Summer Skincare Routine

Morning Routine:

Cleanser: Clean & Clear Morning Burst Hydrating Facial Cleanser

This stuff is awesome! I been using this particular line for years and it is one of those products I always come back to. There are tiny beads that burst once it hits water and cleans deep not to mention also waking you up in process!

Moisturizer: Simple Protecting SPF 15

Just like the name, this is a simple moisturizer that contains SPF. It is very light weight yet gives just enough moisture to last you throughout the day.

Evening Routine: 

Cleanser: La Roche Posay Brightening Facial Cleanser

A lightweight cleanser that takes off all your makeup and dirt collected throughout the day. It leaves your skin soft and bright. It also has exfoliating properties without the beads like most exfoliators have, so this is great for those of you who have sensitive skin (GREAT FOR AGES).

Moisturizer: Olay Anti- Aging Evening Facial moisturizer

This is actually a product that I stole from my mom and just complete fell in love with it. It is a great evening moisturizer that is light weight yet super nourishing. It also has a nice perfumy scent that lingers so if you are not a fan of scents I wouldn't recommend this. You are also never too young to start using anti-aging products. The secret is prevention. By using products like these at a young age you are slowing down your skin's aging process and who can complain about that?

Eye Cream: L'Oreal Revitalift 

Eye cream is one of those products we tend to take granted and also tend to leave out in our skincare routine. No matter what season it is, it is extremely crucial to use eye cream. It helps with discoloration, under eye bags and circles. The skin under your eye is very fragile and sensitive and one of the first places that can give away a person's age. This particular eye cream is very light on the skin and feels very nice however I haven't noticed too much of a difference so this is one that I would not highly recommend.

Hope you guys enjoyed this post and took away something from it. All the products mentioned above can be purchased from drugstores nationwide! 

Clean and Clear Morning Burst Hydrating Facial Cleanser and Gel Moisturizer

Taking care of your skin is one of the greatest gifts you can do for yourself. In the cosmetic industry a lot of people have the sense that with makeup you can just stop taking care of your skin and use makeup to just cover up any imperfection. The truth is while concealer and foundations are saviors when it comes to our bad skin days it is extremely important to take care of your skin and NOT depend on cosmetics to make yourself look better. Cosmetics should be used to enhance your already great features. And the more you take care of your skin the less makeup you need to wear. For those of you makeup lovers out there heres a tip when you take care of your skin it also makes it a lot easier to apply your makeup and makes it look a lot better than without any skin care. 

One big misconception with skincare these days is that you have to spend a lot in order to take care of your skin. Guess what not true! While some of the expensive products do work really well it is absolutely unnecessary to spend hundreds of dollars. I seen people shed out $100 and up for just a moisturizer. 

Clean and Clear recently came out with a new facial cleanser and moisturizer. Clean and Clear is known for their effective and affordable skincare. Their most popular product has to be hands down their Morning Burst Facial Cleansers. They come in many different scents and types. Their newest edition to this line is their Hydrating Facial Cleanser. The packaging is the same as the other Morning Burst cleansers with the plastic container and pump. This particular cleanser is oil free (doesn't clog pores) and boosts your skin's moisture with cucumber extracts. It doesn't add any unnecessary ingredients that interfere with your body's natural moisture producing compounds. It has little bubbles inside that burst once it hits the water that helps not only clean your skin but also wakes you up. This is great for those of you who are not morning people and need that extra kick. The smell is pretty amazing too like a packet of Starbursts Candy. This product is great for dry skin but works with oily skin (for those of you with oily skin this will clean your skin really well however it does not control oil production throughout the day).

Along with this cleanser Clean and Clear also came out with a matching moisturizer. You do not have to use these products together to get great results. This Morning Burst Hydrating Gel Moisturizer is oil free, doesn't clog pores and with its lightweight gel consistency feels amazing and light on the skin. It moisturizes really well without leaving any greasy residue behind. It is great for both dry and oily skin and like the cleanser it also smells like Starbursts. This is a great dupe to the Clinique Gel Moisturizer that is around $26 a bottle.
