My favorite skin care regimen. It completely changed my skin!
Morning:
Obagi Foaming Gel Cleanser: This is a big change for me because I’ve always been a soap a water girl, for the most part. Gasp! I know. Not the best choice, but as motherhood began taking over my life more and more, so did the soap and water. I bet I’m not alone.
SkinCeuticals Phloretin CF: This is a vitamin C serum which helps your skin build collagen and, being an antioxidant, it naturally helps strengthen your skin and protects it from damaging free radicals. This is my favorite product, and I feel helps my skin the most!
LA Roche-Posay Anthelios SX: This is my daily moisturizer and I love it! It’s not too thick, or too thin, and it doesn’t leave my skin feeling greasy. My makeup goes on easily and looks flawless over it. And it includes an spf of 15 which is super important in the battle of keeping your skin looking youthful.
Bedtime:
Obagi Foaming Gel Cleanser: See above.
SkinCeuticals Retexturing Activator: This product is a gentle daily exfoliator which also includes hydrolaunic acid for simultaneous hydration. This serum leaves my skin super smooth!
SkinCeuticals Phyto +: Now this is a product that I need because I have some hyperpigmentation going on right here on this face. After my sun worshiping filled twenty-somethings decade, hyperpigmentation adores me. Ugh! If you don’t have hyperpigmentation, you can skip this step. But, if you do, you will love it! I’ve always been freckly, but over the past few years, and after three kids, hyperpigmentation on my skin is out and proud. This product is wonderful! It improves the tone and the balance of my skin. It’s also not a harsh chemical like hydroquinone or Retin A which is only supposed to be used temporarily, and you should give you skin a break from products with those ingredients. If you use a product with those ingredients, Phyto + is a good one to use for the break or during the spring and summer months.
iS Clinical: This is my nighttime moisturizer. It doesn’t include an spf which isn’t necessary while you sleep. It also doesn’t have a perfume smell which is great, especially for the sleeping hours.
And for an extra little moisturizing and feel good skin product, check out La Roche-Posay Thermal Spring Water. Throw this in the mix day and night, or whenever you need an extra moisturizing boost. Carry it in your purse to spray it over makeup for a nice refreshing glow.
So, there you have it….that’s my current regimen. And I’m sticking with this one! My skin is looking better than it has in years!
