Skincare: Fall Favorites

Skincare.jpg

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
