Slacking on Skincare

After keeping a perfect record for nearly 5 weeks, I slipped up. I fell asleep without doing any of my skincare. When it hit me the next day, I had skipped my morning routine too. I’m definitely seeing the consequences now! 🫣

I also ran out of my toner and there were shipping delays with my new one so I had to leave that out when I resumed my routine. I ended up purchasing the Good Molecules glycolic toner! I’ve been using it for a day and a half now, I can’t wait to see what it does for me! 🌞

My current routine is: cleanse with micellar water, then CeraVe hydrating facewash, tone*, spray Mario Badescu aloe and rosewater spray, apply Cetaphil acne Mattifying moisturizer

*mornings I use Thayer’s toner, evenings I use the Good Molecules

Follow along to see me achieve clear skin!!

... Read moreMany of us struggle with maintaining a consistent skincare routine, especially when life gets busy. In my experience, missing even one night of skincare can lead to unexpected consequences, like increased breakouts or dull skin. When I realized my mistakes, I knew it was time to reassess my approach. I've recently introduced the Good Molecules glycolic toner into my regimen, which is known for its exfoliating properties that can help improve skin texture and clarity. Additionally, using gentle products suited for your skin type can make a significant difference. I recommend incorporating a hydrating cleanser like CeraVe, which helps to maintain your skin's moisture while cleansing. It's also important to listen to your skin and adapt your routine based on its needs. If you're experiencing breakouts after skipping your routine, consider products with salicylic acid or niacinamide to help target acne. Maintaining hydration is crucial, too, so don’t forget your moisturizer! Developing a skincare routine that works for you may take time, but consistency is key. Don’t feel discouraged by setbacks; instead, use them as learning experiences. By sharing my skincare journey and being vulnerable, I hope to inspire others to embrace their skin challenges and seek out solutions for healthier, clearer skin.
