The Buzz on Skincare

 There are as many skincare routines out there as there are skin types. The truth is that while everyone would love to have perfect skin, no one does and every skincare routine is unique because everyone has their own unique skin. My skin has the tendency to be on the dry side so moisturizing is important for me. I wash my face with a normal Dove soap bar twice a day (when I wake up and before bed) and moisturize twice a day as well. My go-to moisturizer is Neutrogena's Oil Free Moisturizer. I apply this all over my face, using it sparingly around my eyes because moisturizers can be too harsh to apply around the delicate areas of your eyes. If I am going out in the sun, I make sure to put on sunscreen underneath my makeup to prevent wrinkles and burning. The Neutrogena Age Face Shield with spf 55 is unscented and does not feel too slick against my skin. Eye creams are not for everyone, but I do apply Benefit's Eye Con every night before bed. At 24 years old, an eye cream is a good idea to use as a preventative measure against crows feet and can also deflate any puffiness. Don't forget to take your makeup off before bed every day. Your skin needs to breathe and clogged pores can cause blemishes and blackheads. I like to use Almay's moisturizing pads to take my eye makeup off (since I use waterproof mascara, these pads take off the makeup without me having to rub so hard). Below is my NAKED face without a lick of makeup on it (be kind, honey bees)! What are your favorite skincare products? Leave your thoughts in the comments.

  3. Not fair you look so good without makeup on!
    I love Dermalogica skin smoothing cream. I find washing my face with dove soap makes my face dry, you're so lucky that you can use it, as I use it on the rest of my body lol.

  4. you have amazing skin! its so flawless. >:( haha. i think having really nice skin is also because of genetics. my mom had bad acne when she was a kid and passed it on to me. and ill probably do the same for my lovely daughter haha.
