On My Skin Care

I recently finished the book Skin Rules, and while most of the information wasn't anything new, I did learn a lot about protecting your skin from the sun.  It also got me thinking about how much my skin care routine has changed over the years.  I thought I'd share mine, and I'm curious to hear what your routine looks like!

Makeup Removal:

Physician's Formula Organic Wear Makeup Remover

I've used a variety make makeup removers, but this is what I've been using lately.  It does the job pretty well without stinging my eyes.  I think after this is used up I'll just go back to using water since I'm using a lot of organic makeup now that comes off easily!


Cleanser:

Noxzema Clean Blemish Control Foaming Wash

I've been using Noxzema for over a year now and love it.  It gets my skin nice and clean and feeling great.  It's the perfect amount of cleansing and moisturizing for me, and I use it every morning and evening.











Sunscreen:

Neutrogena Clear Face Liquid-Lotion Sunblock

I put this on every morning, whether I'm in direct sunlight or not.  It's a great product that's nice and light, my skin hasn't broken out using it, and it doesn't make my face oily.  Total win in my book. :-)






Moisturizer:

Aveeno Positively Radiant Daily Moisturizer SPF 30

 I picked this up after finishing Skin Rules because it has an SPF in it.  I really love this; it protects my skin, provides just enough moisture, and evens out my skin tone quite nicely.  I don't use it every day because my skin gets oily with too much moisturizer, but when I do, it's great. :-)

Burt's Bees Natural Acne Solutions Daily Moisturizing Lotion

When I need a little moisture right before bed, this is what I reach for.  I love all things Burt's Bees, and this is no exception.  Great product.





Exfoliation:

Olay Pro-X Advanced Cleansing System

I'm still on the fence as to whether this actually works.  I bought it after hearing such amazing things about the Clarasonic because it was cheaper.  Sometimes I feel like my wash cloth does a better job at exfoliating than this does, but I like to use it when a wash cloth isn't readily available.

Baking Soda

Yes, baking soda.  Use 1 tablespoon, and mix with enough water to make a paste.  Rub on face.  Repeat once a week for baby soft skin (no joke).

So that's my super simple skin care routine!  It usually takes me about 5-10 minutes every morning and evening, and as long as I keep it up, my skin stays (mostly) clear. :-)
