Daily Skin Care Routine

Everyone has their own routines, especially when it comes to skincare.  Since a young age, my mom continuously stressed to my brother and I the importance of taking care of your skin. It's taken me quite some time to find the products that work best for my skin type.  Over the course of the past year I have finally found a routine that seems to work for me. By no means do I have perfect skin, but it's pretty good if I say so myself. Naturally, I get the occasional stress zit but my breakouts have decreased significantly. In my perfect world I would wash my face twice a day... If I'm being honest this doesn't always happen.  Realistically, I wash my face at least once a day each morning.  If I have any makeup on I remove it with Burt's Bees peach or cucumber makeup remover wipes.

I begin by wetting a washcloth with luke-warm water. Next, I use clinique's face wash. It doesn't have a scent and is perfect for sensitive skin.  I scrub my face with my clean hands, and then use the washcloth to remove the soap.  I usually rinse the washcloth and wipe my face off a second time to ensure that all of the soap has been removed.  Next, I pat my face dry with a towel.  The next major step is to apply toner with a small cotton ball. This toner removes any dirt that may not have been washed off.  Finally, I apply Clinique's facial moisturizer.  This third product also has a minimal scent.  It has a light texture, so it can be used during every season.  It is especially helpful in the winter when my skin tends to be a bit more dry. 

If you are thinking about trying a new skin care product, I recommend purchasing it in a travel size first because if you end up not liking it then you won't be wasting money on a bigger amounts.
