Keeping Up with Your Skincare Routine 3.26.2020
And on the 20th day of social isolation, we decided to share the skin-care routine that has truly improved our skin for the better. When the social distancing movement began, we figured it was the perfect time to really work on our skin. The following products have left my skin clear, hydrated, and naturally dewy. Given the fact that I stopped producing collagen about three years ago, I desperately needed a way to turn back a couple of years on my face.
Here are the products along with my routine that keep me feeling fresh!

Wake up in the AM or honestly whenever, especially now.
The first thing I'll do is wash my face the Daily Face Cleanser from ELF. This brand is super underrated and so affordable. At only $4.00 you'll get the perfect cleanser for most skin types.
Step 2:
Vitamin C! I was talking to a friend recently asking how she always had this beautiful glowy skin and she says she SWEARS by Vitamin C serums. The Vichy Vitamin C Ampoule Serum Pack contains 10 ampoules and it has helped so much. The box says you'll have the serum in your skin for 48 hours but I like to dab someone every morning before I apply my moisturizer.

This CeraVe Hydrating Sunscreen is IT. It's not only super hydrating but also has 30SPF and a little bit of a tint to it. The tint adapts to your skin color and gives you a little bit of shine. Overall its a pretty solid moisturizer and leaves you feeling like you don't have anything on your face.

This is my morning cleanser, afternoon cleanser, after my nap cleanser, before I sleep cleanser. You name it.

Yes, it's that good. Find it here.

Step 2:
Retinol is becoming my new best friend and should be yours too. This is an over the counter Vitamin A Skin Renewing Retinol Serum from CeraVe that helps tighten your skin and reduce fine lines.
​
This serum is silky and I like to apply a thin layer of this right out of the shower while my skin is still nice and steamed up.
​
It has really helped and I feel my face a bit tighter when it drys.

And last but definitely not least. Kubra Kay's Fruit Night Cream is the moisturizer you've all been sleeping on. Kubra Kay is a skincare brand that uses all-natural products. Vegan, sulfate-free, paraben-free, fragrance -free, cruelty -free. This has turned my skin around completely. 1 month into 30-degree weather and I was crusty! Not even 3 days into using this and my skin was the most moisturized its ever been. I already need to restock. Incredible. Don't sleep on this, (sleep with it on!)

Now that we're home all day, it's the perfect time to create a healthy habit of taking care of your skin and find the products that work for you. Get to moisturizing!
These are products I love and use daily. Just because they work for me doesn't necessarily mean they'll work for you. If you need professional skin-care advice, please seek a dermatologist.
