My skincare routine.

For the past few years I've been really into taking care of my skin.
Trying out products to see what really works for me.
I have oily/combination skin, I think it is really hard to find products that won't make me look like a stick of butter in the hot sun!

But after many fail products I think I finally found the right ones for me.
So I am here to share it and maybe this will help some of you guys.
I will post links bellow to where you can get the products.

                                          These are the  Products i like to use.

1.  Cetaphil Daily Facial Clenser.
I've been using this product for years!
Nothing gets rid of oil, makeup and dirt like this bad boy.
It is really gentle and I feel so squeaky clean after.

Cetaphil Daily facial cleanser, $5.99- $9.95


2. Facial cleaning brush.
This brush has made the world of a difference to my skin.
I feel like my skin is much softer, even and brighter.
Of course I would love to get a Clarisonic, but they are really expensive for me.
I use this every night and the way I do it is do a pump of my Cetaphil and brush my face in circular motions.

I got mine at TJ Maxx but Sephora has one just like it.

Face complexion brush, $7.00


 3. St. Ives Even & Bright face scrub.
I've been using this face scrub for a month and I love it.
It is a new product from St. Ives and I love this more than the apricot scrub.
The texture is really fine and the smell is ohhh soo good!!!
I do a scrub 3 times a week.
Over exfoliating can really strip your skin and can cause you to break out.

 St Ives Even and bright Pink lemon mandarin scrub, $4.50- $5.00



4. Witch Hazel face toner.
I know this is part of the alcohol family but I really like this a a toner.
I've tried Clinique's Clarifying Lotion #3 and that dried out my skin sooo much.
This I feel that for oily skin works really well and it gets all that dirt left behind.
Witch hazel is way cheaper than any other toners out there as well, I got mine at target for less than $2.00.

Up-up Witch Hazel Antiseptic, $1.77 - $5.00



5. Garnier Moisture Rescue Gel Cream.
I love gel creams for oily skin.
Super refreshing and really moisturizing without making you oily.
I gently pat this into my skin.
A little tip for you all is gently slapping your skin, this will bring blood to the surface of the skin and produce collagen.
The protein that helps our skin look young and beautiful.

GARNIER Moisture Rescue Refresh Gel Cream, $7.99 - $9.99


6. Tarte's Maracuja Oil and Maracuja C-Brighter Eye Treatment.
I've only been using this product for almost a week now and I am really diggin it.
I saw this on the Sephora website for only ten dollars, so I thought why not give it a shot!

These products are everywhere, all the beauty gurus on YouTube talk about them and I can see why now.
I did my research on beauty oils for a couple of weeks, I was going to get an argan oil but the oil seemed really thick and I really didn't know how my oily skin was going to react to it.

The Tarte oil seems really light, not a really heavy sent to it and so far my skin looks really good.
I will keep you guys updated on how these products work for me in the next few weeks.

Limited edition, Tarte Bright by night skincare discovery set, $10.00

  2. Besides doing a scrub 3 times a week, is this the order you use the products in? How do you use the Tarte products?
