My [spring 2019] Morning Skincare Routine

I've made slight changes to my morning skincare routine! Check out the products I use and why I love them!

FACE WASH: Caudalie Instant Foaming Cleanser | TONER: Origins United State Balancing Tonic | SERUM: Caudalie Vinosource S.O.S. Thirst Quenching Serum | EYE CREAM: Kiehl's Creamy Eye Treatment with Avocado | FACE-TANNER: Isle of Paradise Self-Tanning Drops | MOISTURIZER: Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion+ | TINTED MOISTURIZER: Josie Maran Protect + Perfect Argan Daily Tinted Moisturizer | MASK: Origins Original Skin Retexturizing Mask With Rose Clay

STEP 1: CLEANSE & TONE

Not much has changed here. I still use the same face wash and toner in my Winter 2019 post!

I still love how refreshing both of these products make me feel in the morning. And I love the way the toner balances my skin tone before applying anything else!

FYI, I use the toner 2x's a day. I switch up my face wash at night since more cleansing is needed!

STEP 2: TREAT

Another product repeat! Still so in love with this serum and how moisturizing it is for my skin! It’s scent is also fresh and feels super light!

STEP 3: EYES

I first tried Kiehl's products at the Equinox gym I went to in Manhattan. And I fell in love! So I decided to give this Kiehl's Creamy Eye Treatment with Avocado a try! I love how thick and moisturizing it is - perfect for my dry skin! It also immediately brightens my under-eye area! So far, I love it!

FYI, I use this eye cream 2x's a day - once in the morning and again at night!

Also want to point out that I had an eczema break out on my eyelids and I used this cream to moisturize it and it healed it! Definitely recommend!

STEP 4: MOISTURIZE

I like to switch off moisturizers depending on what I'm doing for the day. If there's generally nothing on tap (except a workout), I like to use the Isle of Paradise Self-Tanning Drops + the Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion+! On days where I'm working or want to wear a little "cover up" I use the Josie Maran Protect + Perfect Argan Daily Tinted Moisturizer. It feels like a weightless foundation - so I love it! Put this on with a little brow pencil & mascara and voila! Ready to take on the day!

I also love the self-tanning drops!! Finally - a product to help my face match the rest of my body! I absolutely hate exposing my face to UV rays because it can be really damaging. So I'm always on the search for ways to keep my face matching my body! I found a few products I love but decided to give these tanning drops a try! Totally love! Just beware, it works... and it works well! They aren't joking about the coloring! I saw immediate results! I followed the recommendation and thought the color was too heavy. Instead, I use 6-7 drops, only in the morning and I love the result!

ONCE A WEEK: MASK

I'm not a fan of exfoliating my face. Mostly because I lean more towards dry skin. But it also doesn't help that I live in a dry-climate area! So exfoliating my skin can really do some damage to my face! However, I love this Origins Original Skin Retexturizing Mask With Rose Clay! It does have an exfoliating type of product in it - maybe kosher salt? Nonetheless, it allows me to gently exfoliate and treat my face without causing much harm. I feel like it gives me the extra cleaning and treating my face needs! Sidenote: Origins recommends use of this product 2-3x's a week for those with oily skin. Obviously, I don't follow that, but I do love this product!
