Step 1: Wash 🧼
Here’s a few of my face wash staples! I tend stick to gentle cleansers that won’t dry out my face. I double wash in the shower yo remove all my sunscreen & makeup.

Step 2: Serum 💧
After washing, I apply a serum to lock in moisture. I have found that this step really makes a difference in improving my skin barrier.
This is the one I use in the mornings to keep me hydrated and glowing!
Face Serums - Concentrated Skin Treatments
This one I use in the evening for its anti-aging properties. It also sometimes creates an orangish tint when exposed to light. I typically don’t like to apply anything other than moisturizer on top of this.
Face Serums - Concentrated Skin Treatments
A quick spritz of this and you can tell a difference! This is something I have done in place of serums from time to time.
This is another serum I have found that plumps up my skin!

Step 3: Moisturizer 🧴

This is my favorite mineral sunscreen moisturizer. It keeps my skin moisturized without creating a white cast.
UV Clear SPF 46 Sunscreen for Acne-Prone Skin
I also use the tinted moisturizer as it gives me hydration with very light coverage.

I use this moisturizer at night to strengthen my skin barrier overnight.

Sometimes you just need something in between no make up & full face. This is it!
If I’m wanting a bit more coverage than the tinted moisturizer but not a full face of makeup this is my go to. It give medium coverage with a nice glow. I have used it right after a serum or after a moisturizer. It also has SPF for my fellow fair ski...
PHYTO-PIGMENTS CC Cream Zinc SPF 30
Another option for slightly more coverage that in between no make-up and full faced look.
bareMinerals
This is another great contender for light coverage!
