CURRENT SKIN CARE ROUTINE

I always love trying new products and often change up what I use on my hair, skin and for makeup. Even if I really love something, I usually grow tired of it and think there is something better out there and start trying new things which is how I found myself using an old favorite again.

Today I wanted to share my current skin care routine. If I would have been blogging ten years ago, this would be a repeat post. Approximately ten years ago I stumbled onto Trish McEvoy makeup and fell in love. Shortly after trying and loving her makeup, I tired the skin care line and fell in love with her skin care products too. Now that I am using them again, I am not even sure why I ever stayed from her brand. It’s good and definitely one of my all time favorites.

I use the same products day and night. I love that her products don’t leave my skin feeling heavy or greasy and I have seen improvement in the short month or so since I have started using them again. Who doesn’t love quick results?

I start by washing my face with the Gentle Cleansing Wash. I either use my hands or Clarisonic, if I am not being lazy. After drying my face, I use the Daily Exfoliator Beta Hydroxy Pads and once a week (at night) use the Correct and Brighten Weekly Peel. Next I use three different serums: Line Eraser on my neck and chest, Beauty Booster Serum all over my face and Beauty Booster Eye Serum under and around my eyes. I finish with the Beauty Booster Cream or Beauty Booster Cream with SPF 30 if I know I will be spending the day in the sun.

If you want to try just a few products; I recommend the Gentle Cleansing Wash, the Daily Exfoliator Beta Hydroxy Pads and the Beauty Booster Cream.

HAIR CARE FAVORITES

Finding the right hair and beauty products can be quite the challenge. I’ve tried my fair share over the years and finally have a combination of products I love and work really well on my dry, color treated hair. These have been favorites of mine for almost a year and are too good not to share.

My all time favorite shampoo and conditioner are the Inphenom shampoo and treatment conditioner. It’s good you guys! I used to love this and this, and still will grab one of them if I run out and need to pick up something quickly from Ulta, but Inphenom is my first choice. My dry, color treated hair has been much healthier since I made the switch last summer.

After washing my hair, I use Unite 7 seconds conditioner and U-oil. If I leave my hair to air dry, those are the only products I use. If I am going to blow out my hair, I will use the Oribe Royal Blowout before blow drying.

The U-oil is my favorite argon oil and I’ve tried a few. Not only do I love using it on my hair, I use on Lexi’s hair too. She really didn’t get hair until she was two, like mother like daughter I guess, and her hair is super dry. Even if her head looks kind of greasy just after putting it on her hair, within minutes it’s soaked in and her hair is much softer.

I love switching up my routine and trying new products. Do you have any must haves I should try?

PCA SKINCARE FAVORITES

Did you know September is National Skin Care Awareness month? Until a few days ago, I didn’t either! While skimming Instagram, I saw a really great giveaway opportunity from PCA, my favorite skin care line, and thought I would share it with you.

I was introduced to PCA around six years ago and have been using it ever since. I can tell a difference in my skin when I use these products, it’s so much clearer. I have tried a number of PCA products, but wanted to share my three favorites today.

My all time favorite is the bpo cleanser. Even when I stop using this for awhile, if I start using it at the first signs of a breakout, it stops it in it’s tracks. This is my favorite cleanser to help keep blemishes at bay. I use clearksin to mositurize at night and the protecting hydrator during the day before applying make up. I also use the protecting hydrator as my sunscreen on days I am at the pool or beach. It’s not greasy and and I don’t worry that I will breakout from using it. If you’ve tried PCA and have a favorite product, I would love to know what it is. Leave a comment below!

HONESTLY GOOD

When Alexis was a baby, I ordered a sample pack from The Honest Company. After trying and liking their products, I subscribed. We loved the diapers (hello, cute prints – duh) and wipes. With each subscription, I tried new products and liked them as well, but today what I wanted to talk about is their organic healing balm. This stuff does not get the credit it deserves!

I will spare you before and after photos, but one night I decided to try it on my very dry feet before I went to bed. I didn’t do anything special; I put it on my feet, put some socks on and went to bed. The next morning, my feet were the softest they have ever been! No kidding, better than post pedicure soft – after one use!

I’ve been hooked on this product ever since. If you haven’t tried the healing balm or haven’t tried it on your feet, try it to tonight! You can thank me later.

The Honest Company is no longer exclusively sold online. I’ve seen it at both Target and BuyBuyBaby.

If you try this, I would love to hear how you like it!
