Hello Divas!
I hope you had a fabulous weekend! I relaxed and chilled inside. Some of you have emailed me wondering what is my daily skin care routine. My skin is oily and prone to breakouts, i.e., blackheads and whiteheads. In addition, I have found that I have to switch products because my skin can become immune to a set regimen. For example, at the beginning of last year I was using
Rx For Brown Skin's Bright and Even Collection. It was fabulous. However after the birth of my daughter my skin started to break out. I then started using
Oil of Olay's Anti-Aging Anti-Blemish collection. The Oil of Olay regime did clear up the breakouts but it left my skin extremely dry. So I modified my skincare regimen once again and started using RoC cleansing pads and
RoC Retinol Cream underneath pure Olive Oil. The RoC products removed dead skin and begin to repair blemishes. The Olive Oil was a perfect moisturizer to combat dry skin that can occur when using Retinol. Also Olive Oil is a fantastic anti-aging beauty product. Read my review of Olive Oil
here. My skin has significantly calmed down now.
Currently, I am using
Lumene skincare. I know I have talked about Lumene Products for the past week, but they are really good! Here is what I am using now:
Morning
Facial Cleanser: Lumene Matt Touch Balancing Gel Cleanser
Toner: Clean and Clear Sensitive Skin Deep Cleaning Astringent
Moisturizer: Lumene Age-Defying Day Cream with Vitamin C and SPF 15. SPF 15 is a must if using Retinol.
Night
Facial Cleanser: Lumene Matt Touch Balancing Gel Gleanser
Toner: Clean and Clear Sensitive Skin Deep Cleaning Astringent
RoC: Retinol Correxion Deep Wrinkle Night Cream.
I am getting tons of compliments on my skin. It definitely looks better and has a little glow to it. But I am sure my weekly mini-facials are also helping!
Please leave me a comment and let me know what is your daily morning and night skincare routine. Also please share what products you use. I am always looking to try something new!
This facial wash is an oldie but goodie. I have been using it for YEARS! I will try other cleansers, especially if my skin is acting out, but Oil of Olay's foaming face wash is a great basic everyday cleanser. What I love most about this facial wash is that it does not dry out my skin. It gets my face very clean but does not strip it. The facial wash is also 100% soap, oil, fragrance and dye free. So it is great for those who have very sensitive skin..like me. And you only have to use a nickel size amount of the wash to achieve a great foam. So it lasts for months! Oil of Olay's Foaming Face Wash for Sensitive Skin retails for $4.49 and you can purchase it here or at any CVS.
