Clean Skin Care Morning Routine

Cleanse: CeraVe Hydrating Oil Face Cleanser - I work this cleanser into a lather either by hand, with a cotton cloth or a silicone massager brush. I use lukewarm water to rinse the cleanser from my face.

Tone: e.l.f. Keep Your Balance Toner - I put some on a cotton ball and gently rub over my face and neck. I let dry completely before moving to the next step.

Serum: TruSkin Vitamin C Face Serum - this serum is lightweight and I've definitely seen results with it lightening age spots and scars on my face and hands. I put 4-5 drops on my hands and then smooth over my face and neck. Then I put one drop on my fingers and smooth over the back of my hands.

Moisturize: e.l.f. SKIN Suntouchable Invisible Sunscreen - I put a nickel size amount on my finger and then apply all over my face, neck and chest. Depending on how dry my skin is I may need more to get good coverage.

Eye Cream: e.l.f. Holy Hydration Eye Cream - I apply this around my eyes prior to putting makeup on if I didn't apply sunscreen around my eyes. If I'm going to be in the sun I go with sunscreen, but if I'm inside I use this cream.

Clean Skin Care Evening Routine

Cleanse: Native Brightening Paraben Free Facial Cleanser - I use this lightly scented cleanser in the evening. If I'm out I also sometimes use the same cleanser from my morning routine. If I'm wearing makeup then I remove it first with this e.l.f. Holy Hydration Makeup Melting Cleansing Balm by rubbing the balm over my face and eye makeup then wipe it off with a damp cotton cloth.

Tone: e.l.f. Keep Your Balance Toner - I put some on a cotton ball and gently rub over my face and neck. I let dry completely before moving to the next step.

Moisturize: e.l.f. Holy Hydration Fragrance Free Face Cream - I apply this to my face, neck and chest at night. If my skin is feeling dry I will put e.l.f. Youth Boosting Blue-ty Sleep Night Oil over the face cream.

A Couple of Times Per Week

Morning: Pacifica Kale Charcoal Ultimate Detox Mask - once a week I apply this mask to my face. If I'm short on time I will just apply to any acne spots I have and let dry before I complete my morning face cleansing routine.
