Step 1: Wash Face

First things first: WASH YOUR FACE!!!! I will typically wash my face with lukewarm water, not too hot, not too cold. I will sometimes use a facewash at night, but it the morning I only use water!! (Sensitive skin over here)

Step 2: Toner

I use a toner right after I wash my face when it is still damp!! I like to use 1-2 pads each time I do my skincare routine! I cannot recommend these toner pads enough!

Step 4: Moisturize

La Roche-Posay is my go to every single day/night! I use the Avene cream whenever my skin is feeling irritated! It is great for eczema!

I like this moisturizer a lot! I have been using it for a while! It does leave me a little more shiny than I'd like, but my skin HATES the matte version of this moisturizer.
