Everyone always asks me what is your skincare routine. I get a little hesitant to tell them because I do not want to overwhelm them with my 5-6 step routine. But who am I to make the decision for them. Here is my full skincare routine with my favorite skin care products at the moment. Step 1: I cleanse with my @tatchabeauty Deep Cleanse. You can use this gel cleaner everyday. It's great for normal to oily skin and has a natural fruit exfoliant to get deep and clean out all the dirt in your skin. Step 2: I use the @goodmolecules Caffeine Energizing Hydrogel Eye Patches I do not do this step all the time but maybe once or twice a week. These eye patches are amazing. They hydrate, firm and energize tired eyes. They come in handy whenever I've had a long without sleep. I put these babies on the next day and I look like I’ve had a full night of sleep. Step 3: I tone my skin with the @goodmolecules Niacinamide Brightening Toner. This tone is my holy grail. I have seen a major difference in the brightness of my skin. I usually gently swipe the toner over my skin with a cotton pad and let dry before I move onto the next step. Step 4 : Serum. My go to serum at the moment is the @goodmolecules Discoloration Correcting Serum. This has helped me tremendously with the hyperpigmentation around my mouth and cheeks. I do not know what I would do with this serum and definite must have. Step 5: Last but not least I finish my routine with @tatchabeauty Water Cream. I love how light weight it is. It does not leave the skin weighted down with product not to mention the amazing scent of wild rose. I’m obsessed. This is perfect for normal to oily skin and great for minimizing your pores.

My skin looks photoshopped! I am obsessed with Juvia's Place complexion products. Their concealer and foundation is to die for. Let's talk about the foundation. The I am Magic Velvety Matte Foundation ($20) is my full coverage dream. It is also matte and has a velvety finish so it's perfect for oil skin. It covers all my freckles and pores and gives me a flawless finish. Now the concealer ( I Am Magic Concealer $14). It says it in the name. It's like magic in a bottle. I do not think I could use another concealer again. It does not crease under the eye and does not feel heavy under the eye either. All in all I love both of these products and thr price point makes it even better. You can purchase them online or at your local Ulta.

The ICONIC setting powder is now available in a new Honey Shade. If you are olive to medium skin tone, this is the answer to your prayers. This setting powder is very light and melts right into the skin for a filter finish.It is also great for all skin types. On top of everything else  It is also flash back proof. This finely milled powder keeps your beautiful look locked in for up to 12 hours. This setting powder has always been my go to product but even more so now that it comes in the honey shade. The $39 is such a great investment and amazing addition to my makeup routine.

I’ve been on a journey of finding ways to improve the hyperpigmentation on my skin. Low and behold the SDARA - Microneedle Roller 2.0 which I found on amazon. This little guy is supposed to help reduce wrinkles and fine lines, improve the appearance of acne scarring and hyperpigmentation, exfoliate dead skin cells, and help with the absorption of your products! Now, I’ll be honest it’s only been a week but I am enjoying my experience thus far. The prickling of the needles into your skin is an interesting experience nonetheless. Typically I Derma roll for about 2 minutes vertically and horizontally (they say Derma roll BEFORE the application of products) I did mess up by doing it after OOPS! Skincare is all about trial and error though right? Then I wash my face with my CeraVe - Hydrating Facial Cleanser then I apply my SKINCEUTICALS - Discoloration Defense Skin Discoloration Serum (which has changed my life, but that’s for another post). Next, I go in with my OLE HENRIKSEN - Banana Bright Vitamin C Serum (rating it a 4 because it makes my face sticky). Lastly I apply MINIMO SKIN ESSENTIALS - Radiant Skin Brightening Moisturizer (this here is the truth for discoloration and it contains turmeric, bearberry root, and licorice!) I heard Derma rolling is also great for stretch marks (which have magically appeared on my thighs) so stay tuned on my Derma rolling experience.
