on different skin and makeup products that would do wonders for your skin, which one would you try out? I would love to know! please COMMENT, SHARE, and SUBSCRIBE.

The best way to maintain your skin looking flawless and acne free is by taking care of it and of course pampering it. First of you have to find a really good exfoliator and/or cleanser. One of my favorites is from the “Philosophy” brand and it’s called purity. It’s a very gentle cleanser and gets deep down into your pores to remove excess dirt, impurities and most importantly makeup. As far as exfoliators go the brand “Clinique” has an exfoliating scrub which is great when it comes to removing dead skin cells from your skin that can cause your skin to look dull. The best part about it is that is specially formulated for oily and combination skin types which are much more prone to acne blemishes. I usually go to my local Sephora, but you can actually get the same products at Ulta sometimes for less :).

Toning Fun, Toning Fun, Toning Fun

Now after cleansing or exfoliating you have to follow with a hypoallergenic toner. A toner works to really get down into your pores to lift impurities and to give your face a calming sensation from congested pores. Toning your skin also helps keep a good balance on the skin and prevents your skin from producing excess sebum. A step you definitely should not skip. one of my favorite toners is a drug store brand “Clean & Clear” Deep Cleaning toner for sensitive skin. Its under ten dollars and you can get it from your local drug store. If you’re looking for a more high end toner a great one is from “Kiehl’s” Calendular herbal extract alcohol free toner. This product does wonders calming redness of the skin and controlling oil, would highly recommend.

I Love Moisturizer

Moisturizing your face after toning is extremely necessary in order to maintain your skins elasticity and to prevent wrinkles. Not to mention, it hydrates your skin leaving it very soft and energized. My favorite moisturizer is from “Clinique”. If you haven’t noticed I love the brand Clinique because the products really improve the overall quality of your skin. This moisturizer is called Dramatically different moisturizing lotion. It is very hydrating and leaves your skin looking flawless. You can even use it as a makeup primer under your makeup on days when you’re in a rush. Something I’ve learned recently is that you can also use organic cold pressed all natural coconut oil to moisturize your face and to remove makeup!. Coconut oil is so thin that it really penetrates into your pores to give you the moisture you so crave. It’s an antibacterial oil, therefore it works killing acne causing bacteria on your skin. It’s a great alternative, my favorite brand is from Trader Joes.

Primer

For a long time I did not believe in primers, but after using “Smashbox” Photo finish pore minimizing primer I became a believer. Making sure that you use a primer before applying makeup like foundation, powders and concealers is really important because it creates a smooth canvas for makeup to be able to glide right onto your face and give you that full coverage look with no imperfections. Primers make your makeup look amazing and make it last longer too.

Foundation and concealer

My favorite part of the routine has to be this one. My all time favorite foundation is by Josie Maran “Vibrancy”. Its a great foundation if you have acne scars, this foundation would do a great job covering those up. Makes your face look energized and awake when you apply with or without primer. As far as concealer goes I’m currently obsessed with Tarte’s shape tape concealer. Its amazing for covering up under eye bags and when you get it a tone or two darker than your skin tone it does wonders covering up imperfections from acne blemishes.

Powder and Setting spray

The last two steps to your best skin yet are these two holy grails. I cannot live without these two products. Currently Obsessing over Almay’s loose setting powder in medium. This powder works great, setting your foundation and concealer flawlessly for way less touch ups throughout the day.

The setting spray I’m currently crazy for is Mario Badesku’s Rose water. Rose water not only sets your makeup perfectly giving you flawless dewy looking skin, but its so beneficial for your skin it has nutrients that calm congestion and inflammation on your skin. You can even use it throughout the day to keep your makeup looking fresh all day.
