I got a few emails requesting that I share my skincare routine, so here you go. A few basics first, I have dry to normal skin, slightly sensitive and of late a bit acne prone. I am in my early 30s so anti-aging is very important to me.
AM:
Step 1) Cleanse your face with Cetaphil for normal to oily skin. I use this instead of the one for dry skin since it foams. I feels like it removes the oils etc. build over at night very gently.
Step 2) (optional) Every other day wipe face with salicylic acid pads. I use the ones from Oxy Sensitive cleansing Pads or its dupe from Rite Aid/CVS.
Step 3) Apply Vitamin C serum. I am loving Ole Henriksen's Truth Serum Collagen Booster.
Step 4) Apply sunscreen. I like La Roche-Posay Anthelios 60 Face Melt-In Sunscreen Lotion
Or this Neutrogena one.
PM:
Step 1) Cleanse with Cetaphil again.
Step 2) Apply Avene Diacneal (my retinol treatment) or Mama lotion (my AHA treatment). I alternate them (so one night retinol and the next night AHA, repeat)
Step 3) Apply moisturizer. I am loving Cerave's PM lotion for summers.
Step 4) If my under eye area is feeling dry, I moisturize with Nivea cream (the blue tin, I got mine from Germany). In winters I use this cream on my entire face.
WEEKLY treatment:
I use a 40% lactic acid peel every weekend. If my skin is feeling dry, I use the Korres Thyme Yogurt Mask.
