My Current Skin Care Routine - November 2013

Hello Everyone!

I am going to keep my promise to be more active and post at least once every week!

I am still updating my previous post on the latest Ipsy bag as I swatch and test out each product.

However, I wanted to talk about my current skin care routine!

My skin is combination, so to clarify I have an oily t-zone and I am dry everywhere else! This can be a pain, but I am satisfied with my current skin care routine.

Let's get started!

Cleansing

First, we must cleanse the skin! I recently received the Clarisonic Aria as a present, and use it religiously every morning and night. I alternate between two cleansers, which are Philosophy's Purity and the Clarisonic Gentle Hydro Cleanser. I tend to reach for Purity more, though.

Nourish

I love to give my skin an extra boost by applying a few serums/oils before moisturizing. I like to prep and tone my skin with Juice Beauty Hydrating Mist. I tend to get stressed out a lot, so I apply a bit of Estee Lauder Advance Night Repair on the spots of my face that need a bit of extra love concerning wrinkles that are beginning to form like on my forehead and sides of my mouth. Finally, I will apply a light layer of Ole Henrikson Truth Serum Collagen Booster all over to help with dry spots and to achieve a fresh glow. However, other serums/oils I recommend are Lancome Genefique, Boscia Tsubaki Oil and Josie Maran's 100% Pure Argan Oil.

Moisturize

The final step is to moisturize, and I am constantly trying different products. However, my two favorite at the moment is the Ole Henrikson Truth Creme Advance Hydration and Amorepacific Future Response. As it gets colder, I will start to reach for one of my favorite moisturizers of all time, which is the FAB Ultra Repair Cream. I live in Arizona, and it is still too hot to wear the rich moisturizing creme during the day, but when I need an extra boost of hydration I will apply it before bed.

This wraps ups my current skin care routine! I plan on doing reviews on all of the products mentioned in the future. I also have a few cosplay blog posts in the making. I plan on going to Phoenix Comic Con, San Diego Comic Con and a few more as the opportunities arise. Thanks for reading! If you have any questions, then please don't hesitate to comment below!
