My Current Skincare Routine (& A Bit of an Update)

by 7BearSarah


Hello! So, I have been missing from the blogging and vlogging scene for a little bit. The reason being, my brother recently got married (YAY!) so my parents and I were up in Illinois helping with last minute wedding plans. It was an insane week therefore I felt as though I needed a few days to catch my breath and relax. Excuses, excuses....

Anyway, I wanted to write up a post about my current skincare routine. I did make a video pertaining to this topic, so if you're interested in seeing the products I will mention in action, click here

For reference, I have combination to oily skin that is very acne prone. Although, since I started using all of these products together, I don't get much acne at all. 

To take off my makeup, I use Bioderma Solution Micellaire on a cotton pad. My skin got significantly better after I completely cut makeup wipes out of my routine. 

My theory is that when I was only using makeup wipes, I wasn't getting everything off my face, which led to acne. I even use Bioderma (which you can buy on Amazon for $31.50 here) when I'm either having a lazy skincare night or I got home really late or something of that nature. This does a fantastic job at removing makeup WITHOUT stinging my sensitive eyes. 

To cleanse my face, I use the First Aid Beauty Face Cleanser ($20 at Sephora). It is formulated for sensitive skin, which I appreciate because my face can air on the sensitive side at times. I usually cleanse my skin twice with this. Now, this may seem excessive, but I feel as though my skin feel cleaner if I cleanse twice. That's just me though.

I feel as though the superhero skincare product, so to speak, for me is the First Aid Beauty Blemish Patrol Pads ($30 at Sephora). I have only had a small handful of breakouts (which were purely hormonal) since I started using these. They are also marketed as an oil control product, which I highly appreciate. 

And last, but certainly not least, for moisturizer, I use the Korres Greek Yogurt Advanced Sleeping Facial ($45 at Sephora). This is a very lightweight cream that sinks into the skin pretty quickly without feeling greasy. I wake up with glowing, soft skin. 

That wraps this post up. What products are you currently using as a part of your skincare regime. Let me know!
