Hey Loves! I have been focusing on my skincare routine thus far this year. I have found a few products that have been working awesome for my skin. First off I am a twenty something with acne prone skin and I am super oily. I will admit for the past how many years I would try a product for 1 week and then give up because I wasn't seeing results. Changing your skin takes lots of time-- A LOT of time. I have been more patient this time around and have given these products several months to work their magic. I do notice that the healthier I eat the better my skin is and chug that water always. I used to not think that food or hydration habits really played that big of a role but seriously they do. Lets jump into the skincare goodies...

Philosophy Purity Facial Cleanser
Clarisonic Mia Facial Brush
St. Ives Blemish Control Apricot Scrub
|
I use these products in the morning during my normal shower. I love the purity cleanser because it is so gentle and great at removing my makeup. I only use it with the Clarisonic three times a week and once a week I use the apricot scrub because that can be kind of harsh to my skin. Usually the morning before I apply self-tanner.

L'Oreal Youth Code Texture Perfector Serum Concentrate
Neutrogena Acne Stress Control Triple-Action Toner Oil-Free |
I use the toner and serum morning and night. I apply the toner with a cotton round. I used to stay away from products promoted for acne prone skin because they contain a lot of chemicals which I don't love. This does have Salicyclic Acid which right now is working for my skin. The serum is amazing and leaves your skin feeling amazingly soft and subtle instantly after application. I went 1 month without the serum and my skin just wasn't the same. I am so happy to have this back in my life.

| Skincare Cosmetics Retinol Vitamin Enriched Eye Gel |
This is actually one of the only eye creams/gel that I have tried. I actually notice a difference when I use this and when I don't. I do not have problems with bags or under eye circles but I notice that when I religiously apply this day and night my under eyes just look more pump and hydrated. I am open to trying a different eye cream in the future. I purchased this at TJ Maxx for $9.99.

| Lancome Bienfait Multi-Vital Sunscreen Cream SPF 30 |
This is a sample size that I got last year in a Summer Skin Kit from Sephora that included a bunch of different samples of lotions with SPF and products for the summer. I use this during the day-- I am not really seeing much difference in my skin since using this but I love that fact that it has SPF and does not contain much fragrance.
 |
| Ole Henriksen Sheer Transformation Facial Moisturizer |
Game changer... I got this in another Sephora Sample Kit this year. This has really helped keep my skin moisturized and did not break me out. I am almost finished with this sample size and I am seriously considering purchasing another. I think this has helped diminish my dark spots.
 |
| Origins Checks and Balances Frothy Face Wash |
This is another gentle cleanser that I use nightly to remove my makeup and wash my face. I don't love this as much as the purity cleanser because this leaves that overly clean tight feeling on the skin when you rinse it off. This is just a sample size and I don't think I will repurchase. I am going to stick to my purity cleanser for day and night.

| Queen Helene Mint Julep Masque |
Meet my holy grail oily skin face mask. If I feel a break out coming on I apply this for 15-20 minutes and then rinse off. This baby sucks all of the oil out of your pores and helps clear breakouts quickly. I even use this as a spot treatment over night on those stubborn pimples that will not leave my face.
What are some of your favorite skincare products? I am still trying to perfect my skin but these products have helped me go leaps and bounds from last year. Let me know if you try any of these products out.
