My Face Routine

This is my everyday routine to take care of my skin and maintain it as long as I can ;]

Products:

  • Makeup remover : Neutrogena Cleansing Towelettes - Night Calming (purple package)
  • Cleanser : Neutrogena Fresh Foaming Cleanser
  • Olay Pro X Cleanser System
  • Daily Moisturizer: MAC Oil Control Lotion
  • Night Cream: MAC Studio Moisture Cream
  • Eye Cream: MAC Moisturelush Eye Cream
  • Face Scrub: MAC Volcanic Ash Exfoliator (limited edition)



Morning:

I cleanse my face with Neutrogena's Fresh Foaming cleanser on the Olay Pro X Cleanser system. Once my skin is squeaky clean, I moisturize with MAC's Oil Control Lotion and apply MAC's Moisturelush under my eyes.



Night:

I remove all traces of makeup with Neutrogena's Towelettes and then cleanse my face with Their Fresh Foaming Cleanser and my Olay Pro X system. Twice a week, I use MAC's Volcanic Ash exfoliator to help slough away dead skin and rejuvenate my skin. I finish the night with MAC's Studio Moisture Cream and Moisturelush Eye Cream.
