Ever since I was a little girl, my Mom stressed the importance of taking good care of my skin. Needless to say she looks about 10 years younger than she actually is, and that is because she takes immaculate care of her skin. So now, seeing that I am getting older, I have been trying to take better care of the one and only face I’ve got. I decided to share what I use and would love to get some more suggestions and tips on what you guys use and love! Please do share!
My Beauty Routine, Part 1:
Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser (not shown): I use this in the shower before I apply any toners or lotions. My skin is super sensitive and dry, but this cleanser keeps my face soft and moisturized.

Shobha Rosewater Toner Mist: Smells amazing and preps your skin before applying any other face lotions or primers.
Dove Ultimate Go Fresh Revive Deodorant in Pomegranate: I was given this at a Dove event and fell in love with its sweet, yet still very fresh scent.
Shobha Rosewater Freshening Cloths: I can’t swear by these enough. They do wonders in a pinch and feel especially amazing on your face and neck if you keep them chilled in the fridge.
Kiehl’s UV Protective Suncare Sunscreen Cream, SPF 20: A thin layer of sunscreen under primer or foundation is the best for your skin, and protects it against the elements.
Sephora’s FACE Eye Makeup Remover: I don’t know what I would do without a gentle makeup remover to erase the inevitable under eye smudge of mascara that shows up after washing I wash my face.
NP Set Pre-Foundation Bronzing Primer: I learned about primer from Keiko, and soon after recieved this product from my friend Carolyn. I don’t usually apply full bronzer to my face, but luckily it still works regardless if I add a little tan or not.
Elizabeth Arden Visible Difference: My Mom bought me this face cream and I love the thick and buttery texture it has, which leaves my skin silky smooth.

i absolutely adore Philosophy’s Hope in a Jar face lotion. its lightweight and leaves my skin glowy. the Purity facewash is pretty great too, but it isn’t quite strong enough to take off waterproof eye makeup.

Thanks for the skin tips!! I’ve used Cetaphil for as long as I can remember. Don’t you kind of wish you kept track of how many bottles you’ve gone through? I’ll never stop using it….

I’ve been looking for an everyday sunscreen for my face, and haven’t found one I like yet. What’s your skin type? I break out easily and am hypersensitive to every other product, which is why it’s been tough to find a sunscreen. I think I might just pick up the Kiehl’s though, if anything just to try it out. Is it really that great for you?

I love also to have my beauty routine… I started when i was 16 years old, I use the entire line of herbalife… my mom looks like my older sister… that’s the result of taking care of your skin, eat healthy and have a good lifestyle.

That’s my favorite Dove scent as well!
Philosophy has a fantastic face wash called “Purity Made Simple”– it feels great and removes make-up easily. I love using it.
