My Skincare Routine and Tips for a More Radiant Glow
Hey everyone, it's time to face the facts, detoxing and getting into shape doesn't just apply to your body. Beautiful, healthy skin is achievable if you put in the effort and stay consistent. Healthy, glowing skin has always been a priority of mine and has only become more important as I've gotten older. Beauty certainly shines from the inside out, but implementing a good skincare routine can't hurt. It's never too late to start improving and enhancing the natural beauty you've been blessed with.
Below are my am/pm skincare routines along with a couple easy beauty tips I find most useful. I really enjoy the m-61 products and have been seeing great results. Developing a personalized skincare routine will benefit you now, as well as the future. I promise you, your future self will be thanking you!
AM ROUTINE
- Wash face with warm water and a gentle face wash; avoid using soap.
- Pat skin dry (never wipe)
- Unwrap and apply m-61 Hydraboost HA Serum Pad to face; let excess moisture absorb into skin (I cut my pads in half to get more bang for my buck)
- Apply a few drops of m-61 Vitblast C Serum to face, do not rinse (a little goes a long way)
- Evenly apply toner to skin (creates a great foundation for makeup application)
- Apply makeup
PM ROUTINE
- Use an oil based makeup remover to remove most of the surface makeup
- Wash face with a gentle face wash and warm water
- Use Vanity Planet ultimate facial brush all over skin for about two minutes
- Pat skin dry
- Apply m-61 Vitablast C Serum pad to face; let excess moisture set
- Evenly apply a few drops of m-61 Vitblast C Serum to face and rub gently into skin; this is great for that extra overnight moisture
- Lay on a clean pillow case and enjoy some beauty sleep
VANITY PLANET FACIAL BRUSH
The Vanity Planet Ultimate Skin Spa Cleaning Facial Brush is my go-to facial brush. It's great for all types of skin and leaves you with a glowing, clean finish. I purchased mine on Amazon for only $32.99. This brush is battery operated and comes with three removable brush heads (gentle, daily, and exfoliating brush) that are interchangeable. If you're looking for a product that will enhance your skin, I surely recommend giving this brush a try.
MY QUICK TIPS TO GLOWING SKIN
EXFOLIATE
This may be the most crucial step to creating a more glowing and radiant complexion. Exfoliating once or twice a week is a great habit to form. This process removes dead skin cells and helps promote healthy, clean skin. Try to exfoliate in the evenings, this helps produce healthy cell turnover as you sleep.
USE VITAMIN C OR BRIGHTENING SERUM
Vitamin C is not only excellent for a healthy immune system, it is a wonderful addition to your daily skin routine.
HYDRATATION
I know what you're thinking.. drink more water! Of course this is key, but limiting your alcohol and sweet intake can surely help. Find clever ways to eat more water-dense foods and never go anywhere without your moisturizer.
FACIALS
A facial every now and again won't solve all your skin problems, but can really have wonderful results when added to an already good facial regiment. I love facials and find it important to always treat yourself.
GOODNIGHTS SLEEP
Let's face it, a puffy tired face is anything but radiant. Even though there are times when we feel there aren't enough hours in the day, never sacrifice your beauty sleep. It may be challenging in the beginning, but once you start turning in early, it becomes easier.
