I’ve written before about some of my favorite tips to keep your skin beautiful. I’m definitely still following those steps – drinking water, using antioxidants and vitamins, getting exercise, and especially sleeping in on the weekends – but I also use some great products in my daily skincare routine.
Daily Skincare Routine
When it comes to skincare, I really love Lancôme. You will notice I use a lot of their products. But, just like I do with my hair products, I also like to work some other skincare products into the mix to keep things fresh.
In my opinion, the key to great skin is keeping it clean and moisturized, so I have that in mind with every product I use. Regular soap, even if it’s moisturizing soap, can be too harsh for your face and can also leave a dulling residue behind. Good facial cleansers will leave your skin soft and radiant.
In the morning I use the Lancôme Crème Mousse-Confort foaming cleaner. It has rosehip oil, so it has a lovely scent, but the smell isn’t overwhelming.
I follow this with the Lancôme Tonique Confort rehydrating toner. This is especially important in the winter when the cold air leaves your skin feeling extra dry, but I’m still using as we are heading into spring. It’s a great base for your moisturizer.
Next, I use the Lancôme Rénergie Lift Multi-Action Day Cream. This cream is great for all skin types and has SPF 15 to help protect your skin from the sun. I like that it’s light, as some moisturizers can feel really heavy on your skin. I also use the Rénergie Lift Multi-Action Eye Cream for the skin right around my eyes.
One key tip I have is to not only apply your moisturizing cream to your face. Try using it on your neck and chest, as well. You want to keep these areas just as moisturized as your face, and this is a great way to do it!
If you are looking for stronger SPF protection, I also like the SkinMedica Total Defense + Repair sunscreen. It has antioxidants and helps to protect your skin from UVA, UVB, and IR-A.
At night, I use the Crème Mousse-Confort and Tonique Confort to cleanse and moisturize my face before I go to bed.
Weekly Skincare Routine
Once a week I take the time to purify or exfoliate my skin. For exfoliation, I love the Kate Somerville Exfoli Kate Intensive Exfoliating Treatment. I discovered this after it was included in my winter FabFitFun box, and I’ve been using it regularly for the last few months. I also love the Masque Pure Empreinte from Lancôme, which is a purifying mineral mask. You only need a thin layer, and since it’s made with white clay, you don’t have to worry about staining your washcloths like you do with those charcoal face masks.
