Honestly, I did not care as much about my skin care until only a few years ago. I would routinely sleep in my makeup and add to it the next morning before starting my day. It wasn’t until the mother of a close friend of mine noticed this and told me I would regret not taking care of my skin that I decided I was going to make an important change! Ever since that time, I have been a die-hard fan of finding the best products for my skin care routine to ensure I keep a youthful glow for many years to come!

Morning Routine:
I like to keep my morning routine short and sweet, but effective! It’s very important to me that I have a clean solid base on which to apply my makeup. After all, your makeup will only look as good as the canvas of skin that is underneath!
- Éminence Lemon Cleanser
- The scent is so refreshing and wakes my skin up in the mornings.
- Skinceuticals Phloretin CF
- This product is my holy grail! It gives such a beautiful, radiant glow to my skin, and helps to lighten any pigment that shows up or gets darker from sun damage. I especially like that this product works along with my sunscreen to give my skin extra protection from any future sun damage.
- Skinceuticals Triple Lipid Restore
- I love this moisturizer. It makes my skin feel like velvet!
- Elta MD Elements Sunscreen
- This sunscreen has hyaluronic acid in it, which plumps fine lines giving a flawless finish. It has a subtle tint in it so it’s perfect as a primer or as a CC cream if you want some coverage for running errands or hitting the gym!
Evening Routine:
- Éminence Lemon Cleanser
- I cannot get enough of the fresh scent!
- Eminence Pear and Poppy Seed Microderm Polisher
- I feel so refreshed after using this product. It’s like a mini microdermabrasion at home! I will use this at least twice a week or before an event to make my skin glow.
- Retinol
- Retinol is a product that I have a love/hate relationship with, but the benefits definitely outweigh the occasional peeling if I use a little too much!
- Skinceuticals A.G.E. Eye Complex
- Everyone should be using an eye cream. The thinnest skin deserves the most attention.
- Skinceuticals Triple Lipid Restore
- Again, the way this moisturizer makes my skin feel is so velvety-smooth! It is also the perfect moisturizer for anti-aging. Plus, I love that it helps to shrink pore size!
Helpful Tips:
- Do not forget to protect and treat your neck, chest, and the backs of your hands! You will regret it later if you forget or overlook these areas.
- Eye cream is best applied by slowly massaging out and away from the inner corner of your eye. Be careful not to get products in your eyes.
- Don’t be afraid to use the products! It’s so important to try different things with amounts and how you combine different products to see what works the best for you. Play and have fun with it. Not enough usage of a product is almost the same as not using it at all!
