I have searched a long time for a good skincare routine and I finally think I found it! I still get break outs sometimes but it isn't as bad as it used to be.
Step 1: Eye Cleanser
I always clean my eyes first. I just put some eye cleansing oil on two cotton pads and I rub my eye makeup off my eyes. I just use a drugstore eye cleansing oil for this.
Step 2: Face Cleanser
Than I take my Purity Made Simple from Philosophy. I take a bit on my hand and mix it with some water than I massage it on my face for about one minute. Just to make sure that there is no make-up on my face left. Then I wash it off with warm water.
Purity Made Simple 240 ml €20,29
Step 3: Face Toner
To make sure that all the make-up and cleanser are off my face I use a toner as my last cleansing step. I really like Lush Eau Roma Water. I spray this on a cotton pad and wipe it all over my face.
Lush Eau Roma Water 250 g €11,65
Step 4: Serum
After all the cleansing steps I use a serum on my skin. I use Philosophy's Keep the Peace Serum to calm down the redness in my skin. (I also like Kiehl's Midnight Recovery Concentrate). I just take some drops and massage it in to my skin.
Philosophy's Keep the Peace Serum 27 ml € 45,71
Kiehl's Midnight Recovery Concentrate 30 ml €39,00
Step 5: Eye Cream
This is the first eye cream I have ever used and I really like it. I take a small amount of Kiehl's Creamy Eye Treatment with Avocado and tap that in to my under eye area.
Kiehl's Creamy Eye Treatment with Avocado €25,00
Step 6: Face Cream/Lotion
If you have read my Hope in a Jar review, you know about my search for the perfect moisturizer. I think that this is the best moisturizer I have ever used. I take a bit of Kiehl's Ultra Facial oil-free Lotion and massage this in to my skin until my face does not feel sticky any more.
Kiehl's Ultra Facial oil-free Lotion €24,00
Step 7: Treatment for break outs (optional)
When I have a really bad break out I use a special acne treatment so that it will go away sooner. I do not use one particular product. So I will just name all the products that I have used and that worked for me.
Benefit - Boo Boo Zap €20,00
Lush - Grease Lightning €10,15
Biodermal - Acne Cream €12,35
Just take some of the product and put it on the problem area.
After this my skin care routine is completed! I know these are a lot of steps and products, but if my skin looks good it is totally worth it!
I hope this maybe helps you finding your one skincare routine. Just try out a lot of products and see what works for you!
