Step 1: Cleanse I start by cleansing my face with the PanOxyl Acne Foaming Wash. My dermatologist recommended this to me years ago, and even though my skin isn’t as acne-prone anymore, I still love it. The bottle’s almost finished, but it’s been a staple for keeping my skin clear and balanced.
Step 2: Tone Next, I use the PanOxyl Clarifying Exfoliant, which has 2% salicylic acid. This helps prevent any potential breakouts and keeps my skin feeling fresh.
Step 3: Hydrate with Hyaluronic Acid Then I apply the OSEA Hyaluronic Sea Serum. Since this serum is a bit thick, I like to use a cotton round to evenly distribute it across my face, making sure every area gets a boost of hydration.
Step 4: Vitamin C Serum For brightening and protection, I use the Drunk Elephant C-Firma Day Serum. This serum helps reduce hyperpigmentation and gives me a protective layer against pollution, which I especially appreciated when I lived in New York City. It’s like a shield for your skin against daily stressors!
Step 5: Acne Treatment Next is my Curology acne cream, which is custom-made based on my skin’s needs. My formula has tretinoin, clindamycin phosphate, and azelaic acid—perfect for keeping my skin clear and smooth. If you haven’t heard of Curology, it’s a personalized service where a dermatologist creates a formula specifically for you.
Step 6: Face Oil Afterward, I apply my trusted Drunk Elephant Marula Oil. It’s lightweight but super nourishing, giving my skin a healthy glow without feeling greasy.
Step 7: SPF And now, the most important step: SPF! I use the CeraVe AM Facial Moisturizing Lotion with SPF 30, which is the only sunscreen I rely on. If there’s one thing to take away from this routine, it’s this: Wear SPF every single day! Trust me—your skin will thank you later.
Step 8: Lip Care Lastly, I finish with the Summer Fridays Lip Butter in Vanilla. It keeps my lips hydrated and juicy throughout the day.
