the beauty box: our skincare routine.

ICV’s

S K I N C A R E 

_______

SKIN

T Y P E :

sensitive + oily with a side of dry. my skin

so i try not to experiment too much.

_______

C L E A N S E: 

aveeno: brightening cleanser: this is by far the best face wash i’ve ever used. it lathers really well and it leaves my face feeling moisturized. It works best when I use a little scrubbing pad.

thayers witch hazel: unlike the other toners I’ve used, thayers does not dry my face, have a funny smell, or burn. i squeeze some on a cotton pad, rub it in and my face feels fresh. i have seen people say it drys their skin, so do your research before you try it

M O I S T U R I Z E: 

trader joe's nourish oil-free antioxidant facial moisturizer: i began using this after watching a few youtube videos and it’s been one of my favorite purchases. i have dry, sensitive skin - it has yet to let me down. one pump of this magic covers my entire face and neck - a little goes a very long way! it can be found at your local TJ’s for much less than you’ll pay online.

trader joe’s zinc oxide sunscreen lotion: y’all i have never been a fan of sunscreen because of the smell and the ashy layer it gives me but it is nothing like that! i only use it on my face, but it works well on your entire body. like the facial moisturizer, a little goes a long way and it's cheaper if you purchase it in store!

S K I N C A R E:  

 now dimes, i just got into skincare, thanks to corona boredom and youtube. you all can probably help me out a lot more than i can help you. the big thing i make sure i avoid is fragrance. 

but here is what i have so far: 

_______

SKIN

T Y P E

combination, but i’m leaning towards dry. 

please send me some tips on other things i need to focus on! 

________

C L E A N S E: 

urban skinrx: i use the clear skin cleansing bar, they have 2 others to choose from depending on what you would like out of your cleanser. it comes with 2 sponges, but i purchased a facial brush in the beauty section at tj maxx.

toner: i’ve used several different brands in the past, i just happened to pick up a bottle of Heritage Store, rosewater toner at tj maxx. let me tell you, you think your face is clean until you follow up with your toner.

M O I S T U R I Z E: 

trader joe’s hyaluronic acid serum: found their skincare line thanks to a dermatologist youtube review, i must note i had a reaction to one of the products in the line, i am slowly working each one back in until i find the culprit. this serum seems to be innocent-fairly priced and a whole lot goes a long way.  i follow this while my face is still damp from the toner. 

clinique’s dramatically different moisturizing lotion+: i know, i know...i need to find something that doubles as a sunscreen. i’ve been searching, but my skin is super wild and can have funky reactions. thus far, this has been doing the job.

clinique moisture surge overnight mask: the same routine, but i use this at night and the glow in the morning, magnificent.
