Morning Skincare Ritual +1

Currently obsessed about skincare more than makeup these days. I’m looking into getting the healthy glow I used to have a couple of years ago. I know I was a couple of years younger but that doesn’t mean my skin deteriorated that much, right? I hope not.

At present, my morning skincare ritual includes cleansing, toning, and moisturising +1.

Cleansing and Toning

Since I’m in the middle of reviewing this product, I’ve incorporated it in my daily beauty regimen: Anti Blemish Solutions Cleansing Foam from Clinique. I would then proceed with toning my skin with the Alcohol-Free Toner from Neutrogena.

Moisturising

Since I grabbed a hold of the OLAY Regenerist Regenerating Serum, not a day would go by without it. I would apply it under either the RevaleSkin Day Cream if I’m staying in or the Elizabeth Arden Intervene Pause & Effect Moisture Cream if I’ll be putting makeup on.

I’m referring to my weekly exfoliation ritual. I turn to Neutrogena Deep Clean Gentle Scrub for this special need. Though I am also perusing OLAY Regenerist Cleansing Cream (review to follow) which contains microbeads that can aid in the exfoliation process, I still prefer the former and simply use the latter sporadically in-shower.

So far, this ritual has been pretty effective in terms of balancing moisture and keeping my skin blemish free. All I need now is to keep my skin hydrated and re-gain the healthy glow.

What about you, my dear beauties? What’s your morning skincare ritual? Any other tips or product recommendations?
