I haven’t done a beauty post in what seems like forever because well, my skin has been a hot mess. The dullness, uneven skin tone, clogged pores, and breakouts have been crazy! I mean why is adult acne even a thing?? And then there’s wrinkles to deal with which are inevitable in your 30s. Truth is, my skin hasn’t been the same since having Matea and it was really starting to affect my confidence. As much as I’ve talked about self-care this year, my skin was the only thing I was really neglecting. I knew it was time to step it up.
For the past few months, I’ve been giving my night time skincare routine some extra TLC and it’s been paying off big time. In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month and Stage Stores Pink October initiative, I’m baring it all today with some of my all-time favorite beauty products from Stage Stores. From October 10-23, Stage will be celebrating all women with a 14-Day Beauty Bash full of “pinktastic” deals on some amazing brands (including all the products mentioned in my night time skincare routine).
CLEANSE
I’ve been loving this Purity Made Simple One-Step Facial Cleanser from Philosophy. It’s a 3-in-1 cleanser that removes dirt and impurities, tones, and hydrates my skin in one easy step. I just dab a small amount onto my Clarisonic brush and get cleaning. It’s so clean and refreshing – no strong fragrances and suitable for all skin types. (FYI – I have combination skin.)
EXFOLIATE
This Clinique Seven Day Rinse-Off Scrub is a super gentle exfoliating cream I started using a few weeks ago and love! When I first purchased it, I used it for 7 days straight and noticed a difference in my skin’s texture as soon as I got out of the shower. Now I use it every 3 days or so and still get the same great results. If you have sensitive skin, don’t worry! The beads are super small so you probably won’t even notice they’re there.
MASK
Ahhh one of my favorite masks. If you’ve been following me for some time, you’ve heard me talk about this Origins Clear Improvement Active Charcoal Mask plenty of times. Hands down – love it. I use it at least once a week to deep clean my pores from all the environmental gunk floating around and have noticed way less breakouts after using it. I usually apply it fresh out of the shower when my pores are still steamy, leave it on for 10 minutes, then rinse with a warm towel. They just came out with a new version with honey that I’m dying to try!
SERUM
This Estée Lauder Advanced Night Repair Synchronized Recovery Complex II is on the pricier side, but worth every penny! Plus, a little goes a long way and once you see your skin glowing, you’ll be hooked. I only use 1 drop and massage it onto my skin and neck. The Hyaluronic Acid locks in moisture while helping to combat multiple signs of aging, dehydration, dullness, and fine lines and wrinkles. So, yes – it’s basically a miracle in a jar, but don’t take my word for it. There are thousands of women who also swear by it.
SERUM
Yup, another serum because I just can’t quit this one. This Origins A Perfect World Age Defense Skin Guardian is actually my 5th bottle! I’ve actually tried NOT using it for a couple weeks and my skin just wasn’t the same. My skin felt so dry without it. The antioxidant-rich white tea is the active ingredient that helps keep your skin youthful and smooth. I use it in the morning and evening before my moisturizer and my skin literally soaks it up.
EYE CREAM
Next up is the Estée Lauder Advanced Night Repair Eye Supercharged Complex Synchronized Recovery. For someone who has really sensitive eyes, this eye cream is wonderful. It is pricey, but a little goes a long way. The supercharged treatment helps repair the visible impact of lack of sleep (a parent’s dream!), UV, pollution, and even blue light (also a winner since I’m always on my phone or computer for work). Within a week, I saw noticeably brighter eyes! If you have dark circles, this can definitely help also.
MOISTURIZE
The last step is to moisturize with the Origins High-Potency Night-A-Mins™ Mineral Enriched Renewal Cream. I’m on my 3rd jar and cannot live without this cream! I discovered this cream after being so sleep deprived that I needed something to revive my skin overnight. This did the trick. Applying it is so refreshing because my skin soaks it up, but I always wake up feeling refreshed. The cream is thick, but not in a heavy way. It has a great consistency and smell. You’ll love it!
Have you tried any of these products from my skincare routine? Which beauty products are on heavy rotation in your night time skincare regiment? I’d love to hear.
