Savvy Skincare: My Daily Routine

Many of you have been asking me what I use to keep my skin looking young. It’s a bit of chore, especially because I have a lot of sun damage from my teen’s and early 20’s which resulted in hyper-pigmentation. For my nightly routine, I always start with a makeup remover wipe to take off most of my makeup. Then I squeeze a quarter size dab of my facial cleanser on my Clarisonic scrub brush to perform a deeper cleanse on my face. I use warm water on a soft face cloth to clear off the scrub, splash some water on my face then pat dry. Never pull or rub on your skin when drying.

Next it’s moisturizer time. Not only great for overnight but in the morning moisturizers help prime your skin for makeup application. I’ve been wanting to try a few products from the Olay Regenerist line because I’ve read great reviews. I typically test out new products for a solid 2 weeks to see if it’s for me or not. One of the products I tried was the Olay Regenerist Advanced Anti-Aging Wrinkle Revolution Complex. For the first week I was really loving the feel of this on my skin and noticed a smoother finish. During the second week, my skin wasn’t absorbing it as nicely. It’s hard because I have what I call “finicky” skin. Some days it cooperates and other days it doesn’t. I was hoping this would be a good match because it’s hard for me to find a consistent moisturizer. Remember everybody has a different skin type and challenges, so what may not work for me may work for you. I recommend trying any new product for 2 weeks.

The other Olay product I tested and continuing to use because I LOVE it so much is the new Regenerist Micro-Sculpting Eye Cream & Lash Serum duo. This dual-ended product contains an eye cream which did smooth and firm the appearance of my lids and soften the appearance of my fine lines. It even brightened up the look around my eyes which is a big plus for someone with dark circles.

The lash serum nourished and thickened my lashes after using it for a few days. No it’s not a lash grower like Latisse. It seems to keep lashes healthy as far as I can tell. I kept the two ends of this product separate, although you can attach them together. It was easier for me to store in my medicine cabinet and I like carrying an eye cream in my purse for the days when my skin is feeling extra dry especially with the weather changing.

I usually test new moisturizers throughout the year, so check back for updates. Oh and now you’ve seen me with no makeup on!
