I have watched lots of videos, read tons of blogs, stalked the beauty supply stores, paced the floor looking at shelves full of facial cleansing, moisturizers and toners trying to decide what to include in my facial routine.
I remember being a young one, being 17 and going out with a face full of makeup and not stressing if I dont get every smudge of makeup off..I had good skin, rare blemishes and I didnt really have a "routine." Fast forward to college years, and all of a sudden wait where did that discoloration come from...OMG..why am I getting a blemish and shit...please tell me that is not a wrinkle. No Im a college student...we dont get wrinkles..
Ten plus years later, when everything your mother warned you about starts coming true. Time is flying by, you find yourself needing quiet time and at any given time you are yelling because I said so with no hesitation...Here I am searching for a facial routine. So the past few years I have dabbled, I have sampled and I have not fallen in love with any product untill now. With that said..I am still find something is missing, so I am still in search of adding something to my routine. Routine ..its such a old person word..oh wait yes that would be me.
So my morning routine, I wake up and after deciding that I have to get up and there is no more snoozing available, I drag myself out of bed and head to cater to my face because its supposed to be the window your soul..oh wait thats your eyes...I have them in my routine too.
So anyways, I splash my face with water, and use Philosophy Purity Facial Wash. I love how this facial wash is gentle, thorough and smells so fresh and good. I face feels very refreshed and awake after using this face wash and most importantly it doesnt feel like there is any residue left on my skin.
After I wash and gently dry my face, before applying makeup I apply Simple Daily Moisturizer with SPF 15. After it dries, I apply my makeup. At the end of the night, before I work out I use a Makeup Remover Facial cloth, I recently got a sample of Simples and I like them a lot.
After I workout and in the shower, I wash my face 5 days a week with the Philosophy's Purity Facial Wash.
Two days a week I use Bosica's Smoothing Facial Polish. I love this stuff, it feels like you are rubbing oil on your face with very small exfoliating bits but when you rinse your face, no oily residue..just a clean fresh face that is so soft. Seriously, I am in love with this product.
Before bed, I apply my KORRES Wild Rose 24hr Moisturizer..which smells amazing. This moisturizer is very thick so you only need a small amount. It spreads easily and is very hydrating. The smell is so vibrant, fresh and relaxing.
I then apply my eye cream under my eye by easily patting it gently and then taking it over my eye lids. I love the ingredients in this product. Very fresh and clean. I definately have noticed that my eyes look more alive, more awake and healthier.
Most of my products I have purchased at www.sephora.com and the Simple products you can purchase online at other stores like www.target.com . So I am running out some of my products and I need to go shopping, so I would love to hear about what your facial routine is...what are the products you are loving? Love ya Char
