My Updated Everyday Skincare Routine

Hey loves! So I currently have a Winter Skincare Routine posted on my blog. But honestly a lot of the products that I used I have switched out with something else. A little back story, I was fighting really bad hormonal acne for months. It was terrible, I couldn’t figure out what was making my skin breakout so bad. I can finally say that I have a everyday skincare routine down, that has helped my skin tremendously. Since I have been using all of these products, my breakouts aren’t as harsh, and my skin is bright and glowy. Check out below on the products I use for my skincare routine!

Cleanse

The first step I do is cleanse my face. I have normal to dry skin, so I try to use a cleanser that isn’t too harsh on my skin. My favorite cleansers that have been keeping my skin together are the Tula Purifying Face Cleanser, and the Nolaskinsentials Skin Smoothie Daily Cleanser. I use both of these in rotation, such as one during the night and the other during the day. They both cleanse my skin thoroughly and don’t leave my skin feeling dry. Also the Skin Smoothie Daily Cleanser from Nolaskinsentials is great for acne prone skin.

Exfoliate

Exfoliating is probably my favorite part out of everything. Everytime I exfoliate my skin, it’s left feeling way more soft. The two exfoliates I use are the Detox in a Jar Exfoliating Treatment Mask and the So Polished Exfoliating Sugar Scrub. Both of these are from Tula. The Detox In A Jar Mask, is not only an exfoliate but also a detox mask. It’s pretty much a two in one type of mask. I use this about twice a week. The So Polished Scrub smells like heaven. It literally feels like you are on a tropical island. This product isn’t too harsh on the skin and leaves my skin feeling so smooth. I mostly like to use this when I’m going to be wearing makeup for the day. It helps my makeup apply way better.

Tone

If you don’t use a toner after you have cleansed your skin, I highly suggest you start to do so. Using a toner for your skin not only removes any other buildup on the face but it also balances out the face and can provide moisture back into the skin. The toner that I have been loving lately is the Ginseng Aloe Toner from Nolaskinsentials. It balances out my skins PH, eliminates any acne causing factors, as well as adding a boost of hydration. I also like the to use the Pixi Glow Tonic. It exfoliates the skin with Glycolic Acid and the Aloe Vera soothes and hydrates My skin always looks so bright and radiant after I use this. I highly recommend that you try this toner out.

Serum

After I have toned my skin, I use a serum. A serum is something that is essential in skincare, as it smooths the surface of the skin, helps with fine lines and wrinkles, and also helps retain moisture. The skin serum that I have been using lately is the Nolaskinsentials Brightening C-Serum. This is great for adding hydration to the skin before applying moisturizer. It also combats in discoloration on the skin. This is my staple and I plan on keeping this in my routine for awhile. Once I apply this my skin is instantly smoother and is radiant. I also like to use The Melanated Bar Rosehip Serum. This product is literally face crack. It glides over my face so smoothly, aids in fighting acne, and evens the skin tone.

Moisturizer

The next step I usually do is my moisturizer. The two that I have been using is the Tula 24-7 Hydrating Day and Night Cream, and First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream. I absolutely recommend that if you haven’t tried the Tula Hydrating Day and Night Cream, you definitely should. It’s not to heavy on the skin to make you look greasy, and it makes you skin look more plump and glowy. I always make sure to keep it in my cabinet. The Ultra Repair Cream from First Aid Beauty has recently become a staple of mine. It also provides great hydration without the skin feeling too greasy. And it isn’t too heavy on my face. My skin always is left feeling hydrated and smooth. Also a little goes a long way with both of these products. They both will last you a long time.

Under Eyes

After I have applied my moisturizer, I like to apply my under eye product. The one I always grab is Tula Rose Glow & Get It Under Eye balm. I use this one almost every day, as it gives my under eyes a glowy look, and it also has a slight cooling sensation after I have applied. It can also be used as a highlighter for your cheek bones. The other product I like to use is First Aid Beauty Niacinamide Brightening Eye Cream. This is also great at brightening the under eyes, as well as hydrating, and smoothing. It also can help with reducing the appearance of dark under eye circles over time.

SPF/Sunscreen

For SPF I’ve been using Tula Protect & Glow Daily Sunscreen Gel. This product is very lightweight, and provides an beautiful glow for your skin. There is no white cast after it is applied and it can be worn with or without makeup. After this is applied my face is still left feeling moisturized and not greasy. It’s a great black girl friendly product too.

If you don’t have a current skincare routine, you definitely should start trying out different skincare items to see what works best for your skin. Without a skincare routine, your skin can’t thrive the way it should. Also skincare plays a big part in how your makeup will apply as well. I’ve gotten a lot of compliments on my skin and I’m so proud that I finally got a routine down that works for me. Don’t forget you can use my code “Kelondra” on Tula’s products for 15% off! Let me know down below what do you use for your skincare!
