posted in: Skincare tips

We are back with some more of our favorite bloggers’ responses about what their daily morning routine looks like.

“I start the day off sitting on the back patio having a nice tall cup of coffee with my husband. I hate to admit it, but I am a coffee fanatic. I won’t get out of bed until my husband has it ready. I then proceed to get dressed and head to the bathroom. I usually throw my hair up in a quick pony tail, brush my teeth, wash my hands, and then run out the door to take the kids to school. Once I get back I can then think about my skin care routine. I usually use a light moisturizer, especially around my troubled eye area, let it dry, and proceed to apply light make up consisting on face powder, a bit of eye liner and shadow, and lip moisturizer/gloss. I am ready to begin working.”- http://www.freebiequeen13.net/

“As I’ve gotten older, I’ve realized that we must take better care of our skin, so I’ve done a major overhaul with my morning routine and I’ve definitely seen it make a wonderful improvement. I like to start out with a daily cleanser or refining mask to cleanse my skin well. As my pores then to be larger and at times my skin can be oily, I also use a pore minimizing toner following cleansing. This reduces shine, dirt, and pore size. It’s very important to use a good serum too in your daily morning routine and I do wish I started utilizing this product sooner. Hyaluronic Acid and Vitamin C are fantastic ingredients to consider when choosing a serum and I generally alternant between those two types from day-to-day to ensure that I don’t cause stress to my skin. Shortly after the serum dries, I usually apply a good, oil-free moisturizer. This helps the serum that I’ve just applied absorb well into the skin and ensure its effectiveness. Lastly, I’ve been added the awesome [re]fresh Eye Serum to my daily morning routine and I’ve seen a big difference and improvement in my under eye area! The dark circles I once had have all but virtually disappeared and it seems to de-puff eyes almost instantly!” –Christina Dozier from The Beauty Closet

“My daily morning routine involves cleansing the skin (separate from the shower) with a good purifying cleanser. At night the skin works hard to regenerate and sheds a lot of dead skin. I apply a SPF 30,then my makeup. I NEVER leave the house without makeup. I feel naked without it! :)” – Marie from http://iamthemakeupjunkie.blogspot.com/

“I wake up every morning and brush my teeth. Occasionally, I will oil pull with Coconut Oil. I don’t do too much with skin care in the morning, but when I do, it’s usually just toning my skin followed by a serum or moisturizer. It usually depends on the weather and how my skin is that day. My makeup routine usually begins with a primer followed by foundation, concealer, bronzer, blush, eye shadow, eyeliner, and mascara. When I am done, I like to use a setting spray.”-Sarah from http://www.sarahafsharbeauty.com
