am
Wash with Purity Made Simple in the shower, very gently buff my face, neck and cheat with Sephora's Complexion Brush
As soon I towel off from my shower I apply 4 drops Skin Ceuticals Serum 15 to my damp palms and rub in all over my damp face, neck and chest. I let that soak in for a few minutes.
When skin is dry, I apply Neutrogena Retinol eye cream, then I spot treat my blackhead prone nose with Philosophy Hope in a Bottle. I like to slather on a lip moisturizer at this tip as well.
I follow up with Skin Ceuticals Ultimate UV Defense (SPF 30) or whatever SPF 30 is my new passion.
I then do my hair, followed by makeup, get dressed and move my butt out the door to work!
pm
(I try to do this right after dinner, but often it does happen till bedtime)
Remove eye makeup with Ponds w/ Grape Seed oil/Bi-Phase stuff
Wash with same cleansing product as am
Apply Skin Ceuticals Intense Line Defense (A chemical exfoliate using same method as the serum in am) OR apply Neutrogena Anti-Wrinkle Retinol Lotion. (I switch off between the two every other night)
Treat eyes, lip and nose with same products as mentioned above for am use.
Then I wait. Later if my skin feels a little tight, or look dry in some spots, I slather on some Hope in a Jar lotion to those areas before sleep. (if I use retinol lotion, I skip this step)
Weekend treatments:
I like to steam my face with tea, do a manual treatment scrub like Philosophy Microdelivery Peel, followed by plain lotion (and eye cream) all over my face, neck, chest. I will hold off on makeup till I go out that night. If I skipped makeup (like when I stay home all day in with the DH that night I will use a Chanel Activateur Hydratation toner before I go to bed, and throw on some thick lotion. If I wear makeup during the day, I will wash and treat skin as normal before I go to bed.
