My Current Skincare Routine: Winter Morning

One of favourite acts of self care is having a skincare routine. I've been dabbling into skincare since high school and I feel like finding the right products that work best for your skin is a trial and error process. In this post, I thought I'd share my current winter morning skincare routine. I'm still learning and I'm still trying to understand what works best for my skin. 

1. Cleanser - CeraVe Hydrating Facial Cleanser 

I start my morning skincare routine by cleansing my face and I've been using the CeraVe Hydrating Facial Cleanser. I've wanted to try this product ever since it kind of blew up on social media. This product was so hard to find and was sold out at every drugstore. When I finally found it, I had to grab it and see what the hype was all about. 

It's been about a month now of me using it daily and I'm not sure if I'm seeing amazing results. My face feels clean after using it but I think because of all the hype and attention this product was getting, I was expecting more? I'm not sure if I'll be repurchasing this product. 

2. Serum - Olehenriksen BananaBright Vitamin C Serum

Whew, this serum. Definitely disappointed in this one. I was so excited about this one too because I read reviews and it seemed to work well for many but it fell short for me. I honestly am not a fan of the pump for this product - the product doesn't come out seamlessly. I bought this product to help with the dark spots on my face - they're mainly on my chin area. Definitely not going to be repurchasing this product. Especially with the price whew. 

3. Moisturize - JetLag Mask by Summer Fridays

I've been using this product since it came out and I love it. I don't think I love it as a daily moisturizer though. I definitely prefer using this at night and applying it as a mask before bed. I personally believe in switching out products so that your skin doesn't get used to it and also I get excited when I try out new products. I'm almost done with my tube of this product but I don't think I'll be repurchasing any time soon. Mainly because I want to try new moisturizers. But I would probably be going back to this one in the near future. 

4. SPF - Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Water-Light Daily Face Sunscreen SPF 60

I like this face sunscreen. I think it wears well under makeup. There isn't any white cast from the SPF throughout the day. It blends in seamlessly on my face and it's super lightweight. Honestly, I only started applying SPF daily during the summer - it was never part of my skincare routine before - told you, I'm still learning.

That wraps up my current winter morning skincare routine. I like to keep things simple, I've learned that that's what works best for me. What products have you been loving lately? 

With love & light,

C
