Glow up skincare 💗
Hello all :) here I’m reviewing my skin care routine for mornings! This specific routine leaves me feeling glowy and refreshed!
Micellar water: I normally use a wash off cleanser but today I didn’t have the energy - micellar water and a cotton pad are easier when I don’t have the “umph”, and it feels great. It is a bit sticky feeling for a while.
Toner: Thayers witch hazel toner is my favorite. It doesn’t stink, doesn’t burn, and leaves me feeling refreshed and, well, toned.
Eye mask: I bought this on TikTok shop. I’m not super impressed with it, but I haven’t tried many brands to compare them. They aren’t cut evenly so some are heavier than others. I like the moisturizing effect under the eyes though.
Serum: Prose custom serum! I absolutely adore Prose. If I had the money, I would be using that all the time. In my opinion prose trumps all other brands. The serum helps soothe my skin and make it glow. It’s very refreshing and in my opinion is a necessity for glowy skin.
Moisturizer: CeraVe morning moisturizer with SPF! I love this because it takes one step out of the routine (applying sunscreen). It doesn’t feel as creamy as I would want, but it does the job. I just use a bit extra, it feels like my skin just soaks it up.
Lip balm: banana boat SPF lip balm! It’s 45 spf which is great. It helped keep my lips moisturized and protected when we went on vacation to Mexico. I highly highly recommend it! It doesn’t smell bad, actually kind of good, and has aloe in it. When my mother in law got a bad sunburn on her lips, it helped them to feel relieved and cool.
What changed: I know the before and after pics look about the same, but trust me, I felt so much better after. I have oily skin so when I wake up, I am very shiny, but it’s not the right kind of shiny 😂. I wake up sticky and dirty and I after my routine I feel light, crystal clean, and glowy - the RIGHT kind of glowy!
Thanks for reading 💗

In the pursuit of glowing skin, choosing the right products is essential. Start with a gentle cleansing method such as micellar water, which is great for days when you need a quick refresher. Follow up with a toner like Thayers witch hazel, known for its ability to refresh without irritation. Incorporating an eye mask can also enhance your routine, providing targeted hydration and combatting puffiness, although quality can vary. The addition of a custom serum, like Prose, can truly elevate your skincare game, providing tailored benefits for your skin's needs. For moisture and sun protection, a hybrid product like CeraVe's moisturizer with SPF is a fantastic all-in-one solution. Lastly, don’t forget your lips; a good SPF lip balm, such as Banana Boat's, works well to keep your lips soft and safe from sun damage. Always pay attention to how your skin feels before and after your routine to adapt products and methods for maximum effectiveness. Experimentation is key to finding the best regimen for your unique skin type!
I love the witch hazel with rose water! It also helps with sunburns
