My Sustainable Skincare Routine

Purple Star emoji 10 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.

Step 1 in my skincare routine: I keep this on starting when I brush my teeth and through most of the face washing process!

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.

Step 4 is a toner! I have been using rose toner for over 10 years. It is super hydrating and helps even out redness. I even use it as a refresh during the day to refresh my skin or makeup

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

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!

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

Step 7: UpCircle is a constant fav for me for it's upcycled ingredients that work! The aloe is super cooling and nourishing on skin
