Step 1: Facial Cleanser.

Face cleanser is SO important. When picking the facial cleanser for you, you have to determine two things: what kind of skin do you have and what do you want the cleanser to do for your skin? I have combination oily/dry skin and I needed a soap that could keep my skin balanced, hydrated, and prevent breakouts. After literal years and years of searching, I stumbled on my holy grail...

Step 2: Facial spray/toner.

Next, I spray my face with a facial spray. Facial sprays/toners are important because they help boost your skin, hydrate your skin, and minimize pores. I personally use a different spray in the morning and night - personal preference. In the mornings after washing my face I like to spray my face with Mario Badescu's Facial Spray with Aloe, Herbs, and Rosewater - I prefer this spray for the daytime as it moisturizes my skin and gives it a nicer glow! Before bed, I change my skincare routine slightly intensifying it so in the nights I prefer to use the Glycolic Acid Toner by Mario Badescu as it works to balance and prevent my skin's prone to oiliness and yet hydrating it.

Step 3: Moisturizer.

Lately, I've also begun experimenting with under eye creams. As of now, I'm pretty satisfied with Kiehl's Rosa Artica Eye Cream! A true anti-aging cream, this unique formula helps to smooth out any wrinkles and brighten up those dark circles! I apply this right before my moisturizer ideally.

Moisturizer is an uber important to skincare and honestly one of the most important steps in a skincare routine. Properly moisturizing your skin can lead to healthier and cleaner skin - as well as younger-looking! My summer fascination this year is my utter fear of aging and signs of aging on my skin. Ergo, moisturizers and facial creams are my kryptonite.

I've always stayed loyal to Clinique when it comes to skin products because I feel as though they are one of the few brands that pretty much suits any and all skin types and conditions. My obsession is the Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion. I apply the lotion all over my face and neck twice a day. A little goes a long way with this moisturizer!
