Skincare

Hello readers! Where I live it has been incredibly hot lately. Like, 90 degrees. My mom has even had the air conditioning on the past few days, which she never does! I just checked the weather and it says 77 right now but it will be 91 later today. Guess we will have to keep the air on!

When it's really hot outside, it's crucial to protect your skin from the sun, which is why my skincare routine is a bit different than in the winter. So today, I thought I would discuss skincare!

In the morning, I usually use this neutrogena cleanser. It is just a basic cleanser that removes dirt/oil from your skin and makes it soft. By the way, whenever I wash my face, I always put water on it, rub in the cleanser, then rub it off with a wet washcloth (this does a bit of exfoiliating) and then put water on it again.

Sometimes I use this oil free acne wash from Neutrogena. I have never had a problem with acne, but it supposedly "stops breakouts before they start" so it's never a bad thing to use! I mostly just use it if I need some extra exfoliating or I skipped washing my face the previous night and it feels a bit greasy.

After I've used either of those to wash my face, I always use this neutrogena Healthy Defense moisturizer. It has an SPF 30, which is a bonus! I really like this moisturizer, but when I have to get a new one I would really like one with a tint because I like the coverage tinted moisturizer gives you. 

After I've put on moisturizer I usually but on a bit of this Elizabeth Arden flawless finish concealer under my eyes and wherever else I need it. Actually, that wasn't the right link to what I have, but I don't think they have it anymore....THIS is the exact one I have:

After that I sometimes put on mascara and other stuff, but that doesn't really count as skincare so maybe I will go into that in another post. 

If I'm going to go to the pool or be somewhere outside, I always use sunscreen! I have very fair skin and burn easily so I always use an SPF 50. I usually use this neutrogena sheer dry touch waterproof SPF 55 sunblock. 

At night, I switch off between the Neutrogena daily cleanser (which I probably use 3\4 of nights) and an exfoiliator. For exfoiliation, I always use this up and up apricot scrub. It is a great exfoiliator and smells really good!

I am always really happy with the skincare products I use. It is really important to wash your face twice a day! What skincare products or brands do you like to use?
