When it comes to skincare, I am very extreme; either I am doing 10 steps, or I am going to bed after wiping my face with a makeup wipe. Just like the gym though, skincare is something that you have to not only be passionate about, but also disciplined for.  No matter what the products I use, I have noticed that when I stay consistent and repeat the same routine every morning and night I always see results.
One silly way I get motivated is by watching skincare routines on YouTube. I love seeing how celebrities or influencers start their morning, or get “unready” in the evening. One tip they always have, is to no matter what, at least wash your face every night. If you are a product junkie like me, it’s hard not to try every new product that’s out there. But keep in mind, if you’re doing this, it might be hurting your skin. Always remember your skin type, and what works for your best friend might not work for you.
With any skincare routine there are a few really important steps that I never skip. I call these my “ride-or-die-can’t-live-without” products. I have to start every day with some Vitamin C. If you have never tried Vitamin C, try CLINIQUE Fresh Pressed 7-day System with Pure Vitamin C for one week, and your results will speak for themselves. The second must have is a hyaluronic acid; I use this after my Vitamin C and again at night. For that, I love the Moisture Surge™ 72-Hour Auto-Replenishing Hydrator because it’s lightweight and I also use the eye cream from the same line.
