We all have them, those days where our faces just feel extra funky and need a good deep deep cleansing. Here is how personally cleanse my face on those days where I just need to scrub it allllll off.
It's always sad to have to wash off your bomb makeup that looks amazing all day, but you need to cleanse your face every night! Now obviously not as thoroughly as I am in this post, but the trick to flawless makeup? Beautiful skin underneath. You really need to take good care of your face! After all, to death do us part.
Now, when I need that deep deep cleanse I usually start with a light cleansing gel. I am using Tarte's Deep Dive Cleansing Gel, this stuff is like magic at getting all your makeup ready to wash up. Just lather all over your damp face, rinse, and like magic your makeup is gone! I also used a lip scrub, I used Indi Beauty's Buttercream antioxidant Lip scrub. This stuff works SOOOO good, and it smells heavenly. Plus it's all natural so a little taste doesn't hurt ;) and it tastes just like cake! I could seriously just eat this lip scrub!
After my first gentle cleanse I get a little more into it and use L'oreal's Revitalift Bright Reveal Brightening Daily Scrub Cleanser. I usually use this or my Vasanti Cleanser (Next) and stop, but when I need a deep cleanse like today, I do it a little different. I lather this with my hands and clean and scrub gently and then wash off. This stuff is really good for a daily cleanser that helps brighten your skin up and doesn't cost a lot. I defiantly recommend it to those wanting to clean up their face and save some money too!
Now on to my holy grail of facail cleansers! It was actually this product alone that got me so into my skincare. I got a sample in my Birchbox and loved it so much I had to get the full sized bottle. This is Vasanti's Brighten Up! Enzymatic Face Rejuvenator. It actually has micro crystals in it to help exfoliate your skin. I had horrible dark spots, uneven skin tone, scaring, you name it! This stuff has made my skin like new again. I cannot tell you enough how much I love this product. A little goes a long way, so the price really isn't that bad considering how long this bottle will last you. I could go on and on and on about how much I love this product. I use it with my dual action cleansing brush that I got from Ulta and my face has never felt this great! After I am done I rinse my face with cool water.
Toning is ESSENTIAL in your skin care. When I added it to my routine I noticed a remarkable difference in my pores and overall skin quality. I use Dickinson's original Pore Perfecting Toner. Totally old school, insanely affordable, and amazing results. Honestly there isn't any reason you shouldn't be using this product! They have another one for sensitive skin also. I always use it in the morning before makeup application as well!
After toning, I usually use Tarte's Maracuja Oil, but this momma is out and it is NOT cheap. The results are worth the money, let me tell you, so if you can afford it, DO IT! However, I don't always get to buy the high end products, so right now I am using e.l.f's Hydrating Serum. This stuff is actually really good too. There are a few negative reviews on it, but I don't think people are using it properly. It comes out looking a lot like a lotion, so I think people may over use the product. You really only need 1 pump and it will glide all over your face perfectly. It really moisturizes my skin and I've noticed a huge difference, I don't ever get dry flaky skin on my face like I used to!
Then, I just use a cheapo Walmart brand night time moisturizer, its an Olay dupe and it actually works just as good! It's their Equate Night-Time firming cream. I usually put a nice layer on my face and use my dual action cleansing brush with the sponge head to really work it into my face. A lot of the times when I'm lazy I just work it in with my hands and it works just as well. It smells soooooo good and you'll go to bed with a face as soft as a baby's bottom and smelling great! This stuff is also insanely cheap and a litttle goes a longgggg way. It really spreads out easily, so don't use too much if you buy it!
Don't forget to cover up any acne! I use a brand called Benzac. I honestly had never heard of this brand before and luckily picked it up at Dollar Tree, and after I did some research on it I realized what a score I got! I wish I had stocked up and bought tons of it. I don't really get a lot of acne but when one pops up I put this stuff on it before bed and I swear it's gone by morning! This stuff is POWERFUL. I just use the Intensive Spot Treatment and I've never had results like this before from any acne product.
After all that I want to put something on my lips to keep them moisturized through the night. I absolutely love Hempz products! I wish I could but every single thing that they offer! I have their Ultra Moisturizing herbal Lip balm called "Lips" I used to have dry, chapped, flaky lips until I started using this product! Now my lips are so smooth and soft. I LOVE this product to use before bed to wake up to super soft lips ready for lipstick.
Finally, whola! You're ready to go to bed with super lips and skin. You'll wake up so refreshed and your skin will never have felt better! I spent years not taking care of my skin and having a ZERO skin routine and I regret it. I will never go back. I love how my skin looks and feels.
I hope this blog helps some of you out there wanting to try new products, or even some like who I used to be and never did it at all! Trust me, once you start, you wont want to stop! The results get better and better everyday.
Thanks for reading!
