Hi Babes! I’m so excited to finally be sharing my current skincare routine with you! I meant to post this last week but our schedule has been so crazy with the girls being out of school for summer break! This is something I’ve been getting questions about for SO long and there is a reason I haven’t shared it before now. To be honest, I didn’t have a “routine” per say. It’s only been in the last year that I’ve started using a certain combination of products that I have grown to LOVE and use every single day. I didn’t want to share a skincare routine with you guys until I had a system down that I love and feel truly helps my skin. I’m so happy to say that I’ve found that routine. A lot of these products are from one of my favorite skincare lines Tula. I’ve been using their products for years and I am obsessed with them. They have truly transformed my skin. You can use my code “HollieW” for 20% off your order on Tula.com!
Step 1: First I cleanse my face with the Tula Purifying Skin Cleanser with my Clarisonic facial brush. I LOVE this cleanser, it gets ALL of my makeup off and it’s so gentle. I’ve used cleansers in the past where I feel like I still have makeup on my face afterwards but this cleanser gets everything off! The Clarisonic facial brush is a GAME CHANGER you guys. I used to have breakouts once every few weeks until I started using this brush. I guess it’s the brush that’s made all the difference because I haven’t had a breakout since I started using it. It gets everything off including makeup and dead skin cells. My face feels so smooth after using it!
Step 2: Toning. I used to skip this step but I recently added the Tula pro-Glycolic Resurfacing Gel into my routine and I have been loving it. I smooth it all over my face before I apply my serums! It balances the PH level of your skin and preps pores to be moisturized.
Step 3. Apply Serum! This is one of my favorite parts of my routine! This serum has hyaluronic acid in it which helps with hydration and anti-aging. I’ve really started to focus on hydration with my skin bc hydration= less wrinkles. It is pricey but I’m a firm believer that you shouldn’t skimp on skincare, after all, you only have one face to work with! I also love that it’s oil and fragrance free.
Step 4: Moisturize! This is probably the most important step, aside from washing my face every night. It’s all about hydration! I’ve been using the Tula Hydrating Day and Night cream for almost 2 years and I swear by it! It keeps my face hydrated all night. I apply it after my serum at night after I wash my face. Tula also recently launched their oil-free aqua infusion gel cream in the morning after I wash my face and it also doubles as a makeup primer! My makeup goes on flawlessly with this stuff!
Step 5: Undereye care! This is so so important. The skin around our eyes ages quickly because it’s so thin so making sure you’re using a good undereye cream or serum is key! I LOVE to use this Tula Multispectrum Eye Renewal Serum every night. It also has a built-in cooling metal applicator that soothes your skin and reduced undereye puffiness! I’ve noticed such a difference in my undereye bags (especially in photos) since I started adding this step! I also swear by these Peter Thomas Roth soothing gel undereye patches. I love to pop these on in the morning before doing my makeup and it’s like an instant mini eye-lift! I’ve noticed they also help reduce undereye bags and puffiness! They are a bit of a splurge but so worth it in my opinion!
There are a few more products I love to use not necessarily everyday but definitely a few times a week! This Glamglow Supermud clearing mask is amazing for clearing out pores and brightening my skin! I also love the Tula Exfoliating Treatment mask! It hydrates my skin and also clears out pores! My skin has improved SO much since I’ve upped my skincare routine but I also still get the occasional break-out or pimple and I swear by this drying lotion treatment. It literally works better than anything else I’ve tried for clearing up the occasional zit. You just use a q-tip and pop some on to a pimple at night and it’s gone in the morning! It’s like magic!
The last 2 products I’m loving right now are my Nu-Face and my PMD microderm tool (I forgot to get a picture of this!) I use both tools a few times a week and they really are a dream team! The NuFace facial toning device tightens your skin and gives you an instant face-lift, I’m not kidding! They call it a workout for your face. The first time I saw my friend Beth do a demonstration using hers on her IG story I was amazed! I tried it out and I was amazed at how lifted and tight my face felt after 3 minutes of using the NuFace. The PMD has been great for improving some light acne scarring I have on my cheeks as well as fading some of my hyperpigmentation. I use it about once or twice a week (with the gentle exfoliating head) and my face feels SO smooth afterwards.
So that’s it! Don’t forget you can use my code Hollie20 on any of these Tula products and get 20% off on their website! I swear by all of these products and have used them for years! I’ve linked everything from my skincare post below. Feel free to leave me a comment if you have any questions! I love to hear from you guys! XO
