items Springtime brings in weather changes that affect my skin (hello wind, rain, random sunny days, and alternating hot and cold temps). To give my skin some balance, I change up my skincare routine to focus on skin barrier health, reducing texture and li...

Serums
Daily + nightly, 2-3 drops total for each serum (less actually works better for most of these!)
Optional step 1: Dive In is favorite travel hyaluronic acid! I don’t use this at home because it’s so dry where I live, but when I’m anywhere with humidity, my skin & lips LOVE this hyaluronic acid from Torriden. Plump and happy.
When I use thi...
Torriden
Step 2: alpha arbutin is a lightener in combination with vitamin c in this serum. This helps fade dark marks and dullness. I use this on my whole face, but I tap an extra drop on any dark spots to help even them out. I noticed a huge difference in my...
Brightening Serum with Vitamin C & Arbutin
Step 3: I use two drops of this in the am + pm everyday as the third layer. This antioxidant brighten my complexions and combat dullness! It’s very affordable for how far it goes. This is one I never skip!
The Ordinary - Pycnogenol 5%
Step 4: this is my last step before moisturizer. I feel like it seals in my serums to create a nice base under my makeup. Ginseng is anti inflammatory and I’ve noticed a difference between using this ginseng snail mucin from Beauty of Josen versus o...
Revive Serum: Plump & Refresh with Ginseng + Snail Mucin
Moisturizers
Morning and evening moisturizers to help protect my skin barrier.
Moisturizing cica barrier gel for dry climate and/or sensitive skin! I’ve been using this for months to boost my dry high-desert-living skin! It helps keep sebaceous filaments at bay and creates an extra barrier for dry patches. I prefer the gel to t...
Cicaplast Gel B5 Skin Protectant Repair Gel - La Roche-Posay | Ulta Beauty
This is a must for me when the seasons change and my skin gets a little out of control! This keeps my skin consistent through spring wind, temperature changes, and random rainy days. All while giving my skin a healthy glow that lasts all day without ...
mixsoon Bean Cream Deep Moisturizer 65ml
I’ll always be obsessed with this moisturizer. I use this when I don’t want or need the glow from the mixsoon moisturizer. It’s hydrating, but more matte!
Versed Daily Recovery Rich Barrier Cream 1.5oz
Treatments
When my skin needs a boost of moisture or exfoliation, these are my go-tos!
This acid is like waking up with the results of a chemical peel without any of the down time! I use three drops of this a few nights a week right after washing my face at night. I let it dry down for 1 minute before applying my serums and moisturizer...
Serum 15 - Serum 30 | Glycolic | Mandelic | Phytic | C
I’m new to these, but after reading the reviews, I had to try them! So far they seem to plump my skin nicely and i love that when I peel them off, my fine lines are less noticeable.
BIODANCE Bio-Collagen Deep Hydrating Mask
I derma stamp once every few weeks (1.5mm once every 4-6 weeks with 0.5-1mm once/week). I wipe my skin with an alcohol wipe before and do 2 layers of stamping over my face.
When I do 0.5-1mm, I add the pdrn serum in this section.
I don’t use any ...
Koi Beauty Derma Stamp Titanium Microneedle
The only pdrn serum I’ve tried, but it works well for me (plumping and healing). The price point from Costco online is hard to beat! I’m still on my first bottle and it’s been months since I ordered (I only use this on days I derma stamp).
D'LEXO PDRN Solution Salmon Ampoule, 1.18 fl oz
Clean slate face washes
Removing makeup is not optional. I love a gentle morning cleanse and a cleaner woth oomph in the evening!
Gentle am face wash! I tried using just water in the morning, but I ended up with congestion. This face wash was the perfect solution to clear my pores without stripping moisture.
Versed Gentle Hydrating Facial Cleanser 6oz
Pm face wash. This removed makeup like a champ. I work in a kitchen, so I wear water resistant foundation and eye liner, but after a quick wash, there’s no trace of makeup and I’m left with a clean skin base to apply my nighttime serums! Not drying, ...
Differin Facial Cleanser, Oil Free, 6 Oz
