There’s something about turning 30, suddenly it’s all things skincare. Other than sunscreen I’ve pretty much ignored my skin needs until now. I’m pretty low maintenance so the idea of a regiment / routine was pretty overwhelming. I really had no clue where to start, and honestly I’m still learning. However, I have noticed a significant difference in my very dry skin since I started using a few clean skincare products, so I wanted to show you what I’m using!

Cleanser
I HATE washing my face. Seriously, hate it. The way it would dry out my skin, not to mention the scrubbing and the water everywhere…ugh. I was more likely to just skip cleansing until I started using this makeup removing CLEANSING OIL. It goes on just like you could expect an oil to apply (it smells AMAZING), I add water to form this luxurious light milkly consistency (like a spa treatment) and then rinse clean. My skin feels hydrated and so happy after each cleanse. I am not kidding when I say I now look forward to washing my face (!!) yep, seriously! I use this both morning and night. Bonus, the bottle is STUNNING! #hearteyes
Serum
Youthful skin in a bottle, that’s how I feel about this VITAMIN C SERUM. It helps brighten my skin and reduce the appearance of dark spots. I don’t have many dark spots yet, but this helps proactively fight new ones too! I apply this right after I cleanse in the morning and I can feel my skin saying “Thank You” every time I use it.
Brightening Oil
I use this BRIGHTENING FACE OIL when I need a little extra boots of “beaming”, haha! Typically I combine it with my moisturizer in the morning. The smell alone (citrus scented) is enough to brighten my morning but I love how it nourishes my skin and makes it feel so soft & supple (I hate that word but it feels accurate here lol).
Moisturizer(s)
I’m obsessed with both of these moisturizers. Neither make my skin feel weighed down, which is usually my issue with moisturizers. These are both lightweight and easy to apply. The sleep cream is my favorite and I often apply it in the morning too if I need a little extra hydration.
Morning: Countermatch Adaptive Moisture Lotion
Evening: Countermatch Recovery Sleeping Cream
Evening Treatments
It’s #treatyoself time! Besides the oil cleanser, these might be my next two favorite products. The first is the OVERNIGHT RESURFACING PEEL. I use this every-other-night typically after I cleanse. Use 1-2 pumps and it works while you sleep to schlep off dull skin cells and stimulate cell renewal! I love the way my skin feels when I wake up.
The second product I love using in the evenings is this CHARCOAL FACE MASK. I use this 1-2 times a week, usually while I bathe or sip a cup of tea on the couch after the kids go to bed.
That’s it, friends! Simple, easy, clean.
