My Skincare Routine

I had some nice reader ask me about my skincare routine. That’s always such a nice compliment, so of course I’m happy to share!

 

 

Why haven’t I shared the whole skincare system before? Well, it’s nothing sexy. Some of it comes from a dermatologist.  And frankly, I have dabbled in a few other helpful things (like botox) so I can’t say this is ALL I do.

Also, let me be clear right up front: I’m not any kind of skincare expert; I’m just sharing what I do. My skin is normal to oily and is prone to breakouts, as well as wrinkles.  This is my current system, based on some advice from a dermatologist and an esthetician, as well as just my experience.

My Routine:

I remove my makeup with Neutrogena Wipes, a drugstore product that everyone loves.

I use Obagi Clenziderm to clean my face with my Clarisonic Sonic Facial Cleaner.  And sometimes if I get breakouts, I use Biore Charcoal Cleanser.

Then I use Glycolix 10% Cleansing Pads.

At this point, I use Obagi 20% Vitamin C Serum during the day. At night I use a dermatologist prescribed Retin-A mixed with the Obagi Blender.

Both the Retin-A and the Glycolix pads are strong exfoliators and if I understand correctly, it’s a good idea to work your way up to this amount of exfoliating.

And I use Elastiderm Eye Cream around my eyes. I go light with it during the day and put on a heavier layer at night.

I use Obagi Matte Broad Spectrum SPF 50 Sun Shield every single day.

Those are my tried and true, use-all-the-time products!

I do love to try different things and dabble here and there though. I’ve enjoyed trying the Sio beauty pads before a special occasion. And I just tried the Microdermamitt and like it as well.

That’s it, Friends!  Have a skincare recommendation for us? Be sure to share in the comments!
