Shop My Exact Skincare Routine

One question that I get the most in my DM's is "What is your skincare routine???". I have answered this question here and there but I have been experimenting with different products for the last few months. Well I finally have a  solid skincare routine and I can tell you where to get the exact products I use every day. 

1) Cleanse

I like to start my morning by cleansing my face with the Knours. Your Only Cleanser. This cleanser is so gentle yet so effective. It removes all oil, dirt, and imperfections from the skin. Since I started using this product I have noticed my skin is softer, brighter, and just feels super clean.

You can purchase this product here for $25.

2) Tone

This is the one skincare product that I swear by and I absolutely cannot live without. Solution by Glosser is a chemical exfoliator that can transform your skin in 4 weeks. I wish this was around when I was a teenager but I am so grateful to have it in my life now. 

This product is what makes my skin so clear and blemish free (most days).

You can purchase this product here for $24. It's worth 100x its weight in gold. Thank me later.

Then I spray my face with this toner:

 This Elemis Soothing Apricot Toner ($36) smells refreshing and perfectly soothes my skin after exfoliating with the Glossier Solution. It tones and rebalances the skin without dehydrating.

3) Apply serums

This Intensive Hydrating Serum with Green Tea Seed by Innisfree ($20) has been my saving grace this cold Winter. It's easily my favorite smelling skincare product right now but it also feels incredible on my skin. It's insanely hydrating and keeps my skin that way all day, through the cold and all. 

I also have a serum specifically for my under-eyes. 

The Eye Serum by MDNA Skin ($180) is the priciest part of my routine but definitely worth it if you struggle from dark circles and puffiness like I do. MDNA Skin has some of my favorite skincare products I have ever tried (moisturizer coming up next) and this serum is one of them. 

I have tried many different eye creams and serums. Most that I've tried have at least one of these three problems: they irritate my eyes, they don't sit well under my makeup, or they don't layer well with my other skincare products. But this MDNA Eye Serum doesn't create ANY of those problems. 

4) Moisturize

My every day moisturizer is the MDNA Skin Reinvention Cream ($75).

 This moisturizer makes my skin feel and look amazing. It is soothing and incredibly hydrating. This cream is basically magic -- it functions as a toner, serum, moisturizer, and a mask all in one. We love doing the most for our skin! 

You can get this moisturizer here for $75.

Best Face Washed For Your Skincare Needs

I love skin treatments, masks, serums, and moisturizers. But one thing that is so important that I don't talk enough about is a good face wash!

There are so many face washes on the market that target different skincare needs and a good face wash really does set the foundation for the rest of your routine. I have tried TONS of face washes over the years and I have narrowed the list down to my very favorites. Listed ahead are my go-to face washes that I switch up in my routine based on my current skincare needs and environmental factors. Whether you struggle with oily skin, dry skin, or acne prone skin, I have a suggestion for you! 

FOR DRY SKIN:

Peter Thomas Roth Water Drench Cleanser ($28)

This is by far the most soothing face wash I have tried. It is so gentle yet removes makeup and dirt with ease and locks in moisture all day long. It’s perfect to battle dry skin caused by cold weather but also great for summertime when you are constantly in the sun. You really can’t go wrong with this one.

FOR OILY SKIN: 

Olehenriksen Find Your Balance Oil Control Cleanser ($25)

After I wash my face with this Oil Control Cleanser, my face feels completely oil-free. It smells minty and feels refreshing and slightly cooling on the skin. This is absolutely 100% my recommendation for anyone battling oily skin.

FOR ACNE PRONE SKIN:

 Peter Thomas Roth Acne Clearing Wash ($38)

Peter Thomas Roth is one of my favorite skincare brands. This acne clearing wash is perfect for fighting existing acne and preventing future breakouts. I would suggest this face wash to someone who struggles with acne.

OIL-TO-FOAM 2-IN-1 CLEANSER:

Knours Your Only Cleanser ($25)

For the girl who hates double-cleansing. . . this one’s for you.

This cleanser is an oil-to-foam cleanser than eliminates the need to double cleanse. The oil cleanser gently melts away makeup and then turns to foam to rinse everything away. I love this brand because it’s made specifically for women and works with our hormones to give optimal results.

FOR EXFOLIATION:

Chuda Everyday Exfoliating Cleanser ($35)

This is a great cleanser for all skin types. I have appreciated the daily exfoliation more and more lately. I use a real facial scrub 2-3 times a week but this is a gentle exfoliator for everyday use that helps prep your skin for the remainder of your skincare routine.

If you are serious about your skin absorbing everything and getting the maximum benefits out of your serums, I would definitely recommend using a daily exfoliator like this one.
