Today, I’m so excited to finally share my latest everyday skincare routine, a post that is long overdue. I owe y’all all the details on what products I use and how I take care of my skin each and every day. Over the years I’ve tried many skincare lines and invested a lot of money on products that just didn’t work out for my skin type. The only two brands that consistantly keep my skin feeling amazing is Tula and Drunk Elephant. I don’t think I’ve ever tried a product from either of them that I didn’t like. But today I’m going to share the best of the best! My holy grail skincare lineup!
MY SKIN TYPE
For most of my life I have I have had super sensitive dry skin. I’ve always experienced occasional breakouts, and now with masks its really not helped.
I’ve had a long journey to find what works relatively well for me, and quite frankly, I’ve tried a lot of different products and methods. I thought I’d share what has been working for me, in hopes that it might also help some of you with similar skin issues!
THE ROUTINE
STEP 1: CLEANSER
I’m sharing my top four cleansers and why I believe they are the best of the best! ( You definitely do not need them all. I just want to provide as much knowledge of each and how they are wonderful for different reasons.)
–Drunk Elephant Beste™ No. 9 Jelly Cleanser–
The one cleanser I will you every single night. my #1. The BEST! The #9 removes all traces of makeup, excess oil, pollution, and any other grime from the day. It really leaves your skin feeling clean and refreshed. Its one of the only cleansers I can say my skin never gets dry from. It is also great for all skin types.
Every night I will gently massage over wet skin, rinse well and pat dry
Tip: I skip the morning cleanse, as it’s not necessary if you’ve cleansed your skin the night before.
–Tula super calm gentle milk cleanser-
When my skin is breaking out this cleanser helps calm my skin. If are very sensitive I highly recommend this one over any other cleanser.
Lightweight, milky texture both cleanses and calms skin.
Helps restore balance to distressed, irritated skin.
Hypoallergenic & tested safe for sensitive skin.
Non-comedogenic, so it won’t clog pores.
