♡ My Skin Care Routine + Tips To Finding Yours! ♡

Hi guys,

I'm sorry, I know I've been gone for awhile but I was away on vacation and I had no wifi. But I decided to launch off my posts with my skin care routine! I love skin care products and I'm always looking for new things to try out so I love these posts. Let's get started!

Ok so my skin. I have pretty dry skin, it tends to get very dry around on my nose and forehead, AKA I have a very dry t-zone. This might sound weird but whatever, I get pretty oily on my eyelids which sucks because finding a primer for that is rather hard. I have pretty normal skin on my cheeks. According to Clinique, I have dry combination skin. I don't do skin care every day because I tend to break out if I do but I try to do it at least once a week.

I believe the first step to finding your skin care routine is getting familiar with your skin. Not all products are going to work for dry skin and not all products are going to work for oily skin. If you don't already know your skin type then I suggest you take Clinique's little evaluation to find out! The second step is prioritizing. What is your most concerning issue? Is it break outs, pimples, black heads, white heads, ashy skin, peeling skin, etc... For me my most concerning issue is dryness and scarring, whenever I get pimples I tend to scar.

Now for my skin care routine:
(PS: I'm sorry if the pictures are a little dark but it's been raining all week and lighting is terrible!)








Scrub: St Ive's Naturally Clear Apricot Scrub $3.29
St Ives
If you read my posts then you know that I love this so much. This removes blackheads, cleanses my skin, and prevents break outs. St Ive's also has different scrubs for different skin types, I've never tried then but they're probably good! The Apricot scrubs have three different types, so pick the one that you like most!

Moisturizer: Clinique Dramatically Different $25.00
I actually really enjoy this moisturizer, I only need a pump of this so it lasts me a while. I hate using moisturizers that don't have pumps cause then it gets messy and blah blah.



Spot Treatment: Clinique Spot Healing Gel $22.50
I'm pretty sure that Clinique doesn't sell these anymore but I get them off of Clinique on Amazon and it's the exact same thing! I've been using this product since I was in the eighth grade and it always works! If I have a pimple i just put this on top of it wait a few hours and then it's gone! This little bottle will literally last you months and it's so worth the price! You can find it here if you want, I highly suggest that you check it out if you have some extra money! You will not be disappointed!



Toner: Lush Eau Roma Water $9.95
I have the smaller bottle because I wasn't sure if I'd like it but you can purchase a bigger one of this! This refreshes my skin and cleans off any dirt that I have on my face... I just spray it onto a cotton ball and wipe it all over my face..


Hope you guys enjoyed this post!
