” because when you get older, you don’t want to look as old, as all the other old bags”
Ladies the most important thing you can do for you skin is take care of it! Sounds simple enough right?! That’s because it is, and once you get into a routine it will be like second nature! My grandma always told me to make sure I save my money and make sure I use good skin care! She would proceed to tell me ” because when you get older you don’t want to look like as old as all the other old bags” and my grandma looked pretty amazing for her age so I listened to every bit of advice she had!
I’m going to give you a break down of my routine and the products I use for both day and night. I do switch it up a little bit from time to time as well, but currently this is what I do on the reg. Please note though that everyone skin type is different and what I love and what works for me, you might not love as much and it might not work for you. Also I do have very dry skin. So here we go…
Morning Skin Care Routine
STEP ONE: I slap REN CLEAN SKINCARE- Keep Young and Beautiful Instant Beauty Shot on my face. This is definitely a ride or die product for me and if you’ve followed be for a whole now, I’m sure you’ve heard me talk about it a lot. It firms up my face, evens out the lines and wrinkles, and gives my skin a little glow. I do about 2 drops and rub it into my face. I saw noticeable results after using it for about 3 weeks! I do use this morning and evening. Worth every penny!
STEP TWO: I use Image SkinCare Vital C Hydrating Anti-Aging Serum. This stuff is gold! I have used it for years! It’s lightweight, soaks into my skin easily and super hydrating. I do one pump and rub all over my face and neck. It also helped with my fine lines and dark spots.
STEP THREE: Moisturizer time! You thought step two was my moisturizer? No my friends I like to load up on all the moisturization I can get! So I follow up with my daily moisturizer. I have a few I love. Right now I’m currently I using Tatcha Water Cream, this one is light weight but super moisturizing. It feels amazing, and reduces my pore size. It’s worth the price and ladies there is a reason it keeps selling out! I also love Image Skin Care Vital C Hydrating Intense Moisturizer. And Eve Lom TLC Cream. The TLC cream is a little thicker, so I use it during the winter when I’m extra dry.
STEP FOUR: Last step for day time I promise! This step I manly only apply during spring and summer months. I always make sure I have an SPF. I try to protect my skin form the damages of the sun as much as possible. Even if my makeup has SPF in it, I apply a little Image Skin Care Protection + 50. It is a little thicker but I use the smallest amount. Its a great SPF and I never get burnt wearing it.
And that is it for my daily routine. I do not wash my face in the morning unless I wore a overnight mask, since I wash my face every night. I have never really understood the whole washing your face morning and night, since you don’t apply makeup at night and just put all your moisturizers on. I like to just let them continue to soak into my skin and do their thang.

Nightly Skin Care Routine
I’m not going to lie I look forward to taking off my make-up and putting on my nightly skin care all day long. There’s no better feeling for your face then being fresh, clean, and moisturized. Am I right?! The most important thing you can do for your nightly routine is wash your face. NEVER sleep in your make-up ladies…NEVER! It is so bad for you skin, causes break outs, and clogged pores. Don’t do it!
STEP ONE: Wash your face!!! Now I use to just use my body wash to wash my face and I still do occasionally if I’m in a hurry! Although it is drying for my face (love it for the body) I use two different face washes. The first one is Image Skin Care The MAX Stem Cell Facial Cleanser. It has great Anti-Aging ingredients plus removes all my make-up including mascara and leaves my skin feeling soft and smooth. I use this with my Mia 2 Clarisonic, I set my setting for the 2 min and just let it do its thing. If you don’t have a Clarisonic yet get one now girl! It is pricey and an investment but it really removes all the dead skin and leaves you skin renewed and glowing! The second cleanser I use is Eve Lom Cleanser. This one is pricey but again sooo good! It’s super moisturizing and feels like giving yourself a mini facial. It has a balm consistency and deep cleans pores without stripping or drying out your skin. It uses clove oil to target blemishes and eucalyptus oil to combat toxins. I usually use this The MAX with my Clarisonic 3 days a week and Eve Lom the rest.
STEP TWO: I throw on REN CLEAN SKINCARE- Keep Young and Beautiful Instant Beauty Shot Again I use this one day and night for the best results.
STEP THREE: I use REN CLEAN SKINCARE- Bio Retinod Anti-Wrinkle Concentrate Oil. This oil makes my skin very soft, has visibly reduced my fine lines, and my skin looks looks plump and well-rested in the morning. It hasn’t cause me any breakouts even though it is an oil.
STEP FOUR: Right now for my night cream I have been using Image Skin Care Vital C Hydrating Repair Cream. Again I have very dry skin and this is super hydrating. Perfect for night time not thick and absorbs easily. I also love Eve Lom SPACE.NK.apothecary TLC Cream. It is very thick but its great for winter when I’m extra dry, because it’s a great intense moisturizer.
STEP FIVE: Eye Cream. Belief Moisturizing Eye Bomb. This stuff is amazing and lasts forever! It’s very light, (I hate a thick eye cream) and absorbs fast and easily. Plus smooths fine lines, super moisturizing boosts elasticity, and increases the resilience.
And that’s it! I also like to do a at least a week. Right now I’m obsessed with Image Skincare Total Overnight Retinol Masque. It supports collagen while slowing moisture loss from the epidermal layer of the skin while continually hydrating. I use this 2 times a week, apply a thin layer to my entire face. Go to sleep and wake up to wash it off. Love this masque!
I hope this is helpful and let me know if you try any of the products. I’d love to know how they work for you. And remember to take care of your skin, wash your face, put on your moisturizer, and drinks lots of water!!! We don’t want to look as old as all the other old bags!!!
