My Morning Skincare Routine

My morning skincare routine really hasn’t changed since the shelter in place orders we received in California a few weeks back. I’m shopping my stash and trying new products, but haven’t really strayed from my normal morning routine. I filmed my routine for you all to watch too!

Cleanser

I’ve been enjoying the 107 Chaga Cleanser for a few weeks now. It’s gentle and gets the job done. mild and acidulous cleanser that clears the skin with Chaga mushroom and 10 Complex. It’s made with Inonotus Obliquus Extract (Chaga mushroom) that moisturizes.

Toner

Paula’s Choice Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant has been treating my skin well in my morning routine. I switch toners often but always find myself going back to this cult fav. It’s a gentle leave-on exfoliant with salicylic acid quickly unclogs pores, smooths wrinkles, brightens and evens out skin tone.

Serums

Timeless Skincare makes really good and affordable skincare. I’m on my second bottle of their 20% Vitamin C + E Ferulic Acid Serum. I mix it with Paula’s Choice Peptide Booster to kick it up a notch. It really helps unlock firmer-looking skin with eight powerful peptides that make skin more resilient and reduce the appearance of lines. I don’t use tons of serums in my morning skincare routine because I normally put on makeup. I find that some products don’t layer well! I like to keep it short and sweet.

Moisturizer

Dermalogica’s Active Moist is hands down one of my most favorite moisturizers. It sits well under makeup and I feel like my skin really benefits from it. The Active Moist formula contains Silk Amino Acids and a unique combination of plant extracts that help improve skin texture and combat surface dehydration.

SPF

I’ve been testing out Dermalogica’s Invisible Physical Defense SPF 30 these past few weeks. It sits well under makeup and I love the way my skin feels with it on. It’s not too heavy and doesn’t leave a white cast. I switch up my SPF’s depending on what I’m doing that day and how I feel. I also love the Paula’s Choice Essential Glow Moisturizer SPF 30 and Super-light Daily Wrinkle Defense SPF 30.

Eye Gels

I love the Patchology Chill Mode Eye Gels. I love Patchology’s eye gels and use them often and they’ve become a great addition to my skincare routine!
