My Morning & Evening Skincare Routine
I’m always curious about your skincare routine, so I thought I’d share mine! These products work wonders for me, and I’m excited to see what works for you!
Morning Routine:
1. Vitamin C Serum
Apply to cleansed, dry skin in the morning. Vitamin C brightens the skin and provides antioxidant protection throughout the day. Wait 1-2 minutes for full absorption.
My Favorite: Jan Marini C-Esta Face Serum
Price: $129
2. Repair Serum
Apply after the Vitamin C serum to help with skin repair and hydration. It plumps the skin and reduces fine lines throughout the day. Allow a moment for absorption.
My Favorite: Dr. Dennis Gross DermInfusions Fill + Repair Serum
Price: $175
3. Hyaluronic Acid Serum
Apply on damp skin to draw moisture into the skin. Hyaluronic acid works best on damp skin to retain hydration. Wait a minute for it to settle in.
My Favorite: PCA Skin Hyaluronic Acid Boosting Serum
Price: $125
4. Moisturizer
Seal in hydration and protect your skin barrier for the day ahead.
My Favorite: La Mer Moisturizing Cream
Price: Starting at $100
Evening Routine:
Retinol
Apply on clean, dry skin. Retinol helps with cell turnover and anti-aging. If you're new to retinol, start 2-3 times a week and gradually increase usage. Wait a few minutes to absorb.
My Favorite: Jan Marini Age Intervention Retinol Plus
Price: $100
2. Repair Serum
Apply after retinol to boost skin repair and hydration. This serum complements the cell turnover effects of retinol. Wait for absorption.
My Favorite: Dr. Dennis Gross DermInfusions Fill + Repair Serum
Price: $175
3. Hyaluronic Acid Serum
Apply on dampened skin to lock in hydration after the retinol and serum steps.
My Favorite: PCA Skin Hyaluronic Acid Boosting Serum
Price: $125
4. Moisturizer
Finish with a rich moisturizer to lock in hydration and soothe your skin overnight.
My Favorite: La Mer Moisturizing Cream
Price: Starting at $100
Extra Tips:
Don’t combine Vitamin C and Retinol in the same routine! HERE’S WHY.
Always apply Hyaluronic Acid on damp skin to maximize its hydrating power.
Sunscreen: Make sure to apply sunscreen every morning (after moisturizer!), especially since Vitamin C and Retinol can make your skin more sensitive to the sun.
Patch test any new products to avoid irritation.
