This past month I have been making sure to use the skin care products I found every day and every night and can say I have noticed a difference all ready. When I was looking for products I knew I wanted something that was not going to be harsh on my skin, (I learned in the past that my skin is sensitive to certain products) but I knew I wanted something that was going to get the job done.
I have been using the Simple Makeup Remover Wipes for a while now and love them. I feel like they do a really good job at getting all the makeup/gunk off my face but are also gentle to use to remove eye makeup and that is huge for me. So I decided to stick with the Simple brand (why fix what isn't broken right?) I picked up their face wash, toner, and a moisturizer but that did not pan out (I will explain later). I also picked up the Garnier SkinActive Ultra-Lift Miracle Anti Fatigue Day Cream , the Garnier SkinActive Clearly Brighter Anti Dark Circle Eye Roller this one comes with the tint. I also picked up the Nivea Soft Face, Hand, and Body lotion.
I use these products each day but there are some that I only use in the morning and some I only use at night.
In the morning I start by just taking a warm wet rag and wiping it all over my face as if I was taking off makeup. After dabbing my face dry with a clean towel I take the Simple Soothing Toner and put some on to a cotton round and wipe it all over my face and on my neck as well. While this dries I will brush my teeth once that is dry I use the Garnier Wake Up Day Cream and using a pea size amount rub it all over my face. I love this day cream because it is a gel and feels very light weight on my skin. I then use the Garnier Anti-Dark Circle roller and put it on my under eye area going from the inner corner to the outer corner and dab in product that comes out. I just started to use this product so I am not sure 100% how I feel about it but from the first use I really like it. I like that it has the tint with it giving you two products in one.
At night if I have makeup on I use a Simple Cleansing make up wipe and remove any of the make up I have on. Then on to damp skin I take one pump of the Simple Foaming Face Wash and wash my face. After washing off the face wash I use the toner on a cotton round just like in the morning. While this dries I floss and brush my teeth once the toner is dried I use the Nivea Soft lotion and use a small amount and rub it over my face. When using the Nivea Soft lotion I use only the amount I need since I have found thick lotions like this tend to clog my pores if I use to much.
I really enjoy the Simple Foaming Face Wash and the Simple Soothing Toner, they don't "upset" my skin but still give me the results I am looking for.
Now about the Simple Moisturizer I picked it up because I wanted something that had SPF in it and since I liked the other Simple products I thought why not. Well I will say it is a good moisturizer for sure but for me sadly it cause me to break out I do plan on trying it again come summer but for now I am going to stick to my Garnier Wake Up Day Cream. I really hope the Simple one does work for me since I know my skin likes those products and it has the SPF in it for summer.
Over all I am really enjoying my new skin care routine and find it to be a really nice way to relax at the end of the day and to also start my day off on the right foot. I will say though you start a new skin care routine don't be surprised if you have a few break outs that come out of know where it is normal as you clean your skin and draw all the dirt and "gunk" out of your pores.
Let me know what your favorite skin care products are!
