AM & PM Skincare

My skincare routine is ever changing. It changes with the weather, the season, whats going on internally, etc. Right now I am in a good place with my skin so I figured I would share with you guys! what I’m using in the am and pm. I have both high and low end price points for my skincare, but I truly believe that when it comes to skincare, you get what you pay for. Let’s get started!

All products I use am & pm

All products I use am & pm

I couldn’t even link all the products I use because Like to Know it only allows 16 products to be linked to one pic but I use some in the am and some in the pm. I also switch off products some days and use some only a couple days a week.

First things first, cleanser. I just switched to SkinCeuticals LHA Gel Cleanser. It’s great for oily skin, like mine, but doesn’t strip it, leaving it feeling tight. I use this am and pm. Next I use the SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic . This is vitamin C and probably the most important thing for your skin. AM only. Then I use my moisturizer.. either Charlotte Tilbury Magic Cream moisturizer or Laura Mercier Perfect Cream moisturizer and finish with Peter Thomas Roth SPF 45 . For my eyes I either use Dr. Brant Needles No More or Tula Rose Glow and Get it eye balm or both!

At the end of the day, I use Elemis Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm or the Pro-Collagen Rose Cleansing Balm to remove any makeup I have on. I have both.

After removing makeup, I use the same LHA Cleanser to wash my face and then I use SkinCeuticals Resveratrol B E . This is your night-time vitamin c. Use it first to help whatever products you use next, go deeper into the skin. After this, I use a little Blemish + Age Defense if I have any problem areas. Three nights a week I use SkinCeuticals Retinol 1.0 .

It helps with aging skin and preventing aging. Then, if needed, I will use a moisturizer.


Self-tanning adds another layer. Anyone who self-tans, knows they should exfoliate first. Get the dead skin off so your tan lasts longer. Same is true for your face. For my body I use Loving Tan self-tan. In my opinion, it’s the best, most realistic looking tan. I apply with their mitt. For my face, I like something different.

For my face, before I tan, I exfoliate with Elemis Dynamic Resurfacing Facial Pads . Gets all the dead skin off and leaves a clean surface. For tanning, I like Self Tan Purity Bronzing Water Face Mist . It is light, smells great, and has a lighter “tan” look. For anyone who just wants a little sun kissed glow, spray your face, neck and hands. It amazing.


That’s my routine. I will keep you all up to date with new products I introduce and/or drop from my routine. For now, if you have any questions or comments, leave them in the box below! Cheers to great skin!
