Complete 10 Step Skincare Routine

This is a complete breakdown of my current skincare routine, please make no mistake on the fact that I DO NOT DO ALL THE STEPS EVERY DAY. Only you know your skin the best and only you know what it needs that day. So depending on the needs of your skin please pick and choose the steps below.

I have tried a lot of products over the years and these are just my personal favorites and what I have found works best for me.

1.Cleanser

Double cleanse

double cleansing uses a two step process that first start with a cleansing oil, balm or micellar water to break down make-up, SPF and sebum on the surface of your skin as a first step, then following it with a deeper water-based cleanse.

STEP 1:

For my Oil cleanser I use

Mamonde Petal Spa Oil to Foam Cleanser

STEP 2:

Daytime:

Erno Lazlo Detox Cleanser - Not too harsh

Since you don't wake up w makeup on (or shouldn’t) This is a gentle cleanser that gives you a healthy morning glow.

Night-time:

For When I feel a breakout coming on:

Kate Somerville ExfoliKate® Intensive Exfoliating Treatment.

Or Normally Belif foam cleanser

2.Exfoliator

Exfoliating my skin 2-3 times a week

Amore Pacific

Treatment enzyme peel exfoliate powder that is water activated.

Cane & Austin 20% glycolic Peel but for a less intense peel start off with the 2% salicylic acid /5% glycolic acid blend first before moving onto the 20% intensity.

For a more complex but even more effective option that covers all ground try Bluemercury’s M61Skincare 3 Step Pads

Hydraboost Serum pad - provides 48 hr hydration

Vitablast C™ Serum Pad - brightens

Powerglow® Peel - resurfaces, clarifies and helps to firm the skin

3.Mask

I personally love Sleeping Mask: You don't have to rinse them off, you can go to sleep with them on! Hence the name haha

If I feel like skin need some R&R - Mamonde Calming hydro sleeping mask

For Hydration I use the Aqua bomb sleeping mask by Belif

For the perfect Glow the next morning try Glow recipe watermelon sleeping mask

When my skin is SUPPPPERRRR DRY like when I am sick and blow my nose too much dry I use the Origins Drink Up Intense Hydration Mask. A holy grail i have been using for yearsssss.

4 & 5: Toner/essence

Toner: Kiehls Calendula Herbal Extract Alcohol-Free Toner

To balance the skin's pH levels, it's important to apply toner; otherwise the skin can become dry and dehydrated. Toner further helps to absorb the next products you apply.

  • Gently cleanses and refreshes facial skin without harsh synthetic drying agents

  • Soothes and improves the feel of skin

  • Formulated with Calendula, Burdock Root Extract and Allantoin

  • Alcohol-free

  • For normal to oily skin types, including sensitive skin

Essence: Vintage Single Extract essence by more pacific

An anti-aging essence that rejuvenates the appearance of skin's clarity, tone, and texture.

6: Serums

Concentrated formulas with an unprecedented amount of active ingredients, serums target specific skin concerns like wrinkles, dark spots, and dehydration.

Essence is a hybrid between a toner and a serum. It works perfectly to hydrate the complexion, aiding cellular turnover for a youthful appearance.

Night Time:

Estee Lauder: Night advanced night repair

Daytime:

Clarins double serum

The anti-aging treatment enriched with 21 plant extracts that uses a hydrolipidic and biomimetic double formula to optimize the performance of the skin's five vital functions: hydration, nutrition, oxygenation, regeneration and protection. This multi-tasking serum does it all!

7: Moisturizer

Glowing complexion

Magic cream by Charlotte Tilbury - Even comes with special applying instructions

Nourishing

Darphins Rose hydra nourishing oil cream

For Hydration I use Belif Aqua bomb moisturizer that comes in both a Gel base and Cream based formula. For oily skin type use the gel base formula.

8 & 9: EYE CREAM & LIP CREAM

Eye cream:

Smooth a light eye cream across both the brow and socket bone moving from the inner to outer corner of the eye. Here, the skin is at its thinnest as there are no sebaceous glands to produce natural oils, so it's important to keep this area hydrated and protected all day long.

1.Rodan & fields eye concentrate

2. Lancome Anti-fatigue cooling eye gel

3. Laneige eye sleeping mask

BONUS: Eye Cream Applicator

Real techniques under eye reviver tool

Lip cream: LANEIGE - Lip Sleeping Mask

10: Sunscreen:

Sunscreen is a super important step because it shields From Harmful UV Rays: The continuously depleting ozone layer has put us at a higher risk of getting affected from the harmful rays of the sun.

My personal favorite

PETER THOMAS ROTH Instant Mineral SPF 45

A brush with built in powder that is super easy to apply and use.
