If you know me, you know I love the word goopy. If you don't know me, I love the word goopy. If you know me, you know I take my morning and nighttime skincare routine semi seriously. My skincare products are fairly inexpensive and many can be found at your local drugstore. Your skincare routine does NOT have to be pricey at all! It should be something you can maintain - because healthy, glowing skin requires everyday love, not a billion dollars.
Here is a list of all the products I use, why I use them, what they do, and why you should use them on your skin too. #getgoopy
1. Cerave Lotion
THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME. FOREVER. I put so much on my face and neck (very underappreciated area) every day, night, and whenever I feel even a little dry. It's light, non greasy and keeps your skin so hydrated all day. It also gives that dewy, Glossier vibe that people are going for these days. 10/10 Highly Recommend.
2. Urban Decay Vitamin B6 Spray
You feel it working the second it falls onto your skin! I've had significantly less breakouts, pores decreased in size, and less shine! It's a soothing prep spray that features the first stabilized form of vitamin B6, which absorbs oil, minimizes pores, and reduces redness. Vitamin B6 normalizes overactive cell-signaling proteins (called cytokines) to help control sebum production, vitamin E provides antioxidants, and willow bark (rich in natural salicylic acid) supports natural cell turnover. 10/10 Highly Recommend.
4. Shigeta Rose Water Spray
I feel so fancy when I spray this beautifulness on my face. 100% of pure and organic rose floral water without additives and preservatives. It soothes, awakens and refines the complexion. It refreshes and sets your makeup, and softly perfects your skin.
5. Proactive Renewing Cleanser
Something I've just used pretty much my whole life. If it works don't fix it. But it's good, a light exfoliator and doesn't dry out your skin. It removes dead skin cells with tiny exfoliating beads that are smooth and round – without any edges to tear or scratch sensitive skin.
6. Cerave Night Time Eye Cream
It's thick, it's creamy, and it stays on till the morning. Moisture around the eyes is very important. I also put this on if it's really cold (as if it adds another layer on protection). It's designed not only to visibly reduce dark circles and puffiness, but also to help repair and restore the delicate skin barrier around your eyes-leaving you with brighter, smoother, healthier looking eyes. Non-greasy and fast absorbing formula. Ceramides help repair the skin barrier.
7. NUDE Prickly Pear Firming Youth Oil
I'm not a HUGE fan of the smell, but it adds an extra little shine and a pick-me-up when you really need it. My face starts tingling the second I put it on my skin. Reawaken skin’s firm, resilient tone with this transformative oil that contains a targeted blend of some of nature’s most effective ingredients to help fight signs of aging. It has all this good stuff in it: omegas 3, 5, 6, 7 & 9, prickly pear, peacock's tail algae, passion fruit, acai. A smoothie on your face!
8. NUDE Progenius Oil
MY FAVORITE SKINCARE ITEM IN THIS WHOLE WORLD. It makes your skin GLOW. No exaggeration. My skin feels so great in the morning when I put this on at night. Direct nutrients right to the face! An anti-aging facial treatment oil formulated with a potent blend of omegas and 10 natural plant oils to promote smooth, youthful, luminous skin. 10/10 Highly Recommend.
9. Tony Moly Banana Sleeping Pack
It smells like a real banana. I just use it around my eyes and on my cheeks. VERY thick! Sleeping pack with banana extract gives rich nutrition while sleeping. It has chamomile extract which I believe adds some extra flavor. My skin always feels plumper after a night with the big banana. You really have to love bananas to like this product - so, there's my review, take it or leave it.
10. Biossance Revitalizer
I feel slippery when I use this. Like a cute/wet seal. I usually put it on at night - VERY HYDRATING! It has squalane, the world's leading moisturizer, replenishes your skin by using a moisturizer found naturally within you. The Revitalizer leaves you feeling instantly nourished, noticeably revitalized, and very shiny.
11. Kiehl's Rosa Arctica Cream
It smells SO good. Funky texture, but skin significantly appears more hydrated and fuller the next morning. This restorative cream is powered by the resurrection flower, a rare blossom that can survive over two years of drought by going into a state of suspended animation. When it’s hydrated, the flower returns to life within hours—and when applied to your skin, it boosts collagen and elastin production. Translation: a revived, youthful complexion. Fancy AF.
12. Origins High Potency Night - A - Mins
Love the way this cream smells (think oranges, a gin and tonic, and a beach) and all that with the added benefit of revitalized skin. I put it around and under my eyes, and a touch on the forehead, because foreheads need love too. My skin feels EXTREMELY soft. 10/10 Highly Recommend.
Good skin is an every day process. You must put in the time and energy for a healthy, glowing face. Don't ever ever ever leave your makeup on. I hope you try some of my favorite products - the goopier the better.
