What Products You Need for the Best Skincare Routine

You guys asked for this one and I had to share because I finally have a skincare routine I’m proud of.

I never used to really have one because let’s be real: It can be overwhelming because there’s so many products out there to chose from.

And when you’re new to something, and know nothing about it, you tend to put off figuring it out.

I cannot even tell you how much better my skin is now that I’ve developed a routine and have become more consistent with it and the products I choose to use.

I am way more confident now without any makeup on than I’ve ever been before.

Plus, it saves me so much time time and effort not having to wear makeup everyday.

My skin also thanks me.

Keep on reading for all the skincare routine details.

I wanted to start off by sharing with you my Morning Skincare Routine.

After I wakeup in the morning, I normally go through my full morning oral care routine.

After I’m finished in the bathroom, I make my bed and guzzle a ton of water.

Then I pull my hair up and begin my morning skincare routine after I thoroughly wash my hands (you don’t wanna be rubbing oily fingers all over your face).

 

      .  

Step One: I start out by washing my face with the Be Gentle Creamy Cleanser. This is the cleanser I use because I have dry and sensitive skin, but if you’re someone with normal to oily skin, you’ll want to use the Be Balanced Foamy Cleanser.

I start out by wetting my face with warm water and wash twice with this cleanser and pat my face dry.

Just like with washing my hair twice with the amazing haircare products I use, the first wash removes all of the dirt, grime and impurities from my pores and face.

The second wash gives the product the chance to give my skin the nutrients and care it needs after the layer of dirt and grime is removed.

Step Two: Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water

For this step, I take a round cotton pad and squeeze a small amount of the cleansing water onto it.

I then gently wipe my eyelids, under eyes and lash extensions.

If you don’t have lash extensions, you can just wash your entire face thoroughly with the Be Gentle Cleanser.

But because I have lash extensions, I am not able to submerge my eyes/lashes under water so I have no choice but to add this into my routine.

It was also a product highly recommended by my lash tech Julia and I’ve loved it ever since I started using it.

Step Three: Skin Revitalizing Essence

Once my face is nice and clean, I can begin the rest of my routine.

Before adding any of the creams, serums or moisturizers, it’s important to prep your skin for what you’re about to apply to it.

In this case, I use the Skin Revitalizing Essense “Water.”

Think of it as a toning base and it smells so freaking good.

I take a few drops of this into the palm of my hands, rub it in between my clean hands to warm it up and then I begin to pat it into my face, neck and dรฉcolletรฉ.

I do my best to fan my face dry before moving on to the next step.

Step Four: Eye Smooth Nourishing Eye Cream

This is a game changer for dark circles and fine lines.

I dab my dominant ring finger into the cream, take a small amount and gently pat it onto my under eye area and eye lid.

It comes with a rose gold roller so i take that and roll out my under eyes and eyelids to really rub in the product much smoother.

This is also really helps with de-puffing.

I love how this feels especially since the eye roller tool is normally at a cool temperature which feels great under the eyes.

Tip: Get a skin fridge and put all your skincare products in it so that when you use the eye roller it feels super cool and chilled to the touch and amazing when doing your eye cream. You’re welcome.

 

           

Step Five: C. Radiance Illuminating Serum

This baby has more vitamin C than an orange! Holla! I love putting this on my face in the morning because it gives my face a natural glow and makes it look like I have highlighter on.

This makes me feel super confident with no makeup on tbh.

I pump two small pumps into my hands and rub it all around my face and pat it in avoiding the eye area where I’ve just applied eye cream.

Step Six: Just like with the cleanser, I use the Be Gentle Nourishing Moisturizer because of my dry and sensitive skin. If you have normal to oily skin, you’re better off going with the Be Balanced Lightweight Moisturizer.

After I’ve applied the C. Radiance Serum, I take a few tiny scoops of the Be Gentle Moisturizer and dab it onto my forehead, cheeks and chin area and I don’t rub it in until I get my next product applied to mix with it.

Also, keep in mind that ALL of these products are super concentrated and a little goes a long way.

They should last a good 3-4 months if that especially if you’re using them correctly.

Step Seven: Rejuveniqe Light or Rejuveniqe Oil Intensive

After I dab a few of the moisturizer onto my face, I take a small drop of the oil on each of those spots I applied the moisturizer and blend into the face together.

After I’ve rubbed both in to my face, I press the product and oil I just applied into my face.

Step Eight: Lash & Brow Enhancing Serum

This is the last and final step. I take a small amount of this and apply it to my brows and upper and lower lash line to help keep my brows and lashes healthy, growing and full.

 

Now onto my Evening Skincare Routine

My Nighttime routine is exactly the same as my morning skincare routine with only two product differences: the serum + the moisturizer. I use the age rewind nectar serum instead of the C. Radiance Serum and the Night Haven Overnight Cream in place of the Be Gentle Moisturizer.

 

And if I wore makeup that day, I use the Makeup Vanishing Balm and Clean Skin Club Biodegradable Towelettes first to remove all of it.

           

Step One: Depending on your skin type, you may want to use the Be Gentle Creamy Cleanser if you have sensitive and/or dry skin or the Be Foamy Balanced Cleanser if you have normal to oily skin.

(As mentioned in the morning routine.)

 

If I used the Makeup Vanishing Balm, I like to cleans with my cleanser and then go in with a berry scrub to make sure I give my skin a really good scrub clean.

I normally use the Berry Refined Scrub 1-2 times per week (in addition to days I use makeup) after cleansing my face with the Be Gentle Creamy Cleanser.

After cleansing and using the berry scrub (normally done in the shower) I then get out and begin cleaning my lashes and eye area.

I’m not able to get my lashes soaking wet in the shower so I carefully clean them along with my eyes after showering using the Micellar water and round cotton pads.

Step Two: Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water

(As mentioned in the morning routine.)

Step Three: Skin Revitalizing Essence

(As mentioned in the morning routine.)

Step Four: Eye Smooth Nourishing Eye Cream 

(As mentioned in the morning routine.)

 

           

Step Five: Rewind Age Control Nectar AKA “Botox In a Bottle”

We like to call it “Botox in a Bottle” because botox can cost hundreds if not thousands of dollars.

This works its magic after one use and tightens your skin and reduces fine lines without going under the needle and costs way less.

I pump two pumps of this into my hands and pat it into my face until my face feels firm.

Step Six: Night Haven Overnight Age Control Cream

I then take small amounts of the Night Haven and place it on my forehead, cheeks and chin like I do in the morning with the Be Gentle Moisturizer.

I also wait until I have the oil on my face to mix and rub in the product.

Step Seven: Rejuveniqe Light or Rejuveniqe Oil Intensive

(As mentioned in the morning routine.)

Step Eight: Lash & Brow Enhancing Serum

(As mentioned in the morning routine.)
