Morning Routine

Because this routine uses a retinol, make sure to use a high SPF sunscreen every day. I have used this for years and love how light it is, perfect for wearing under makeup.

Evening Routine

Step 1: start your evening cleanse with an oil cleanser. I love that this cleanser is light, so good for oily skin, and is combination of natural oils.

Step 2: follow your oil cleanser with a normal cleanser to thoroughly clean your skin. I like this one for a gentle but effective cleanse that does not strip the skin.

Follow with Niacinamide and a Retinol to help resurface the skin. I like this as it combines both, and is gentle enough to use daily. If you have never used a retinol before then start by applying every other day!

After cleansing, completely dry your skin with a clean towel, and apply a pore cleansing mask. I like this one for being super gentle.

Fully (and gentle) remove the pore cleansing mask, and then soak a few cotton pads in cold green tea. Apply the cotton pads to the skin - the tanins in green tea helps to reduce the appearance of pores.
