As much as I try to deny it, my skin will not lot me forget that I am in my late 30’s. For most of my life I was lucky – I had even, fresh skin that very rarely punished me with blemishes. Now my skin is dry, dull, blotchy and overall tired looking. It has finally taken a stand to let me know that it will no longer tolerate inconsistent and haphazard treatment.
I have been trying to be more consistent with a morning and nighttime skincare. Although bad habits die hard, I think I have been relatively successful over the past 6 months.

Morning Routine
- Wake up and hit snooze a ridiculous amount of times
- Wash my face with a cleansing oil, most recently Deciem’s Hylamide High Efficiency Face Cleanser
- Pat my face dry
- Hydrate with a light serum, most recently Deciem’s Caffeine Solution
- Moisturize with a face lotion, most recently Deciem’s Natural Moisturizing Factors + HA
- Apply primer and makeup as per usual

Nighttime Routine
- Remove eye make up, I like Nivea MicellAIR makeup remover
- Remove makeup and residue with cleansing gel, I like NeoStrata Detoxifying Micellar Gel
- Massage face with a facial cleanser brush head, I have been using Lifebrands’s Mini Facial Cleansing Kit
- Wash face with hydrating cleanser (most recently I have been using Vichy) and facial scrub brush head
- Pat my face dry
- Apply hydrating serum, most recently Deciem’s Hyaluronic Acid
- Moisturize with a hyrdating face lotion

I have years of abuse for my skin to forgive me for still, but I think if I continue to be consistent with my care routine and choose quality products I will be able to continue to keep my skin looking fresh and even.
