My Ultimate Spring Regimen To Reset My Skin.
I’m that person who never skips a day of SPF. SPF is my number one beauty tool, but I also have other tricks up my sleeve to keep my skin looking fresh and radiant all year round. It takes a lot to make me look like the girl in the L’Oreal ads. I use these three steps in my regimen to cleanse, tone and moisturize to make sure I don’t break out.
1. Mornings: After washing your face with a gentle cleanser, exfoliate with a scrub made for dry skin (like Philosophy’s Purity Made Simple). Toner helps balance out skin’s natural pH levels and remove excess dirt and oil from pores, so it should come next in your routine. I like to use Clinique Clarifying Lotion or La Roche-Posay Effaclar Toner because they help neutralize any redness and inflammation. Then I applied for an oil-free.
What does a good regimen look like?
A good skincare regimen is about creating a healthy balance for your skin. Having the right combination of ingredients in your products, applied at the right time, can help your skin stay look its best all year long. You might have to experiment with what works best for your skin type, but here are some general guidelines:
- For oily skin, use an oil-free moisturizer and blot oils throughout the day with blotting papers or a napkin.
- For dry skin, use a moisturizer with SPF and drink plenty of water to hydrate skin
- For sensitive skin, use gentle products that don't contain fragrance or many additives
# What's in my skincare regimen?
My morning routine consists of cleansing my face with Purity Made Simple (to remove dirt and makeup), exfoliating with Philosophy's Purity Made Simple scrub (to smooth rough patches), toning with Clinique Clarifying Lotion (to balance out pH levels) and applying an oil-free moisturizer like L'Oreal Paris Youth Code Skin Renewal Day Cream Broad Spectrum SPF 30. At night I do the same thing but without the scrub because it can be too harsh on sensitive skin types.
Skin care tips for the morning and night
When it comes to skincare, I’m pretty strict about protecting my face from the sun. I always use SPF 30 or higher and never forget to reapply throughout the day-even if my makeup has sunscreen.
It's important to take care of your skin every day, not just when you're wearing a lot of makeup. These three steps—cleanse, tone, and moisturize—should be done in the morning and night.

SPF tips to never forget
SPF is very important, but it's also easy to forget when you're in a hurry. It doesn't have to be hard! Here are five tips to always remember when applying SPF.
1. Use sunscreen every day. Even if you're not going outside that day, the sun can still damage your skin.
2. Apply at least 15 minutes before going outside to give it time to sink in and work its magic. This will help prevent sunburns and lessens tanning time.
3. Apply liberally, reapply often, and wear protective clothing like long sleeves and pants during peak sun hours (10am-2pm).
4. If you plan on sweating or swimming, use waterproof sunscreen or an oil-free lotion, so sweat doesn't break down the protection on your skin even more!
5. Wear sunglasses because UV rays can get into your eyes too!
Diet and exercise
A healthy diet and regular exercise are both important for skin health. I try to have a protein-rich breakfast, drink lots of water and get in some cardio during the day. If I eat too many carbs or sugar, my skin can break out as a result. It’s also important to stay hydrated by drinking lots of water - it helps keep your cells healthy and plump.
2. Night: After washing your face with your oil-free cleanser, apply an exfoliant (like Philosophy's Purity Made Simple) and then toner again one more time before applying moisturizer (I like Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion). Exfoliating removes dead skin cells and dirt from pores that were not removed during the day; toners help balance pH levels, so moisturizer will work better with the skin; moisturizers keep the skin hydrated and smooth.
My Morning Routine
As I mentioned, toner is an essential step to my morning routine. If you have sensitive skin, it's best to find a toner made with alcohol-free ingredients. One of my personal favorites is the Clinique Clarifying Lotion. It's gentle and has salicylic acid which helps reduce breakouts. You can also use La Roche-Posay Effaclar Toner, which is designed for sensitivity and allergies too.
Next, I apply an oil-free moisturizer like CeraVe Cream or Aveeno Positively Radiant Moisturizer SPF 30 before heading out the door. This will help keep your face hydrated all day long while providing sun protection (always be sure to check the product label).
Lastly, I recommend applying sunscreen every single day on exposed areas of your skin like your neck and arms. And don't forget your hands!
My Evening Routine
1. Morning: I start by cleansing my face with a gentle cleanser (like Philosophy's Purity Made Simple) and then exfoliate to remove dead skin cells, dirt and oil that can clog pores. I use Clinique Clarifying Lotion or La Roche-Posay Effaclar Toner to balance out the natural pH levels in your skin and treat any redness or inflammation. 2. Night: Next, I apply an oil-free moisturizer like L’Oreal Paris Youth Code Night Cream which targets wrinkles to help tighten pores.
