If you’ve ever wondered what your favorite writers use on their skin, look no further.
In the morning I wash my face with something really gentle like theSoy Cleanser from FreshorFirst Aid Beautys cleanser.
Nothing too crazy, nothing medicated.
Twenty20 / @colettedominique
Just something to clean my skin and wake it up.
Next Ill applyGood Genes by Sunday Rileybecause lactic acid is amazing and its literally completely changed my skin.
After that sets in (usually give it a minute or two) Ill apply a serum.
Last is moisturizer and I alternate between either theRose Hydration Face Cream from Freshor thePriming Moisturizer from Glossier.
At night its similar but with a few different products.
First Ill remove all my makeup with a makeup remover likeTake The Day Off by Clinique.
Lately Ive been all about theGreen Tea Balancing Toner from Herbivore.
But if its one of those ~moody skin times~ Ill use theMartian Gel Toner from Sunday Riley.
I feel like its a little stronger and it targets acne more than something on the lighter side.
Next is my favorite thing in the world, face oil!
Its a game changer.

Step 1:Cleanse dry skin withGlossier Milk Jelly Cleanser.
This cleanser leaves my skin feeling clean, and hydrated.
Step 2:Tone withLa Roche-Posay Serozinc Spray.
This is a special zinc based spray that helps to reduce redness.
Step 3:Spot treat withHexomedine Transcutanee.
This product gets deep into the skin, and helps to heal the pimple from the inside out.
I soak a q-tip in it, dab it on the problem area, and let dry.
Within hours, the pimple is reduced, and it is completely gone within 1-2 days.
Step 5:I never forget the sunscreen.
I useLa Roche-Posay Antethlios 60 Ultra Light Sunscreen.
Step 5:I use theAvene TriAcneal Expertmoisturizing lotion at night.
This moisturizer helps to kick imperfections, hyperpigmentation, blemishes, and redness to the curb.
It always leaves my skin feeling baby soft, and hydrated.
Seriously look this stuff up.
You will be convinced after reading a few reviews.
Some peoples faces feel kind of rough?
But then if they start moisturizing and exfoliating its soft and looks a lot healthier.
Those are my favorite things to do.
I think theres a spiritual quality to exfoliating.
My favorite beauty product isModern Friction from Origins.
Its a really deep but really gentle exfoliator and it makes you feel totally new and bright and clean.
I love theNightamins Moisturizer from Origins too, its really thick and smells amazing.
I useOrigins Out of Trouble MaskandPeter Thomas Roth Invisible Dotsif Im having skin issues.
Sometimes Ill putwitch hazelon my face in the mornings though.
Smells good, comes in a little box that makes it easy to travel with.
Good for blood circulation.

My main skin issue is dryness.
The products I use now are all from a skincare line calledSkin Script.
When I wake up in the morning, I rinse my face with water.
Then I immediately put on a serum called Ageless Hydrating Serum.
Its the first time Ive ever used a serum and man is it a game changer.
If you have dry skin, get in on the serum action, youll thank me.
At night, I just do the same thing.
https://www.instagram.com/p/BViFwAcFl9IQo_42RLYODqb_if2xe1oL9C9jD80/?taken-by=tarkoffnI have really oily skin.
My skin is also SUPER sensitive.
It also has SPF in it, and doesnt smell at all.
Theirmakeup remover wipesare really gentle too.
Oh andoil blotting wipesare my savior.
I ALWAYS have them in my purse.
My skin didnt know what the heck was going on!
Now, I just use a simple cleanser every night (I take showers at night).
My preferred brand isBiore, but Im not picky.
Just nothing that completely dries me out.
In the morning, I typically dont wash my face unless I feel greasy/oily etc.
And I dont apply lotion unless my skin is extremely dry.

I have THE most embarrassingly unsophisticated skincare routine.
I like it because it feels like its working.
I love this lotion because its super lightweight and I am VERY sensitive to feeling over-oily.
But back to my face.
https://www.instagram.com/p/BZ9HL8CBhys/?taken-by=ranianaimI dont have a specific one.
Lately Ive been getting into the habit of doing coffee scrubs on my face and body.
I just make it at home.
You mix coffee grounds with either olive oil or coconut oil and add some sugar.
Mix it well until it forms a paste.
It really helps tighten and rejuvenate the skin and gives it a nice glow!
Once thats all dealt with, I useGarniers Skin Active moisturizer.
My nightly routine is somehow even more unreliable than my morning one.
First, I scrub off my makeup withNeutrogena makeup wipesI use my face cleanser again.
I dont know!!!
Im terrible at skincare!!!
I have incredibly sensitive skin, so I also double-check all the products I use are gentle.
In the morning, I useBare Minerals purifying facial cleanser.
I got hooked on it college because its incredibly soothing and gentle, perfect the morning.
It doesnt dry out your skin whatsoever and just leaves you feeling nice and awake.
Next, I apply my favorite moisturizer in the universe,Moisture Surge Extra Thirsty Skin Reliefby Clinique.
This stuff is worth the price tag and makes your face feels like a babys bottom.
A cheaper alternative I also like isPonds Dry Skin Cream.
For a pick me up, I adore theMario Badescu Facial Spray.
It smells like roses and bonus it wont break you out!
At night, I hop in the shower and like to exfoliate the crap out of my face.
My all time favorite exfoliators areSt.
Ives Green Tea Scrub, andEnlite Super Face Scrub.
Both are relatively inexpensive and can be found at any drugstore.
The Enlite one especially is so finely milled and soothing, it makes you feel brand new afterwards.
This stuff will significantly decrease the size of any pimples or scars.
Its my secret weapon for when I have an event or a date the next day.
Seriously, its worth every penny!
Last but not least, I ensure to moisturize my skin at night with a relatively heavy night cream.
Especially as the days are getting colder, my skin gets zapped of all moisture.
