TBH, I’m stuck in my house and don’t have much else to do other than face masks, so I thought I’d share an updated skincare routine, ha! I shared my pre-wedding routine a while back, and while the core remains the same, I have tried a few new products I wanted to share with you. I’m certainly no beauty blogger, but I follow a lot and am just a real person who wants good skin without spending an ish ton of money.
I’ve been using Tula for almost a year and a half. Before I had been using mostly drugstore brands and after hearing so much about Tula I decided to give it a shot and have been obsessed since. I can see a noticeable difference in the tone and brightness of my skin, as well as fewer breakouts. I love the products so much I became an affiliate after using them for a year, so you can get 15% off your Tula purchase with the code LEXEATS. The majority of my routine is from Tula with a few other brands sprinkled in there.
AM Routine
- Wash my face with Tula Purifying Face Cleanser
- Apply witch hazel toner with a cotton ball (I actually use these resusable pads to reduce waste)
- Tula Acne Clearing & Tone Correcting Gel
- The Ordinary’s “Buffet” Serum, a kind of all around vitamin and anti-aging serum
- Tula Aqua Infusion Gel Cream as moisturizer
- If I’m feeling extra fancy I will use Tula’s Rose Glow & Get It Cooling & Brightening Eye Balm before makeup. It brightens up the eyes, but definitely is not a necessity. I like it best to freshen up my makeup if I’m going from work to a dinner or something.
PM Routine
My am and pm routines are pretty similar with a few exceptions. I remove my makeup with Tula’s Replenishing Cleansing Oil. It melts away your makeup without drying out your skin. Then I follow the same steps as 1-4 of my morning routine. Then I use this Prickly Pear Seed Oil that’s supposed to be like magic in preventing wrinkles and fine lines. I finish with a moisturizer. If my skins feeling more dry and dehydrated, I use Weleda’s Skin Food Light Nourishing Cream. If I don’t need the moisture I just use a drugstore night cream.. tbh I’m not brand loyal I just make sure to use something with retinol.
If you’re interested in the Tula products you can actually buy the purifying cleanser, acne gel and aqua infusion gel cream in a set for a discount here. Don’t forget to use the code LEXEATS for an extra 15% off!
When I’m Feeling Fancy
I also love a good at home mask. I use this The Ordinary Salicylic mask when I’m getting breakouts. I can actually feel the product working, drying out my skin, but not in a bad way. I also love a Dr G Aqua Collagen Mask before events because I feel like I can actually see it plump up my skin and feel the moisturizing. And they’re $23.79 for a 10 pack! If my under eyes need a boost I use these Gold & Snail Hydrogel Eye Patches, $9.69 for a 60 pack. I use this Body Shop Vitamin C Glow Revealing Peel once every week or two. The product actually peels off so you can feel it working. I also love this Himalayan Charcoal Purifying Glow Mask from The Body Shop.
Well thanks for coming to my skincare Ted Talk 
Promise I’ll have some more food content for ya later this week.
Biscuits & blessings,
