skincare routine 💘
I lfinally feel like I figured out a skincare routine that works for my combination skin! I cycle my products and that’s made one of the biggest differences! 🫧
cleanser: I cycle my skincare so three times a week I double cleanse with an exfoliant first! I love fenty’s scrub as well as tatchas - I do use dermicologica on my nose pores and forehead on these days for an extra cleanse! I follow up with the glossier milk jelly cleanser! when I use vitamin c I use my avocado ceramide cleanser for barrier support! ☁️
toner: mediheals blemish toner pads are miracle workers! they are my cheapest toner option and have done the most for my skin! I swear these pads fixed my skin texture after just 7-10 days! I also swear by glossier’s salicylic toner it helps with breakouts as well! the tower 28 and caudalie beauty elixir sprays are my favorite for throughout the day! both of the glow recipe serum toners smell amazing and they hydrate the skin well! 🧖🏽♀️
serum: for hyaluronic acid and vitamin c I love innbeauty! for the rest of my serums I mostly use glow recipe and I cycle my skin care, so different serums for different days - I also love trying new products! when I use vitamin c I use hyaluronic acid and brightening serum! for the other days I use salicylic, hyaluronic, and niacinamide! 💗
moisturizer: drunk elephants new moisturizer is incredible but it’s pretty dense it’s definitely a night time moisturizer for me! tatchas water cream and glow recipes plum moisturizers are perfect for morning / daily use! I use glossiers moisturizer as a primer for my makeup and it works so well! 🧴
oils: summer fridays, drunk elephant, and gisou make amazing facial oils! gisou’s oil is thicker and perfect for dermaplanning! I love mixing drunk elephants marula oil with the moisturizer! ✨
masks / patches: starfaces collab with glossier is so cute I love their pimple patches! for masks I’ve been loving glossiers mega green mask! ordinary has an amazing salicylic acid mask for acne prone skin! I’ve been using the Florence eye masks and they depuff so well! 💕
sunscreen: supergoop’s tinted sunscreen is amazing! I love kopari and saie sunscreens too! I usually keep them in purse 👛
lippies: I use my fenty lip scrub or plouise scrubs before using my favorite laneige lip mask or gloss! 💄
dermaplanning: my favorite razors have been the crème brand ones but I found these cute ones at tj maxx for $2 and had to grab them! 🪒

Establishing a skincare routine can be daunting, especially for those with combination skin. Understanding your skin type is crucial in selecting suitable products that address various concerns without causing imbalance. To start, consider a dual cleansing approach, which means using both an exfoliant and a gentle cleanser daily. For sensitive areas, such as the nose and forehead, try targeted cleansers like Dermalogica for deeper pore cleansing, teamed with nourishing options like Glossier’s Milk Jelly Cleanser for barrier support. After cleansing, the application of toner is a vital step. Products like Mediheal’s blemish toner pads serve dual purposes: they can exfoliate and soothe the skin, promoting a smoother texture that many users rave about in just over a week. Incorporating serums is next; alternating between hydrating serums enriched with hyaluronic acid and treatments containing salicylic acid can reduce breakouts while maintaining hydration. Moisturizers play a crucial role in locking in moisture. Drunk Elephant’s new moisturizer is fantastic for night-time recovery while keeping the skin supple and ready for daytime activities with lighter options like Tatcha’s water cream. Sun protection should never be overlooked. Using tinted sunscreens, such as Supergoop’s formula, helps protect against UV damage while giving a bit of coverage. Additionally, incorporating lip scrubs and hydrating bail_masks will enhance your overall skincare journey, ensuring that every step caters to your unique skin needs. By cycling through these products and maintaining a consistent routine, individuals can achieve optimal skin health and a radiant complexion, embracing the uniqueness of combination skin.
