For the past few years I've been determined to achieve healthy, glowing, beautiful skin. Let's be honest: We all have our skin ups and downs, but having great skin doesn't always have to take so much work or effort. It has been totally worth it for me to incorporate these skin care tips into my life because, after all, I only have one face. My routine may seem like a process at first, but now it's like second nature to me and something I can't imagine not doing.
1. Water: I drink a lot of water, sometimes exceeding the 64 oz. per day expectation. Water does a body and a face good by helping to flush out toxins and deliver oxygen to cells.
2. Cleanse: Even at my darkest hour, no matter what time I get home, I always remove every stitch of makeup before bed. I use a cream cleanser because my skin is dry and a gentle exfoliator post-gym workouts. Get the grime out!
3. Tone: I've been guilty of skipping this important step, but I'm getting better at it. I apply it gently after washing my face with a cotton round. It instantly helps to give my skin a boost and who doesn't want that?
4. Serum: It aids in replenishing and improving the appearance of your skin and helps to give it a well-deserved glow. I use one before I apply my moisturizer. For night I use an overnight oil serum and find that I wake up to radiant skin.
5. Moisturize: I moisturize to help prevent the effects of aging. Anti-aging moisturizers are a must in my medicine cabinet! I will dive into anything that helps to firm, sculpt and lift. One option to try is Olay Regenerist Micro-Sculpting Cream.
6. Under-Eye Care: Dark circles and bags are my kryptonite so using a brightening eye serum day and night is a must for me. It helps to moisturize and brighten my under-eye area. If I ever wake up with severe bags, I put two teaspoons in the freezer for a few minutes and then rest them gently under my eyes. It can be transformative!
7. Mask: Once a month I treat my face to a clay mask—it's like a spa day. It's great way to help rejuvenate skin cells—your face will thank you!
