Let's first start by intriducing my skin. I have dry skin that doesn't break out often but sometimes there will be a bump or two when I wake up around a certain time of the month. Other than that my skin is pretty low key. Sometimes though it can seem like a warzone.
Now, because I'm dealing with tempermental skin I sometimes use different products for different problems. Let me explain. I have a routine for when my skin is acting normal and one for when it's not. Make sense? If not leave me a comment and I'll clear this all up for you!
Here are my favorite skin care products ever...
What I use reguardless of how my skin feels:
1. Clarisonic | I use my Clarisonic every single day. The one in the picture is actually not the one I own. Mine is pink giraffe print! Anyway, everytime I use the Clarisonic my skin feels really clean verses just using my hands or a washcloth where I feel like my skin is not half as clean.
2. ExfoliKate | Oh Kate Somerville. She is a cruel one. The products made be Kate Somerville are marvelous BUT really expensive. Although, this is one of those products that I can justify the price because of the way my skin feels afterward. It makes your skin feel so smooth and soft. I only use this one once or twice a week because will do more damage than good if you overuse it.
3. Bite Beauty Agave Lip Mask | This stuff is AMAZING! It sticks to your lips like glue. When you put it on at night you wake up the next morning with it still on your lips and not all over your pillow. Amazing. Your lips feel pretty amazing afterward too!
4. EOS Lip Balm | This one is a total fad thing. I don't know if it does any good or not but it smells really good and it looks cute so what's the problem?
Good Day Routine:
1. First Aid Beauty Face Cleanser | Starting with the top left corner we have my favorite skin cleanser. I feel like this cleanser can be used by women with dry skin and women with oily skin. It's really light but it cleans really well. When I use this product my skin feels really clean and fresh.
2. First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream | This stuff is the absolute best moisturizer ever. But it's not just that, you can use it everywhere! Even on your kids! But seriously, it isn't sticky, it's not oily, it makes your skin feel soft, smooth, and so healthy. I really really love this one. AND it's only $12 for the tube. Seriously, how could you not love this stuff?
Bad Skin Routine:
1. Origins Checks and Balances | This product comes from a brand that I absolutely adore. Origins is powered by nature and proven by science. They don't claim to be anything they aren't and that's something I really respect. Anyway, Checks and Balances is one of those deep cleaning products that really helps take care of those oily days. They're rare but they happen. This product balances dry and oily skin which is something I really need sometimes.
2. Origins United States | Sometime I use this in the morning when I don't need a deep clean but I need to get rid of some of the nastiness from the night before. I also use this with Checks and Balances for a deeper clean.
3. Origins Night-a-Mins | I saved a great product for last! This stuff is amazing! It is a thicker moisturizer which is something I need if I just got rid of the oil on my skin. I use this a lot during the winter or if I jsut did my checks and balances routine. It smells great and I notice a huge difference when I use this moisturizer with this routine.
If anyone has any tips and tricks please leave them in the comment section!
XOXO, Kait
