My Skin Care Routine

Here's a look into my own personal skin care routine!

My Skin Care Routine

When it comes to skincare, I am completely the grandma of my friend group. One time I went shopping for some anti-wrinkle face cream at Target and got some of those "based on what you purchased..." coupons for adult diapers.

Laugh all you want, I'm busy preventing those laugh lines with my skincare routine.

Here is some of my all-time favorite skincare advice from 21-going-on-81 year old me to you.

1. SUN. SCREEN.

Don't ever go outside without it. This is the absolute best way to prevent wrinkles so buy a moisturizer with SPF in it and wear it even on cloudy days. Even under makeup. Do it.

2. Drink green tea.

It's sooo good for you. Not only does it make your skin glow, but it has a million other cancer-preventing, metabolism-boosting health benefits.

3. Wrinkles.

Even if you're twenty, you're not too young to use anti-wrinkle cream. It's great for your skin and it's not too early to jump on that prevention train. I recommend using it at night because it's pretty powerful stuff and can tingle and cause a little redness.

4. Exfoliate.

I was once told that men get fewer wrinkles because daily shaving exfoliates your skin, and that's always kind of stuck with me. Don't exfoliate too much or too harshly, but a scrub or a peel every week or every couple days is a great idea.

5. DON'TSLEEPINYOURMAKEUP

I cant reiterate this one enough. It's terrible for your skin and can age your face a lot faster. It's good to wash your face every night, but let's be real, we don't. Keep some makeup remover wipe next to your bed so that even if you're the most exhausted, you can roll over and drag a wipe across your face. You'll feel better in the morning too, trust me.

6. LEMONS

Drink water with lemons. Put lemons on your food. Wash your face with lemon juice and honey and it'll make your face brighter. This stuff is good for ya.

7. Eye cream

Crows feet, dark circles, puffy eyes, can all be a thing of the past if we would all just use some dang eye cream. Pick up some of that old lady stuff from the drugstore.

8. Chill out.

De-stress. Take a break from makeup sometimes. Live your life like you're peaceful and full of life and only wear it when you want to.

You'll be a glowing old lady in no time.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.
