Hello and happy Tuesday!
Well, I didn’t mean to take yesterday off from blogging, but the three day weekend got away from me. Actually, we hardly did anything this past weekend which was just what we needed.
Today’s Tuesday Talk is all about skincare.
I was chatting with another blogger (hi, Mandy!) about skincare, and I always think it’s interesting to see what other people use for skincare and how they use it as well.
I’ve written a few posts through the years…
…but thought it was time for a little update. While some products change (as I like it try new things), Dime Beauty continues to be my “go to” for serums and moisturizers. I’ve been using Dime for at least four years.
I bought this organizer about a year ago, and it’s still working perfectly to house my skincare. I keep my makeup in this toiletry bag, and I also use it for travel.
I always start my skin care, day and night, by washing my face. I use CeraVe (I always get it at Target), and one of these facial sponges.
Then, I use a cotton round to apply Thayer’s facial toner. Target has the “rose petal,” scent toner, and that’s also where I get my cotton rounds.
I’ve always heard to apply skin care products thinnest to thickest, so here we go…
This “honey milk” by Farmacy is a new part of my skin care routine. Thanks to the cold weather, my skin has felt extra dry, so I’ve started to use a few drops of this product.
Then, I use my Dime serum. In the morning, I use Hyper Glow, and at night, I use Super Firm Serum.
After that, I use this Retinol eye stick. I’ve been using this for about a year, and while I’m not necessarily turning back the hands of time, I do feel like I’m doing something for my under eyes!
One of my friends is a Mary Kay consultant, and she recently sent me this “wrinkle limiter.” It’s pretty thick cream that you use for fine lines and wrinkles. So, this is a new part of my skin care routine, but I actually do feel my skin tightening a bit after using it on my forehead, between my eyes (my 11’s), and upper lip.
I don’t always use this Gold Bond neck cream, but I try to remember to do so. It’s such a great price, and I usually find it at Target. I figure why not use it when I can.
This “facial milk” is another Mary Kay product, and it’s a leftover as a duo with a retinol product that I used previously. It’s a very thin cream, so sometimes I apply it before using my thicker moisturizers.
Then, it’s moisturizer time. I use Dime’s Dewy Day Cream in the morning, and then Restorative Night Cream at night.
I still love my eye patches in the mornings (these or these) and my once a month facial/dermaplane/chemical peel.
So, that’s a(nother) look at my skin care routine. Truly, I don’t think I started washing my face and taking my makeup off before bed until about ten years ago. Now, I can’t imagine not doing my skincare routine. I know it may look like a lot, but it doesn’t take longer than two minutes!
What’s your favorite skincare product?
