Anti-Aging Daily Routine💆
Mandatory Sunscreen and Sun Protection☀️
First Up: Cleansers🧼
These are my usual go-to cleansers that remove makeup, sunscreen, and impurities without stripping my sensitive skin. They are very simple and last a long time, so also a great buy for my sensitive skin.
First Step (oil-based cleanser): great first wash to remove makeup and sunscreen from your face. It doesn't actually foam up but it does slide onto your skin easily and removes mascara (even waterproof mascara) easily. I follow up with a moisturizing...

Step 2 (cleansing #2 for clearer skin): Lush has amazing face cleansers like Telling the Bees and Sleepy Bear. They are silky smooth and a great first step to your morning routines and in the shower or tub. Can be used daily as a second wash and they...

Step 3 (Hydration): Applied after cleansing to boost moisture and prep skin for actives. Gentle, fragrance-free, and dermatologist-recommended. MUST have water on your face or it will actually dry out your skin by pulling moisture out.

Step 4 (Vitamin C - Stronger Option): To brighten my skin, neck, and back of hands. A little gritty, but not abrasive. This makes it not best for sensitive skin because it's more likely to irritate. My skin is getting so clear I look like I need a ta...

Step 5 (Eye Area): Targets under eye circles due to thinning skin. Light and easy to use. Great for use on eyes with thin skin and NOT skin pigment.
Target Dark Circles Around Eyes With Multi-Peptide Eye Serum
Optional Step 6 (Dry Skin Days): Added when skin feels tight or dehydrated, but can use it at night instead. It is good for my sensitive skin and makes my skin feel incredibly smooth and marshmallowy.
Neutrogena Hydro Boost Gel Cream, 1.7 oz
Optional Step 6 (eco-friendly- for dry skin days) For another moisturizer option that is more non-toxic, eco-friendly than Neutrogena's Hydro Boost. Goes on easily at night and in the morning below sunscreen. Great for sensitive skin that is unscente...

Trader Joe's Daily Facial Mineral Sunscreen SPF 40
Step 7 (other option): this is known as the official Supergoop Unseen Sunscreen doop. It feels like marshmallows on your face with absolutely no white cast because it's mostly clear. Goes on so well and is great at moisturizing my skin. Should put on...

Step 8 (the entire body): this is a larger version of Trader Joe's Daily Face Sunscreen (or rather the Supergoop Unseen Sunscreen official dupe). Again, goes on like marshmallows and is super moisturizing and velvety.

Step 8 (entire body) this is another option if you prefer mineral sunscreen for your body. This goes on white and quickly absorbs into your skin and leaves no white cast. Is not heavy and goes on silky.
