Daily Skin Care Routine

Over the weekend I had several people comment on my face.  I think the word was "glowing" and they were convinced I was pregnant (I'm not).  I thought it was so funny because in the past month or so I've really noticed that I'm finally happy with my skin!  I'm not acne prone, but I had never liked my skin texture or the occasional red splotch I would get.  After getting questions about what I'm using on my face, I thought I'd share with you the daily skin care routine that I've found to be the best for my skin.

I use St. Ives Apricot Scrub every morning when I first get in the shower.


Every morning I cleanse my face with Origins A Perfect World cleanser.
I make sure to cleanse my face after I shampoo and condition my hair
to prevent hairline breakouts.  Also I leave my
cleanser on my face for 30-45 seconds.


After moisturizing I lightly brush on Mary Kay Mineral Powder. 


Then I use a little bit of Mary Kay Mineral Bronzing Powder in Sandstone.

Before bed I remove my makeup with these and cleanse my face 
with Aveeno Ultra Calming Foaming Cleanser.
Even when I'm really tired I never let myself go to bed
without taking off all my makeup and washing my face.



Again, this is what I've found to be the best for my skin.  It takes a while of trying different products and routines to figure out what works best for you.  For other skin care products that I like and use, see this post.  Also check out Lindsay's blog!  She gives amazing skin care tips that I have found really helpful!

What is your daily skin care routine?

    I love Lindsay's tips! I just started using argan oil for a moisturizer. Not sure how it is going to go yet but it seems to be the new in thing!

    As soon as I saw on facebook that you had posted this I knew you would reference those comments from this weekend. My favorite was Emily's "Your face looks good, what do you do to it?"

    Growing up, I always went to bed without washing my make-up off. Now, when I get home from work, I always want it off first!

    I love the Say Yes to Cucumbers line. It feels so good without feeling thick and goopy like some moisturizers. I've heard great things about the origins creams too!

    I need to follow the great steps that you take with your skin! I'm too lazy at bedtime to always wash all of the makeup off, but I think I should start. I'd like to have a natural all-the-time 'glow'. AND, I can't wait for the day when you are pregnant :)
