morning 🌷

-first i wash my face with tatcha’s “the rice wash” as i like to start the day with a gentle cleanser

-if i am going out that day, i always make sure to apply my soopergoop play sunscreen

benefits of sunscreen: reduce the signs of aging, as it prevents the early onset of wrinkles and fine lines. reduce the risk of skin cancer, avoid inflammation, etc.

-next i apply the tatcha dewy skin cream, this product does wonders for glowy & soft skin!

-my next step is the yttp 15% vitamin c + clean caffeine energy serum.

vitamin c helps to brighten skin tone, act as an anti-inflammatory, boots collagen, diminish scars, lighten dark spots, etc. caffeine helps to reduce inflammation & puffiness, and tighten/brighten skin.

-as an added hydration for skin i use leneige’s water bank hydro essence serum, helps soooo much with skin hydration & moisture.

-my last step in my morning skincare is the ordinary’s hyaluronic acid. hyaluronic acid promotes healthier skin, it naturally occurs in the body & getting that extra boost can help so much with attracting & holding onto moisture.

night 🌙

first i mix the inkey lists salicylic acid cleanser & the dermalogica clearing skin wash to reduce & fight off acne.

-next step is the glow recipe’s watermelon glow pha + bha pore tight toner. this has definitely helped with giving me the glowy, hydrated look while also reducing the appearance of pores.

-next i reapply the laneige water bank hydro essence serum & the tatcha glow recipe

-i also reapply the ordinary’s hyaluronic acid, this time directly before my gua sha routine to give my skin a slippery, hydrated base. here is a link to the video i use for the gua sha routine 🤍

-a few times a week i will do my slugging routine, slugging is applying a petroleum jelly (vaseline, aquaphor, i use aquaphor) to your skin overnight for moisturized, glowing skin. slugging works by preventing trans epidural water loss so the skin barrier is protected.
