My Morning Skin Routine

 

Hello.

I hope that today finds you well. It FINALLY feels like spring around here. This past Friday is when it happened. In the morning, it was 49 degrees out. We had the heat on. By late afternoon it was over 80 degrees, and we had to put the AC on. I am not complaining at all though. I LOVE this time of year.

Anyway, today I wanted to share my morning skin care routine with you.  Back in my younger days I had no "Morning skin care routine". Heck, back then my nightly skin care routine was nothing more than washing my makeup off. Now, that just won't cut it. In order to keep my skin looking and feeling its best, I need to put in a bit more effort.

Now, don't be mistaken. My morning routine is not long, drawn out or complicated. In fact, its quick, easy and seamless. Here is an overview.

Paula's Choice BHA liquid

As soon as I get out of the shower, I swipe my face with a cotton ball that is saturated with this magical potion.

I've ALWAYS been prone to clogged pores, particularly on my nose and chin. This has all but eliminated that problem.

Glow Recipe Hyaluronic Serum

Next, I use this Hyaluronic serum. This is such an amazing hydrator. It literally plumps your skin. A little bit of this goes a long way and works wonders. Aside from the moisturizing benefits, this potion reduces those pesky fine lines.

Murad Essential C

This right here is my product holy grail. I wear it EVERY.SINGLE. DAY.  It doesn't matter what the season is, sunscreen is essential. This is SPF 30. It also is infused with vitamin C. Vitamin C is an anti aging power house. It brightens skin and increases elasticity. Each and every time I've tried to use vitamin C prior to discovering this product, it would end up being too drying / irritating.  This is also a powerful moisturizer , therefor no drying.

** Bonus Item**......

Earth Harbor Anti-pollution serum

If my skin is in need of some extra TLC, this is what I reach for.  Its beyond soothing.

There you have it, my quick, easy but EFFECTIVE morning skin care routine.
