I start my
my skincare routine off with the Olay Facial Cloths. These are wonderful
for many reasons. I use the combination/oily option because especially
during these summer months I have oily trouble spots. The cloths have
nice exfoliating beads on the cloths that help exfoliate but aren't to harsh
and you can use every day.
Using the cotton rounds I then use the Mary Kay Eye Make Up remover
and Toner. I have to be honest, the toner isn't anything special, but I
have very sensitive skin and this is one toner that doesn't break me
out. However, the eye make up remover is hands down the best I have ever
used. It doesn't irritate my eyes and removes even waterproof
make up with ease and without needing to pull on your eyes. Keep in mind
when you are doing anything to your eye area that the skin there is
more sensitive excessive pulling will cause wrinkles and non of us
want that!!
Then in the
morning I next apply a day solution. The nice thing about Mary Kay's is
it also includes a SPF 25. Remember, even if you are only in the sun for
a limited time, you need to have some sort of protection. On days when I
plan to be in the sun for long periods I also add a facial SPF after my
moisturizer. In the evening this step is replaced with my night solution.
If you look closely at the picture you can see pink/purple beads in the
solution. These are your antioxidants and minerals
to nourish your skin. The great thing about the beads is that
they do not burst until the go through the pump. No exposing them to the
air increase your shelf life. Keep this in mind with any creams
you have sitting at your makeup station. Once exposed to the air, your shelf
lief is weeks, if not days!
Finally,
I use my moisturizer and eye cream. It is important to pick
your moisturizer carefully for your skin type. Pay attention to what your
skin is telling you and this may change depending on the time of year.
During the winter I need more moisture than I do during the summer
months. Also, I always use an eye cream at night, but during the day if I
find my skin to be a little more oily, I may make the decision to skip my eye
cream for the day.
My skincare secret weapon has to be a mint julep masque. I
am currently using the Queen Helen brand. I use this about once a week to
deep clean my pours. I try to use this on a day when I know I won't be using
any make up. This product goes deep down and gets all the grit and grim
from the week out. Keep in mind when you start using this product, you may
experience a few break outs. Especially if you don't regularly wash your
face (which you should be doing!!!). If you continue
to regularly use this product any potential break outs will decrease.
