Through lots of trial and error, I’ve finally found a skincare routine that I can stand behind. I have sensitive, combination skin (oily T-zone with dry patches all over). Check out what I’ve been using and my thoughts on them below!
- Philosophy “Purity Made Simple” One-Step Facial Cleanser (twice daily)
- Gentle enough for everyday use
- Easily removes makeup without drying out skin
- Leaves skin clean and soft
- I can’t travel without this stuff — it keeps my skin balanced in any environment.
- Fresh Rose Floral Toner (twice daily)
- Calms redness
- Tones without stripping the skin
- I spray 2 pumps on a cotton pad and swipe all over
- The Ordinary. Granactive Retinoid 2% Emulsion (PM only)
- Lightweight, anti-aging treatment
- Fights against signs of aging
- I use 3 drops; 1 on my forehead and 1 on each of my cheeks
- TATCHA The Water Cream (twice daily)
- Lightweight, non-greasy moisturizer
- Reduces the appearance of pores
- Hydrates without feeling sticky
- I’ve noticed more even texture and less redness in my skin since using this moisturizer. It’s on the pricier side, but a little goes a long way
- The Ordinary. Caffeine Eye Solution 5% (twice daily)
- Reduces puffiness in eye contour (I use it under my eyes too)
- One drop is enough for both eyes
- Absorbs quickly
- Olay Active Botanicals Intensive Night Cream (PM only)
- Moisturizes without feeling heavy
- Skin feels soft and bright in the morning
- For the winter months this formula may not be heavy enough. At night, I use this over my daily moisturizer for maximum hydration.
- Olay Regenerist Micro-Sculpting Eye Swirl Cream (twice daily)
- Smooths and reduces the appearance of fine lines around the eyes
- Non-greasy, fast-absorbing
- Wears nicely under makeup
