Taking care of my skin has boosted my confidence more than anything ever has. Right now my nighttime routine is wash my face with Bobbi Brown soothing cleansing oil, curolgy, retinal, hyaluronic acid, vitamin C, the ole henrikson undereye cream, and triple antibiotic ointment. My morning routine is washing my face with Sonya Dakar gentle facial milk cleanser, spray my face with Osea sea mineral mist, Osea hyaluronic sea serum, Sonya Dakar nano hydrator moisturizer and Sonya Dakar SPF 30. If I go outside a lot I use 50 spf. I had cystic acne when I was younger and Curology really changed my skin. It completely cleared it up. Iām so grateful for it. When I was younger I tried absolutely everything. Salt water, mouth wash, that nuetrogena face wash with the micro plastics in it. Nothing really worked until Curology. I also take Tri-Sprintec birth control because it is the most effective at clearing your skin. If I have a break out I take Doxycycline which is an antibiotic that stops acne from forming. Itās been a lot of work and not easy but Iām so happy I did it. I love face masks too. My favorite is Blue Tansy from Herbivore. Itās a nice exfoliator that really changes your skin. I notice a big difference with it. I also love sheet masks. Innis Free has my favorites. They just feel so effective to me. A nice evening to me is staying in and taking care of my skin. I love to steam my face, do an exfoliating face mask, then a pore cleaning one and then a moisturizing one. Then I do an eye mask and all of my skincare steps. It feels so good and I look amazing when I wake up.

I am certifiably lazy with skin care, I will only stick with a routine if itās 3 steps tops. Here it is:
First Aid Beauty Facial Radiance Pads. I believe jennie recommended a while back and Iāve used them ever since!
Costco Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence. Itās true, itās great. Iāve used it for years and it doesnāt clog my pores which most moisturizers do.
CeraVe moisturizing tinted sunscreen. I donāt wear make up so this gives me just a bit of color while also doubling as my sunscreen.
For face wash, I keep CeraVe in my shower and use that. For nightly, I use Zinc Therapy cleanser because ya girl has psoriasis that flares up with hormonal changes and the cold. If Iām not struggling with that Iāll just use the CeraVe.
Eventually I will add a retinoid when I am done breastfeeding.

For a simple routine you only need a face wash and a moisturiserā if your skin is more oily than dry, try Glossierās cleanser concentrate, and if drier, try Glossierās milky jelly cleanser or Cera Veās hydrating facial cleanser. If you have acne prone skin, a face wash with salicylic acid will help.
Then use a good moisturiser; Cera Veās Daily Moisturising lotion is my workhorse, and I use Beekman 1802 Bloom Cream at night or when dry.
Use a good sunscreen; I use Supergoop Every Single Face watery lotion, but anything that you like the texture of and will use consistently is best.
Do those three things for a month or two, and it will feel much easier to fold other things into your routine where you notice you need themā that may be a serum, a chemical exfoliant, or an active.
If you get breakouts and want an effective spot treatment, La Roche Posayās effaclar duo is the best thing Iāve usedā itās more effective than patches or stickers, and minimally drying.
Do you have particular skin concerns (dryness, dark spots, breakouts, redness, etc.)?

Gumby was my favorite show as a teenager. Yes a teenager. I found the entire series on YouTube and watched all of it. Itās so well done and the plots are insane. In my favorite episode Gumby and Pokie, his other clay friend that is also a horse, decide to bake a pie. Before they can even start one of the pies starts talking to him and says ācome on inā so they go into the oven. They discover a pie making factory inside the oven. They learn how pies are made and then the pies turn on them. Itās a wild story and my favorite quote is āthe dough needs the dough?ā āNo it KNEADS it.ā All the episodes are strange like that. And he has more clay friends that do crazy stuff ā Iām telling you this show is like nothing else.
