My Skin Care Routine

Okay ladies (and men too!) here is my skincare routine. This is just so you can see the order that I do things and at what time; either morning or night. You will need to go the specific post for that action to see my recommended products, how to use them and information on how to order. For example, I will just say cleanse and you will need to go to my post, Clean Slate; A Post On Cleansing Your Face, to see which ones I recommend. Keep in mind that I am 49 years old and my concerns are wrinkles, hydration and firmness.

Morning:

*Cleanse (see post- Clean Slate; A Post On Cleansing Your Face)

Tone (see post- Tone and Tighten; Your Pores That Is!)

Vitamin C serum-Face only (see post-What Are Serums and Why Do I Need One?)

Glycolic Acid Gel on eye, neck and decollete (see post- Special Needs; Caring For The Skin Around Your Eyes, Neck and Decollete)

Eye cream (see post Special Needs; Caring For The Skin Around Your Eyes, Neck and Decollete)

Skin Brightening lotion- face,neck and decollete. This may be enough hydration for you. If so, just go to sunscreen. (see post -Hydrate and Protect Your face To Prevent Signs Of Aging)

Moisturize- face, neck and decollete (see post -Hydrate and Protect Your Face To Prevent Signs Of Aging)

Sunscreen on neck and decollete (see post-Hydrate and Protect Your Face To Prevent Signs Of Aging)

Make-up Primer (see post -How To Get That Candlelight Glow)

Make-up (see post-How To Get That Candlelight Glow)

Night:

Cleanse (see post -Clean Slate; A Post On Cleansing Your Face) for my recommended P.M. cleanser) and dry face with Claroderm washcloth, then wet and remove any excess cleanser. (See post -Exfoliate For That Youthful Glow for information on the washcloths)

Tone (see post -Tone and Tighten; Your Pores That Is!)

Microneedling-(see post on Skincare; Beyond Creams and Serums)

Firming Serum-face, neck and decollete (see post-What Are Serums and Why Do I Need One?)

Eye Cream-(see post -Special Needs; Caring For The Skin Around Your Eyes, Neck and Decollete)

Moisturize-face only (see post - Hydrate and Protect Your Face To Prevent Signs Of Aging) for my recommended P.M. cream)

Glycolic acid cream-face only (see post-Hydrate and Protect To Prevent Signs Of Aging)

Dry Oil on neck and decollete (see post-Special Needs; Caring For The Skin Around Your Eyes, Neck and Decollete)

 

Once a week, at night, I exfoliate. To see my recommended products for this go to my post -Exfolaite For That Youthful Glow. The night I do this, I leave a few products off my routine. I also do not "micro-needle" on the night I exfoliate.Here is the modified P.M. routine for that night:

Cleanse

Exfoliate

Tone

Firming Serum-face, neck and decollete

Eye Cream

Moisturize

Dry Oil on neck and decollete

I use my LED light therapy (see post on Skincare; Beyond Creams and Serums) either in the morning or evening depending on when I have time. I use it after I cleanse and tone and then follow my routine.

I use my NuSkin Galvanic Spa System 2 days a week and skip the LED light therapy these 2 days so it is not really any added time (see post on Galvanic Spa)

 

*I use the Clarisonic with my cleanser. See my post on Skin care; Beyond Creams and Serums for more data on the Clarisonic. You can use it twice a day. I usually use mine once a day, sometimes in the morning and sometimes at night.
