Skincare Routine

I have a huge confession to make, but prior to getting engaged, I took terrible care of my skin.  I don't generally wear make-up during the week, so when I did, I would forget to wash it off.  I didn't have a skincare routine at all and I am mortified to admit it.

Fast forward to getting engaged and realizing I needed to have great skin for pictures, I decided to start using reputable beauty products instead of just what was on sale at Target.


In the morning, I wash my face with Clinique Liquid Facial soap.  I follow up with Clinique Clarifying Lotion 3 to tone my skin.  I have to say that this is my favorite part.  My skin looks so much brighter after toning.

In the morning, I apply Origins GinZing Refreshing Eye Cream.  I have the worst undereye circles and my eyes get pretty puffy easily.  It works wonders for brightening my undereyes.  I also use Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Gel.  It is my tried and true moisturizer for the daytime.  I wear both under tinted moisturizer.

I use Bioderma Crealine TS H2O to remove my make-up and y'all... it is everything that you've heard it is and more.  I've never used a product that removes my make-up as well as Bioderma does.  Do yourself a favor and go order it right now.

For Christmas, I bought myself a Clarisonic and let me tell you, it's a game changer.  I use it three times a week with a sensitive brush.  I was using it every night, but it was too much.  I use it at night and I use the Clarisonic refreshing gel cleanser with it.

After I cleanse my face, I use the toner, and then apply my eye cream.  I follow up with Rodan+Fields Redefine Overnight Restortive Cream(One of my co-workers started selling Rodan + Fields and had a launch party.  I decided to try this product and I have been beyond thrilled with my results!)  I follow up with some sort of lip treatment.  I love Rodan + Fields Redefine Lip Renewing Serum and Dr. Lipp's Original Nipple Balm for Lips.

I have used Rodan + Fields Micro-Dermabrasion Paste and it is fabulous!  My skin is sensitive so I'm always hesitant to try these types of products but it worked beautifully.  

Okay, what are your tried and true favorite skin care products?  Next on my list to try is Rodan + Fields Redefine eye cream.  I wanted to try it out before the wedding to see if I can eliminate some of my eye wrinkles.
