#13 - Develop a skincare routine

*Disclaimer - This post is in no way a paid endorsements.  Products mentioned here are items I purchased myself and genuinely use daily.  


It feels good to tackle some things from my 101 list.

I have a feeling that my skincare routine will never really be complete, but I realized that for the last year or so, it's been pretty consistent.  Thus - a skincare routine is born.

Truthfully, my skincare routine is pretty simple.  I wash my face every morning and almost every night.  The only time I don't wash it at night is if I didn't do anything or wear any makeup that day.  I put lotion on every time I wash it and sometimes in between.  I use the Bioderma to take off my eye makeup and lipstick (recommended by Lisa Eldridge because it is not oily).

I should use the night firming cream more often, but I'm lazy and I forget easily.  I know as I'm rapidly nearing 30 I should be better at it.  It's good preventative application.

The Benefits eye cream says that it reduces dark circles and puffiness.  I'm not sure if that's really true, but I'm still using it...every damn day.

The newest item is that trial sized bottle of Clinique Moisture Surge.  My mom gave it to me from her gift bag from a recent purchase.  I LOVE it.  I actually enjoy putting it on at night after I wash my face.  I imagine this would be a wonderful lotion in the summertime when your face is tired from being out in the sun all day.  I plan to purchase a regular size of it soon.
