Build the Perfect Daily Skincare Routine for a Healthy Glow
You’ve chosen your makeup artist for your Big Day and mastered the everyday makeup look–now what?
Even the best makeup looks may fall short without a healthy canvas–a.k.a. your face! Whether you’re preparing for an upcoming wedding or just trying to look a little more glowy during your 9-to-5, there’s one surefire way to get healthier, brighter skin: a solid skincare routine.
With so many steps, it’s easy to get overwhelmed. To help simplify the process, I’ve put together this list of what your morning and night routine should look like!
Your Morning Skin Care Routine
Step 1: Cleanse - A skincare routine always begins with a thorough cleansing.
Step 2: Serum - Never skips serums in your bridal skincare routine! Serums protect the skin and lock in moisture. They will do wonders for any skin type. This is especially important as our skin matures.
Step 3: Moisturize + SPF -A good daily face moisturizer with SPF gives your skin a boost of moisture while protecting it from sun damage.
Step 4: Eye Cream - The skin around our eyes is extremely thin. No matter how young someone is, it never is too early to regularly moisturize and protect this sensitive area with a good eye cream.
Step 5: Exfoliate - This step should be done 2x3 times a week. Exfoliating strips off dry and dead skin.
Your Nighttime Skin Care Routine
Step 1: Cleanse - After a long day you want to cleanse and refresh your face.
Step 2: Serum
Step 3: Face Oils - Facial oils are AMAZING. It works for all skin types (even oily skin types) and works so fast, you can see results overnight. With continuous use, your skin can produce collagen quickly.
Step 4: Eye Cream
Step 5: Overnight Mask - A few times a week it will leave your skin vibrant. You can even do a 20-30 minute mask specific to your skin needs.
No matter what stage of life you’re in, you deserve to feel confident and beautiful. The first step is to build a skincare routine that works for your skin. Every makeup look will look 10x better when the skin beneath is healthy! Also, keep in mind when beginning any new skin care routine you want to make sure you aren't trying any new products weeks before any big event. Seeing an esthetician or a dermatologist months before is always a good idea, should you have specific skin care questions or just recommendations on products that suit your skin type.
