I’ve been trying different pre cleansers. Use cleanser for about 50s. No more, no less. Gently run against skin in a circular motion

This is the second layer of my cleansing. Double cleanse is really important, even if you only use sunscreen in the AM. It’s really important to find good options that work together and don’t strip your skin of your natural oils and moisture.

Using Glossier’s but may try a different one once it runs out. It’s really important not to use a scrub because it can really damage your skin. I use a mixture of running a cotton pad against my skin and patting my skin gently. Using a chemical exfoliator once or twice a week gets rid of that layer of skin that won’t naturally shed. Don’t be afraid of chemicals, water is a chemical :)

Actives like this one helps keep my skin moisturized, control oil, help fine lines, brighter, make skin less rough. Pat skin gently to soak it in.

Same idea, this active product does a specific job to help fine lines. Again, I pat skin gently to soak it in.

This mask gets to my skin at a deeper level and really clears out my pores. Wear for 10 minutes, wash off with water, NOT washcloth (irritating.)

Moisturizer is one of the staples of a good, basic skin routine. Finding one that is unscented is important because it seeps into your skin, otherwise you’re at risk for irritation. This moisturizer is light, unscented, and very moisturizing. Pat into skin.

Everyone has to wear sunscreen everyday. Like a moisturizer, it seeps into the skin and the ingredients are very important. This one makes my skin feel great. I try to apply it every two hours after I apply it first thing in the morning until the afternoon (getting better at doing so). Mixture of gently rubbing skin with hand and patting it into my skin. If I know I’ll be in the sun all day I double up.

I used to have pretty bad acne so I’m still working on healing my skin’s texture. These help dramatically. It also helps my repair my skin’s barrier. I think tamanu will be the next “it” item in products like Hyaluronic acid is now. Pat into skin.
