The topic for the second post of the #2014BloggerChallenge is all about skincare! This is an especially relevant post for me since I totally revamped my skincare routine last year. I never struggled with acne as a teenager, but last year acne became a concern of mine.. oh and aging- double whammy!
I’ve posted several times about my Clarisoninc here & here. I think by now you probably know that I love it, and hate going without it! It has hugely helped my skin- in fact just this week I was a little lazy two days in a row and slept with my makeup on and my skin is a HOT MESS right now. I’m dying and I vowed I’d never skip another night of taking off my makeup again!! I usually take off my eyemakeup with a real ‘makeup remover’ before I use the Clarisoninc, but I’m still on the hunt for a good makeup remover. I’ve used Clinique’s Take The Day Off and Lancôme’s Bi-Facil both are just okay, do you guys have any recommendations?
I also mentioned here how I changed up my facial wash and lotion last year. Now I’m using the Benefit: Foamingly Clean Facial Wash with my Clarisoninc to cleanse my skin & Benefit: Triple Performing Facial Emulsion as my moisturizer. Occasionally at night I’ll switch up my moisturizer- I have a few I’m trying to finish that I don’t love during daytime (they’re too heavy / greasy) but at night I’ll throw them on since I know I’ll just be washing my face in the morning anyways.
For daytime, most days I mix a little of my favorite CC cream Supergoop: Daily Correct CC Cream with my Benefit: Triple Performing Facial Emulsion to create my own custom blend of face moisturizer. I like to do this because I think the CC cream alone gives me a bit more coverage than I like/need, but without it I feel like my skin is uneven. I’m all about saving time, and by blending them together I’m killing two birds with one stone. Here’s how I create my custom blend {it seriously couldn’t be easier}
Step 1: take both products
Step 2: squirt a little of both products onto back of hand
Step 3: blend together
Step 4: apply to face!
