Blogmas Day 2: Beauty Routine

During the winter months our skin can go through different phases. It can be really tricky to navigate especially when you already have complicated skin. I tend to have combination skin, oily and extremely dry. I have eczema so there are certain parts of my skin that are drier than others, those areas tend to be in the corners of my eyes and my upper lip. I have also been dealing with some acne spots.

In Texas, it doesn't get as cold as in the northern states although it does get rather cold for Texas. I've never been really good at having a skincare routine so the past couple of months I've been trying out different products to see what works best with my skin. Some of these product I have used several times and have become a tried and true staple for me. Along with several new products that I am interested in trying. Let's jump right in!


Morning:
Right after I brush my teeth, I like to use a moisturizer. I usually just use the neutragena moisturizer but I found this one at TjMaxx and decided what the heck I'll give it a go. I've been using this for the past couple of weeks and I like it. It doesn't have a weird smell or a sticky residue. I feel like my face hasn't been as dry.



After I moisturize if I still have dryness in my problem areas then I use my dermatologist prescribed medication.

Night:

I don't do this every night but if I feel like I'm starting to get an acne spot or just feel like my pores are a little bit cluttered I like to use the Clean and Clear Deep Action. It gives your face a cool tingling feeling and just makes my skin feel a bit more awake.


On night that I don't want to exfoliate my face I like to use the first aid beauty face cleanser. It gives a good lather and its of a milky consistency. It doesn't make my skin break out or feel any less dry. Sometimes I just use this on my lazy days.



If I am struggling with break outs I like to use the so totally clean deep pore cleanser. It contains salicylic acid which helps with breakouts and help prevent them. It smells like oranges and also gives that clean feeling.



Then I will finish off with the Olay night cream, its a rose color that smells great and gives me that added moisture. Not sure if I have noticed any firming but let's hope for the best.



Now I'm not saying by any means that I do this every day because let's face it we forget and are just lazy sometimes but I do try to take care of my skin as it is one of the things that makes me a little self conscious.

Is there anything you think I should add or take away from my routine?

Let me know!
