Do you have a skin care routine?

Every woman is looking for skin care that works.

I remember learning the importance of taking care of my skin at an early age… way back in my late teens, early 20’s.  Ever since then I’ve been a believer in good skin care and it’s long lasting benefits as we age.

I feel like protecting my face from the sun and using skin care that works has helped my skin be age as best it can!  Over the past 30 years, and trying other random things, I feel like I’ve got a pretty good handle on what gives good results.

If you are looking for products to use on your skin that actually make a difference, then I highly recommend you try out the skin care routine that I’ve used for decades!

Here’s the thing.  I can’t use just any old products…

During my teenage years, I could not wear eye shadow without my eye lids turning red and raw.

I had to stay away from certain cleansers that irritated my skin so badly that I was left red and burning.

I have super sensitive skin and was always nervous to try out something new for fear it would eat away my face!

So at my grandma’s one night when my sister suggested we use her new mask, needless to say, I was a little hesitant.  After being reassured that it was good for all skin types, especially sensitive skin,  I agreed, and that was it.  I was in LOVE!!

I could see and feel a difference almost instantly!

Couldn’t believe that I had been introduced to skin care that really works.

And to this day I am still using it!

Now, that doesn’t mean that I haven’t tried other things here and there over the years, I have.

Some of which I have really liked!

But I always seem to come back to my tried and true favorite, and fully believe that it’s responsible for the skin that I have today.

 

MY SKIN CARE ROUTINE IN TWO EASY STEPS:

***And before we get to those steps, I want to remind you that the NUMBER ONE cause of aging skin is the SUN.  So I always try to keep my face covered up or at least use an SPF when I’ll be outside.  Also, if you are interested you can see my favorite sunless tanner HERE.

STEP ONE:

It’s important to use a complete set that is formulated to work synergistically together.  Products that are specifically formulated to work together.  That way, all the bases for beautiful skin are covered!

I use Arbonne’s RE9 Advanced Skin Care Set.

And yes, every one of those products in the set is a MUST!  That’s just the hard, cold truth.  Or you won’t see the maximum benefits.

 

STEP TWO:

This is important and it is seriously the game changer.  You MUST exfoliate!!!

If I ever start feeling like my face looks dull and drab…. it’s usually because I have gone a week or so without exfoliating!  As soon as you start to exfoliate your face will change in dramatic ways!!

It’s SO important to encourage cell turnover especially as we age, to keep our skin looking youthful.

 

My favorite way to exfoliate is by using the Genius Nightly Resurfacing Pads.

They are like a resurfacing lazer peel that you can do at home!

I love what this does for the clarity and texture of my skin.  Be sure to use sunscreen the following day as you will have new youthful skin that you’ll want to protect.

 

Another great way to exfoliate is with the RE9 Advanced Cellular Renewal Masque.

Love love love this mask.  If I don’t have the resurfacing pads, I will have this.  One or the other, and most of the time both!

 

Last but not least on the list of good exfoliators are these Tinkle razors.

That’s right, I shave my face.  Like a man!!!

And no, it doesn’t make my hair grow back thicker and stronger.

Promise.

Still soft peach fuzz.

I’ve been shaving for over a year now, 2-3 times a week.

It really gives your face such a smooth appearance.

**WORD OF CAUTION though…. watch those eyebrows and stay FAR AWAY from them!!! 🙂   I’ve never had a horrible mishap but I’ve come close!  So be careful!!

There are other random products that I really like but these are my favorites.  The basics.  The must haves.

THAT’S IT!

My skin care routine in a nutshell:  Use a good skin care line and EXFOLIATE EXFOLIATE EXFOLIATE!!

I do almost every single night.

Feel free to drop questions and I’ll try to answer them the best I can!

***SIDE NOTE:  I have recently started using the Pause Fascia Stimulating Tool and Collagen Boosting Moisturizer, both of which I really like.  After doing lots of research on the benefits of this tool, I will be using it forever!!!  If you follow me on Instagram, you can view how I use it on my Pause Fascia Tool highlight.
