My Current Skincare Routine
For anyone struggling with their skin, I see you.
I’ve struggled with acne for so many years, started in my teens and continued into my early 20’s. It wasn’t until a couple years ago, where I was finally able to find the right products to keep my skin clear. Sharing all my skin secrets below!
Firstly, I think it’s important to remember that skin can have ups-and-downs no matter what. There’s also so many variables that can affect your skin, such as hormones, stress, air quality, rough water, food sensitivities etc. All that being said, this was the AM + PM skincare routine that got my skin to the balanced place it’s in now. I’ve been keeping up with this routine for almost 3 years now and I hope some of my recommendations might help you!
PS this isn’t sponsored. These are products that have truly worked and continue to work for me and my skin.
AM Routine:
CICAPLAST BAUME B5 SOOTHING RELIEVING BALM - People use Cicaplast for so many reasons but I like using it when I have the occasional patchy, dry spot or when I’ve picked a spot on my face. It’s like giving your skin a protective layer. I use this like a spot treatment.
TOLERIANE SENSITIVE FLUIDE - This is my daytime moisturizer. I never stray from using this whether I’m at home or doing a full face of makeup.
ROSE GLOW + GET IT COOLING & BRIGHTENING EYE BALM - I love this eye balm, especially on my no makeup days because it really does brighten up your under eyes and gives your skin this pretty highlight. Makes me look more awake which I love. Also gives your under eyes a cooling sensation which feels amazing.
ANTHELIOS MINERAL TINTED ULTRA FLUID SPF 50 FACIAL SUNSCREEN - My all time favourite tinted sunscreen!! Protects your skin and also helps to even out your skin tone with the tint. I find the fair shade a great match for me.
ANTHELIOS ULTRA-FLUID SPF 50+ FACIAL SUNSCREEN - Same sunscreen as the one listed above but not tinted. It leaves a beautiful invisible finish on your skin.
LIP SLEEPING MASK INTENSE HYDRATION WITH VITAMIN C - The best lip mask EVER!! Lasts you a long time too!
PM Routine:
EFFACLAR PURIFYING FOAMING GEL - This is the only face wash I use on my skin! It’s super gentle but still helps to treat your acne. I do a thorough wash at night but I don't typically wash my face in the morning. I like to just splash my face with water in the morning.
TOLERIANE DERMALLERGO CREAM - I like to put on moisturizer every night, especially since I typically have some type of serum/treatment on at night. This has more of a thick cream consistency versus my morning moisturizer that’s more of a serum-like consistency.
24-7 POWER SWIPE HYDRATING DAY & NIGHT TREATMENT EYE BALM - Another great Tula eye balm. This is more hydrating compared the Rose Glow & Get It. Feels amazing under eyes.
EFFACLAR DUO (+) GLOBAL ACNE TREATMENT - This acne treatment might be my favourite skincare product ever. This stuff really helped get my acne under control and it is definitely not like any of the spot treatments I’ve ever tried. I really love that it doesn’t dry out your skin like other acne treatments do.
RETINOL B3 ANTI-AGING FACE SERUM - I believe that everyone should use a retinol, if you’re not - trust me you should! This gives your skin the boost it needs - radiance, anti-aging, etc.
REDERMIC RETINOL INTENSIVE ANTI-AGING TREATMENT CREAM - This is an alternative retinol for people with less sensitive skin! My personal favourite retinol.
