Winter is gone. I love winter in Puerto Rico because it is warmer but in Texas we experienced extreme cold weather this year followed with over sixty degrees weather the following week. My skin survived the dry air during the nights. I already had a micro-needling session to welcome spring. You can read about my experience with micro-needling in my post: Fractional Radio-frequency MicroNeedling.
I wash my face every night. I do double cleansing with Farmacy Green Clean Makeup Removing Cleansing Balm or with Eve Lom Original Cleanser with a muslin cloth. Afterwards, I wash my face with Tammy Fender Purifying Cleansing Gel with Spearmint and Alfalfa.
I change cleansers more often than other products. Oneof the products that I keep buying back to back is Farmacy Green Clean Makeup Removing Cleansing Balm. This product contains Sunflower and Ginger root, Turmeric and Moringa Extract and Papaya Enzymes. This product melts away makeup but I feel it works better with a muslin cloth. I have bought Tammy Fender Purifying Cleansing Gel in the past and saw it again in a Goop Pop Up store and got it again. This product is formulated with Spearmint and Alfalfa. It is herbal formula that is manufactured in small batches and great for combination skin. It is also very good for cleaning skin during the morning because is gentle.
Once a week, I use Goop Glow 15% Glycolic Acid Overnight Glow Peel. This is an intense exfoliating acid peel pads with 15% of glycolic acid and fruit extracts. This pads retexturize, refine and brighten the skin during while we are resting. It also contains hyaluronic acid to hydrate the skin as well to wake up to glowing and rested skin.
The pads are very strong therefore I recommend begin with the 5% percent formula if you have sensitive skin.
The rest of the days during the week, I use one of two products. One is Sarah Chapman Overnight Facial This is a serum-oil product to plump, smooth, firm skin to wake up to rested and glowing skin. Another product I buy once in a while is Estee Lauder Advance Night Repair Synchronized Multi Recovery Complex. This is a serum with a gel consistency that helps ignite the repair process every night while you sleep. Lock moisture for 72 hours with hyaluronic acid. It is the star product from Estee Lauder. I have known about it since my teens and it has been reformulated through the years. It can be used during the day as well as a serum.
I end with eye cream. I like to use a stronger, nourishing antiaging cream. I am currently using St. Jane Beauty Bright Repair CBD Eye Cream. This eye cream in specific is very nourishing but it is light. It is alight balm, almost a gel product that also contains 10% of Vitamin C to brighten the eye area. In my opinion this a great eye cream with a good price point of $65.00 with the luxurious consistency of more expensive creams.
This routine takes me three minutes. Maybe it takes me a few seconds more if I am wearing make-up. It is a habit, very easy to me. I is routine, like brushing my teeth. I change the products sometimes to add some overnight masks if I feel that my skin is very dehydrated or if I am testing a new product.
The last step is to sleep between seven to eight hours. I wake up without an alarm. If I am not sleeping my hours, I can see it in my skin and the fatigue lingers during the day. Please, sleep. Generally, this is free.
