My Sustainable Skincare Routine
12
items I did not get great genes in the skin department, so I work extra hard to keep it looking healthy! I'm in my early 30's, and sustainable, clean ingredients are important to me. Here is my personal routine in order.

Cleansing
Step 2 is always an oil cleanse (unless I have makeup on, I use micellar water first, then oil cleanser). The oil cleanser bar is gentle on skin but gets everything off before your more traditional cleansing.

Step 3 is your traditional cleansing (morning and night!). I use HiBar's hydrating face wash bar. It has amino acids instead of soap which makes it gentler on skin. It lasts me for MONTHS and it's plastic free which is a plus for me.
Hydrating & Moisturizing Face Wash Bar - HiBAR
Small but mighty facewash bar! This one is so easy to pack when traveling and despite its size, it's lasted me a while!
Face Wash Gentle Cleansing Bar - Fragrance Free - Dip
Toners, Creams, + Serums
Step 5 for serum again! I especially love this one for the extreme hydration. I use this the most during summer as my skin drinks it up, and sometimes I skip moisturizer, it's that hydrating!
Precious Oils Active Infusion - Activist Skincare
Step 5: serum! I have two favorites just depending on what my skin needs. My go-to is this hydrating serum bar. Yup, solid serum! It lasts a few months too

I am always looking for new products to help when I travel. This face oil has given my skin LIFE! Super hydrating which is perfect because I live in Florida

Step 6: a little bit of eye cream goes a long way! Pro tip: put this in a fridge for extra cooling

Step 8: Do NOT, I repeat, do not skip SPF for your face!!

If you don't gua sha - what are you waiting for?! Most gua sha are made from crystals, but the sourcing isn't always ethical. Upcircle's is stainless steel and PRO TIP put in a fridge for extra de-puffing power
