It’s not really a regimen, per se, because I’m not really that consistent …but these are the products I generally use on my face. Surprisingly, you can find most of them at the drugstore.
* Neutrogena Fragrance Free Liquid Neutrogena, Facial Cleansing Formula – I love it for just your basic clean face but I also use it to remove makeup, including eye makeup. I never use actual “makeup remover” because I fear all the schmearing with tissues around the eye area just aids in speeding up lines and wrinkles. I could be wrong, but it’s my theory.
* Proactiv Solutions: Renewing Cleanser + Revitalizing Toner – I don’t use the entire line but I do love these two products immensely. I actually began using them a few years ago when I started taking so many photos of myself for this blog. There are spots you can avoid seeing in person but photos don’t lie and flaws just stand out over anything else and you know I am a perfectionist! I’ve never had acne, per se, but Proactiv really keeps the blemishes away. It, along with my blog, have also helped me stop picking at my skin …which is a horrible habit and always makes matters worse {even if I think it’s going to make it better}.
* Aveeno Positively Radiant Daily Moisturizer SPF & Aveeno Ultra-Calming Daily Moisturizer SPF– Over the years I’ve tried handfuls of lotions from La Mer to Vaseline and really, Aveeno has been my favorite for reducing redness and not aggravating my skin. I usually mix the two and/or use them with other lotions …under makeup and just alone as well.
* Burt’s Bees Naturally Ageless Day Lotion– this is a newfound love actually. It’s very fine and makes my skin very soft and doesn’t lead to breakouts {which is always my main concern with lotions – throughout my 20’s I could wear night cream and eye creams and never have a problem but now they just make my skin break out so I stay away from them all} I love this under makeup and usually add one of the Aveeno creams on top of it for a creamier feel & for the SPF.
