Hey Lux Ladies!
Your bestie is about to share this amazing AM skin care routine with you, so buckle up. I have completely transformed my skin from large pores and adult acne to a smaller appearance of pores and few to no breakouts, and I can’t wait to share with you all how I got these amazing results! I am not a dermatologist or a skin care specialist, just your bestie who has gotten results with this routine. If you are having serious skin problems, please contact a professional for a skincare prescription that is tailored to your needs.
AM Skin Care Routine:
Your bestie loves to wear my makeup just like the next girlie, so my go to cleanser is the Fenty Beauty Pro Filt’r Cleanser it is the perfect cleanser to melt off all of the makeup (including my favorite waterproof mascara), as well as cleanse all of the impurities from my skin.
I follow up the cleanser with Dr. Dennis Gross Alpha Beta Extra Strength Daily Peel, okay Lux Ladies, this is the Holy Grail item in my skincare arsenal! I would suggest adding this daily peel to your skincare routine if you don’t add anything else. This item has cleared my adult acne, balanced out my skin texture, and helped with my dark spots. I get that this is a bold claim, but this was the first consistent change I made to my routine, and I started seeing those results within the first week or so. The Peel Pads are a must have!
Serum Time!
As you can see, I am a big Dr. Gross fan due to the success of the peel pads on my skin, and one thing that he suggests is to pair the acids in the pads with a Vitamin C. For this reason, I had to include my girl Sunday Riley and her CEO line, but first I start off by patting in The Ordinary Multi-Peptide + Hyaluronic Acid Serum. I like to start with this serum because it is more of a tacky serum, so it completely goes into your skin and dries down, giving it a multitude of vitamins your skin needs.
Directly on top of that I go in with Sunday Riley C.E.O. 15% Vitamin C Brightening Serum mixed with a few drops of the C.E.O. Glow Vitamin C and Turmeric Face Oil and pat it in. This mixture is more of an oily finish, so it melts right into the skin giving it a buttery soft finish and sheen. I use this lightweight serum to fight off the look of dullness and discoloration, and to diminishing the signs of aging.
Final Skin Care Steps
Okay Lux Ladies, the final steps to any skin care routine are to MOISTURIZE and PROTECT.
Once my serums are applied, I go directly in with moisture, for this step I use a generous helping of Sunday Riley C.E.O. Vitamin C Rich Hydration Moisturizing Cream. This cream works to deeply hydrate and visibly brighten dull skin, fight the signs of damage, and provide antioxidant support. After applying the cream, my skin is so soft I just could rub my face all day! But I must proceed, so I gather myself lol, and apply my SUNSCREEN ahhhh…
Listen Ladies, please don’t skip this step!
Once you apply all of the serums, especially with Vitamin C, sunscreen is a must because exposure to the sun can cause your dark spots to get darker (yikes). The sunscreen I have been using is Olay Complete+ Daily Facial Moisturizer with Sunscreen SPF 40. This moisturizer offers deep hydration to nourish your skin. It leaves a lightweight, matte finish while protecting from sun damage, thanks to broad spectrum SPF 40 SolarSheer technology. No greasy residue. No white cast, which is so important, we don’t want to be looking ashy.
Skincare is a Journey…
My skincare routine has been a journey of discovery and self-care. By understanding my skin’s unique needs and consistently using the right products, I’ve seen significant improvements in my skin’s health and appearance. Remember, what works for one person might not work for another, so it’s essential to listen to your skin and adjust your routine accordingly. I hope my experiences and tips inspire you to find a routine that makes you feel confident and radiant. Happy skincare journey Lux Ladies!
