Katie’s AM + PM Skincare Routine

I’ve become prettttty obsessed with skincare over the last two years. I went from never washing my face to putting a million products on my skin in the AM & PM. I have to attribute this newfound love to my older sister, Alie. Her skin GLOWS and she works hard for that glow. She is older than me & I probably have more wrinkles than she does. She inspired me to start taking care of my skin and I am forever grateful!

I wanted to share my AM skincare routine with you because it is tried and true! I’ve been following the same routine for a long period of time, so I am positive these products are working!!

To preface – I have dry skin and in the winter I love to stay hydrated. My favorite skin “look” is super glowy and dewy – nothing better than fresh skin!

MORNING SKINCARE ROUTINE

Step 1: Fresh Rose Hydrating Toner (mini size)

Step 2: ExLinea Peptide Smoothing Serum

Step 3: I switch off between the Neutrogena Bright Boost Illuminating Serum and the SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic Serum.

Step 4: OleHenriksen Banana Bright Eye Cream

Step 5: Bright Boost Moisturizer with Sunscreen SPF 30

EVENING SKINCARE ROUTINE

Step 1: Kiehl’s Calendula Deep Clean Foaming Face Wash

Step 2: Fresh Rose Hydrating Toner (mini size) – in the winter I do this 2x per day because it is hydrating and I want my skin to stay fabulousss

Step 3: ExLinea Peptide Smoothing Serum – this is a spot treatment so you can use 2x per day. I use on my forehead, area between my eyebrows and the area where crows feet appear.

Step 4: I switch off different nights between Sunday Riley Good Genes Lactic Acid Treatment and Sunday Riley A+ Retinol Serum – I’ll go into more detail below about these amazing serums!!

Step 5: OleHenriksen Banana Bright Eye Cream – the best eye cream!

Step 6: Charlotte Tilbury Magic Cream – it really is magic

WEEKLY

• A few times a week or if my skin needs a pick-me-up, I like to use the Summer Friday’s Jet Lag Mask. I have the mini size and it lasts forever!

• 1x per week, I use the GLAMGLOW Supermud Mask to clear out my pores!!

• 1x per week, I use the Neutrogena Micro-Polish to exfoliate off my dead skin cells!!

• When my skin is looking like it needs some extra love and glow, I use the Drunk Elephant Baby Facial Treatment – this is intense so start slow then work your way up!

• I retain water and salt TERRIBLY!!! Often, I need to use eye masks to help the puffiness if I’m going to a special event. The BEST (and I’ve tried sooo many) are the Wander Beauty Eye Masks. If you’re looking for a more budget option, the Bliss ones are AMAZING!!! Hot tip – store them in the fridge.

TIPS

• The place where you will get the most results for your $$$$ = SERUMS! If you are looking to revamp your skincare adding a serum is where I would start!

• My RIDE OR DIE product that I see incredible results and I am obsessed with – GOOD GENES by Sunday Riley. It’s an all-in-one AHA treatment, powered by lactic acid, that clarifies, smooths, and retexturizes the appearance of skin. I wake up with smooth and bright skin and I just cannot get enough!!!

• The other product I would recommend if you could only add one or two – A+ from Sunday Riley. I’m a HUGE fan of her products and think they work so well!! Retinol helps get rid of fine lines and wrinkles, dark spots, and dullness and uneven texture.

• I have THE DARKEST eye circles…no, I am not being dramatic…mine are really THAT bad. I’ve tried sooooo many different eye creams and I have actually seen great results from the OleHenriksen Banana Bright Eye Cream!! My dark circles aren’t gone but they are SO much better!!
