Skincare: Fall Favorites
The fall season is finally here! As exciting as fall and all its festivities are, the weather changes can toll a HUGE toll on my skin.
During the colder months, my skin tends to get drier so it’s super important to me that I am treating my skin the best way possible. I absolutely LOVE a good skincare routine and am obsessed with trying new products. That’s why I’m here to share some of my favorite fall essentials with you all!
Take a peak :
Mario Badescu Facial Spray (aloe + cucumber + green tea)
This facial spray is one of my favorites that I use any time throughout the day. I usually use it after a workout or in the afternoon when my face feels like it needs to be freshened up! Since I wash my face two times a day (morning and night), the middle of the day is a perfect time to do this. It gives my face a clean, fresh feeling and smells AMAZING too! Not only that, but it invigorates dull and tired skin with the use of nutrient-rich ingredients.
Rose Hip Oil
Rose Hip Oil has been a lifesaver for me.
On days when I need a little extra hydration, I put two drops on each of my cheeks and massage it into my cheek bone area, next to my nose and under my eyes. I use this before my moisturizer so it really coats my skin and allows it to really set in. This gives me a nice glow and also works as a nice primer as well!
Clinique Gel Moisturizer
Before I talk about this product, I just want to say I am OBSESSED with Clinique Products.
They have done nothing but great things for my skin, especially when i get a few harsh breakouts every now and then.
Specifically, this moisturizer feels light-weight on my skin while providing an oil-free finish. It keeps any oil production controlled and lasts long as well!
*I pair this with: Clinique liquid facial soap + Clinique clarifying lotion (liquid substance used on a cotton ball after washing).
If my face gets flaky at all, I use their exfoliant cream in the shower to get rid of any dead skin which leaves me face feeling super smooth!
LANEIGE Lip Sleeping Mask
The LANEIGE Lip Sleeping Mask is perfect for luscious, hydrated lips. Although it’s an overnight sleeping balm, it works just as well during the day! I wear it overnight when my lips feel like they need the extra hydration, and also keep it with me during the day. The scent “mixed berries” is super yummy too 🍓
MILK Matcha Toner
This mini toner is infused with matcha that detoxifies pores and balances the skin. I love the mini version because, as a college student, I am always on-the-go! It makes it easy to throw in my bag and have whenever I need it. I normally use this on my makeup-free days throughout the day to refresh my skin. Kombucha and witch hazel also help to absorb any access oil! It’s a handy little product that helps me on my lazy days.
Kate Somerville Spot Treatment
So — I don’t usually experience bad acne or anything severe, but every now and then I get a few breakouts that seem to take quite a few days to complete get rid of. This overnight treatment is a holy grail! It’s very similar to the drying lotion by Mario Badescu. However, I have found for me personally that this works better and faster. It comes in a small, 30mL bottle and is divided by a clear liquid on top and pink on bottom. It is meant to be this way so if you try this, don’t shake the bottle before using! Before bed, I usually take a Q-tip and apply by making dots on my face where my affected areas are. When I wake up, the redness is almost completely gone and the breakout(s) have come to a flat surface. I use this about 2-3 days in a row and by then, they’re gone!
I hope you enjoyed reading a few of my fall favorites that keep my skin happy and healthy!
Thanks for reading, XoXo
