An effective AM skincare routine can set you up for healthy, glowing skin throughout the day.
Here's my go-to morning skincare regimen that keeps my skin fresh, vibrant, and radiant daily.
1. Renew Facial Toner
Because I have normal to dry skin, I apply Renew Facial Toner with a cotton ball six days a week. I cleanse with Renew Facial Toner or dampen my skin with warm water instead of using a cleanser so I don't overdry and strip the protective natural oils out of my skin.
On the seventh day of the week, I sub out Renew for Nashville Skin Date Night Pads. This weekly pad promotes smooth skin texture, even skin tone and the reduction of the appearance of enlarged pores. It enhances skin cell turnover, gently exfoliating dead surface cells to brighten and smooth skin texture and tone, while reducing the appearance of pores and calming redness in the skin.
If you have normal to oily/acne-prone skin, you will want to cleanse using Refresh Gel Cleanser in the morning before applying Renew Facial Toner six days per week followed by the Date Night Pads.
2. HYDRATE Moisture Accelerator
Next, I apply HYDRATE Moisture Accelerator to my skin, which helps my following products absorb into my skin better while also providing a layer of hydration.
3. Glow Vitamin C Serum
Then, I apply Glow Vitamin C Serum to my skin, which provides antioxidant support and boosts my sunscreen's ability to protect it from the sun.
4. Refine Eye Serum
Next, I apply one pump of Refine Eye Serum which is enough to distribute on the tops and bottoms of both eyes. If I have any product left over, I rub it on my ‘11’s’, the vertical lines by your eyebrows that appear when you frown.
5. Colleen Rothschild Illuminating Tinted Eye Cream
Colleen Rothschild Illuminating Tinted Eye Cream is my new best friend. This eye brightening cream is a powerhouse for lightening the under-eye area and setting a nice layer of coverage before applying concealer.
A little goes a long way, so one full pump is enough for me to treat both under eye areas. I apply in an upside down triangle underneath my eye to get full coverage of any darkness.
Note: This cream tends to be a little heavier in my opinion, so “priming” the under eye area with the Refine Eye Serum is an absolute must for this cream to layer beautifully and not cause skin creasing
6. Revitalize Facial Oil
In this next step, you can use whichever facial oil you use on your skin. I use Revitalize Facial Oil for antioxidant support and essential fatty acids to balance oil production.
7. Alastin Skincare Hydratint Pro Mineral Sunscreen
Finally, I apply sunscreen. The Alastin Skincare Sunscreen is a tinted sunscreen that provides mineral-based coverage. It’s the only makeup I use besides concealer.
And there you have it! Confident, radiant, glowing skin in 6-simple steps.
Invest in your AM skincare routine, and I promise your skin will thank you.
