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.
