Basic Morning Routine

This is my current morning skincare routine. 

I use Cerave Cream to Foam Cleanser. This has moisturizing ingredients like Shea butter, glycerin and Ceramides. It also has exfoliants lactic acid and salicylic acid. It has niacinamide which can help brighten the skin.  

Next step is Paulas Choice Skin Perfecting Liquid which I apply a few drops to my t-zone and anywhere I’m prone to blackheads or breakouts. Salicylic acid helps reduce pore size and exfoliate while green tea extract calms the skin.

If I’m using a vitamin C serum, I apply it here in the routine but I’m not currently using one.

I moisturize with La Roche Posay Cicablast Balm which has panthenol to sooth dry winter skin. 

My curren sunscreen is Elta MD Clear which is a mineral based sunscreen so I can apply it even around the eyes and it doesn’t sting and dries clear. I also use the tinted version of this but I ran out. I do use a tinted SPF makeup BB cream when I wear makeup. 

Final step is Aquaphor to my lips!
