Wash, Tone, Moisturize


The last couple of weeks I've received some comments and emails about my skin care routine, so I wanted to do a post about the products I use. Some of these items I've done reviews for in the past and have been using for year. Right now I'm using a make-up remover I don't care for, so it's not included, but got some great suggestions I'll be testing out in the future.

Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash Pink Grapefruit Foaming Scrub
This wash is effective enough to fend off acne, but gentle enough to use everyday without drying me out, plus it smells delicious.

L'Oreal Go 360 Clean for Sensitive Skin 
I've been using this cleanser since it came out and I love it. I use it combined with my Oil of Olay Pro-X Cleaner. 

Oil of Olay Pro-X Advanced Cleansing System
I use this cleanser almost everyday, but will skip a day or two depending on my mood. It's a great exfoliater and really helps my skin to glow.

Neutrogena Alcohol-Free Toner
This toner is awesome and because it's alcohol-free it doesn't dry out your skin. I use this every morning before moisturizing.

Oil of Olay Complete All Day Moisturizer for Sensitive Skin
This is my holy grail product, I've used it since high school. I really love all of the Olay brand products and will probably start to use more as I age. Which, you know is happening right now so I should probably hop on it.

Mary Kay TimeWise Firming Eye Cream
This little betty is a gem, I only use it at night because it's a little bit thick and I don't like to layer make-up on top of it.  

My skin is pretty normal, but it's easily dried out so I mostly use sensitive skin products to stay on an even keel. Like, I said above, I've used most of these products for years and don't really care to stray. If I feel like my skin needs something more or what I'm using isn't working anymore, I'll always start to see what else is out there that I can try. 

What does your skin care routine look like? What are your holy grail products?

I swear... SWEAR by Witch Hazel toner. (I use Dickinson's pore perfecting brand, but I'm sure the others work just as well.) I have skin that is oily and prone to blackheads. This keeps my skin balanced, moisturized and I wake up with glowing skin. It doesn't have chemicals in it and it never dries me out. I'll never use anything else!

My holy grail's are Philosophy's Purity face wash and Dickinson's witch hazel (as toner). I may have to try out the MK eye cream, I like thier moisturizers.

I think I asked you this before, but I forget...how much was the oil of olay advanced cleaning system? I don't want to spend the money on a Clarisonic, but I need a better exfoliant.

Do you use two cleansers?
