Starlight Skin Bright |P.M. Routine
November 17 // à la Zoe Williams
With winter coming right around the corner my skin tends to need a little extra love. I wanted to share my current P.M. skincare regimen that has helped ensure that I avoid waking up with my face looking dull and well, just blah. Let’s get glowing!
Step 1: Eve Lom Cleanser
This is one of the best cleansers I have used hands down. I especially love it in colder months because this balm based cleanser uses a blend of 4 signature oils to not only cleanse, but also exfoliate and condition your skin. It also does not strip or dry your skin out at all. Unlike many traditional cleansers you use this on dry and dirty skin. This cleanser is worth the price tag and will last you awhile.
Step 2: Garnier Rose Micellar Water
No matter what cleanser I use I feel like I always still have traces of makeup left. Especially stubborn mascara! I love using this micellar water after I cleanse to clean-up any areas that still have any residue. It’s very gentle and great for sensitive skin! I like to sweep this across my face using a cotton pad.
Step 3: Cosrx Snail Mucin
Okay so I know the name of this product does not sound appealing in any way shape or form, but it has been a game changer for me. I originally heard Emily Ratajkowski speak about using this product and knew I had to give it a try. This product is a lightweight essence that helps maintain skin’s moisture, which is particularly important during winter’s drying months. I apply this directly after cleansing both in the A.M. and P.M.
I love love love an oil and this has been my favorite that I have tried. This is the key to radiant skin and the product to add into your routine if you feel you need an additional boost to add in before your moisturizer. This oil is extremely lightweight in texture and doesn’t leave your skin feeling goopy.
Okay, so I know La Mer has a lot of hype and it’s pricey, but it WORKS and is worth spending the money if your skin needs TLC. I generally use a less expensive moisturizer during the day like Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Moisturizer and save this for night so the product lasts longer. It comes in multiple textures but the soft cream is my favorite.
Step 6 (2-3x a week): Saturday Skin Yuzu Vitamin C Sleep Mask
This mask includes retinol and that is why I only use it 2-3x a week as my final P.M. skincare step. I have noticed a difference in my skin brightness since using this product. I have also found it helps keep breakouts at bay. Plus it’s unique jelly-texture makes it so fun to use.
Step 7: Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask
We can’t forget about lips! It’s especially important to take care of your lips this time of year, because let’s face it chapped lips just aren’t cute or comfortable. One note about this product is that I love that it does not have any mint in it or menthol which tends to cause breakouts for me!
