My Current Skincare Routine 2018

 I feel like I change my skincare routine every 6 months or so.  I'm not sure if it's a good thing, but this is what is working for me right now.  I feel like I say this every time I post a skincare routine, but I don't think my skin has ever looked so good as it does right now.  It probably helps that I had my first facial last weekend too.

 I first start by wetting my face and using my Foreo Luna mini 2 with my Aveeno Positively Radiant face wash.  If it's the end of the day and I've been wearing makeup I use the Equate brand of eye makeup remover (same as the Neutrogena one) and then go in with Clinique's Take the Day Off cleansing balm.

 The mask I've been using the most lately is the Aveeno 60 Second In Shower Facial, it makes my skin so smooth and I love the convenience of using it in the shower.  In the morning I like to use The Ordinary's hyaluronic acid as a base, but if I having a bad skin day I will use The Ordinary's Salicylic Acid 2% first and the the hyaluronic acid.  At night I like to use Niod's Multi-Molecular Hyaluronic Acid, for some more intense moisturizing.  Alternating nights I go for The Ordinary's Lactic Acid 10% ( I couldn't live without this!)  

I've been really loving the Dr.Botanical's Moroccan Rose Superfood Facial Oil as a last step after moisturizer during the day.

 Ever since I had a rash on my cheeks last year I've been scared to stray from my Eucerin Replenishing Face Cream, so it'll probably stay in my routine forever.

The two eye creams I'm using at the moment are my beloved Shiseido Benefiance Wrinkle Resist24 and the Olay Total Effects 7 in one which I've been using for about a month and liking so far.

Olay's Regenerist Luminous Facial Oil has been a staple, if I'm not applying the Dr.Botanicals oil I'm applying this one night and day.  I've just been loving using oils lately and I would suggest you try it out.

To finish off my face I spray some of Omorovicza's Queen of Hungary Mist.

I never ever thought I would rely on a facial mist but this has changed my mind.  When my skin is feeling really dehydrated I spray this about four different times through out my routine.  

I honestly think this has changed my skin the most out of everything. 

I have less breakouts, less redness, my skin feels so hydrated and smooth, it's just amazing.

Then I go in with the Hylamide HA Blur on my t-zone and a tiny bit under my eyes to help smooth things out, then I use ThisWorks InTransit Camera Close up all over for a perfect glow.  It's a mask, moisturizer and primer all in one.

I really enjoy using it as a primer and then I spritz a bit more of the mist and I'm done. 

The result, for me, is super glow-y, radiant skin.

Game Changers: Skincare

What skin care or makeup products have come into your life and been complete game changers?
I seriously want to know, so leave a comment below and fill me in on these magical items!

I am very much skin care (which I feel like I say every time I do a beauty related post) so mine are mostly skin care items, but I do have a few makeup items too.
Let's just get into it.

1. Forever and always the Neutrogena Pore Refining face wash.  I can always tell when I've been neglecting this product and always end up back to it after trying out new things.

2. Foreo Luna Mini 2.  I just bought this 2 weeks ago.  I'm in love.  It feels so good and gentle on the skin plus my face is so soft after.  It just makes me feel like I'm doing something to my skin.

3. Another cleansers I've been trying out is the Kiehls Calendula Deep Cleansing Foaming Face Wash and I really love this as just a gentle everyday cleanser.

4. Kiehl's Midnight Recovery oil.  I hate the smell of this but my skin thanks me in the morning which a beautiful glow.

5. Kiehl's Midnight Recovery Eye is a great eye cream and I have noticed a difference around my eyes.  I wake up with brighter eyes in the morning and it hydrates pretty well too!

6. Kiehl's Hydro Plumping Re-texturizing Serum Concentrate.
I received a sample of this and fell in love, so of course I bought the full size.  It is super hydrating and I love the light feel of it on my skin.

7. A cream I've been using for a couple years now is the Origin's Ginseng Cream.  My skin likes this,  I like it.  It moisturizes but doesn't feel heavy.  Unfortunately I am getting bored and want to try something knew.

8. Fresh eye cream.  This stuff.  I didn't want to repurchase it (hello, poor) but the delicate skin around my eyes drink it up.

9. Caudalie Instant Detox mask.  I have tried quite a few face masks and have my handful that I love, but this one is my all time favorite.  When I first tried it a year ago, I broke out the next day and vowed to never use it again, but hello, $40 is a lot for a mask, so I read up on it and tried it again.  "Instant Detox" means it's going to draw the toxins out of your skin and bring them to the surface (pimples), so this made much more sense.  Now I use this mask about once a week and my skin thanks me.

10.  Paula's Choice Skin Perfect 2% BHA Liquid.  I feel lost without this stuff. I use it before I apply moisturizers and serums in the morning and I am almost positive this is what keeps my skin so clear.

11. Frank's coffee body scrub (not pictured) and lip scrub.  I like trying the different scents (coconut, mint, chocolate etc) but I can do with the original as I am a coffee fiend and love the smell!  Plus it makes my skin oh so soft.  The lip scrub smells soooo good and feels so good on the lips!


12. I have two favorites to go at thirteen and that is because they are so freaking expensive and I usually only get them as samples!  Sunday Riley Good Genes, my god I would buy this stuff all the time if I could.  I bought a full size once and I think it lasted 3 months?  My skin loved it, I loved it, everyone involved was happy with this product. . . and then the price went up because of our sucky dollar.  Lancome Genefique, I've had 3 samples of this.  This first time I received it I never bothered with it for months until a lady said it was the most amazing thing ever. Now I love it but can't swallow the price.

14. Lastly, two makeup removers! I have repurchased the Neutrogena Oil-Free Eye Makeup Remover countless times and it is just the best for getting rid of stubborn mascara or eyeliner.

15. A new favorite is the L'Occitane Cleansing Oil. I freaking love this stuff! It's so good at removing a full face of makeup without having to rub at the eyes, it literally melts off your face. I love it.

I hope you enjoyed this! And Please let me know your game changers in the comments.
Have a great week!
