Skincare Favorites: My Exact Routine

items Sharing everything from my current skincare routine (including professional treatments) that address my key skin concerns: sun protection and pigmentation (I live in FL), dryness (all that indoor AC), and aging (I'm in my early 40s).

Cleanse
My forever-favorite cleanser, plus upgrades to your cleansing routine.
My all-time favorite cleanser, this gentle formula from Fresh even removes eye makeup without irritation. I stock up on the big pump bottles - my husband and son use this cleanser too.
Fresh Soy Hydrating Gentle Face Cleanser
I resisted these single use towels for the longest time, but I totally get the hype now. No more makeup residue or bacteria on your towels…plus they're great for wiping off makeup when you don't have the energy for a full wash after a crazy day. Just...
Clean Skin Club Clean Towels
A great upgrade to your cleansing routine, especially if you used to use and love the Clarisonic. This one is all soft silicone, so won't scratch or irritate your skin.
Foreo LUNA™ Mini 3
Treat
Serums and exfoliants that really deliver.
This legendary vitamin C is my first step in the morning, after cleansing. Like so many good Vit C serums, it smells like hot dog water…but the brightening results are worth it.
C E Ferulic® with 15% L-Ascorbic Acid
This is a lightweight, quick-drying serum that checks so many boxes – vitamin C, gentle retinol, acids, and vitamin E. I use this morning and night.
U Beauty Resurfacing Compound
I use this liquid salicylic acid a couple times a week, in the evenings, after cleansing.
Paula's Choice 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant
This is U's newest product, and the latest addition to my lineup. Currently, I'm using this in the evenings, layered on top of the Resurfacing Compound.
The SMOOTH Dynamic Wrinkle Defense Serum
Moisturize + Protect
Favorite moisturizers and sunscreens, in both mineral and non-mineral formulas.
Is it a massive splurge? Yes, but I love it. Constant indoor AC dries my skin out, especially overnight, and this rich moisturizer keeps my skin feeling plump and hydrated.
Augustinus Bader The Rich Cream
Another favorite moisturizer with a similar feel to the Augustinus Bader. I love everything U makes, seriously.
U Beauty The SUPER Hydrator
It's a lip balm, it's an eye cream, it's a cuticle salve…Aquaphor does it all and I'm never without it.
Aquaphor Healing Ointment
My favorite zinc-based sunblock – goes on smoothly with a sheer tint to cancel out the white cast.
Kosas DreamBeam Mineral Sunscreen SPF 40
My favorite non-mineral option, this one is beloved for a reason. Goes on like a primer and is completely weightless and clear.
Supergoop! Unseen Sunscreen - SPF 50
Specialty
The little extras (plus professional treatments) that round out my routine.
I pop one of these hydrocolloid patches on at the first sign of a blemish. The best!
Mighty Patch Original Patch
I picked up this specialty product after a laser treatment, and it's great to keep on hand to soothe minor irritation, redness, or sunburn.
Epidermal Repair | Beta Glucan
Two drops mixed into my serum, twice a week, for just a touch of glow. I'm naturally super pale so this helps me fit in with my fellow Floridians, sans the sun damage.
Self-Tan Face Drops - Isle of Paradise
My favorite Glow Recipe product, this overnight mask feels bouncy and fresh, and reveals smoother skin by morning. Use two nights in a row for best results.
Watermelon Glow AHA Night Treatment - Glow Recipe
I wear these before getting ready for an event, sometimes overnight, and ALWAYS on planes…anytime my undereye area has the potential to get dry.
Water Drench Hyaluronic Cloud Hydra-Gel Eye Patches - Peter Thomas Roth
I'm linking my local medspa (in Melbourne, FL) because this list wouldn't be complete without the professional treatments that I love. I see Iris for Daxxify and Jasmine for an annual Picosure laser session. At some point, even the best skincare can ...
