My Latest Skincare Routine
More than ever, I have been obsessed with perfecting my skincare routine!
I have combination skin but like most, I battle with excessive oil in my T-Zone and dryness in other areas. Evening out my skin tone is my current priority especially since I struggle with redness, almost like rosacea, on my cheeks. Since high school I was only using a Clean and Clear cleanser and exfoliant with occasional Shea Moisture face masks. I have extremely sensitive skin so once I figured out those products 'worked', I just stuck with them. This was mostly due to the fact that I had no idea what I should use or what my skin needed.
It wasn't until earlier this year I was gifted with a facial from Aveda and I became knowledgeable about my skin and what products I needed. Before the facial, I had dry, lifeless skin. Below are the products I was introduced to and have been using for the last 2 months.
I apply the creme cleanser, toning mist, energizing eye creme (great for plumping under the eyes and minimizing dark circles) and intense hydrating moisturizer twice a day. I use the exfoliating cleanser and hydrating mask once a week. I am LOVING the intense hydrating mask! Leaves my skin refreshed, hydrated, and gives me a great glow!
What I love the most about Aveda products are they are natural and plant based products which does not irritate my sensitive skin (very important to me). These products are a great balance for my combination skin because it minimizes the excess oil in my T-Zone but provides the moisture I need at the same time. I am obsessing over bringing life and intense hydration back into my dull skin and these products have helped me do so.
So far I am happy with my current skincare routine but I'm still going to be on the look out for other products to continue to improve my skin!
